Universal's Incredible Hulk DVD will satisfy fans of the CBS television series by offering the two-hour 1978 pilot, as well as the feature-length second-season opener, "Married," and a commentary track by series creator Kenneth Johnson. In bringing the Hulk to TV, Johnson decided to focus on its human alter ego, scientist Bruce Banner (here renamed David), rather than its rampages. In the pilot, Banner (Bill Bixby) is haunted by the death of his wife and unleashes his untapped rage in the form of a monstrous creature (Lou Ferrigno) after experimenting with radiation. And in "Married," Banner falls for a researcher (Mariette Hartley in an Emmy-winning performance) who attempts to cure his "hulk-outs." Johnson's solid scripting and direction and fine performances from the leads made the series a critical and audience favorite during its network run, and the DVD--deceptive cover art aside (which features images from the 2003 Hulk theatrical feature)--should again please longtime fans and novice viewers alike. --Paul Gaita ...

"Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry"
"Within each of us, oftimes; there dwells a mighty and raging fury".
Thanks to the success of the HULK movie, the premiere of the original TV series has been released to DVD. Personally, I like the TV show better. I hadn't seen it since I was a little kid, and was surprised to find I enjoyed this DVD a lot.
The first episode on this is the series 1 pilot. As all fans of the show know, Bill Bixby plays Dr. David Banner; who is haunted by nightmares about the death of his wife Laura in a car accident after a tyre blows out and the car goes off the road. Banner escapes but is unable free Laura before the car explodes.
Later, Banner is conducting research for an experiment on superhuman strength. Interviewed is a woman recounting how she saved her son from burning to death in a car accident that is startlingly similar to Banner's own experience. After hearing more testimony, Banner seems to be the only one who has failed. Guilt and anxiety lead him to go one step further and become a guinea pig for his testing. He discovers that the source of this strength is gamma radiation, so he subjects himself to a course of it, but has no results. So he tries again- only this time exposing himself to seven times the amount. Nothing happens. At least... not immediately.
Matters come to a head when Banner, frustrated at his lack of progress is driving home in a thunderstorm and has to change a flat tyre in the rain; this combined stress leads to his first "Hulk-out"...

More intelligent than most TV movies, the pilot also has a memorable sequene paying homage to the drowning scene in James Whale's FRANKENSTEIN, where the Hulk tries to save a little girl from drowning but her screams alert her father who tries to shoot the hulk. Naturally the bullets just bounce off. Special mention must be made of the wig Lou Ferrigno wears- he looks like he should have a golf tee tacked into the top of his head. Also of note: Banner watches himself changing back through the reflection in the water. Strange considering in the 1990 TVM, DEATH OF THE INCREDIBLE HULK Banner comments he's never before seen the creature after watching a tape of his transformation!
The bonus episode on the DVD is the series 2 pilot "Married"; again Written, Produced and Directed by Kenneth Johnson, who also produced SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN and BIONIC WOMAN.
This installment has Banner, using the alias David Benton; in Honolulu seeing psychiatrist Dr. Caroline Fields (Mariette Hartley, in an Emmy winning performance) to try and control his "hulkouts".(He even shows her a newspaper photo of the Hulk and confronts the beast while under hypnosis! So that's three times on this DVD alone!) Banner falls in love with her and learns Caroline is terminally ill and has only 6-8 weeks to live. Of course, Banner is none too happy to discover his nemesis, tabloid reporter Jack Magee (Jack Colvin) is sniffing around trying to catch the creature.
MARRIED is an intelligent emotionally charged, (but not sappy) episode which is appealing to adults as well as kids. There are also a few laughs, most notably in the scene where the Hulk trashes a weasly bachelor's "swinging" pad! The bell bottoms are good for a giggle too. "Groovy" stuff. I hope more episodes of the show are released on DVD.

Excellent made for TV Pilot on DVD!
This is the pilot for the popular 70's classic show based on the Marvel comic books. It tells about Dr. David Banner ( Bill Bixby) who studys the hidden strengths that all humans have then he experiments on himself with gamma radiation but overdoses it. When he got angry after his experiment, he transforms into a raging green beast who's really gentle but misunderstood by society called " The Hulk" ( Lou Ferrigno).
This is an excellent pilot that tells the origin of everyone's favorite green giant, Bill Bixby is truly incredible as David Banner and Lou Ferrigino is great as Hulk with the make-up, wig and silver eyes. The DVD is great, it offers commentary by series writer, director and producer Kenneth Johnson, an introduction by Lou Ferrigno, a look in the making of the 2003 Hulk movie and a bonus episode " The Incredible Hulk Married" with commentary by Kenneth Johnson.
If you are a fan of the series, own this to know the origin of the Hulk.

A masterpiece
The pilot film of the Incredible Hulk tv series may very well be the most heartwrenching film ever put to film. To have "Married" (another heartbreaking moment realized by series developer Kenneth Johnson) on the dvd is just icing on the cake. If you love the Hulk, pick this up. It doesnt dissapoint.

The first episode is the best!!!!
When I saw the pilot episode I really hated it. I don't remeber why I hated it but now I love it!!!!! It's about a man named David Banner(Bill Bixby) who's wife died in a car acident. Angry that he was not able to save his wife, he finds out that the same thing has been happing to other people, only they saved the person in the person car. David finds out that it is the gamma energy that is helping the other people save the person in the car. David put gamma energy into his body, but so much that it made this creature called the Hulk( Lou Freggino). Great start to a great series. Better than the movie. This DVD has another episode called "Marride" which is very good and has lots of Hulk sceans. Well worth your money.

My favorite show is back on dvd!!!
In 1977,CBS introduced all of us to a great show based on the marvel comics superhero created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1962.We meet Dr.David Banner,a research scientist and physician,trying to tap into mans source of strength,Banner is trying to cope with the death of his wife Laura,played by Lara Parker of Dark Shadows fame,through this unfortunate accident,Dr Banner and a fellow scientist,Elaina Marks,played beautifully by the lovely Susan Sullivan interview people when in times of emotional stress display unusual strength,but Dr.Banner discovering that Gamma Rays are responsible for making them strong and because he could not save his wife because of low gamma activity decides to experiment on himself absorbing a massive amount of gamma radiation he fails in the experiment on himself and feels no effects at first,but when he becomes angry or frustrated,he transforms into a hulking monster with super strength,7 feet tall,green and powerful.Lou Ferrigno as the Hulk was magnificent and I think the best one in the world who played the role and also a bodybuilding champion.The late Bill Bixby in the role of Dr.David Banner will be truly missed,he was a wonderful actor and played the role of Banner with compassion and inginuity.The episode Married is a truly great episode of the series.Banner is trying to seek help for his condition with a physchiatist and doctor named Caroline Fields played marvelously by Mariette Hartley,who unfortunatly has an illness of her own.the both of them marry and Dr.Fields life comes to an untimely end.This dvd is a must have for every fan of the series,and has a great introduction by Lou Ferrigno who plays the hulk,I will always be a fan of this marvelous show which ran on cbs from 1978-82. ...

Eyes Like Hot Coals...Fangs Like Razors!
After great success in the title roles of the AIP films Count Yorga, Vampire (1970), and The Return of Count Yorga (1971), Robert Quarry appeared yet again as a vampire in a non-AIP film, as Khorda, in Deathmaster (1972), which didn't sit well with AIP as they thought it too closely resembled the Count Yorga character, and they eventually secured the rights to the film, giving it a very limited release, subsequently banishing it to late night television limbo...until now...

The film, directed by actor, later turned director, Ray Danton, seems to attempt to capitalize on the success of the Yorga films, along with the notoriety stemming from the Manson family crimes of a few years earlier. As the film's credits begin, displaying the title 'eathmaste' (obviously the film was originally released in wide screen format, but is presented in full screen format here), we see an odd looking fellow (we later learn his name is Barbado) in the dunes on a beach, as he begins playing a flute (I think the movie is supposed to take place in California). After a few moments of this, a coffin floats towards the beach, and is found by a surfer walking along the beach (leave it be, dude). He pulls it further on shore, opens it (good idea), and gets attacked by Barbado, who snuck up behind him, which I thought was a pretty good trick as the guy's wearing a lot of jingly jangly jewelry around his neck, which tends to make a lot of noise. Barbado dispatches the surfer, hoists the coffin, and lugs it back to his pick-up truck.

Cut to what appears to be some sort of hippie festival in its' final days. Here we meet Pico (Bill Ewing), Rona (Brenda Dickson), and Pop, played by popular character actor John Fielder, who, among other roles, does the voice for Piglet on the Winnie the Pooh cartoons). They have a run-in with a just arrived biker, Monk (William Jordan) and his old lady, Esslin (Betty Ann Rees). Pico uses kung fu on Monk (which is the only time he uses it...I was looking forward to a kung fu fight with a vampire), but as the heat show up (a policeman), all four book it for a funky mansion in the hills where a whole group of hippies seem to have taken up residence. It's peace, love, and a whole lot of smokin' of things probably not legal. Around this time Khorda (Quarry) makes his appearance, and proceeds to blow these young bloods' minds, spewing a bunch of metaphysical mumbo-jumbo, but coming from Quarry, in his rich, aristocratic tones, it's pretty sweet to the ears, and he quickly enthralls the doped up hippies. He soon departs, despite the young hippies pleas (always leave 'em wanting more), but he'll be back, as we get a sense that he was just priming them for the big show. And he does come back, encouraging them to clean the mansion, and clean their souls (whatever that means). Monk, not buying into any of what he calls a 'freak show', decides to go off to town for 'whiskey and a steak', leaving his old lady Esslin in Khorda's clutches, which he soon reveals his true nature, attacking and turning her into a creature of the night.

The weirdness continues, and Pico decides it's time to split. He tells Rona to get her stuff, but they get sidetracked and Pico gets chained up in some caves underneath the house, and Barbado captures Rona after she find the shackled Pico. Pico manages to slip out of his bondage, as the chains were never really fastened or anything (good job Barbado) and finds Khorda's coffin in a cave within the catacombs, along with a bowl of leeches (!?). Pico then manages to escape out to the beach, and makes his way back to Pop to relate his terror-filled tale. Pop doesn't believe Pico's story, but then Pop's dog gets bitten by a vampire and dies (oh bruther) and now, as the Monkees put it, 'I'm a believer'. They do some research, infiltrate the mansion, and witness a black ceremony. This sets up the final confrontation and the rather downbeat, yet oddly satisfying, ending more common with movies throughout the 70's.

Okay, the only real reason to watch this film is for Robert Quarry. Despite the complete schlockiness of the production, Quarry puts on a great show, creating a suave, charismatic veneer that conceals a terrifying monster. His dialogue comes across smoothly, entrancing the hippies like some kind of Svengali, as they willingly accept his 'gift'. The story is very loose, creating gigantic plot holes, and character development is virtually non-existent. The dialog is pretty lame, and most of the other acting beside Quarry is bargain basement stuff, along with the extremely dated wardrobe (I swear the fabric that made up Quarry's robe was from my grandma's old couch). The pacing throughout did slow noticeably at times, making me think the director was padding the film a bit, filling out the 88 minute run time. Quarry's vampire makeup was actually better than I expected, presenting a pretty scary visage when in vampire mode.

Retromedia Entertainment presents a better than average quality of full screen print here, and a load of extras including a commentary track (pretty rare for a Retromedia release) by Fred Olin Ray and Robert Quarry, still galleries, trailers for this and some other Robert Quarry films, and television commercials and radio spots featuring Quarry. The special features seem to present more of a homage to Quarry rather than focusing on the film, but given that Quarry more or less made the movie watchable, that's not a bad thing. Fans of Quarry won't be disappointed. I guess if I learned anything from this movie, it's that vampires like to keep a bowl of water full of leeches next to their coffin. Why? Kindred spirits, I guess...

Cheesmaster! Recently Resurrected on DVD
If you're a fan of vampire movies in general, then you're probably familiar with the Count Yorga films, which would mean that you are also at least somewhat familiar with Robert Quarry.

In my opinion, with the possible exceptions of Frank Langella (Dracula -1979), and Richard Lynch (Vampire - 1979), Robert Quarry brought the dapper, aristocratic, unrepentant vampire to the screen like none other. And while I would credit Christopher Lee with the definitive screen portrayal of Dracula himself, Lee was more a character of mysterious menace rather than the more personable yet just-as-menacing vampires brought to life by Langella, Lynch, and Quarry.

After the enormous success of Quarry's "Count Yorga, Vampire" at the box-office, he signed up for something of a departure from the proper, Bulgarian count that he had previously portrayed. The storyline that was eventually decided upon by Quarry and others, called for him to portray an ancient, evil vampire who interposes himself into the troubled world of a group of youthful hippies, earns their trust with various philosophical manipulations and sheer force of personality, and eventually attempts to turn them all into a coven of the undead.

Faced with lawsuits over similarities to "Count Yorga, Vampire," the producers of "Deathmaster" were forced to sell their work to American International Pictures, which released it to a minimum of screens in order to recoup costs, and then promptly buried it. Deathmaster made appearances on television throughout the 70's and 80's, and then seemed to vanish from the airwaves. I myself caught it in the 80's on Count Gore DeVol's "Creature Feature" program on Channel 20 in the Washington DC area, and always wondered what became of it.

For those of you who have posted here, as well as others who may have wondered what happened to this bit of 70's horror cheese, fear not! It was resurrected on DVD in September, 2002, and is now available for purchase for the first time in the U.S. This DVD is packed, too. It features a theatrical trailer, radio spots, film commentary with Robert Quarry (and, I believe, the director...), scene selection, etc. Beware of one thing in regard to this DVD though: my copy says "widescreen" on the DVD snap-case, but the film is actually presented in full screen format, which would be fine except for that fact that it cuts the title credits off a bit. DEATHMASTER becomes EATHMASTE. Otherwise the DVD transfer is excellent. Others I know actually do have widescreen versions. My copy must have been an error of some type.

For the uninitiated, this film is indeed a prime sampling of 70's horror cheese, but Robert Quarry gives his usual stand-out performance as Khourda, the millennia-old vampire who has come to corrupt and prey upon our modern, wayward youths. This film features a big, lovin' spoonful of hippie-dom, hippie-music, etc., and is quite amusing at the very least. But Quarry's performance is very well done indeed, and is worth the price alone. Feel free to give the rest a healthy dose of the MST-3000 treatment though.

Contents: Minimal blood, minimal language, moderate violence, no sexual scenes, one brief glimpse of partial nudity (girl, from the back). Rating: 3 out of 4. Quarry's performance is excellent, the movie is just plain fun, and the DVD quality/extras are excellent.

Best Retromedia DVD yet for campy but fun Quarry shocker
My experience with Retromedia DVDs has been pretty spotty, and I had never seen Deathmaster before buying this, so I'm glad to say I'm very pleased on both counts. Deathmaster was concocted as an indie production by Quarry and actor/first-time director Ray Danton to cash in on the huge success of AIP's Count Yorga: Vampire and make a subtle comment on the then-recent Manson family murders. AIP chief Sam Arkoff, angered by Quarry's swift and bold move, threatened a lawsuit, eventually buying the picture and giving it a very limited release. After a run on TV in the '70s it disappeared, never available on video. The movie starts with a surfer finding the coffin of Khorda (Quarry) washed ashore, but he's soon dispatched by Khorda's creepy flute-playing henchman Barbado. We're then introduced to the main characters, a bunch of disaffected but 'lovable' guitar-strumming Hollywoodized 'hippies' squatting in a huge old mansion who smoke lots of weed, run from 'the heat,' sing dippy inspirational folk songs, and use lots of hilarious sixties jargon. (The main folksinging hippie is a nearly unrecognizable Bobby 'Boris' Pickett of Monster Mash fame.) Khorda just sort of shows up in their midst, spouting existentialist/cosmic mumbo-jumbo (some of it improvised by Quarry) that the simple-minded flower children instantly 'groove' to even though they have no idea what he's talking about. Only biker dude Monk (whose iron cross repels Khorda) is skeptical, and bolts in search of whiskey and steak, leaving girlfriend Esslin to be seduced/attacked later by the vampiric 'guru.' The other hippies are so inspired by Khorda's rhetoric that they clean up their pad and start digging lame muzak, co-written by Ray Conniff (!!) and Pickett. Despite their copious herbal consumption these hippies apparently don't believe in free love: the guys and gals retire to separate quarters at night! Monk returns, is promptly dispatched by Khorda, and, inexplicably, everyone except 'gung fu' practicing hero Pico (who's hair looks like a really fake wig but is apparently his own) and heroine Rona go into a mystical dance-trance while Barbado plays congas (unconvincingly) and Khorda mingles. Pico and Rona try to escape the house, but are captured by Barbado, though Pico eventually gets away to seek help from balding serape-wearing hippie entrepreneur Pop (John Fiedler, ubiquitous professional milquetoast character actor and voice of piglet in the Walt Disney Winnie the Pooh cartoons). Pop just happens to have one of those old occult books (in paperback!) that explains what's going on (with handy pictures of the amulets the newly-baptized vampire cult are wearing). They mount their assault on Khorda and his minions with mallets and broom-handle stakes, and the movie finishes with one of those typically '70s 'shock/twist' endings and the only moment of actual 'special effects' in the picture. Amazingly, despite being surrounded by some really bad acting and dated dialogue, Quarry acquits himself quite admirably, creating a fairly menacing, believable character (ignoring of course all the psychobabble he's given to mouth). He looks great in an assortment of groovy custom-made robes, is occasionally introduced by sitar licks on the soundtrack, and has the same multi-pointed fangs as in Count Yorga (although everyone else is stuck with obvious dime-store 'goofy teeth'). There is no real nudity and minimal gore, even for 1972 (though the leeches are a nice, if unexplained, touch). The plot has its holes, and the relentless hippie-ness gives the film a goofy, campy aura, but Danton keeps the camera and the story moving so its quite enjoyable, never boring, and worth it for Quarry's magnetic performance and a few effectively creepy sequences. A little-seen treat for all Yorga/Quarry fans or anyone who loves the old AIP drive-in sleaze in general.
Fortunately, Fred Olen Ray/Retromedia have actually done a surprisingly decent job in rescuing this from rights-issues limbo. The print is very clean, with virtually no spotting or other damage, and matted to 1.85:1 (although it looks a little closer 1.75:1 or so to me). The color is not spectacular but quite serviceable, and isn't going to look any better since the transfer is from the original 35mm camera negative. The black level, brightness, contrast, and detail are all fine, and I didn't notice any artifacting or other weirdness that plagues other Retromedia discs I own (King Dinosaur, Faceless Monster). There are four still galleries: publicity, behind-the-scenes, Quarry portraits, Quarry on stage and screen; 30- and 60-second radio spots for Count Yorga; really scratchy TV promos for Count Yorga and Sugar Hill, a Lucky Strike commercial featuring Quarry, and a classic, funny Shasta orange soda commercial featuring Fiedler and Frankenstein's monster. While these extras are nice and generally well done, the real highlight of the set is Quarry's audio commentary (with Fred Olen Ray, who directed Quarry in dozens of low-budet indies in the 1980s and '90s), which is nearly as entertaining as the feature. Quarry is sophisticated and witty, as expected, providing much interesting behind-the-scenes production info and some amusing anecdotes, with little if any dead air. Finally a Retromedia disc worthy of my unqualified highest recommendation. Get it! ... Read more

I Thought The Phrase 'Living Dead' Applied To Zombies
Unless you happen to be under the age of ten, this movie is not creepy, scary or any other adjective to describe a movie that is classified as horror. As a movie under the classic genre--by classic I mean the ones that came out before Hollywood decided that horror movies needed blood, guts and gore for a horror movie to be successful. You know the kind that came out in the 1920's to 1930's, were black and white, possibly silent, that kind of thing.
'Crypt Of The Living Dead' was released at the end of this ungorified era. Expecting a movie that was black and white, according to the online synopsis, I was somewhat surprised to find that I was watching a colour movie. The surprise was short lived when I figured out that the "old vampire movie" I was watching came out in the early 1970's.

Anyway, this explorer/scientist is looking around on the island when he happens upon the tomb of Hannah, the bride of King Louis the VII, a king during the time of the Crusades. According to local legend, Louis VII fell in love with Hannah. Not realising that his beloved fiance was a vampire, he (Louis) arranged for a ship to carry her and several of his knights to the Holy Land for the wedding.
The explorer is reading this information on a plaque when a 'priest' comes up behind him and strangles him. He then gestures to a wild-looking man and together they shove the dead guy under the tomb, up to his chin. The priest and the wild man then destroy the legs that are holding up the tomb, which happens to be solid marble. This all happens in the span of the first 10-15 minutes of the movie.

Ok, fast forward probably about a month. The dead guy's son comes to the island to say good bye to his father. He meets this guy Peter and his sister Mary.
A romance between Mary and the son of the dead guy, his name happens to be Chris, soon develops. No surprises there. Any way Chris decides to unseal the tomb so he can move it to retrieve his father's body. Remember, the tomb is solid marble. Hannah comes back to life, kills a couple of people and a blind guy's dog. She kills the dog while in the form of a wolf so she can regain her strength, we find out that Peter was the 'Priest' who killed Chris's father, Chris winds up staking Hannah, after she is reduced to a skeleton by a torch, Peter winds up being staked by one of the islanders, and Hannah winds up not being dead after all, she had put a little girl into a trance earlier in the movie and she apparently turned vampire, only she wasn't a young vampire, she was the 700 year old Hannah in the form of a little girl.

Careful - this is Young Hanna: Queen of the Vampires
See reviews for Hanna: Queen of the Vampires. According to IMDB.com, it's the same movie.

Not Great, But Not Bad Either...
I must confess that I enjoyed many of these films as guilty pleasures in the 60's, 70's and 80's when going to the movies was a much different experiance than it is today. I saw this as HANNAH, QUEEN OF THE VAMPIRES on a double bill with SIMON, KING OF THE WITCHES, both starring Andrew Prine and I believe both filmed back to back and in some of the same locations. Neither film is a classic, but neither film is all bad either. There is a nice use of location photography here and some fairly good suspense. The story is good, if the performances leave something to be desired. For fans of 70's schlock who have only been able to see this film in badly worn prints on video, the DVD will be a revelation. A good pick for Halloween party viewing or for curling up on a dark stormy night.

Hannah - Woman of Few Words
Hannah does not move more than her eyelids for the first hour. After an hour, she gets out of her coffin and walks around a bit - at times opening her mouth slightly, but never speaking (not one word in the whole movie).

The last 10 minutes were okay, but that is only relative to everything up to that point.

If this is a movie you saw/liked as a kid, it might be worth a view (thus, 2 stars). Otherwise, best to avoid this as it is boring and doesn't have even any b-movie draw. ... Read more

Good 70's chiller
Psychic Killer is my favourite 70's B movie. The idea, and story of a killer who does not have to be near is victims, is handled exceptionally well. Jim Hutton is excellent as usual and the supporting cast relish in their roles. One either to buy or to borrow, but you must see it.
