The Original Props

In his earlier radio and movie serial incarnations the Green Hornet carried a number of weapons and gadgets, but the Hornet Sting prop was created specifically for the TV series. It was a futuristic sonic gadget that was employed in a variety of ways from opening doors to stunning foes. The Sting packed a real ... well sting!

Several different props were used during the production of the original TV series. These ranged from very basic non functional pieces for stunt, or distance shots, often lacking detail, to functional pieces including a gas powered version that was only used once. Why? Because it was potentially dangerous and would spring open with tremendous CO2 powered force, making it almost an actual weapon. Of the various different Sting props the 'flick open' one was the most used and was Van Williams personal favorite because it was the most practical.

Requires & includes 3 x AAA batteries.
