    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Richard Kiel was initially cast as the Hulk, but shortly after filming began, it became apparent to the producers that he wasn't "bulky" enough to play the role. There is, however, an intact but brief high-angle scene with Kiel as the Hulk (when he looks up at a tree).
    • Goofs
      The Hulk, in destroying David Banner's car, flings his fist through the windshield; it breaks into large shards, revealing it to be breakaway glass that actor Lou Ferrigno could smash without serious injury to himself. Automotive glass is required, by law, to be safety glass, and whenever it is actually broken, it would form a "spider-web" pattern. This is a revealing mistake that Kenneth Johnson himself pointed out in his commentary on the home DVD release.
    • Quotes

      Jack McGee: Forgive me, Doctor, but I am calling you a liar!

      Dr. David Banner: Mr. McGee!

      Dr. David Banner: [takes a deep breath, smiles]

      Dr. David Banner: Mr. McGee, don't make me angry.

      Dr. David Banner: [chuckles]

      Dr. David Banner: You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

    • Alternate versions
      Though originally shown as a two-hour TV-movie, it has been edited to be shown as two one-hour episodes for syndication. In order to make up for the additions of a recap of the first hour at the beginning of the second and a full second set of opening and closing titles, as well as for clearing more time for extra commercials, a significant amount of footage was excised, including all of Jack McGee's visit to Dr. Marks' home the morning after Banner's first "Hulk-out," during which he, unknown to either of them, glimpsed Banner over her shoulder.

    8/10
    Ang Lee pay attention
    Dr. David Banner still having recurring dreams of his wife's death via car accident eleven months later is studying the reserve of strength that the average human could conceivably be capable of. Fed up with hearing that people in other similar crash could save their loved ones while he, himself, could not, he chooses to use gamma radiation on himself. However he gets a larger dose then he thought that he was going to get and thus the incredible Hulk was born. This pilot for the subsequent TV series captures the sad melancholy feel that the series later would later do so well. It's everything that Ang Lee film SHOULD have been and more.

    My Grade: A-

    DVD Extras: Intro by Lou Ferrigno; Commentary with Director/Writer Ken Johnson; a featurette on the Ang Lee travesty; a preview of the Hulk game (the crappy one, not the glorious "Ultimate Destruction"); An except from the Hulk novelization; Trailers for "Fast & the Furious: Tricked out Edition", "Hulk", the "Monk" pilot, & "Taken"
