I liked the second one from '747' when David's flying the plane. That one rocked. Also, the hulk out when David's got that straight jacket on. Ooh, and the one from 'My Favorite Magician' kicked ass, too. You know, when David's trapped in that torture chamber thing.

Okay, I think it was the Vegas episode, Banner gets crap kicked out of him and is thrown down a dark flight of stairs. The bad guy is standing at the top of the stairs, then the green guy comes charging up out of the darkness and starts a'smackin!

My Favorite Magician

747

Metamorphosis

A Death in the Family

Dark Side

The first metamorphosis he had in the pilot.When he is changing the tire of his car under the electric storm is hard to beat.In my own opinion of course:)

One of the more interesting "Hulk-outs" was in the episode "Long Run Home."
Not only does the Hulk burst out of his shirt, but he also splits a motorcycle
helmet in half.

:lol: That one is cool.

Slightly off topic but "the funniest" Hulk Out has to be when trying to use a pay phone he exclaims "I DON'T HAVE A QUARTER!" when prompted by an operator to deposit more coins.. now I ask is that really cause for Hulking out? Then again pay phones could be frustrating, lol.

The acid trip Hulk Out in METAMORPHOSIS was pretty cool. I also liked the first Hulk out in PROMETHEUS part 1 as well as the first one in DARK SIDE.

TV Guide did an interesting behind-the-scenes article about that "Hulk-out" in "Prometheus." Not having the benefit of Computer Generating Imaging
(CGI) like they do today, they had to film the scene with David and the angry
bees the hard way:

[The Incredible Hulk] .. contains some of the most exciting adventures
ever encountered by special-effects wizard Alan Cassidy.

Of the more than 1000 "inserts" he directed, none was more challenging than
the bee scene.

David Banner walks urgently toward a monster meteor that has just dropped
from the sky. Fearful but curious, he moves closer to investigate. The radiation from the rock upsets his delicate body chemistry and sends him
staggering away. Confused and disoriented, he falls near a downed tree.
His hand lands on a fallen beehive. David lurches back; the air is suddenly
alive with attacking bees. There's no escape. The swarming insects are into
his clothing and on his face, stinging wildly. David screams in helpless agony.
His eyes turn white! The metamorphosis begins. David's shirt, his pants seams
split, his boots burst open, totally freeing the creature who rises triumphantly,
lifts the swarming hive and tosses it effortlessly into infinity. The bees should've known better ...

Banner's hand in the hive, his ripping clothes, the airborne hive and even the
attacking bees were shot as "inserts," so named because they were filmed
and inserted into the completed show long after the cast and crew had gone
home.

When he filmed this scene, Bill Bixby's hand never came close to the real bees.
He safely swatted empty air. The only bees around were a few plastic impostors glued to his face. Later, far from the forest where the meteor
landed, a basic crew of five men and a "photo-double" for Bixby's hand
created the insert.

To show David surrounded by real bees required the construction of an 8-foot-square "bee cage." Except for a Plexiglas front and rear walls, the cage
was totally screened. Behind the rear wall was a brightly lit white backdrop in
sharp contrast to the cage's dimly lit interior. What the camera saw through
the transparent front wall was 30,000 swarming bees silhouetted against a
white backdrop. That footage was later superimposed optically over David's
scene to create the illusion of an actual bee attack.

Almost as complicated was the shot of David's hand falling into an active
beehive. The bees were real, but their stingers had been painstakingly removed beforehand by Fred Hesper, a German-born beekeeper who had done similar chores for the film "The Swarm." Hesper subjected thousands of bees
to a refrigerated room. Once the bees became lethargic, Hesper and his
assistants clipped their stingers with scalpels--one at a time.

With the cooperation of a queen bee, the "fixed bees" were placed on a fake
hive where Paul LeClair, the "hands" of Bill Bixby in inserts, bravely placed his
hands for several "takes." The bees reacted angrily, but were as helpless as
David Banner in a fist-fight.

In the same article, TV Guide magazine goes on to describe another
episode that required a unique "insert" ...

Another Hulk episode had renegade bikers breaking camp to escape approaching police. David was beaten up by the bad bikers. "David's shirt, of
course, was supposed to rip open," [says FX wizard Alan Cassidy], "but someone on the staff thought it would also be fun to see the helmet he was wearing split apart. We took David's helmet, jigsawed it up the middle and split it in half. It was then carefully glued back together and repainted to cover the cut. A green Hulk wig was placed over a rubber air bag. The helmet
was fitted over the wigged air bag, which was connected to an air compressor. On cue, air filled the bag, splitting the helmet along its predetermined path, revealing the Hulk's head." It became Cassidy's favorite
"Hulkout."

"Hulkout" was a term coined by the staff to indicate the Hulk's peculiar method of expressing anger. A key player in their Hulkouts was Lou Ferrigno's
stunt double, Manny Perry, a black bodybuilder and 1977's Mr. America. While
Ferrigno performed many of his own stunts, Perry did the more dangerous
ones, as well as inserts involving the popular shirt rips, which were accomplished by "scoring" the shirts (perforating the material with a razor
blade) and shooting (slow-motion) Perry flexing his muscles. Shirts were easy.
A Navy peacoat was harder. A straitjacket was nearly impossible. Razor
blades failed. The resilient material finally succumbed to sulfuric acid that
weakened the fabric sufficiently for Perry to tear out of it.

"In 81 episodes we Hulked-out (twice per show) on land, in and under water,
in midair, car trunks and engines, garbage dumpsters--just about everywhere
but the office of the CBS executive who cancelled us," said Alan Cassidy.
"It's no wonder David Banner got angry. He had been (in alphabetical order):
beaten; bitten by rats, snakes and spiders; bombed; burned; chained; clubbed; crushed; gassed; punched; run over; shocked; shot; and smothered;
and had suffered the ultimate pain: sagging ratings."

"The Incredible Hulk averaged nearly 20 inserts per show, but one insert
we never saw was inside David's ever-present duffel bag, which contained the
world's largest wardrobe collection in the smallest space. Where else did he
get two fresh changes of clothes every week?" -- Alan Cassidy, TV Guide

Season 2 episode 20. "The Confession" Markie Post is in the Bell tower trying to rescue a guy who is threatening to jump to his death. David is trapped there because he was asking the guy some questions but couldn't get away fast enough to avoid being seen. McGee pulls up in his car is on the ground outside and David doesn't want to be seen by him. So the Bell in the tower rings and is so loud that it makes David Hulk up. The Hulk walks over to the Bell, rips it from the roof, and throws it off the balcony onto the street while Markie is looking on in shock.

my favorite were he works for school AS A janitor he finds out this this kid dads been beating his son then his son goes to school then his dad comes into the school gym then he punches David then he turns into the hulk he kicks the crap out of his kids dad it was funny, I also like the one were he's working with this rocker chick then he's using that machine but then David gets squashed buy the crowed then he turns into the hulk smashing all the special effects on the stage.
