Blu-ray Review: The Incredible Hulk (2008) - Page 2

Part of: The Wild Blu Yonder

A commentary from Louis Leterrier and Tim Roth starts off your extras experience. This is followed by nearly 50 minutes of deleted scenes (26 of them in total) including an alternate opening that was wisely cut, but it’s worth watching now. The Making of Incredible is the key making-of feature, although the menu shamelessly promotes Volkswagen to get to it. It’s decent, with lots of footage from set, but its self-congratulatory style isn’t fun.

Four featurettes focus on specific aspects of filming, including the visual effects of both creatures. Universal’s U-Control is as annoying as ever, offering a pointless dossier feature and some comic book art while you watch. Finally, BD-Live includes the usual downloadable trailers, and also a MyChat feature. However, you can’t simply jump into a room and start chatting. You need to know someone with the disc and set up a time to watch. It’s a nice concept to text chat while you watch, but it’s quite limited in its execution.

Both stars of the original Incredible Hulk TV series make cameos. Bill Bixby is shown on TV during a clip of Courtship of Eddie’s Father, and Lou Ferrigno plays a security guard. Less obviously, Ferrigno also voices the Hulk here.
