The Trial of the Incredible Hulk

Synopsis: David Banner faces his greatest challenge…But can any court withstand both the Hulk and Daredevil?

While trying to stop a subway mugging, David Banner (Bill Bixby) is arrested for assault and is defended by blind attorney Matt Murdock (Rex Smith). But when Hulk (Lou Ferrigno) goes berserk and breaks out of jail, Murdock reveals his own secret to David Banner: Blinded by toxic radiation, he stalks the night as the super sensory acrobatic crime fighter called Daredevil. Can two men with uncommon powers now join forces to defeat an international crime syndicate or will their raging demons destroy whatever stands in their way?

John Rhys-Davies (Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Lord of the Rings) co-stars as the Kingpin in this top-rated 1989 television film directed by Bill Bixby that features one of the all-time great Hulk rampage scenes as well as a cameo appearance by Marvel Comics’ Stan Lee!

The Trial of the Incredible Hulk 3.5

Well, it’s not as lame as ‘The Incredible Hulk Returns’. But it’s not saying much, ’cause it’s still downright awful. To make matters worse, 2/3 of it is filmed in video and the rest on film. It looks really crappy and it’s off-putting.

Gosh… it looked like they ran out of money on this one (not that the budget was anything to crow about on the last one shock). The production sometimes reminded me of old BBC shows, like ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’.

Difference is that, despite the crappy-looking production, ‘Hitchhiker’ was a good show smile
