Amazing is the first word that comes to mind when thinking about this TV movie.
(POSSIBLE SPOILERS)
The Incredible Hulk:Death in the Family was the second TV movie about the Hulk. In the story, Dr. Banner is travelling across the United States when he stumbles upon an unscrupulous pair planning to poison a young lady (for reasons that are apparent when you watch the movie). Banner gets a job working on the grounds of the house where the lady lives and being a doctor he quickly realizes that something is not right. Of course, it isn't too long before the bad guys realize Banner is onto them and then the action starts...
The late great Bill Bixby continues his wonderful job as the truly sad Dr. Banner. Bixby had the rare talent of drawing the audience into his plight. It was hard not to cry during the Hulk show at times. And the stories were great. Just like the 1970's Spider-Man TV show, the Hulk didn't battle super-powered foes each week (TV wouldn't have had the budget anyway). Instead, we got to see human interest stories each week. And Banner was just as important a character as our green-skinned friend.
The action is exciting in this movie. If you watch the movie you will get to see the Hulk battle a grizzly bear, throw a snake into the air and get stuck in quicksand. It was exciting indeed.
The ending is sad as Banner wanders off to his unknown destination to find his destiny.
All in all, a great film. If you live in the United Kingdom like me, you can buy this movie on the same cassette as the original pilot movie.
