Completely agree. That build up is incredibly tense! Shame they don’t make movies like this anymore. They just cut to the chase. O time for banner to turn, introduce shaky cam and generic music🙄
True but the one where he has the nightmare about his wife dying in the season 2 opener and he's chasing the bus as it's taking her away equals it l reckon.
I saw this on television with my dad the night it premiered in 1978. It scared 6-year-old me witless but my dad enjoyed it. Two years later my dad and I traveled overseas for my throat operation and we saw it at the cinema when they decided to show the full 2-hour movie there as a treat. By then I had become a big fan of the show, which would end two years later. Forget the modern versions, THIS Hulk will always be the best. The late Bill Bixby was the most perfect 100% casting as Dr. David Banner and Lou Ferrigno - who now appears as nondescript characters in the new Hulk films - was the perfect Hulk. Now I have the entire series on DVD.
I would love to have the entire series on DVD and you are so right it was a great series. I watched it will my 3 year old daughter who didn't have a dad so whenever David became the Hulk she would hide behind the sofa but still peeping at him and her cheeks all red and point at him and say a funny word she made up for the word chest and giggle she was not used to seeing bare chested men:) And when the end came with the music it would make her cry because she thought it was so sad David walking there on his own. She loved him. When she was about 17 we went to see him in Sweden at a convention and she got his autograf (Lou's) but she didn't have the nerve to say anything to her all time hero. Sadly she lost the autographed picture at a move. Our favorite was Return of the Hulk as Thor was wonderful too and we watched the series for years. It's funny the warm happy feeling we get from certain tv memories:) cheers from Denmark!
I absolutely agree. Bixby/Ferrigno were better than the computer generated hulks. BUT, when they released this series on DvD, they should have remastered the Hulk Outs/ Transformations with modern computer generated effects.
@@MissWitchiepoo Wow .. Amazing story and thank You so much for sharing .. The Hulk series was my childhood as well and yes I cried so many times in the end when David Banner went back on the road all alone for an ever ending journey.. and part of my heart stayed in Vaerlose, Danmark where I, for the first time ever, fell in love with a girl .. Kisses to you and your daughter xxxxxxxx
Me and my brothers saw the first season in black and white. Pretty scary! But the next season we got colour TV, and we couldn't stop laughing: He's getting GREEN!!!!! It was not scary anymore.
I agree and I thought lou was a great hulk and to be honest its going to sound silly but when I was a young cub watching this the hulk kinda of scared me when the transformation was occurring and we see him rage out. All these years later when watching these clips I keep thinking I was such a pussy but if a 6.4 guy built like lou and looked the way he looked was towering over you maybe its not that far fetched.
This is still the best interpretation of the Incredible Hulk. The way David storms out of the laboratory after he believes the gamma dosage was a failure, was only the beginning for the rage to build within himself. Just brilliantly paced, atmospheric and suspenseful. The pilot feels less like a superhero movie and more like tragic gothic horror film! Just genius.
I’ve always been a fan of Bill Bixby and he fitted this part SUPERBLY!!,he was a natural with that famous eyes closed one second and wide open green the next!,the photographic effects as Lou Ferrignos physique took over as the Hulk with the shirt ripping and facial expressions changing were fantastic for its time this was PHENOMENAL!,just remember though”Mr McGee,don’t make me angry,you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry”,cheers fellow fans😃👍.
This was by far the best hulkout of the series. To a boy like I was, this was really scary but so cool at the same time! Bill Bixby is still the best Dr. Banner of any of the series or movies!
This is by FAR the best hulk out ever in any medium imo. And it captures the HORROR feeling. It's meant to be like Dr Jekyl/Werewolf/Frankenstein mixed
The opening compilation sequence of david and his wife to this pilot episode is one of the best pieces of storytelling.. sets everything up perfectly and the score is beautiful!!
Still the best for getting a great team together in order to bring an Iconic version of The Hulk to the world. The movies have failed to learn the simple things that made this Hulk so special for a Generation.
The first time I saw the close-up of the jacket rip, I though "what?" I had no idea what I was looking at. It was just a distinctive moment in a famous scene from childhood TV.
Lou will always be the hulk and he was perfect for the role! The main ingredient for this series success was Bill Bixby, he made it a show for all not just kids! Overall the shows were pretty good with some outstanding episodes but the pilot is awesome really really good even today I think it’s fab just a real quality film
@@jazmorrison9030 It never scared me. The witch in Wizard Of Oz is scarier. Even today the sight of her gives me the creeps. The actor was ugly in real life... that's why she was scary with all the make-up on.
When I saw this scene it made me jump in fright when it was darkness and then thunder followed by lightning strikes and then the hulk appeared, brilliant series’s. loved watching this growing up.
selon moi, la meilleure de toute les scènes de métamorphoses de la série . Et sans effets spéciaux numériques !! The best transformation ever !! (and without numeric effects !!)
Superb series and portrayal of both characters by the two actors. The transformation was on point! You know banner will wake up the day after and think ‘oh ffs, what a proper melon I am’ when he realises he’s (the Hulk) trashed his own car 😂😂 Classic morning after hangover regret.
Bill Bixby should have called the American equivalent of the rac in America and them fix the flat tyre rather than lose his rag with the poor Celica it sure took a beating ...... Indeed poor Toyota
This is by far the longest hulk mode in the series, only after dawn he reform.back to david , and getting dehidrated, so much energy to use, 2 shots in his arm by long rifle(poor innocent hunter) is also healed just leaving a scratch, so much for healing factor

what makes it more impressive is there was something wrong with the equipment that rolls the car so Lou just rolls the car all by himself.. yeah that's him actually lifting the car like its nothing
3:52 Pretty sure the car would fall off the jack long before the wheel huts sheared. Great sequence though, still gives me the shivers forty years after I first saw it!
I would have thought the script writer would have included someone coming down the road in a car watching it all then as the hulk turned around and looked at them after he finished they would double back round and scarper haha. Great programme though watched it when it first came out and my fave along with the six million dollar man.
5:20 you see a similar scene to this in the 2008 Incredible Hulk after he resuces betty. (and later when the Hulk shelters Betty and roars at the lightening felt abit similar to this inital change scene) Also think maybe some of the 70s 'Rampaging Hulk' artwork covers were inspired by this sequence with the lightening etc (some of which im pretty sure were inspiration for various scnes in the 2008 Hulk film)
Im not sure if this is true or not, but i read somewhere that the dude playing the hulk, Lou Ferrigno, actually flipped that car by himself, because the hydraulic lift was too obvious in the shot.
The correct technique to have used was to pull up anti clockwise rather than trying to push down on the lug wrench. David actually tries to do this after the hulk out trigger, but by then it was too late, Hulk was coming.
Yo tenía 6 años cuando la miré por primera vez en 1977.. Quedé con la boca abierta y desde ahí me gustó APLSTAR... HULK siempre es y será mí favorito.. Con todo respeto para los demás super héroes...

I was just talking to my brother about this exact episode and how I seriously shot myself when the hill changed..
No one will ever portray Banner and The Hulk like Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno.
Very treu
Just like no one will ever portray Clark Kent and Superman like Dean Cain.
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
I agree with you 1000%

Bill Bixby is what made this series great and why the best episodes still stand up today.

Great actor
He should be on the Hollywood walk of fame this guy
Lou gave a great performance as the Hulk, in particular when he was child like.
The scene still works today. I reckon it's one of the best television scenes ever made.
This is the best hulk out of all time in any medium
@@alexojideagu 👍👍👍👍
best when david gets stuck haf way and hulk cant change back properly
agree
Damn straight! This was real television
The Metamorphosis looks and feels so real (long before CGI). You can feel the rising power and strength in the transformation as well.
Honestly much better than the 2003 one.
That one felt too unrealistic, while this one feels ferocious, akin to a bear breaking loose.
This is by FAR the best hulk out ever. And it captures the HORROR feeling. It's meant to be like Dr Jekyl/Werewolf/Frankenstein mixed
bill Bixby should have a Hollywood walk of fame what an actor he was literally one of a kind
This terrified me as a child and even now many years on it still scares me. The atmosphere, the music, the acting, everything is perfect
🤣 pmsl
Best Incredible Hulk episode EVER!
They don't make TV series like this anymore. The 70s and 80s were awesome for this.
This is the Best Hulk* Bill Bixby+ Lou Ferrigno my TV Series of the 80Together with Knight Rider ! I.m a Marvel Fan from this Series - Today
Even though this is a pilot from 1978, it still creeps me out and give me the chills, also the script is very well made even for its time
forget the movies this is the scariest hulk
And this is the best version of Dr David Banner+Hulk.
Is that a joke? This hulk just pushes things and breaks a few walls, the other hulks could rip you into pieces without any effort
Pamela Symonds
This one has the most realistic feel.
I love very much background music , music have to much feeling .
@@pamelasymonds2147 this hulk flips cars over without too much strain, bends steel and breaks through brick walls like cardboard
The best pilot i ever see in my life...I am 45 years old today
..but so original
Iconic and terrifying moment from the series. Lou Ferrigno indicated that he raised the car himself, because it was four o'clock and it was very cold.
This is still the best interpretation of the Incredible Hulk.

Mr McGee don't make me angry you wouldn't like me when I'm angry ....... Grrr Bixby hulks out big-time 👍😁
I'm sure we have all got angry with the car like the hulk did and beat the car to bits n worse lol
I love how he tries to unscrew the lug nut as he's changing, it's almost like he's completely unaware of what's happening
Aaron yeah ive always liked that bit he is changing but still tries to sort the tire hahahaha lol
Aaron Kenyon that’s because he is unaware of what’s happening because he’s never changed before
He is unaware of what’s happening.
Lug nut must have been tight as fuck, even half transformed he couldnt budge it!
@@carlh429 😂😂😂 classic!
Not seen this scene in years, scared me to death as a kid!! Still one of the best pilot episodes ever!!
One of the best hulkout of the whole serie ever. bixby was good as displaying the inner turmoils of the transformations.
Luv, this transformation the way the muscles grow and rip the clothes and the buttons popping it feels more realistic so cool 😎
I like the way he walks off at the end, satisfied. Yup, that's the car problem solved.
👊👊🤣🤣👣
Best hulk out ever bill Bixby so deserves a hall of fame spot

Top serie with best actor and music
That unstoppable power, strength flowing through every vein and muscle.
All the modern CGI cannot compete with the sheer power of this scene..and it was only made in 1977!
@nicky You're right. CGI looks shit and only works well in sci-fi films.
@@WAZA___ Too much CGI these days. In the old days you got more story whereas nowadays it's all CGI but there's no real story going on.

That car will return as the main villian on the next Avengers movie...
AVENGERS "Toyota Celica Revenge"
I like it that the initial "Hulk-Out" is longer and more detailed. It adds something.
not gonna lie when i first saw this when i was younger i was scared shitless now it just amazing to see how well this show was made back in the days
Da-da-da-dah-daaaaaaah!
October 2020 ,and this scene was EPIC !!
Loved this movie, made a big impression on me aged about 9!
I remember watching this when I was like 5 about 10 years ago and getting very scared from the music in the scene, I don’t know why...
No one will ever hulk out better than this.
This was some scary shit back in the late 70's!

Jethro Peters the thunder, lightning and rain add the right touch.
I was 8 (1988) ‘mum why did he say ‘ terrific ‘ when it was raining and he looked angry’ …my first taste of sarcasm ,
Notice when banner inspects front wheel hubcaps missing then when returns back .....to change wheel as if by magic the hubcap is back on wheel lol 😁
4:27 Got to admit it. That is text book deadlift form. Got to hand it to Lou.
Ten-on-ten. Lovely stuff by Ferrigno.
selon moi, la meilleure de toute les scènes de métamorphoses de la série . Et sans effets spéciaux numériques !! The best transformation ever !! (and without numeric effects !!)
THE INCREDIBLE HULK IS BORN!!!
The incredible HULK in action for first time. Your origin.

Gets a puncture on the car no hubcap, goes to change the wheel just by magic the hubcap appears ahhhh the 70's lol
Valuable life lesson for children: If it doesn't work the first time, it is allowed to get furious and destroy everything.
Music was perfect with the scene
Bill Bixby should have called the American equivalent of the rac in America and them fix the flat tyre rather than lose his rag with the poor Celica it sure took a beating ...... Indeed poor Toyota
i saw this when i was about 5 or 6 and hid behind the sofa when he first hulks out
Always thought it was lucky only his shirts got torn, imagine having to walk home completely naked every time you got the slightest bit annoyed…
I love it ehen david banner being shirtless for the first time
I cannot tell you how much my siblings and I collectively shat our pants when David Banner's eyes turned white
It's a shame that no one has put his first transformation back to David after his first hulk out on RUclips when he sees his white eyes.
The most boss way a tire was ever changed.
I dont think they ever topped the pilot episode imo..has great atmosphere..
Great lighting and photography.
most people - “I’ll wait until the storm passes”
Banner - “I’ll change it now”
And then he calms down and has too walk everywhere
😂😂
😂😂😂
This is by far the longest hulk mode in the series, only after dawn he reform.back to david , and getting dehidrated, so much energy to use,
2 shots in his arm by long rifle(poor innocent hunter) is also healed just leaving a scratch, so much for healing factor
