Visible crew/equipment: The Green Hornet zaps the bad guy's rifle with his stinger ray. When the gun bursts into flames, the wire leading to the explosive special effects charge is visible trailing off to the right of the shot. (00:17:30)
The Green Hornet (1966)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake in The Preying Mantis
Starring: Bruce Lee, Wende Wagner, Lloyd Gough, Van Williams
Revealing mistake: Reid's rear view mirror, missing in all the medium shots (processed in-studio with an obvious rear-screen projection), mysteriously reappears in full shot when his Chrysler pulls into the car shop. (00:14:00)
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.
