3 out of 5 stars Two really good episodes.......2007-09-14


I'm a big fan who was "traumatised" as a kid by Banner's Hulk-outs. For this reason, I can watch each show with a certain fascination.

For non-fans, the only two good episodes are Married and Mystery Man. The remaining shows are only average.

It has to be said though that Bill Bixby is a wonderful actor and really carried the show in places.

Do pick this collection up if you're a fan!!

3 out of 5 stars no first season and only tollerable, HOWEVER a couple of notable episodes!.......2007-08-05

While the first season was good and had the charm of the main plot and interesting character plots, this second season is more of a pollitical statement as most every(or every other at least) episode is some heavy-hearted emotional issue related too much to life, as drinking or abuse or "anger" management. these issues need to be addressed in their own genre, not science fiction dramas or any kind of TV drama not directly related. Not only is the emotional "baggage" inapproriate, it is blatently odvious and takes presience over any thing else. Why not be subtle, you don't need a support group seminar to get some message across to people. This is far far worse in today's TV and movies then the 1970's or even 80's and by these standards, The Incredible Hulk's statements are mild in comparison and right on the money AT LEAST!(thus I give 3, not 1 star). Unlike the twisted ethos of today(as in Doctor Who Davy Tennet trashola or even worse, Chrissy Escalator Head's dopy ethics!), these 70's Hulk episodes are correct(as in unbiased and moderate, not one sided) yet I beleive another avenue is needed to tell these heavy tales and it is so very unfortunate that an enjoyable avenue as sci fi has to be the constant target for PC statements as these, and thus distracting from sci fi(as in projected future or figurative SCIENIFIC) qualities of a film/series or so on.. Harlen Elsian would likely concur. Most Hulk writers are more actors than writers and also appeared in the show. Carol Baxter to name one, in "Promethius"-season three or four I believe. Of the more notable and rememberable epsiodes of season 2 is "The Mystery Man", a two parter about a plane crash after Banner suffers amniesia from "hitchhiking"("don't try that at home, kids!"). Banner and McGee make nice for the journey back to civilistion and Banner must recover amneisia while playing "scar victim" under a white mask to McGEE. "Stop The Presses" is another business-like(and emotional baggage free) episode played out as "An interveiw with the Hulk." type senerio. Only emotion is banner's conflict with his self and the pride that led to his transformation in the Pilot movie. Very tear moving! Great stuff!(non PC). The most notable of all(and ironically my favorite too despite my contempt for the season as a whole axiom) "Another Path"(and the accompaning sequal) where Banner befriends a martial arts master who utilizes "mind over matter" and eastern philospies of disiplin in times of pain and healing. Of course the season begins with "Married" to most, the best of them, yet not any sort of political statement, a bit heavy and smoothering on the syrip of emotion if you ask me. Not just a tear jerk but a long and drawn out agnoy with this woman who was acted by Mariette Hartley. A good actress in all things(and celebrity) who was quite often, in those days ,type cast in to sci-fi "B" roles and usually the "pain bearer altruist" of sci-fi heroins. See the Star Trek soap opra (can't recall title,) Spock in central role as well the separate movies she did well into the 70's. She is actually a Susan Sullivan replacement to illustrate that Banner was in fact a human being who had a life beyond the futitive status and gives continuity to the pilot which otherwise would be too segratated to believe as part of the serial. Dispite a bit of cornball comedy and cliche 70's stereo-type impersionations(in joke) this(main plot) was also moving, yet a bit too drawn out like a ship lost in a storm at sea and under constant battle with the storm.(tiring). When I was a kid this was always one I had trouble watching("Married") as it was the first 1970's TV show to make one "tired".(except for that Jack O'Hallorn Made for TV movie about a huricane I suppose-tragic and all too long!)

1 out of 5 stars Another Medicore TV release from Universal.............2007-07-30

Once again, Universal gives us a largely disapointing cheap release of a TV show on DVD. What's wrong this Time? Well almost everything. If you do not fall asleep listening to the producer's audio commentry or on camera interview, then you will get angry at the fact that once again the episodes do not seem to have been remasterd for DVD release, and if any effort was made at doing that, then it's very poor. On the plus side, all the episodes seem to be in their original edited versions as first shown on CBS, but when you slap on a thrid season episode as a bonus feature, then it comes off as cheap Universal marketing, That's all.

In the end, unless you really want this show on DVD to be in your collection, you are best off to avoid this Universal DVD trash making all together. I myself will be buying bootleg copies of various episodes from E-Bay.

5 out of 5 stars The Incredible Journey Continues With Arguably Its Strongest Season!.......2007-07-17

While all the seasons of The Incredible Hulk had its share of good and great eppys, season 2 was arguably the strongest of all of them with the classics "Married" and "Mystery Man" as well as good episodes like "A Child In Need," "The Antowuk Horror", "Rainbow's End" and "Another Path."

Here is what you'll see:

Disc 1

Married - One of the legendary episodes from the whole series. Here we see Dr. Banner travel to Hawaii to consult Dr. Carolyn Fields about his condition. The relationship turns from doctor/patient into love but ends in tragedy in this gripping two hour episode! Bonus commentary that was originally featured on this eppy by Kenneth Johnson on the "The Incredible Hulk: Original Television Movie" is also on this release.

The Antowuk Horror - After an encounter with The Hulk, a local resident create their own "Hulk" to try to increase the tourist dollars.

Ricky - A mentally challenged young man is duped into driving a defective car in a demolition derby.

Disc 2

Rainbow's End - Seeing how a special indian compound worked to calm a wild horse, Dr. Banner seeks the remedy for his own terrible condition. He also must prevent the murder of this same horse.

A Child In Need - While working as a gardner, David runs across an abused child. While trying to investigate this, he tangles with the child's father. The Hulk dishes his own lesson to the abusive parent.

Another Path - While traveling, David meets Li Song, a blind martial artist that suggests his own techniques may be the path to controling The Hulk.

Alice In Disco Land - Dr. Banner encounters a child from his past (who is now an adult) with a drinking problem.

Killer Instinct - David befriends a football player named Johnny whose own aggression is out of control both on and off the football field.

Disc Three

Stop The Presses - A young reporter uses questionable means to gain a story on a local restaurant. David goes to stop the story because one of the pictures has a clear shot of him and could expose him!

Escape From Los Santos - While traveling west, David is framed as an accomplice with a woman (who is also innocent) for the murder of her own husband!

Wildfire - A saboteur tries to stop drilling on an oil site until The Hulk intervenes.

A Solitary Place - David goes to Mexico to find solitude in order to avoid changing into his green alter-ego. Unfortunately, trouble finds him as a fellow doctor seeks her own refuge.

Like A Brother - A battle between a local preacher and a drug dealer brings The Hulk into the fray! I personally call this one "Hulk In Da Hood!" LOL!

Disc Four

The Haunted - While working as a moving man, David finds a young woman haunted by a childhood tragedy.

Mystery Man, Pt. 1 - In this legendary two-parter, David suffers a bout of amnesia due to a car accident as well as facial burns. His only link to his memory lies with his enemy Jack McGee!

Mystery Man, Pt. 2 - While traveling to Los Angeles, David and Jack's plane crashes down in the wilderness and the two men are fighting both nature and a forrest fire! Also, McGee gains a huge clue into the identity of The Hulk!

The Disciple - In a follow up to "Another Path," David returns to an ailing Li Sung and helps a police officer see the blind man's wisdom. The officer is played by 80's rock star Rick Springfield.

No Escape - The Hulk accidentally helps a deranged man escape custody. Now, he must correct his error.

Disc Five

Kindred Spirits - David hooks up with an expedition that may hold a clue in how to control or cure his transformations. Guest stars a young Kim Catrell (long before her Sex And The City days).

The Confession - A lonely man, after an encounter with The Hulk, claims to be the creature's alter-ego!

The Quiet Room - David encounters a doctor who uses mind control to control his patients.

Vendetta Road - A young couple tries to bring down an oil company they believe was responsible for a loved one's death.

Bonus Episode:
Homecoming - In a taste of Season 3, we see David revealing to his father and sister that he is in fact alive! Meanwhile, a local tycoon wants David's dad to give up his land so he can build and will do anything (including murder) to see it happen. Another pivitol and legendary show from the series.

Overall, a very good purchase!

5 out of 5 stars Incredible Hulk Season 2.......2007-07-16

Just to let everyone know who is getting this set they are including a bonus episode of Homecoming from season 3.I agree with what other reviewers said.Season 2 was the strongest season.

Product Description

" Don t make me angry. You wouldn t like me when I m angry." Mild-mannered research scientist David Banner (Emmy nominee Bill Bixby) finds he must offer this heroic warning after exposure to gamma radiation transforms him into the terrifying and enraged Hulk (Lou Ferrigno). Bursting from comic book pages into this 4-disc DVD set, the Complete First Season of The Incredible Hulk boasts all ten heart-pounding episodes, plus a preview episode from Season Two. Must-see bonus materials include the two original feature-length films, an introduction from The Hulk himself (Ferrigno), and in-depth commentary from producer Kenneth Johnson. Intense. Immense. Incredible!

Format: DVD MOVIE

Amazon.com

One of the best television adaptations of a comic book, The Incredible Hulk (1978-82) lent gravity and pathos to the fantastic premise--an experiment gone wrong causes a scientist to transform into a giant creature whenever he becomes angry--established in the popular Marvel Comics series. The network version stripped away the Hulk's outlandish foes (as well as his rudimentary speech) and instead focused on the loneliness of his human alter ego, David Banner (well played by the late Bill Bixby), as he traveled across the United States in search of a cure for his affliction as well as an escape from a prying reporter (the late Jack Colvin, also terrific). But despite its Fugitive-like premise, the TV Hulk never lost its comic book audience thanks to the plausibly ferocious performance by actor/bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno (whose growls were dubbed by actors Ted Cassidy and Charles Napier) as the Hulk, who handled the action portions of the show with plausibly superhuman brawn. The Complete First Season set contains both of the pilots that kicked off the series ("Pilot" was previously released on a separate single disc) as well as all 10 episodes from the first season; among the adventures encountered by David and the Hulk are a gambling scandal in Vegas ("The Hulk Breaks Las Vegas"), a meltdown at a nuclear facility ("Earthquakes Happen"), and a runaway plane ("747," which reunites Bixby with his Courtship of Eddie's Father co-star Brandon Cruz).

Extras on the set have been the subject of much Internet debate--the commentary by series writer/producer/director Kenneth Johnson on "Pilot" is the same as on the previous DVD release of this episode (as well as the introduction by Ferrigno), and a proposed gag reel mentioned in promotional material has been moved to a future DVD release. The sole fresh bonus material is "Stop the Presses," an episode taken from the series' second season. --Paul Gaita

4 out of 5 stars Holds up surprsingly well.......2007-09-11

I'm the first to admit that nostalgia can blind us to the true merits, or lack of, any number of artistic endeavors. This is never more true than when viewing t.v. shows produced in the 70's and 80's. I was nine years old when The Incredible Hulk premiered. And, along with the Six Million Dollar Man, it was just about he coolest thing I'd ever seen. Even then, I knew that the Hulk was just a big strong man in green makeup, But it didn't matter. . .it was a comic book come to life. And what nine year old boy could resist that?

It was, then with no small amount of trepidation that I approached my old favorite as a 39-year old man. Would it seem cheesy now? I hoped not, but somehow I figured it would have to. Then I watched the pilot episode, probably for the first time at least 20 years. And you know something? There's not much childish about it. I got hooked all over again on the grown-up problems of this man, David Banner. I'm sure that in 1977, I endured all the drama because the payoff was coming: The Big Green Guy would come out and punish wrong-doers. But I really gained a new adult insight into the show. It's NOT about the Hulk, it's about David Banner.

To be fair, none of the episodes in the series' short first season really quite live up to the feature-quality pilot. But there's Bill Bixby, who makes Banner a wholly believable and sympathetic character. Of course, there's plenty of action for the kid in us all. And there's that tear-jerker piano theme that closes out each episode. . .as Banner must leave behind the new friends (or enemies) he's made and keep moving. And for the cynical-minded, yes, there IS some cheesiness to be had (my favorite: as the Hulk wrestles a grizzly bear, green paint rubs off on the animal in several shots).

In a world where nothing seems as good as it used to be (or maybe that's just middle age creeping up on me?), The Incredible Hulk still holds up quite well.

5 out of 5 stars Home is Where the Hulk Is... .......2007-08-11

WARNING:Spoilers contained herein...
I'm a new fan of "The Incredible Hulk" (I wasn't alive back in the 70s) and am already hooked on this great story and series; just about everything here is as great as it gets. I guess not having been an original generation fan, and therefore not having spent years of disgruntled waiting for this release to happen, has allowed me to avoid the bad taste that Universal seems to have left in the mouths of some others. That said, I still fail to see how marketing issues, unfortunate as they are, could make anyone dislike the show itself (as seems to have happened with one reviewer here.) I think the DVDs themselves are fine; the packaging is great (perhaps better than the second set), the extras aren't much (though I can't say I've heard the commentary yet, nor seen "Stop the Presses" from season; the latter I'll probably just watch on the season 2 set), but the video and audio quality is good, with a little grain popping up from time to time (this minor issue will, I'm sure, elect enraged outbursts from "technophiles".) So the DVD itself is a 4/5 (it's a TV series so I don't expect that much in the way of bonuses; the occasional quality problems do merit a downgrade in the rating though) but how about the episodes?
First off, the grading of actual episodes breaks down into two categories: the two films (pilots) contained on disc 1, and the ten regular episodes contained on discs 2-4, and which make up the whole of season 1. For their part, the two pilot films are both enjoyable and important to the series as a whole (obviously; one is the first episode ever and shows the creation of the hulk!) "The Incredible Hulk" (Pilot) is a GREAT human film (and I do think that the humanity of Dr. Banner is one of the greatest elements of the series.) All acting, writing (script and story) are good to great, the action is exiting, and yes, heart-pounding (to use the cliche so joyously employed on the back of the DVD case.) The Hulk overturns David's car, setting it alight, pulls a tree and drops on into a river in an attempt to save a young girl (this whole scene is perhaps a highlight for the pilot Hulk-wise), and breaks into a burning building. The most important part of this episode, however, is the humanity and sadness of David Banner/The Incredible Hulk. This is brought through by the excellent (and often exiting) writing and direction of Ken Johnson, and the acting of Bill Bixby (Banner), and Susan Sullivan as his beautiful assistant, Elaina Marks (the rest of the cast is fine too, and watch of course, for Lou Ferrigno in his great premiere performance as the Hulk.) All of this serves to make the pilot an entertaining, well-written, well-acted, well-paced, exiting 5/5 film. "Death in the Family" (the second film) plays out pretty much exactly like a standard episode of the series stretched to two hours... and that means action, action, and more action! Of course there is great writing (a cracking murder plot) and acting behind this thing, but the suspense, excitement, and action (of which the great plot is a fine provider), along with characters drive it. The Hulk battles several ranching employees in the best Hulk vs. Man "fist fight" I've seen yet, and also wrestles a grizzly, and a snake while helping a girl and an old man (both acted to near perfection) through the woods for help. He also knocks a helicopter out of the sky with a boulder in an impressive show of special effects. All in all, this film is an engaging, exiting, rewarding, suspenseful, and well-made one. 4.5/5; in hindsight, a sign of great things to come.
The regular episodes: those programs running 50 minutes which make up a majority of this set. Favorites include: "Final Round" (love the whole boxing thing, exiting, well-written story, even if drug dealers are nothing new in action entertainment, engaging characters and acting of an at least competent level from the guest stars and GREAT action, no matter what anyone says; I don't know much about the "Rocky" movie thing from that time period, so I can't pass comment there; I just think this is an especially good episode.) I also like: "The Beast Within" (that gorilla), " Terror in Times Square" (my absolute favorite yet), "747" (my 2nd favorite; great, action-packed, brilliantly suspenseful episode, "The Hulk Breaks Los Vegas" ( merely good as compared to "747" or "Terror in...") "Life and Death" is a fairly good episode, if not outstanding, I greatly enjoyed "The Waterfront Story", a political piece with a solid cast/characters, great action and excitement and some humor (the barroom brawl scene being an example of the winning humor that, much to the episode's advantage, did not override the entire plot.) I have yet to view "Earthquakes Happen" but am looking forward to doing so soon.
Finally, there are two remaining episodes that I felt deserved special attention, for various reasons. First off is "Of Guilt, Models, and Murder" (disc 2, episode 3.) Here we find a clever plot (and fine script) involving David coming out of a metamorphosis in the apartment of model as the episode's beginning; the only problem is that the model is DEAD! Is the Hulk a murderer? Attempting to find out, David enters employment as a chauffeur for Joslin Cosmetics; the company headed by James Joslin (Jeremy Brett), had apparently hired the model. Here David uncovers a chilling murder plot...
This episode has, for various reasons, been called the weakest of season 1 by a number of reviewers. I beg to differ; it isn't the strongest, but as a fan of murder mysteries (and Jeremy Brett, Granada's "Sherlock Holmes") I found this episode highly enjoyable. The plot and writing were fairly good, as was the acting (OK, Loni Anderson isn't great, but she is fairly good), and it was exciting, suspenseful, and had some nice action. The action wasn't the best (one hulk-out scene was entirely in flashback, told from various points of view), but their is nothing sub-par about the Hulk battling a car crusher (and winning.) Good episode already; The Hulk, Bill Bixby, Jeremy Brett- what more could you want!!?
Last but not least, comes "Never Give Trucker and Even Break" (disc 3, episode 3) in which David assists Jonie, a trucker, exact revenge on a group of criminals/truckers who stole her Dad's "rig." This is easily the weakest of season 1 (again, I don't care what anyone says on this subject.) The humor works sometimes, the story and script (involving "very expensive computer components" in David's words) is far from the best, but does work, and there is good exciting action and things definitely pick up at the end with the second Hulk-out, and the telephone pole thing (which must be seen to be believed.) There is also an impressive piece of action as the truck crashes over the edge of a cliff, and explodes spectacularly. It has a way of growing on you (even just thinking about it) but is easily the weakest here; not that it's that bad, just a little below the standard set by previous episodes. 3.5/5
Overall, "The Incredible Hulk" show, and season 1 DVD, is great entertainment for those who enjoy action, and some character. Highly recommended for action fans, and those who can suspend their disbelief for a short while every now and then. Final rating: 5/5.

5 out of 5 stars bill bixby/hulk.......2007-03-31

I had never seen the Hulk when it was on TV originally and was suprised to see the professionalism in producing this series. The stories are good and the acting is good. I found myself really becoming involved in the story lines and the characters. I bought the series for my grandson who is four because he loves the Hulk. However this TV series was a little old for him to understand the dialog and story line. I would recommend it for older children.

Anchor Bay's Incredible Hulk double-disc set offers The Incredible Hulk Returns (1988) and The Trial of the Incredible Hulk (1989), the first two of three made-for-TV movies featuring the Marvel Comics monster hero that aired after the CBS series' demise in 1982. Both discs also include a considerable amount of supplemental material, including interviews with star Lou Ferrigno and comic book legend Stan Lee. Bill Bixby returns as tormented scientist David Banner (in addition to executive producing Returns and directing Trial), as does Ferrigno as his green-skinned alter ego. In both titles, they are paired with other Marvel creations; in Returns, Banner is joined by the Mighty Thor to thwart industrial espionage, and in Trial, he's defended by blind lawyer Matt Murdock (Rex Smith), a.k.a. Daredevil. Bixby's always-credible presence brings believability to the fanciful storylines, and both features have the right mix of drama and action that should satisfy fans of the series and its graphic origins alike. --Paul Gaita

3 out of 5 stars Bring Back the Series!.......2006-12-04

I haven't actually watched these movies since they were on t.v., but I remember enough to wonder two things.

1. Why didn't they bring out all three movies in one boxset? (There was 'Death of the Incredible Hulk' as well) and

2. Where's the original series?

I mean, I *love* the Incredible Hulk. Bill Bixby does a fabulous job as the tortured David Banner. Everytime I watch the scene where Elana caresses the Hulk's cheek and says, "My poor David. I have loved you for so very long..." it brings tears to my eyes. Lou Ferrigno is the exception to the rule that musclemen can't act.

I've only got the pilot on DVD and I want more. Bring back the series! Bring back the haunting title music that almost makes your cry in of itself, and the angst and drama and action.

Not to mention, I was a kid in the eighties and I have a fondness for those wonderful eighties t.v. shows. I own Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider, The A-Team and Magnum P.I. I would buy Incredible Hulk in a flash if they came out. Its one of the better shows to come out of the eighties.

Come on, release it on DVD!!

Bill Bixby & Lou Ferrigno's hit TV series set a milestone for comic book characters. Before that, arguably the only superhero who had a hit was Batman & Superman in the movies. TV movies and TV shows of everyone from Spiderman to Captain America to Dr. Strange had all either failed outright or fizzled quickly. With Kenneth Johnson's drama of the Hulk, the creator turned Stan Lee's green pulp hero into something even grandmothers could love - and mine LOVED the Hulk TV series.

Purists might object to the way the two guest star superheroes are treated and portrayed here. I have no problems with either. Both Eric Kramer (Thor) and Rex Smith (Daredevil) manage their respective roles nicely and have pure fun all the while - especially Kramer who turned an almost stiff, stodgy comic book Thor into a CA beefcake surfer dude with a love of mead and bar brawls. Rex Smith turns in a three dimensional performance and honestly I like his portrayal of Daredevil much more than Ben Affleck's big screen turn. Bill Bixby realizes his tortured Jeckyl & Hyde David Banner character as poignantly as he did in the TV series and the production values for both flicks are top notch all around.

Comic fans must make concessions when their beloved heroes play up on the big or small screen. When film director Bryan Singer toned down the X-Men's costumes for the theatrical film, many a true believer cried. However when they saw the film, Singer was off the hook. These TV movies are NOT the comics we grew up on and so much the better because they've become unique interpretations of them for us to enjoy alongside the classic comics, cartoons or the video games which will be created for generations to come.

Anchor Bay has outdone themselves with excellent extras, packaging that evokes a comic book and even a booklet that at first glance makes you believe you're holding a collectible comic. Fantastic price & fantastic set - thanks Anchor Bay!

1 out of 5 stars Wrong Interpretations Of Legendary Marvel Superheroes!!!!.......2006-03-20

I have seen both films back in '88 on NBC and it was horrendus! whoever was the screenwriter must not read the history of Thor and Daredevil. First, Thor's costume was wrong and his character was putrid! and second, Daredevil's costume is red, NOT black(Ben Affleck did a more presentable version of Daredevil)! and the TV version of the Kingpin was a comic fan's nightmare! So my advice, DON'T buy this DVD, Instead, buy the 2003 Hulk movie on DVD, that will be worth your money!

5 out of 5 stars The Incredible Hulk Returns. The Trial of The Incredible Hulk........2005-12-06

HI EVERYBODY. YOU KNOW, IT IS TOTALY AMAZING THAT A REVIEWER WOULD EVEN THINK THAT THE INCREDIBLE HULK, THE ORIGINAL TV SERIES SHOULD HAVE BEEN WHAT THESE 2 MOVIES SHOULD HAVE BEEN. I WILL SAY THIS. IF KENNETH JOHNSON WOULD HAVE WENT WITH THE COMIC BOOK VERSION AND NOT AS WE KNOW THE SERIES NOW, 2 THINGS WOULD HAVE HAPPEND. BILL BIXBY WOULD HAVE TURNED DOWN THE HULK SERIES. AND OR KEN JOHNSON THE SERIES CREATOR WOULD HAVE ALSO TURNED IT DOWN. THUS... THERE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN NO DR. DAVID BANNER, NO HULK NO TV SERIES. AND BILL BIXBY WOULD HAVE SAID NO ANYWAY. AT LEAST SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW, BIXBY WAS LEARY ABOUT EVEN DOING THE PILOT. BUT HIS FORMER MANAGER PAUL BRADEN SAID READ IT JUST READ IT. AND THE REST IS OFF COURSE HISTORY. AND TO THINK THAT THIS REVIEWER WOULD EVEN SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS VERY NAIVE. AND BILL BIX BIXBY WOULD NOT HAVE DONE THE HULK IN THE STYLE OF THE COMIC ANYWAY. EVEN RIGHT FROM THE START HE WAS ASURED THAT WHEN HE ACCEPTED THE LEADING ROLL AS OUR HERO. DR. DAVID BANNER, HE TOLD KENNETH JOHNSON CALLING HIM THE NEXT DAY AFTER READING THE HULK PILOT SCRIPT AND SAID. ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO DO THIS. ARE YOU REALLY GOING KEEP THIS PSYCOLOGICAL AND POINEANT. REALLY... BIXBY DID NOT WANT TO DO THE INCREDIBLE HULK AT ALL. HE SAID I DON'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN ANYTHING CALLED THE INCREDIBLE HULK PLEASE.MILLIONS OF FANS SHOULD BE VERU SURPRISED THAT THE HULK WAS EVEN DONE TO BEGIN WITH. AND I THINK IT WAS BILL BIXBY'S GOOD KIND NATURE THAT AND ALSO AFTER READING THE HULK PILOT SCRIPT THAT WON THE CRITICS CBS AND US MILLIONS OF FANS OF THIS GREAT TV SERIES. WE ALL WILL NEVER FORGET IT. AS FOR THE FIRST 2 HULK MOVIES. I LOVE THEM ALL OVER THE PLACE. PERSONALY IN MY OPINION, I THINK BILL BIXBY AND LOU FERRIGNO WE'RE EXPERIMENTING WHEN THEY BOTH WE'RE FILMING THEM. I THINK THEY HAVE SOME VERY HUMORUS MOMENTS. IN GENERAL. i LOVE THE SERIES AND THE 2 HULK MOVIES. THE INCREDIBLE HULK RETURNS. AND THE TRIAL OF THE INCREDIBLE HULK.

Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno, stars of the late '70s, live-action television series The Incredible Hulk, cap a run of sporadic TV movies based on the old show with Death of the Incredible Hulk. The gloomy title says it all. Bixby's Dr. David Banner, spiritually exhausted after years of rage-induced transformations into a snarling, green monster, takes a last stab at finding a cure by posing as a retarded janitor in a government-funded research laboratory. His secret collaboration with a scientist (Philip Sterling) on "killing" the Hulk's genetic viability goes awry when a gorgeous foreign spy (Barbara Tarbuck) disrupts a crucial procedure and invites the wrath of brutal terrorists, the federal government, and, yes, the big man (Ferrigno) himself. With death chains rattling in the background, various ironies in the story become poignant: After years of isolation, Banner finds friendship and love just in time to risk it all for a lasting peace. --Tom Keogh

3 out of 5 stars It's not called the Death of, for no reason!.......2007-07-18

Now, I thought that David Banner was going to cure himself of this metamorphosis. That is what I thought the title of the movie means. Ridding himself of the creature has always been his goal. That was what he had in mind in the movie but the experiment backfired. Overall, the film was good. There are a few surprises. There are some sad moments so be sure to prepare for some drama.

5 out of 5 stars Hulk!!.......2007-06-12

Absolutely awesome! I highly reccomend this to all Hulk enthusiasts. The Hulk lives on forever!

5 out of 5 stars The Big Guy.......2006-11-10

What can i say The Incredible Hulk one of the best all time Tv series
that makes the movies a must have.

2 out of 5 stars Not an Incredible finale.......2006-08-05

This made for T.V movie may pass an hour and a half if you have time to kill but other wise I wouldnt recomend seeking this title out on purpose. The whole thing is stale and cheesey but has a flow to it that doesnt bore you to tears, but it doesnt leave you feeling satasfied either.

12 years after the series Bana is working in a lab under a different name and he keeps breaking into the place at night to alter some other sceintists work, when the other guy busts him Bana tells him who he is and then they work together to find a cure but run into a bit of trouble along the way.

So much of the things that happen in this movie shouldve hit the cutting room floor, they where not needed and had nothing to do with what was needed to tell the plot. Nothign is beleivable, tho a series about a Dr Jeckyl & Mr Hide charactor may not be realistic either, but in this film i had a tough time suspending disbeleif and getting into Bana having a newly found girlfriend and the love scenes where just blurghh, things dont make sense like talkign about how someone is family after knowing them for 5 mins or someone put into a coma and having Bana sneak in to bring him out of it for absolutly no reason that is needed to tell this story that has a finale that doesnt require him what-so-ever.

Then the finale doesnt pay off either, infact, I think it was a stupid idea to call this the DEATH of the Hulk when all along you're waiting to see how they put an end to the Hulk... and the way its done left me with a raised eyebrow as they play some sad music like youre meant to shed a tear, but it doesnt work after such a lame effort to build up to something that shouldve gone off like a rocket but instead farted and hissed and conked out just leaving a stink behind.

4 out of 5 stars Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno do their final tag-team effort with the Hulk.......2006-05-07

"The Incredible Hulk" ran on CBS from 1978 to 1982, starring Bill Bixby as Dr. David Bruce Banner and body builder Lou Ferrigno as his giant green alter ego. The television series kept Banner on the run, while reporter Jack McGee (Jack Colvin) dogged his heels. Basically it was a set up similar to "The Fugitive," except every week at some point Banner would have to become the Hulk. The key line was so obvious they worked it into the opening credits when Banner warned the reporter: "Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry." Fans certainly did, even if they never read the Marvel comic books about ol' greenskin. When the television series went off the air NBC aired an animated version of "The Incredible Hulk" as part of its Saturday morning lineup that run from September 1982 to September 1985.

In 1988, Bixby, Ferrigno and Colvin returned for the first in a series of television movies, "The Incredible Hulk Returns." This was followed the next year by "The Trial of the Incredible Hulk," which ditched the reporter character and replaced him with another Marvel superhero, Daredevil (a.k.a. Matt Murdock). Then in 1989 we have what proved to be the last television movie of the Hulk, which makes sense when you look at the title of the film (there were rumors of a sequel, but Bixby's death in 1993 made that impossible). Bixby directed this television movie, so you have to think this is how he wanted to the series to end.

People think Banner is dead, so he is laying low, calling himself David Bellamy and working as a janitor at a high security research facility. David seems to be a bit slow, always forgetting his thermos and leaving by the wrong exit, but he has been there for several months and the guards are used to his slow ways. Of course this is just a pretense so that when everybody goes home he can sneak into the genetics lab. Ostensibly he is looking for a way to reverse what has happened to him and get rid of the Hulk, but he is also helping Dr. Ronald Pratt (Philip Sterling) with his research by correcting his mistakes. Pratt is trying to figure out who is helping him along and is surprised when he discovers it is the janitor. But he understands perfectly when he learns that David is the famous David Banner and agrees to help.

Meanwhile, there are evil foreigners who want to get their hands on Pratt's research and use it to create an army of perfect soldiers. Kasha (Andreas Katsulas, appearing without the massive makeup we remember from "Babylon 5") has coerced the beautiful Jasmin (Elizabeth Gracen), mistress of disguise, to break into the lab and steal Pratt's secrets. Even worse, Jasmin's sister, Bella (Anna Katarina), would not mind seeing her dead. Jasmin gets into Pratt's laboratory in the middle of an experiment with Banner, which means, of course, that the Hulk is going to appear. Now all the pieces are in play.

What is somewhat surprising is that the script by Gerald Di Pego, who also did "The Trial of the Incredible Hulk," turns the last half of the movie into more of a romance. Fate has thrown David and Jasmin (pronounced "Yasmin" and not "Jasmine") together, and they fall for each other. In terms of this plotline that seems a bit of a stretch, but then technically the first Hulk movie (i.e, it was released on video as one) was the two-part television episode with Mariette Hartley as Dr. Caroline Fields, where she dies and we all cry. Clearly Bixby is interested in provoking that sort of response for the end of this one.

There is certainly an element of pathos to the finale of this one, but the big moment is not really set up that well. I had trouble accepting the relationship between Jasmin and David, so I had to play catch up. But then I felt the same way about the big scene for the Hulk at the end as well, finding it fell short of the big finish as well. Consequently, "The Death of the Hulk" has a bittersweet ending because they should have been able to come up with a better way of pulling this off. I round up on this one only because the ending has the implicit Bixby stamp of approval and because the first half was pretty solid.

Kenneth Johnson has Reporter on http://www.kennethjohnson.us that if Season One sells well. And there is no doubt of that happening. That Universal Home Video will Release the other 4 Seasons on DVD as well. As soon as it comes available for Pre-Order. Let's start pre-ordering it.

5 out of 5 stars The Incredible Hulk "Season One" coming July 18, 2006 (PERIODICALLY UPDATED).......2006-03-14

***04/15/06***
DVD cover art has now been released. On the front cover is the Hulk with an angry look on his face. I was hoping for Bill Bixby to be on the cover as well, but Ferrigno makes it happen.


***04/14/06***
UNIVERSAL MAKES IT OFFICIAL!

From tvshowsondvd: "Expect a 4-DVD set with each disc being single-sided (THANK THE LORD...and Universal!). Running time is 11 hours 33 minutes. Video is in the original full frame 1.33:1, and audio is in the original English Mono. English subtitles are also provided. We don't have the cover art yet, but we do know that the packaging is in the slim snap-cases with an outer slip cover."

"the set will contain both pilot telefilms, the 10 regular weekly episodes from the short first season, and a bonus episode from Season 2 ("Stop The Presses").

Sounds like Universal is trying to do the fans justice. (Here's hoping for a clean print of the episodes.)


***04/03/06***
Kenneth Johnson tells that the commentary on the pilot episode will be the commentary from 2003's "The Incredible Hulk - Original Television Premiere". The interview with Lou Ferrigno appears to be the same also. Yet there is still hope that new extras will appear on the release.


***03/31/06***
"The box will include the movie pilot with a full length commentary by Kenny [Kenneth Johnson] and an interview with Lou [Ferrigno]".

NOTE: It is not clear if this will be the same commentary track previously recorded on "The Incredible Hulk - Original Television Premiere" DVD released in June 2003.


***03/13/06***
According to Hulk TV series creator Kenneth Johnson's website, Big Green finally gets his First Season bow on DVD this July.

Maybe "Universal Home Video" has finally heard the cries of the people, considering the only thing we've had to watch of the Bixby/Ferrigno combination is the series "Pilot" and 2nd season opener "Married", 3 Made for TV Movies, and this bittersweet release of "The Incredible Hulk - The Television Series Ultimate Collection".

Universal...please don't "drop the ball" on this one. Give the fans more than just a bare bones release...Get Johnson and Ferrigno to do a few commentary tracks on "key" episodes...find some archival interviews/commentaries/footage with the late Bill Bixby and Jack Colvin (who passed away last year). Restore and Remaster every episode both in the visual and audio realms.

We know you can do this Universal, you know you can do this. To paraphrase Dr. David Banner in the pilot episode..."Universal, don't make us angry, you wouldn't like us when we're angry".

***Fans, buy Season 1 to ensure we get the remaining four***

All kidding aside...Thank you Universal for finally releasing this fantastic TV series to DVD.

3 out of 5 stars Fun collection with no extras...and overpriced........2006-02-11

Growing up reading the Hulk comics and watching the TV series, I became a pretty devoted fan. Something about how a guy who could turn into a giant when someone pissed him off seemed pretty cool to me:) At the same time, the live-action series brought some humanity to the comic book character. Imagine how disappointing it was for fans to see the characters from this very underrated dramatic series turn into a multi-million dollar mess in movie theaters...

But I digress...

This 6 disc collection of fan-picked favorites from the TV series is quite nostalgic. A few of the two-part episodes are included as well. My favorite has to be "Prometheus", where Banner/Bixby gets stuck between his human and Hulk-self.

For the current price (brand new), however, it seems like kind of a jip. There are only 3 shows (at most) to each disc - Keep in mind that without the commercials, each episode is only about 45 minutes. Also, no extra features to speak of...unless you count the movie trailers on disc one. I can't name the other episodes I would have wanted to see included in this collection...but I know there are several good ones missing.

Still, it's a collection worth appreciating. Bill Bixby was truly a great actor, and played his part in this series with an amazing range of skill. Even without dialog, Lou Ferrigno managed to win cheers and empathy for his work as the Hulk.

I know the dated special effects and styles may seem a little silly at this point...but the story lines and main characters in this series have held up quite well.

Enjoy!

To paraphrase the Green Goliath himself, Buena Vista's Incredible Hulk DVD is a smash, providing 83 minutes of exciting sci-fi with enough action to satisfy Hulk novices, and scripting that hews to its Marvel Comics origin to please longtime devotees. The DVD compiles the first four episodes of the 1996-97 animated series, which outline the Hulk's origins, as well as the struggles of his human alter ego, Bruce Banner, to rid himself of the creature. The episodes also make fine use of Marvel's rosters of heroes and villains; in the two-part "Return of the Beast," the Hulk tangles with the Leader, the Gargoyle, and the hideous Abomination, while in "Raw Power," he's up against the malevolent ZZZAX; and in "Helping Hand, Iron Fist," he goes mano-a-mano with Iron Man and War Machine. Terrific performances (TV Hulk Lou Ferrigno provides the creature's voice) and extensive extras make this DVD a must-have for comic and cartoon aficionados. --Paul Gaita

    Amazon.com

    Universal's Incredible Hulk DVD will satisfy fans of the CBS television series by offering the two-hour 1978 pilot, as well as the feature-length second-season opener, "Married," and a commentary track by series creator Kenneth Johnson. In bringing the Hulk to TV, Johnson decided to focus on its human alter ego, scientist Bruce Banner (here renamed David), rather than its rampages. In the pilot, Banner (Bill Bixby) is haunted by the death of his wife and unleashes his untapped rage in the form of a monstrous creature (Lou Ferrigno) after experimenting with radiation. And in "Married," Banner falls for a researcher (Mariette Hartley in an Emmy-winning performance) who attempts to cure his "hulk-outs." Johnson's solid scripting and direction and fine performances from the leads made the series a critical and audience favorite during its network run, and the DVD--deceptive cover art aside (which features images from the 2003 Hulk theatrical feature)--should again please longtime fans and novice viewers alike. --Paul Gaita

    4 out of 5 stars THE INCREDIBLE HULK: Incredibly good 70'S TV!.......2007-04-21

    I was 7-years-old when THE INCREDIBLE HULK first aired on television back in '78. It was one of my favorite tv shows next to others like THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN. Feeling nostalgic not having seen the show in nearly 30 years, I recently rented the original pilot episode and, much to my surprise and pleasure, it was better than I remembered. I was especially shocked at how serious the show took itself. Sure, some of the HULK's antics may lean a little towards the campy side, but overall, the television show was clearly aimed towards an adult audience. The pilot episode was excellent. Great story, great acting and great 1978 made-for-television special effects. Bill Bixby does a bang-up job with the David Banner character and Ferrigno's portrayal of the Hulk is very good. Watching this fun piece of childhood memories has now persuaded me to add season 1 of THE INCREDIBLE HULK to my dvd collection.

    4 out of 5 stars Very 70's production is this Hulk show.......2005-12-05

    I watched the pilot ep recently for the first time in over 22 years! The computers Dr.'s Banner and Marx use are very crude and dated looking. The docs also use lingo about mitochondria when, back then, almost nobody in America knew what that was. Today in this society of dna fingerprinting and the genetic search for our origins mitochondria is almost a regular part of the american vocabulary. The clothes the people wear in this film also scream 70's. Plaid pants and leisure suits!

    On other aspects the commentary by producer Kenneth Johnson is very informative. I like this DVD a lot.

    4 out of 5 stars Inside the mind of David Banner.......2005-10-19

    This is what The Hulk was all about. The subject matter of these two movies present the imagery that you see when David Banner "flashes back" to his past throughout the series. The Pilot episode obviously being the beginning and the "Married" episode where Banner is married a second time and loses his wife once again.
    Both movies follow creative and interesting storylines. I found them to be, by far, the most well-produced Hulk movies. If you were a fan of the series, then you will want to see these movies.
    The DVD contains some extras. Nothing too special. An intro by Lou Ferrigno and a preview of the 2003 Hulk movie.

    5 out of 5 stars THE INCREDIBLE HULK: RELIVING MY MEMORIES........2005-10-15

    THE INCREDIBLE HULK WAS THE MOST POPULAR TV SERIES EVER IN CBS TV HISTORY. FOR ANYONE TO EVER SAY THIS SHOW WAS NOT POPULAR IS IS AN INSULT TO FANS AND TO IT'S STARS. AS FAR AS A DVD RELEASE OF THE REST OF THE INCREDIBLE HULK, I THINK IT WILL EVENTUALY WILL HAPPEN. THIS WAS AND STILL IS THE GREATEST TV SERIES EVER TO COME OUT OF A SILLY GEEKY COMIC BOOK AND INTO THE LIFE OF 10 YEAR OLD KID AND ON MY NUMBER 1 SHOW EVER WAS AND STILL IS TO THIS DAY A GREAT THRILL. DON'T MAKE ME ANGRY... YOU WOULDN'T LIKE ME WHEN I'M ANGRY. QUAOT FROM THE INCREDIBLE HULK TV SERIES MOVIE PILOT. NOV:4TH 1977 AT 9:00PM FRIDAY NIGHT. 1977-1978-1982. LONG LIVE THE INCREDIBLE HULK AND BILL BIXBY, LOU FERRIGNO, AND JACK COLVIN

    4 out of 5 stars Great memories.......2005-09-12

    I enjoyed the pilot, and the series as a kid. I still enjoyed it. I don't ever remember seeing the "Married" episode when I was younger, but it was great seeing it now - it epitomised what the hulk meant to me as a kid - a kind hearted man caught in a nightmare that he could not control.

    To paraphrase the Green Goliath himself, Buena Vista's Incredible Hulk DVD is a smash, providing 83 minutes of exciting sci-fi with enough action to satisfy Hulk novices, and scripting that hews to its Marvel Comics origin to please longtime devotees. The DVD compiles the first four episodes of the 1996-97 animated series, which outline the Hulk's origins, as well as the struggles of his human alter ego, Bruce Banner, to rid himself of the creature. The episodes also make fine use of Marvel's rosters of heroes and villains; in the two-part "Return of the Beast," the Hulk tangles with the Leader, the Gargoyle, and the hideous Abomination, while in "Raw Power," he's up against the malevolent ZZZAX; and in "Helping Hand, Iron Fist," he goes mano-a-mano with Iron Man and War Machine. Terrific performances (TV Hulk Lou Ferrigno provides the creature's voice) and extensive extras make this DVD a must-have for comic and cartoon aficionados. --Paul Gaita
