Incredible Hulk

I remember watching Bill Bixby as David Banner, the man who becomes the Big Green Guy when he's angered. The cue was always that his eyes changed color. Why you saw those bright blue eyes, you knew the next thing you'd see would be green muscles splitting clothing seams.

New there's a Big Hollywood Movie out. Does anybody know if the colored contact lenses were custom made for the TV series or the movie? Did Lou Ferrigno wear matching contacts as the Hulk?

Thanks.

I haven't heard anything about special contacts for the latest Hulk movie.

I wonder if it isn't cheaper to simply change the eye color as part of the special effects, instead of buying contact lenses for the actors?

I dunno. I think contact lenses would be easier, unless the actor couldn't tolerate them. I've never gone shopping at Industrial Light and Magic, but I don't think any kind of camera gizmo to change the color of someone's eyes comes cheap.
