* The film is a treatise on identity and perception. Britt's father is seen as a great man, but Britt and Kato know how he is in private. The duo pretend to be villains to be perceived as having no ties. Britt plays up his buffoonery to avoid suspicion. And Chudnofsky's entire arc is one VillainousBreakdown focused on the fact that he isn't seen as scary. Many films focus on personal struggles for heroes, but every part of this film, more than any other superhero movie, work with how people are perceived and their identities in contrast with how they are seen.

*** A number of the FX in this movie (the method by which the Hornet and Kato escape Chudnofsky's death trap, the elevator cutting the Black Beauty in half, and driving the Black Beauty after it was cut in half) were tested by Adam Savage, Jamie Hyneman, and the rest of the crew on a ''Series/{{Mythbusters}}'' ''Green Hornet'' special (featuring a guest appearance by SethRogen). As you might figure out on your own, only one of the effects (driving the Black Beauty after it is cut in half) rated as high as "plausible", and that assumed extensive modifications to the car.
