I finally finished the 1977 series The Incredible Hulk, but I had completely forgotten that ten years later, the show was revived with a few TV movies to conclude the unfinished story. The first of those was The Incredible Hulk Returns, which features, I believe, the first live action appearance of Marvel’s Thor. Similar to the Disney film Thor Ragnarok, the Hulk and Thor fight each other at first, and then team up to take out the bad guys.
Lou Ferrigno, who plays the Hulk, is much larger, in this film, than he ever was in the series. I seem to remember reading, back then, that he had reached a massive 320 pounds for this show. Of course, this TV movie can’t hold a candle to a huge budget Disney film, but it is fun in its own way. Next up is The Trial of The Incredible Hulk.
