Trial of the Incredible Hulk
Lou Ferrigno and Bill Bixby meet Daredevil. It's not just a made for TV movie. It's a backdoor pilot for what would have been a strange and terrible Daredevil TV show.

Reasons to riff:
-The way in which Matt Murdock is inspired to take on the name Daredevil: he overhears the chief of police telling reporters that "Some kind of a crazy Daredevil, if you will" could stop the criminals, and the delivery is so forced you almost expect him to follow up with "HINT, HINT, MURDOCK!"
-John Rhys-Davies as Kingpin is a delight. He chews the scenery like a cow chews cud and employs a multitude of Bond villain gadgets. He easily makes up for the movie's slower bits.
-The titular trial. It goes about as well as you'd expect: Banner's on the stand, he Hulks out due to stress, flips tables, breaks Murdock's cane, chokes out the prosecutor...and then wakes up. WAKES. UP. The scene that inspired the title of the movie is a fargin' DREAM SEQUENCE! That's even dumber than a Hulk movie where Banner just stares at ponds and broods over his Daddy issues!
