Seth Rogen proclaimed the film was a "nightmare", chalking it up to studio executives paying little attention to the most expensive portions of the film, and its inflated budget.
Seth Rogen shed thirty pounds to play the title role.
After the rights to The Green Hornet property were purchased by Miramax in 2001, Kevin Smith was attached to write and direct the film in 2004, with Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead. The story had Britt Reid a.k.a. The Green Hornet, and Kato as old men in retirement, with Britt Reid, Jr. a.k.a. Green Hornet II (Gyllenhaal) and Kato's daughter donning their fathers' masks to combat a new evil. Smith pulled out of directing, due to an insecurity of directing with such a large budget. He stayed on as writer, and wrote two drafts, but with no further progress with the script, the rights were let go, and purchased by Columbia Pictures. Then, Seth Rogen, who had starred in Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008), became attached to star, and write a completely different screenplay. Smith's screenplay was adapted into a comic book miniseries, called "Green Hornet: Sins of the Father", published by Dynamite before the movie's release.
Nicolas Cage was initially cast as Chudnofsky, but dropped out. He intended to play the role with a Jamaican accent, much to director Michel Gondry's dismay. In his book, Seth Rogen talks about meeting with Cage after the movie got made and Cage accused him of telling James Franco about his idea after seeing the movie Spring Breakers (2012).
When Britt and Kato are watching themselves on the news, running away from vandalizing the statue, Kato does not see himself on-screen. He reasons he is "too fast for the camera". When Bruce Lee played Kato in The Green Hornet (1966), they filmed his fight scenes at a faster rate because he was "too fast for the camera".
"Britt Reid: Kato, I want you to take my hand, and I want you to come with me on this adventure. Kato: I go with you, but I don't want to touch you."
"Kato: You shot yourself face by mistake. Britt Reid: How long was I out? What time is it? Kato: Two o'clock. Britt Reid: Oh, that's not so bad. Kato: On Thursday. Britt Reid: It's Thursday? Are you ki... It's not Monday right now? Kato: No. I'm sorry. Britt Reid: Did you put this diaper on me? Well, what did I miss? Kato: Nothing really. I did some work on the Black Beauties. Britt Reid: "Beauties"? [Britt looks in the garage, sees more "Black Beauty" Chrysler Imperials] Britt Reid: Holy crap. Kato: They're backups. Britt Reid: How the hell did you do this in four days? Kato: It's been 11 days. Britt Reid: Whoa, 11 days? What? Are kidding me? I wasn't sleeping, I was in a coma, dick!"
