Incredible Hulk Trivia

This past weekend they were showing the 2003 version of "The Hulk" on cable. If you are a child of the 80's, you might remember "The Incredible Hulk" TV series that ran from 1977 to somewhere around 1982. The show kind of shambled off the air when the ratings started to slide. Back in those days there was rarely a dramatic final episode to conclude a series, as show cancellations just kind of happened. But there was a 1988 TV movie "The Incredible Hulk Returns," followed by "The Trial of the Incredible Hulk" in 1989. So how does the Hulk of 2003 compare with the one in the TV version? CGI Hulk big. CGI Hulk smash. CGI Hulk has strange play dough like consistency. Creating a CGI Hulk wasn't a possibility back when they made the TV series, so instead they hired a bodybuilder and former Mr. Universe to play the part, covered in green make-up and frizzed out wig. He may not have had CGI Hulk's 15 foot tall stature, but he brought a level of humanity to the role. So who played the Incredible Hulk in the late 70's/early 80's live action TV version?

To help you with this week's trivia question, here's the opening segment to the 1980's Incredible Hulk TV show. It's fun to watch it again and it may just give you the answer to this week;s trivia question. Take a look...



Bonus Question: Academy award winning actress Jennifer Connelly appears in the 2003 Hulk film. Eighties fans may remember her from the 1986 film "Labyrinth." She's probably best known for her part in "A Beautiful Mind," as well as several other films from the last ten years or so, but she started her career with small acting and modeling gigs when she was still in grade school. Jennifer Connelly even had a bit part in a Duran Duran video back in the 80's. Which one?
