What does HULK and the classic video game DigDug have in common'

Hey folks, Harry here with a Dig Dug style report about the Hulk's movements in San Francisco. I've also heard tale that there will be a major action sequence on the Golden Gate Bridge, which has seen action in SUPERMAN and IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA, but from the looks of things, this'll be the biggest amount of damage that the Bay Area will have seen since Harryhausen unleashed that giant pentopus on it way back in the fifties. Here ya go...

Hey Harry,

Got a couple of scoops for ya on THE HULK since this past week they were filming near to some business functions I was attending. Got to watch them film for a few days...

I'm sure that if you have been following the recent on-line reports you know that Hulky himself goes on a rampage throughout the streets of San Francisco. Yet rather than unleashing a wrecking on everything above ground, the Green One actually gets under the street. Wanted to add my two cents to the whole thing.

Ang Lee and Co, were filming this past week at the top of Montgomery Street where the Hulk runs up hill, underground, hitting his head on the underside of the street bouncing the parked cars in a wave-like fashion as he passes underneath them. As the top of this steep hill he smashes his way through the concrete, flipping an old Volkswagon van which hits the nearby cars. One by one in a domino-like effect the cars slide down the hill, running and bumping into each other. When good ol' Betty (Jennifer Connelly, dressed in a maroon sweater and jeans) sees the 15-foot Hulk (yes, you heard correctly), he relaxes and begins to change back into Dr. Banner. They embrace, completely surrounded by SWAT and National Guard soldiers. Sam Elliot, dressed in Desert-Storm-like garb, approaches them from behind.

People, from what I could tell from the crew, they are very excited to be working on this project and Ang is really putting his whole heart into this film. With the Hulk, along with T3 and a couple of Matrixes thrown in there for good measure, next summer is shaping up to be quite a treat.

These first two shots were by David, the first one is the hole in the ground that the Hulk pops out of, you can see Dennis Muren in the baseball cap with plumes of Metalunan hair coming out, and in the second shot... You'll find a big grey head about 15 feet off the ground, that'll give you an idea of scale for The Hulk... who apparently is about Mighty Joe Young size or slightly bigger...



















This next shot comes from THX CANUTRON and depicts an aerial view of the disaster. Enjoy...










The rest of these come from our pal, Hank Donat, enjoy...

Hi, Harry. These photos of the Hulk shoot in San Francisco are 100% cooler than the ones I sent you last week! The Hulk will burst out from under the street and knock over a cable car. The photos also show the S.W.A.T. trucks, soldier extras, and the guns used to fight the Hulk.

Enjoy the shots - I'd love to see them on Aint-it-Cool.

All the best,

Hank Donat
