Like A Brother (4 By 3 Version).

In the wake of the 1970s Blaxploitation run of films, Hollywood experimented with putting it’s most iconic characters in films that cashed in on it, often combining genres like James Bond 007’s feature film Live And Let Die not only appeared to be partially inspired by the Blaxploitation genre, but also had a Southern Smokey and the Bandit type touch years before that film was released. They would use that character again in The Man With The Golden Gun. The Incredible Hulk season two episode “Like A Brother” featured Bill Bixby and as the Hulk Lou Ferrigno features a young Ernie Hudson perhaps before or after portraying Half-Dead in Penitentiary 2 in a role very different from what he is known for today. So I took the Hulk out scene toward the end featuring Ernie Hudson and cut it down to one minute. A link to the original source video is in the description. I also posted a cropped cell phone screens version in the shorts section of the channel. Enjoy.
