was it ever explained why the hulk had such little dialogue in this movie?i mean not only is there no final hulkout in this movie but the scenes with the hulk are very short the subway hulkout seemed to be over quickly then we dont see the hulk until the dream that he changes into the hulk in court then when he wakes he changes into the hulk but we do not see anything except his eyes for like 2 seconds then the last hulkout where he saves daredevil was very short and its the last time we see the hulk in the movie.was lou ferrigno only available for a short amount of time filming this movie?it just seems like the hulk got very little dialogue in this movie and i was wondering if it was ever mentioned why in any interviews with lou ferrigno or bill bixby.if anyone has any info please let me know.thanks

"Dialogue" may be the wrong term...
but yeah, I was also wondering why there was
so little of the Hulk in this one. Especially
during the big final raid on Fisk Tower.
The prison scene was a bit of a let down,
as we only got to see the results of the rampage
and not the actual rampage itself. A way to save
some SFX bucks sure, but very disapointing.
At least we had the courtroom hulk-out which,
despite being a dream, was one of the best sequences
in the series.

Hulk doesn't talk. So, the Hulk wouldn't have dialogue. The term you mean is "screen time". The Hulk had very little screen time in this film which I agree. No final hulk-out, very little screen time except for the court room scene.
