The Incredible Hulk - The Complete
First Season
Editorial Review:
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!
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.
