Quotes
Albert G. Tendelli: I was sighted until I was fourteen. I remember green.
Matt Murdock: You have to believe your eyes, Tendelli, don't you? And I have to believe what you tell me.
Albert G. Tendelli: If I tell you about some giant with green skin, do you believe that? You know what I mean by green?
Matt Murdock: I was sighted until I was 14. I remember green.

Alternate versions
The UK video version was cut by 15 secs by the BBFC to edit shots of a butterfly knife and to remove an ear-clap during a fight scene. The cuts were restored for the 2007 12-rated Starz DVD release.

The Hulk Stays Strong...

Second TV movie after the cancellation of the Incredible Hulk series holds well. In this film Bruce Banner heads to New York still trying to find a cure for his transformation spells into the Hulk. In the process he is arrested for the attempted rape of a young woman in a subway (in fact he actually helped her). He is given Matt Murdock as his lawyer and with the help of his alter-ego Daredevil he sets out to prove his innocence and rescue the woman who has been kidnapped. As part of a plan to release a Daredevil TV show Universal thought it would be good to see if audiences will enjoy Daredevil. Oh well the show never went further than this, but it still is a pretty good original appearance for Daredevil. Followed by The Death of the Incredible Hulk. 3 1/2 OUT OF 5 STARS.
