The Death of the Incredible Hulk

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.

Twelve years, five seasons, three well below-average TV reunion movies, and what do the loyal viewers of The Incredible Hulk get: the death of The Incredible Hulk (hence the movies title) and the death of David Banner! We watched the trials and tribulations of this guy for over a decade to see him die by falling out of a plane?! I know that this was not the last movie planned in the series, and there were no cheesy comic book characters in this movie, but the Hulk falling out of a plane?! He did the same thing in "Freefall" and survived just fine! Real fans of this series are in denial that this movie ever happened almost twenty years later. If I knew this was how the series was going to end, I would rather have the ending of "A Minor Problem", with David Banner walking off into the sunset forever in search of his cure. I simply don't understand how people give this movie five stars. A total rip off, no continuity with the tv series, and most importantly, no sign AT ALL of Jack McGee. I saw this movie once, when it originally aired, but remember it all too vividly. The fans deserved better.

The Death of the Incredible Hulk (1990) is Bill Bixby's last movie as David Banner and he directed this made for TV movie! The Death of the Incredible Hulk is Bill Bixby's last film as David Bruce Banner. No one could play David Banner better than he can. Elizabeth Gracen is also good as Jasmine. Lou Ferrigno is the Hulk period. The New Hulk CGI movies don't compare to the original Incredible Hulk TV movies. The Incredible Hulk dies at the end of the movie and David Banner will finally Rest in Peace. Bill Bixby will be remembered.

I remember when this TV movie aired on NBC television back in the 1990s. A

This movie was the last we see of Bill Bixby as Dr Bruce Banner. Good movie in all yes it does have a cheesy areas but not to many. Bill Bixby whom is no longer with us puts a finally ending to the Incredible Hulk series which he was a part of from the 70's into the 80's. I would have like to seen another hero involved in this movie( like the Trial of The Incredible Hulk with Dare Devil in the Mix) or the Return of the incredible Hulk with Thor) but none the less it still is worth buying for any fan of this great and ground breaking serious.

Now, I thought that David Banner was going to cure himself of this metamorphosis. That is what I thought the title of the movie means. Ridding himself of the creature has always been his goal. That was what he had in mind in the movie but the experiment backfired. Overall, the film was good. There are a few surprises. There are some sad moments so be sure to prepare for some drama.
