Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno, stars of the late '70s, live-action television series <I>The Incredible Hulk</I>, cap a run of sporadic TV movies based on the old show with <I>Death of the Incredible Hulk</I>. The gloomy title says it all. Bixby's Dr. David Banner, spiritually exhausted after years of rage-induced transformations into a snarling, green monster, takes a last stab at finding a cure by posing as a retarded janitor in a government-funded research laboratory. His secret collaboration with a scientist (Philip Sterling) on "killing" the Hulk's genetic viability goes awry when a gorgeous foreign spy (Barbara Tarbuck) disrupts a crucial procedure and invites the wrath of brutal terrorists, the federal government, and, yes, the big man (Ferrigno) himself. With death chains rattling in the background, various ironies in the story become poignant: After years of isolation, Banner finds friendship and love just in time to risk it all for a lasting peace. <I>--Tom Keogh</I>
Viewer Reviews
Bill Bixby died before they could do a resserection movie. Remember this movie was based on a comic book. In the world of comics, death is not always permanent. Marvel recently killed off Captain America in the comics. I don't read Captain America, but will bet money that he is alive and well or soon to be so. Even the Man of Steel was clobbered to death by a Hulk-like monster from Krypton and then came back after four other Supermen showed up claiming to be the real Man of Steel. And about the same time that Superman was being clobbered by Doomsday, Batman was being clobbered by another Hulk wannabe called Bain. He ended up clobbering Batman to the point that he crippled him, and was then defeated by another guy who was being trained by Bruce Wayne. This guy became the new Batman and was a rougher Batman than the original. Amazingly, Bruce Wayne is miraculosly healed and fights his sucessor for the role of Batman (which he wins back). So, getting back to the TV Hulk, this movie was not meant to be the end but ended up being the end. It is too bad. I have the first two seasons of the Hulk and am enjoying it more today than I did when it originally aired.
