The Green Hornet

The Green Hornet is not the serious Marvel heroes' movies like Spiderman, Captain America or Superman. Rather, there is a cynical side to it that the real hero Green Hero is a hopeless figure and depends on his sidekick, Kato solely.
The Hornet is Britt Reid (Rogen), the playboy son of a newspaper mogul (Wilkinson) who inherits his father's company after the old man succumbs to a bee sting. He also "inherits" his dad's mechanic and coffee-maker Kato (Chou), who turns out to be a genius.
They hatched the idea to be in the capes to fight crimes. There are plenty of laughs as Green Hornet tires to fight the bad guys only to be a hopeless until Kato intervenes.
As they become more well-known, Green Hornet begins to crow about his success leaving no credit to Kato. Naturally, both fight it out one night. Will this be the end of their liaison?
