Here is a collection of Green Hornet and Kato props weaponry photos, again collected from many different sources, and as stated there were many variations and copies
made each with subtle differences so no one individual item can be called the "prop" to be copied from. These include:
 |
- The Hornet Sting
- The Hornet Gun
- Kato's Nunchucks
- The Gold Transmitter Pocket Watch
- The secure phone scrambler device
- The Hornet Flashlight
- The Green Hornet's Secret Compartment/Transmitter Ring
- Kato's Throwing Darts
- The Gas Masks

The Hornet Sting – Click photos for larger version (photos 1 and 2 only)
Photo 1: Details showing the flip open cap with light, the foldable handle, the end tip. It appears to have 5 telescoping segments coming out from the basic unit. The size is approx. 14.5" collapsed and approx. 42" extended. The tv series shows this telescoping action to be automatic (maybe C02 activated) or later just a wrist flick to extend! Photo 2: Early Sting version, notice large handle and 5 telescoping segments. Photo 3: Later Sting, thinner with tip, again 5 telescoping segments. |
There was an accurate replica made in very limited numbers (maybe 10?) in the early 90's (above). Very hard to find and expensive that includes a sound chip. For a
prop device try finding a long tactical baton or a camera/telescope tripod/monopod leg that can be modified. I've even seen some cheap Star Wars plastic LightSabers that could work.
The Green Hornet/Britt Reid's Watch – Can be used as a voice communicator with the Black Beauty or to activate the "buzz" signal in District
Attorney Scanlon's glasses.

A nice example, however it is a little too small in size!
