'The Incredible Hulk TV series was dumped during the 5 season having only 7 episodes and leaving a big void for a finale of the show. These two TV movies are pretty fun and the effects seem to be a little bit better than the series.
The first film 'The Return Of The Incredible Hulk is the better of the two films and features another of Marvel Comic's biggest heroes The Mighty Thor. Although Thor is unfortunately even more loosely based than the Hulk, the Norse God of Thunder is a hoot in this fun if a little too long film.
The Mighty Thor is reduced to nothing more than a beer guzzling barbarian with a zest for battle and Tom Foolery. The Hulk looks pretty mean in this film and is an improvement over the series, but the film is nothing more than another installment in the quest for a cure for Dr Banner.
The second film is pretty tedious, but it does include another Marvel icon Daredevil! Even though Daredevil is a far cry from his comic counter part, the character is done better than the God of Thunder in the previous film.
If Hulk TV is your cup of tea, I would suggest you buy the 2 disc version for these films as it includes some very cool extras. The one disc version includes the films only and it cost about the same price as the two disc version......Hulk like extras!
Hulk Smash one disc version!

These backdoor pilot TV movies(designed to launch a solo Thor and Daredevil series)may have failed to excite audiences of the time, but the fun and adventure are preserved on DVD.
I remember anxiously awaiting the broadcast of both of these movies when they originally aired and I feel the same way about them now, that I did then. Even as a kid I knew that Thor was missing his cape and that Daredevil dressed in red, not black, but the excitement and creativity of the interpretation kept me glued to the set.
As always, Bill Bixby's David Banner is a tortured soul, who still manages to help those in need but the new heroes are almost as enjoyable. I especially enjoyed the relationship between Thor and Don Blake in The Incedible Hulk Returns and I think it could have made for at least a fun single season of fish our of water/buddy cop type stories. Also, Rex Smith as Daredevil and his Police Seargant accomplice would have made for a good crime fighting duo for a year or two, as long as they increased the budget to make a decent costume.
I actually enjoyed these TV Movies more than the series itself, which always seemed repetitive and predictable, and I'm glad to own it. For this price, you should be, too!

The Incredible Hulk Returns is a great TV movie! This Incredible Hulk TV movie was released in 1988. The TV movie aired on NBC back in the late 1980s. You still have the original cast from the TV series, Bill Bixby, Lou Ferrigno, and Jack Colvin. This particular movie David Banner had not transformed into the Hulk in two years and he meets up with an old friend Donald BLake, his character has spiritual connection with Thor. Hulk and Thor actually meet in ths TV movie which makes it worth waiting for! The other Incredible Hulk Movie is the Trial of the Incredible Hulk (1989)! This is second Incredible Hulk TV movie that aired on NBC in 1989. after David Banner meets Lawyer Matt Murdock played by Rex Smith. Matt Murdok is actually DareDevil, the blind Superhero from the Marvel comics universe. This is interpredation of DaveDevil pretty good. Rex Smith does a better job playing the Matt Murdock/DareDevil then Ben Affeck did in DareDevil 2003 movie!! Some how David Banner is accused of a crime he did not commit and DareDevil thinks the Wilson Fisk, aka KingsPin is responsible. Both Incredibl Hulk TV movies are great as well as the special features. There is an Interviews with Stan Lee and Lou Ferrigno. There also a slide show presentation from the TV movies courtsey of Lou Ferrigno! A+ 4 stars

The whole Hulk, Thor, Daredevil thing is kind of crazy, but what was so good about The Incredible Hulk series, in my view, was that they took the incredible and made it somehow believable. Not saying that it wasn't unbelievable, but it seemed so down to earth that it had an air of believability about it. What it all boils down to is that it's a great show with great actors who did a splendid job.
