Black Beauty facts from the 2011 film "Green Hornet"
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. Behind the garage wall were a set of switches on a secret control panel that turned the vehicle's headlights to green. There were clamps that would attach to the bumpers of Reid's personal vehicle, and the garage floor would rotate. This hid the car and Black Beauty would emerge and exit the garage.

‘Tom and Jerry’ the man behind Tom’s screams
If you are a fan of the famous cat and mouse duo TOM AND JERRY you know that Tom has had a distinctive yell. In my neck of the woods, children would tease each other by saying that someone was screaming like Tom. It was also common to hear boys tell each other that Tom screamed lie a little girl. During the cartoons, Tom has been set on fire, beaten and bashed, had doors slammed in his face and bowling balls and anvils dropped on his head. His tail has been cut off and bitten by dogs so this cat has a right to shout to the high heavens because of the pain.
