well without the technology we had to use EFFORT, which is why movies looked 10 times better back in the old days, why do think ghosbusters looked so good? that was a puppet taking multiple puppeteers, and to make it look good and hoping people would take it seriously they needed to treat it like any other film eg the ny ecto-1 coming down the road scene was flawless

Jason-Big Louie had long wanted to do a speaking role, so the producers got together and came up with this episode. It was the only time he had a speaking role, and the only time he appeared without the green makeup, not to mention one of only three times he and Bill Bixby shared screen time.

I always said the Incredible Hulk is a great actor. The Hulk played Lou Ferrigno extremely well & looked almost identical.

[@rashb3994]

"Pose for us!" LMFAO that was hysterical and awesome! Hulk wasn't passing up chance at that bodybuilding contract. I like how they made him look a foot bigger next to Ferrigno. Kind of a great scale of how big he should be.

I was worried how this would hold up but it is AWESOME. Lou really gives the Hulk that realistic rage and pathos. The scaling is perfect as well, I think they had Lou labeled as a giant for this episode and then the Hulk just towers over him. Awesome

The crowd annoys Hulk by yelling "pose for us" Hulk responds by roaring and flexing his muscles. They go nuts thinking he was posing. Hilarious.

[@brianallan9841]

According to IMBD this is Lou Ferrigno's favourite episode of the series. It's one of my favourites too. It was nice to see the big man have a speaking role and get the chance to play a different role outwith the hulk 😀

What were the criminals who were kidnapping Dr. Banner trying to do? Was it some kind of a steroid scandal that Banner knew about and they were trying to kill him to keep him quiet?

[@dalelerette206]

This is so cool. I vaguely remembered this from my childhood. But it's good to see it clearly after over 40 years. The time Thor showed on this TV series was really good too. But I remember being disappointed it wasn't as good as the comic books. But it was still good!

I probably was too young to realise Lou was the actual Hulk back when I was a kid watching the original tv series run in the late 70’s ! Amazing this show is so dear to me ❤️

[@vansnk12]

Me too! I didn't connect the two together until I was much older. I was always wondering why I kept seeing the name "Lou Ferrigno" with the Incredible Hulk show. I was like "Who is this guy Ferrigno?" Jeez Louise I was so dumb back then!

[@danielvargas9231]

Hulk is probably thinking: "Its like I'm looking at a mirror. But more handsome." I love these series a lot

[@theYguy300]

[@stephenwells1559]

I remember this episode! I didn’t realise Lou played himself in it though. I like how they made him smaller than the Hulk in the shot with the two of them facing each other on stage.

[@asifkhan4822]

Hulk gets meta, amazing how they managed to make Lou look shorter than when he is the Hulk. Nice bit of camera trickery in the pre-CGI era where you get to see Lou Ferrignou share the screen as bodybuilder Carl Molino and as the Hulk. It was nice to see Lou get a speaking role and show off his acting chops. Also it was one of the few times he got to share screentime with Bill Bixby, a real nice guy and genuine gentleman.

[@KesselRunner606]

Watched this as a kid. My dad tried telling me, "That's the guy who plays the Hulk," but I didn't believe him. As far as I was concerned, the Hulk *was* the Hulk.

[@twondizzle8381]

It's funny how every pose he made almost coincided with the shirt rips.

[@tl7091dty]

Lou Ferringo said this was one of his favorite episodes because he got to play two characters this time, including somebody other than the the hulk. Also, the cuts at 1:27 between Hulk's growing muscles and Carl Molino (Ferringo's muscleman character) are perfectly spliced together, showing that the hulk is just as human as anyone else, seriously misunderstood being.

[@dw8840]

[@HYPOMANNUGGETSILLYMAN]

I could be wrong but technically Lou is in the MCU. I think Ferrigno provided the growl of the Hulk in Incredible Hulk when Ed Norton was Banner. I know he played a security guard in the Ang Lee Hulk Eric Bana one, but that isn't part of the MCU.

They think he rips it off his chest when saving him from the villains in the episode or eats him up and all you see is his shirt ripped.

[@whoami7721]

Yep, when I was old enough to contemplate this, I would wonder about it. Every time Banner changed, the remains of his ripped shirt were left at the scene. Not just his shirt, but his ruined belt, boots, and presumably socks. Someone would eventually come upon them and start putting two and two together. It was shown a couple of times on the show that his boots were left where his feet burst out of them, for example. How long would it take to trace the purchase of a shirt or pair of boots back to David? If course, he obviously paid for everything in cash, a more common practice in the late 1970s. There's a lot of rather geeky questions that come up if you think about it. It's best to just suspend disbelief.
