The Incredible Hulk -- Lou Ferrigno vs. Bear

Lou Ferrigno kicking bear-ass as the hulk, in Alan J. Levi's The Incredible Hulk: Death in the Family (1977).

[@lightheart5]

Lou Ferrigno will always be the true Hulk

[@BIGBG74]

Gotta love how the green paint is rubbing off on the bear during that "fight"... lol

[@A7xFo]

Love the green paint rubbing off on the bear lol

[@santiagobernhardt2]

Gotta love how the bear just peacefully goes away after being thrown in the air by the friggin Hulk.

[@14DaveHunter]

This is my favorite scene from the whole Hulk series. This was before CGI and computer F/X. This was Lou Ferrigno fighting a real bear. It looked like a the Hulk actually stepped out of the comics and became reality.

[@usmcvet8940]

The look on her face when the hulk comes out of the water was like yeah you go hulk! :)

[@DavidGee51]

I remember watching this as a kid and laughing my ass off when he threw the bear across the lake.

[@InfernoPS]

love how his hair are dripping wet while fighting with the bear and in the next shot they are as dry as the Nevada desert, then wet again and dry again :D

[@lauracarothers2276]

I have finally found it. This has got to be one of the most hillarious moments on tv. The throw of the bear made me laugh days, weeks, and months after it showed on CBS. The kids at school talked about it for a while. The show was on a low budget. It's ratings however kept it on the air into the '80s. As seen on Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood if you can see that episode. Mr. Rodger's showed the kids the warehouse type studio where The Hulk episodes was made. It was an old studio. I think by memory they were shooting the episode with an airplane.

[@kuribayashi84]

Well, at least he didnt throw the Bear into space this time... ;)

[@sydandtaytum]

so glad the avengers hulk is the first i ever saw. the sequence with the hulk running after black widow is so intensely exciting to watch.

[@mauriciobf6016]

I really enjoyed watching this series here in Brazil. Thank you very much for the rescue.

[@MrCarl220]

The bear looked like a big stuffed teddy flying across the lake!

[@majesticsupreme]

I know lol!!!! I can't stop laughing!

[@MrCarl220]

Mj Fletcher One of those bad effects that looked so obvious, still, I loved the hell out of this show! It was great TV back when!

[@ensabahnur7877]

+MrCarl220 back in the day. We didnt miss cgi cause it didnt exist

[@MrTommYYZ]

The bear was more upset about all the green paint he got on him.

[@bandoor3577]

when I was a kid . one of my favorite series

[@wheelinthesky300]

Lou is the Hulk, the only Hulk, and nothing but the Hulk. Accept no substitutes. Accept no CGI. Lou has the trophies and street cred -he walked the walk, talked the growl.

[@sbortiz]

Today's Champion of the Internets prize is officially yours.

[@scottthompson9720]

Proof you can make EPIC entertainment without CGI. Redefining bad ass :D

[@Dad1972hthorn]

Because this was a real human. Playing the Hulk. Not computer generated scrap..

[@pom_odoro]

+Dad1972hthorn And that's why it looks so off. The Hulk is supposed to be freakishly big and tall, no human can portray that. What's your beef with CGI? Nowadays, when it's used correctly, you don't even notice it, so why do you hate it? Do you also hate pyrotechnics or practical effects? Because that's the same fucking thing.

[@codyw1]

Cause it looks shit and fake.

[@skinking2252]

@@pom_odoro The new Hulks are pathetics.

[@reopri-lz7yw]

Probably one of the best pieces of acting i mean this isn't cgi or anything it's real never thought i would see a bodybuilder play around with a bear. I really wanna see the behind the scenes of this now.

[@Cccv779]

I loved this so much when I was a kid! This hulk is my childhood

[@bigbaby2012able]

GreatFun11 yes sir mines too R.I.P. Bill Bixby still can watch these as if they came out have all the seasons and the last three movies. Classics!!

[@poop1234794]

Still better than Hulk (2003).

[@skinking2252]

David Banner actually held his own better against a grizzly bear than against a lot of normal men during the whole show.

[@gianmarcosalsavilcafernand2173]

That was not a brown bear, the brown bears measure about 3 meters and are much more dangerous and aggressive. The one that the Hulk defeated would have been a normal bear.

[@Playboyy1985]

Oh shiet I laughed so hard ....thank you for uploading

[@MegaMr46]

This bear wasn't harmed during this episode

[@cortezaz]

Not bad for late 70's early 80's special effects. Even though modern cgi has made it better this early shows is what made us like the hulk since we were kids.

[@TheZacula]

Oh damn, when he threw that incredibly fake bear... that was hilariously bad.

[@Blindsushi]

Did you honestly expect the special effects to be any better? I totally expected it to look awful, and I loved it.

[@TheZacula]

Ian B Oh, I never said that I didn't love it. If he'd thrown a realistic bear it wouldn't have been half as wonderful.

[@3DOGGUSA]

ROFLMAO He friggin' tossed Smokey!

[@SunsetRC]

3DOGGUSA God that was funny. Friggin' body pillow!

[@Blindsushi]

IronTapOuT does your mom know you're using the computer? Be nice

[@FastEddddie]

still better than the CGI hulk!

[@DMDvideo10]

It was good for it's time. But looks pretty ridiculous now compared to the movie Hulk characters.

[@Moneygetjealous]

Lol at 2:20 the bear had green paint all over his face

[@williamwallace1307]

I remember watching that on tv as a kid in the 70s

[@viewtifulvash6068]

I find it kind of funny how you can see the green paint smearing on the bear's fur.

[@Atomfussel12]

Hes like : "AAHAHHH...AHHAH..HAAAAHHH" Bears like: *snuggle snuggle snuggle*

[@carawright567]

love the green paint coming off on the bear. classic

[@daniell5247]

Looked like the paint was rubbing off on the bear lol

[@MrSeriousDelirious]

Wow, smacking the water, how threatening! Best scene is when the bear gets tossed like crazy into the air, cops a hit from a 100 hundred tonner, then just walks away like a boss.

[@DethOfDrgnz]

OMG, that was so awesome!

[@Kees2803]

It's a piece from "Death in the family" aka (The return of the Incredible Hulk) season 1 I like the fying bear lol!

[@roblanco]

Holy shit this is way better than the 2 movies.

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

I'm glad that the magnificent Bear landed in water and remained unharmed !

[@davissi]

Bear volleyball! Awesome!! They really knew how to entertain back then eh?

[@freddietz96]

Bear toss: 2 points.

[@skadrumsandwich7415]

ahh the days when the director could look at the star of the show and look at a live bear and just say. "Alright, get in there Lou. Wrestle that fucking bear for a bit."

[@JustinXCore777]

Man. That bear flew.

[@thispak]

LMFAO at the music when ferrigno throws the bear

[@blu1509]

I died when that bear flew like that

[@SoAndZu]

Even better than the time Walker Texas Ranger defeated that bear with his evil eye hex.

[@MrTigersnake]

Greatest TV show ever?

[@Werebat]

Not the only nor the most impressive time Lou Ferrigno threw a bear. When he played Hercules, he threw a bear into OUTER SPACE!!!

[@chazansilva]

curtia muito ele assistia todos os dias

[@MrTommYYZ]

I like how at the 1:36 mark the old guy cops a feel.

[@KurtisStryker2015]

Good upload

[@jorge.barajas]

muy buenos. los efectos. especiales. no se cómo le hacían es esos tiempos.

[@mrwoods22]

The thought Bruce wasn't a manly name, so they decided to go with the name, David. True story.

[@LOCOVIDEO1985]

Bear learning how to fly

[@rokujones]

Can't tell which is funnier. This fight or the one Arnold Schwarzenegger had with a bear in the movie Hercules in New York.

[@Glennkanaka1129]

ohhh yeah! nothing beats The real Hulk.

[@Laserbeak316]

BILLY! ALSO, HE FOUGHT A BEEEARRR! BILLY! XD What's funny is that on Adventure Time, Lou Ferrigno actually voices a character named Billy on the show.

[@nagrerelax5602]

Laserbeak316 what is the name of that actress?

[@Laserbeak316]

danjo hebron Excuse me? Actress?

[@nagrerelax5602]

girl actor

[@GRehillMusic]

Poor bear, just minding his own business lol.

[@azraelknightquest5754]

Hulk: HULK TOSS!!! Bear: (as he's flying through the air) WHAT IS THIS SHIEEEEEEEEET!!!

[@4855braig]

i like how the bear just glides in the air!!!

[@michaelord988]

Ha ha as Marvel said….what did you want us to do, use a real one?

[@Jadewillneverdie]

Girl fight tonight.......its the Hulk verses the Bear. XD

[@peterdarker1]

That's one of the funniest/dopest things EVER

[@Naturalhit]

Dang, Ferrigno is even bigger than the bear 2:10 This was a good series.

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

LMAO...I love this scene.

[@Yobachi2007]

The Hulk the way he's supposed to be without the bullshit CGI.

[@BuiltForSin0]

+Yobachi2007 sorry but the CGI kinda saved the hulk, cause this scene sucked more ass then stuff people film in there backyards...

[@Yobachi2007]

D_Journey Nah, that cartoonish shit is ridiculous.

[@BuiltForSin0]

Yobachi2007 and this isn't ridiculous? If this crap was released TODAY, guarantee you it would be a parody. This shit blows man. Sorry i respect classics but it's just the truth. astleast CGI is more accurate on how much stronger the hulk in if you translated it from the comics.

[@Yobachi2007]

D_Journey Of course this wouldn't play well today because artificial is all people today are used to. That's just an indictment of today. If some of the best and most classic music was released today it would be considered a joke, too, because live instruments and singing without auto-tune and studio effects is passe. That CGI Hulk SUCKED! I don't care what you say.

[@suggiethames9870]

+trumpet skelton of the abyss Where does the Hulk's extra body mass come from when he transforms?

[@darklord0947]

that was pretty cool

[@lavvy2585]

check out the fake bear he holds over his had and then throws.You gotta love the 70's

[@blackorpheus77]

He threw him like a teddy bear! lol

[@bmsingleton]

I LOVED THIS SHOW BACK IN THE DAY. PHONY A$$ STUFFED BEAR LMFAO

[@rob195rob]

HULK SPLASHH !!

[@kidsalami6367]

man he whipped yogi bear's ass lmao

[@julietopkek6307]

when he threw that bear tho, needless to say we'll never see a real hulk again, CGI from here on out -_-

[@Smile892011]

You could see the green paint wiped on the bear's fur.

[@nickmarsala3787]

Only you can prevent forest fires.......AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@monkeydude952]

BIIIIIIIILLLEEEEEHHHH!!!

[@FALCONRS32]

Dizem que o duble que interpretou o urso ,caxinga da perna até hoje ,ele não sabia que iria enfrentar o hulk,heheheheheheehehehe!!!

[@eichhornchen8638]

2:18 hahahahahaha the ink out from hulk and paint the bear.

[@mws755]

That didn't look like the real bear flying through the air....it looked like Billy Bob from Showbiz Pizza hahahahahahahahaha

[@ALT3REDB3AST]

Damn! That was a real bear! Pretty ballsy of the actors. Now we see where When Animals Attacks comes from. Poor bear had green paint all or it! Ha!

[@wolves1010]

HAHAHA. Skinny trainer sinks with bear. Lou in green paint splashes out the water. Green paint smears on bears jaw. Close up here and there and finally a big teddy bear flys in the air!

[@trevors5216]

Wow......Really Surprised that the Bear didn't INSTINCTIVELY Know to STOP Fighting Immediately................. I mean , .....it's the HULK...?!?!?...HELLO..!!??😊

[@jameslowman1355]

he had to say its probably a leach LoL

[@Braveheart1974]

This is classic television at its best. This tv hulk kicks ass and is much better than the lame Avengers !!

[@SIMOPARAS]

Okey .. This is one of the hilarious things , exist ..

[@StevenRumm]

lou ferrigno kick ass against a stuffed bear

[@zgorge2790]

Yeah it was a teddy bear 😅😂😂😂

[@hellaawsm007]

1:07 "COME AT ME BRO"

[@HulkyTrapz]

haha i could see the paint on lou ferrigno coming out

[@Matak12]

damn a real bear!

[@hydrolito]

Maybe the next TV series will be Doc Samson so they only have to give actor a green wig insteads of covering him with green coloring. Maybe Lou could play Hulk for TV movie where Doc Samon's origin is explained with series as a spin off as they did TV movies where Hulk met Thor and another where he met Dare Devil.

[@PliniusMuscleHeaven]

Didn't know bears were drowning their prey before they ate it. :-)

[@hydrolito]

Pretty tough bear he gets tossed through the air like that and then just walks away.

[@brandonsilva287]

Its so weird because you can see the green paint coming off and half of the paint wasn't on him you could see his normal skin color

[@DocteurInfierno]

Calvaire! J'en connais un dans le film :"le survivant" qui aurait aimé ça pouvoir se transformer en Hulk

[@tavosombra]

jajajajajajajajaja the bear in the sky XD

[@hummarstra]

2:23 LMFAO!!!!

[@gus4u2c]

Originally Stan Lee wanted the Hulk to fight a robot bear.That's why I don't care what Stan Lee has to say about the live-action Spider-Man from the '70s.That show was more faithful to the source material compared to other Marvel adaptations from the same decade.

[@davidthefrank]

BILLY! HE FIGHT A BEAAAR!!!

[@benlockhurst4390]

poor frigging yogi ,, just wait till boo boo hears abt this

[@kylepferris6474]

Hulk splash!!
