RETURN OF THE INCREDIBLE HULK
Return of the Incredible Hulk is a television film that serves as a continuation of the beloved series The Incredible Hulk, which originally aired from 1978 to 1982. Starring the talented Bill Bixby as Dr. David Banner and featuring Lou Ferrigno as the iconic Hulk, this film encapsulates the essence of the characters while bringing a new narrative to fans.
The film first aired on November 4, 1988, and was produced by Universal Pictures. This made-for-TV movie marks the first of three such films that followed the original series, bridging the storylines and providing closure for fans of the series. The movie retains the tone of the show, blending elements of drama, action, and a touch of science fiction.
In this installment, Dr. Banner continues his quest for a cure for his condition, which transforms him into the Hulk whenever he experiences heightened emotions such as anger. For Banner, the struggle is not just physical; it's also deeply emotional as he wrestles with his dual identity.
Returning characters include Jack McGee, played by Jack Colvin, who is now more determined than ever to uncover Banner's secret. This adds a layer of tension and drama to the storyline, as McGee's pursuit of the truth puts both himself and Banner in danger.
The film's plot revolves around Banner's latest attempts to control his transformations while seeking a scientific solution for his condition. In doing so, he becomes embroiled in a conspiracy involving dangerous experiments that threaten both his life and those around him.
One notable aspect of the film is its special effects, which, while primitive by today’s standards, were considered groundbreaking at the time. Lou Ferrigno's portrayal of the Hulk remains memorable, showcasing both the beast's brute strength and the inner turmoil of the man trapped within.
Exploration of Themes: The film delves into themes of identity, isolation, and the search for redemption, reflecting broader human struggles.
Cinematic Techniques: The use of practical effects and makeup to bring the Hulk to life had a significant impact, influencing later superhero films.
Character Development: The film provides deeper insight into Dr. Banner's psyche, portraying his vulnerabilities along with his physical struggles.
The film also features several guest appearances by well-known actors, enriching the narrative further. That Night in Rio is a highlight segment showcasing Banner's journey, where he attempts to connect with a woman, adding a romantic subplot that provides relief from the darker themes.
Return of the Incredible Hulk was followed by further sequels, including The Incredible Hulk Returns (1988) and The Trial of the Incredible Hulk (1989), continuing to explore Banner’s adventures and his ongoing battle with his monstrous alter ego.
This film represents not only a nostalgic return for fans of the original series but also serves as an exploration of the complexities of human emotion through the lens of superhero storytelling. Its enduring legacy is evident in that it has paved the way for modern adaptations of the Hulk in various media, including blockbuster films and animated series.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
