Seth Rogan's 2011 film GREEN HORNET was based on the television series THE GREEN HORNET which ran for a single season on ABC. From 1966-1967 Vanzant Williams portrayed the masked hero who owned a vehicle that he dubbed "Black Beauty." The car was a 1965 Chrysler Imperial Crown which was hidden away underneath the garage of Britt Reid who was the Hornet's real identity.
