Continuity mistake: The Black Beauty leaves Britt Reid's garage in full daylight. In the very next shot, as the car pulls out into the street, it's completely dark. (00:03:35)
The Green Hornet (1966)
1 continuity mistake in The Preying Mantis
Starring: Bruce Lee, Wende Wagner, Lloyd Gough, Van Williams
Crime Wave - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Kato activates the clamps that prepare Reid's car for the flip-over that will reveal the Green Hornet's "Black Beauty." We see the clamps hook themselves to the car in close-up. But in the next, wider shot of the car turning over, the clamps have disappeared. (00:05:00)
Narrator: Another challenge for the Green Hornet, his aide Kato, and their rolling arsenal, the Black Beauty. On Police records a wanted criminal, Green Hornet is really Britt Reid, owner-publisher of the Daily Sentinel, his dual identity known only to his secretary and to the district attorney. And now, to protect the rights and lives of decent citizens, rides THE green hornet."
Trivia: According to his creators, Britt Reid is a descendant of the Lone Ranger's nephew, Dan Reid. Apparently the "masked man syndrome" ran in the family.
