    I was at the Hollywood Christmas Parade in 1983. In those days, towards the end of the parade line, you could walk up to your favorite movie star and shake their hand. That night i shook hands with Lou
    Ferigno, William Shatner, and Ted McGinley. It was an awesome night.

    While these may draw laughter today, for those of us who followed the xby/Ferrigno Hulk,
    they were a fan's delight in those days. Rex Smith did a fine Daredevil, and his costume was a little closer to the original 1960's version by a bit. Thought Eric Kramer's Thor was a blast as well; it's a crime the "suits" thought there was only room for one superhero on TV then. "Though I enjoyed John Wesley Shipp's "Flash" a great deal, too. Had She-Hulk shown up, I would've preferred Gabrielle Reese -- green! -- by far. Bittersweet thinking how the world's changed in so many other ways, and of what could have been...

The television world definition of a spin off is taking a character (or more) from a regular series and giving them their own series. It (a spin off) is NOT AND NEVER WAS a continuous of the original regular series which is what these 3 films were.

    Strange how the MCU Thor seemed based on this one.

    I'd love to see them make an "Immortal HULK" mini series, starring Lou Ferrigno.
    The show could focus on the *body horror* and less on the hulk requiring a uber-jacked look.
    They could say that, without banner, the hulk has an altered look BUT is still just as much a threat.

    Wait, what about the quasi-Iron Fist episode season 2, episode 17 'The Disciple," during the series' original run with Rick Springfield, or season 2 episode 6, "Another Path," a rough version of Dare Devil's mentor "Stick" or season 2 episode 19 "Kindred Spirits" a quasi-Sasquach/Wendigo being similar to the character(s) in Alpha Flight comics or season 3 episode 18 "The Psychic" introduces mutants to the small screen or the backdoor quasi-SHIELD episode season 4 episode 1 and 2 "Prometheus" or the 1st iteration of Savage Hulk in season 4 episode 4 "Dark Side" and season 4 episode 5 "Deep Shock" we see aspects of the Hulk's precognitive abilities, separate from his comic book 'talents.'
    Then there is the two-parter "The First" in season 4, episodes 12 and 13. A reimagined version of Frankenstein monster and the comic character "The Abomination."
    Prometheus and The First are my favorite Sci-Fi episodes, and one more I didn't mention before. It's a two-part episode that is very tragic and brings Dr. Banner's sorrow to bear. Season 1 episodes "The Bride" and "Bride of the Incredible Hulk." The performance from the guest star Mariette Heartly was so good that she was nominated for and won an Emmy for "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama!" All but unheard of in a Sci-Fi show or movie, even some forty years later.
    If you don't tear up after watching it, you ain't human.

      Speaking of multiverses, WHY THE HECK hasn't Nicholas Hammond been introduced into the multiverse? He's still alive and kicking and was the first live-action Spider-Man! Not to mention, the show had a funk/jazzy theme song (that, for some reason, can't be downloaded anywhere). I'm just saying.

    I had no idea about any of these either. I knew of the Incredible Hulk 70's series but didn't know about the 80's movies and attempt at spin-off's. At least they tried, because had they not, then we might not have seen the amazing Marvel movies that came out several years later.

    I have read that bill bixby and Nicholas Hammond wanted to do a crossover feature featuring The incredible Hulk and The amazing Spider-man
    Can you see into this and do some more vids.
    Thanks for a great documentary

    He fought the old hulk once in a double episode. Also, they didn't have the budget or the special effects to have hulk fight other super heros as you suggest.

      Your right the character is so much more diverse and complex today. In the day the entire character was up to Lou to sell. HULK concept was mean and green and good flexing without shitting him self. The to date hulk is something I choose not to consider and maybe it will go away. Lou and Arnold were such competitors I always thout it be great to see them go at it the Marvel world.

    Well for the death of the Hulk, Banner did say the damage had to be catastrophic. 1st being onboard a plane that explodes, then falling a great distance to the ground before your body can recover will do that.

    How much do you want to bet that the 1989 Daredevil black suit was inspired by the 89 black Batman suit.

    This series was pretty good for the time!
    Although granted I’m assuming they didn’t have that big a budget due to not having the Hulk fight well known Hulk villains.
