Review of 747

The Incredible Hulk: 747 (1978)
Season 1, Episode 7
9/10
Slow transformation worth the price of admission
16 February 2022
I loved the Incredible Hulk when it first appeared. This was one of the best episodes of the whole series topped only by episodes like A Death in the Family. A treat was the appearance of Brandon Cruz who played Bixby's young son in the 60's series The Courtship of Eddie's Father. In this episode he is a teenager helping the Hulk land the plane.

The scene at the end when David is trying to land the airplane is pure movie magic as David is this time fighting turning into the Hulk, and for a few minutes only turns halfway. The make-up is incredible as he turns into the Hulk little by little as the air traffic controller gives him instructions how to land the plane and keeps urging him to not lose control, which is a very clever double meaning. The werewolf movie transformations of the day had nothing on this one. This episode has to be seen to be believed.
