The Incredible Hulk Premiere

4.6 out of 5 stars 58 customer reviews 






Discover the origin of "The Incredible Hulk" with the TV series pilot that helped to inspire the "Hulk" phenomenon. While conducting a research project about superhuman strength, Dr. David Banner bombards his own system with gamma radiation, unexpectedly transforming himself into the powerful beast, "The Incredible Hulk."


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

5.0 out of 5 starsthis is one incredibly well-acted DVD
Bydwayne gaitheron April 2, 2017
When I was about seven or eight years old and I really like the action scenes now that I am an adult I can appreciate for the well acting that Bill Bixby portrayed on this television show. You can actually feel the pain that he is going through after the death of his wife you can feel the hurt at the end of The Pallet movie when the lady that loves him confesses her love to him but only he doesn't remember because he is the Incredible Hulk at the time. A very emotional DVD the second episode is just as emotional as the first episode on this DVD. I do recommend this DVD it is an incredible watch.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Great Version of a Comic Classic
ByA customeron June 6, 2003
The show was very well done. The scientific reasoning and explanation is superior to shows made 20 years after this one. Bill Bixby brought a human touch to the show that may have fallen flat with any other actor. Lou *is* the Hulk. Period. Instead of being an unbelievable comic tale, it took on a realistic perspective that didn't insult the viewer, and of course, it had one of the great TV theme songs of all time. Who doesn't cry at the end of an episode?
The pilot tells a tale of a brilliant scientist tormented by his past, looking for an explanation for his moment of weakness when others like him found great strength. His research leads to him eventually looking for a cure to his original work.
The movie "Married" doesn't immediately follow the pilot, but it follows the show's theme of a man wandering the nation looking for a cure, and in the process helping others while staying one step ahead of the media and the authorities. In a sense, it was better than the "Fugitive."
I'd recommend this ove the new "blockbuster" coming out this summer. This story is about the human condition, and not just about a big green guy breaking things...
4.0 out of 5 starsGood Acting and Direction
ByRev. Moonshineon September 13, 2010
Unlike the modern Hulk movies, the director of the live-action television series didn't have high tech special effects at his disposal. This may have contributed to the fact that this series was about the characters interacting with one another instead of being about violence and special effects.

When I was a kid, I didn't enjoy this series much because I had to wait too long to see the Hulk in action. However, as an adult, I appreciate the fact that Bill Bixby was a great actor and the science fiction aspect of the story was ahead of its time. Your kids might not sit through this pilot, but the adults in the room will be entertained by the well-written script and superb acting and directing.
4.0 out of 5 starsGreat memories
ByCarolineon September 11, 2005
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.
4.0 out of 5 starsOriginal premiere of the Incredibel Hulk DVD
Bypondlily2010on January 10, 2012
I watched a lot of episodes of the Incredible Hulk. Although I might not care for a lot of them now, there were a lot of good episodes. Even in the last 10 years with the new releases of Hulk movies, they just aren't the same without Bill Bixby playing David Banner. I wouldn't even say this was the best episode, but because it was the original premiere and explained how the Hulk came to be, it will always be a classic and a must have for any Hulk fan.
5.0 out of 5 stars32 Years Old - Never Saw, or don't remember pilot
Byctownjakon June 29, 2003
Although I don't remember the pilot movie, I am a fan of the TV series and remember it well. The whole nice guy / gentle giant play was done impeccably here. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It is funny, because the story, the feel, the powerful emotional aspect is so well done that the limited effects did not phase me. I didn't expect anything more. A good story like this, except for clothing and cars, it just didn't seem disappointingly dated as I watched it. Did anyone perceive Bixby as slightly similar to William Shatner overacting? Just a tad. I highly recommend both old and new movies to every Hulk lover. The new one is phenomenal. Some rant that it takes too long to get going, and that it doesn't hold true to the TV series. Great movie done in a different style, along with phenomenal effects. Well, they both made this Hulk fan very happy.
