646f9e108c The finale of the television series about Dr. David Banner, a scientist who transforms into a mighty, larger-than-life creature called the Hulk when he gets angry. Desperately attempting to purge himself of his monster-like alter ego, Banner sneaks into a research laboratory. During the critical experiment to purge him of the Hulk once and for all, a spy sabotages the laboratory. Banner falls in love with the spy, Jasmin, who performs missions only because her sister is being held hostage by Jasmin's superiors. Banner and Jasmin attempt to escape from the enemy agents to rebuild their lives together, but the Hulk is never far from them.
When I saw the title of this movie, I thought that they would have found a way to rid David Banner of the Hulk once and for all, but I didn't figure on him dying himself at the end. That seriously sucked bricks. I just knew that he was going to rid himself of the Hulk and go off somewhere with that defected Russian spy and live happily ever after, as the old cliché' goes. What was really sad was that Bill Bixby himself died shortly after he made this movie. This movie signified the end of an era.<br/><br/>I like the fact that they made this kind of like a spy thriller. It was probably the last of the Cold War movies. Some of the scenes in this film were worthy of a good James Bond thriller, only not so many gadgets. All in all, a good but sad farewell to Bill Bixby. 7 out of 10.
When I first saw this movie on TV back in 1990, I fell asleep before the ending because I was taping it. I had to go to school the next day. And that morning someone told me at school that The Hulk had died at the movie's end. I didn't believe it. Sure enough, that person was right. How could this be? You'd think after all these years David Banner would be cured of his green, smashing alter-ego. But he wasn't cured. He got killed off in the most needless, unnecessarily death in TV history. And once again, this movie, like 1989's "Trial Of The Incredible Hulk", had no sign of nosy tabloid reporter Jack McGee (Jack Colvin) anywhere to be found. How disappointing beyond belief! Plus I witnessed another letdown this time. No guest-star superheroes to join forces with The Hulk. I mean, Hulk teamed up with Thor in 1988 and Daredevil in 1989, but he was all alone this time. I'd heard rumors of She-Hulk or Iron Man to be in this one, and Tom Selleck was going to play Iron Man, yet this one had nobody to lend Hulk a hand. Also, it was quite disturbing early on to see David Banner acting like "Rain Man" in this movie. You'd think Dustin Hoffman would've thrown a fit seeing Bill Bixby act like the character he won an Oscar for. Sure Bill Bixby was one of my favorite TV stars, God rest his soul, but he didn't have act like an autistic savant to cover up for the fact he turned green whenever he got angry. Finally, there was another rumor swirling after this movie aired. It was reported that Bill Bixby was going to a 4th Hulk movie titled "Revenge Of The Incredible Hulk". If that only was made, I would've been happy to see Hulk alive and smashing. But sadly, Bixby died before anything came to be for "Revenge Of The Hulk". "Death Of The Hulk" could not top the TV series from 1978-1982 ever in my lifetime. It was sheer tragedy to watch then in 1990, and in 2007 it is still sheer tragedy to watch.
