Batman has all kinds of cool gizmos...What does the Green
Hornet use?
The number 1 piece of equipment would have to be the
Black Beauty, the Hornet's souped-up car. It was really
a 1966 Chrysler Imperial rebuilt by Hollywood customizer
Dean Jeffries at a reported cost of $50,000. Some of
Black Beauty's equipment includes a special exhaust device
that spreads ice over the road, and brushes behind the
rear wheels which, when lowered, sweep away tire tracks.
For personal equipment, the Green Hornet uses a special
nonlethal gas gun and a sting gun able to penetrate steel.
