On this day in 1989, NBC presented
The Trial of the Incredible Hulk, a telefilm featuring the key characters - and stars, Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno - from the CBS series, T
he Incredible Hulk. In the film, which was directed by Bill Bixby, mild-mannered David Banner is accused of a crime he didn't commit. Banner's lawyer is none other than Matt Murdock, known to Marvel comic fans as Daredevil. Rex Smith co-starred as Daredevil, while John Rhys-Davies (of
Indiana Jones fame) played Daredevil's nemesis, Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin. Legendary comic-book creator Stan Lee makes a cameo in the film, playing a jury foreman. Would the film fit into David Bianculli's recent
"Un-Marvelous" round-up? Sadly, yes.
