The Amazing Bulk is a mockbuster movie directed by Lewis Schoenbrun. It takes place in a bizarre green-screen world, where a scientist gets transformed into a bulky purple CGI humanoid. It must be seen to be disbelieved.Dr. Henry "Hank" Howard (played by Jordan Lawson) is a scientist working for the government, directly under General Darwin (Terrence Lording), to create a Super Serum. Hank is eager to prove himself, as he's dating the General's daughter, Hannah (Shevaun Kasti), and believes this will help him earn her father's blessing. Things go awry when Hank tests the serum on himself, transforming into a humanoid monster, the Bulk, and goes on a rampage. Meanwhile, a megalomaniacal scientist named Dr. Werner von Kantlove (Randal Malone) is plotting to blow up the moon, and it soon becomes apparent that the only force that can stop him is the Bulk... | |

Off-the-Shelf FX: One shot of Bulk's hands are actual Hulk Hand toys recolored purple! Almost every background in the final chase scene is clearly taken from some stock animation source. And Bulk himself looks like a standard Poser model with a heavy amount of tweaking. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything?: Hey, doesn't that spacecraft rhythmically inserting and removing a stick-shaped portion of itself into a hole in another spacecraft look sort of like something else? It's kind of subtle. Luckily, the filmmakers understood the audience would have difficulty comprehending this clever gag, so they made the scene go on for invokedthree minutes. | |

Nigh-Invulnerability | |
The Amazing Bulk / int_1f7c89f6 | comment |
Nigh-Invulnerability: The Bulk has this. Normal bullets (fired by either a random mugger or the cops) don't do anything, swords and spears have zero affect, and even when the military is shooting missiles at him it doesn't work. Finally, General Darwin has a nuke dropped on the Bulk, and it seems like he's dead - only for Hank to emerge and reunite with his wife somehow. Finally, Hank and Darwin get into a fight and fall off a ledge, and it seems the Bulk is gone for good, possibly because he was killed in his human-form... but the stinger at the end has him reach out from his grave and smash Ray in the head, meaning he's somehow still kicking around. | |

Downer Ending | |
The Amazing Bulk / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: As laughable as it is, the ending is this. Although the Kantloves both die, Hank is killed in his Bulk-form, and his girlfriend is left mourning his death. General Darwin dies as well, but he still basically got what he wanted with Hank's death, given that he never wanted Hank to marry his daughter and ordered him to be killed to begin with. This leaves Hank's girlfriend with both her boyfriend and her father dead. Ray and Lisa, as ineffective as they are, are arguably less corrupt than Darwin and Kantlove, since they merely want to arrest the Bulk for a murder he committed, and their efforts end up with Lisa killed and Ray becoming a depressed and drunken mess by the end of the film. Even though the Bolivian Army Ending cuts with the Bulk somehow bursting from his grave, implying Hank is alive, it still results in Ray getting his head smashed, likely killing him as well. | |

Corrupted Character Copy: Happens with both the Bulk and Darwin. Unlike the Hulk, the Bulk is an out-and-out villain who just happens to turn his wrath on other bad guys at times. General Darwin is a more corrupt version of General Thaddeus Ross and will do more corrupt actions in contrast to Ross having more of an Anti-Villain nature. | |

Cutaway Gag: After the Bulk breaks through Dr. Kantlove's defenses and kills his guards, he says "This is worse than the time the flying saucer broke down, and that little green alien came to the door asking to use the phone," with visuals illustrating this event. | |

General Ripper | |
The Amazing Bulk / int_a67b86a7 | comment |
General Ripper: General Darwin is an exaggerated example. Goes with General Failure as well; he doesn't seem to mind Dr. Kantlove blowing up the world as he was using him for funding, and only had him killed by the Bulk only because he had no further use for the madman. Most of the destruction from the Bulk is because he wanted the super serum, and had no problems sending his CGI military blowing up everything around them trying to kill the Bulk, including dropping a seemingly unwilling CGI suicide bomber. He seems more concerned with a "deadbeat son-in-law," and accumulating dust in his house; he believes dust bunnies are plotting to take over. | |

For the Evulz: Dr. Kantlove's motivation for nuking most of the world. That or generic villainy. General Darwin seems to have this as a motivation, enacting most of the plot while smiling and laughing evilly. The Air Force Pilot sounds like he gets too much pleasure from dropping a random communist suicide bomber on top of a nuke. | |

Shout-Out | |
The Amazing Bulk / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: There are numerous references to the films of Stanley Kubrick. Most prominently, the name of Dr. Kantlove, the kamikaze communist riding the bomb, and the use of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" in the soundtrack are all homages to Dr. Strangelove. There is also a scene of satellites in space reminiscent of 2001: A Space Odyssey, the use of the William Tell Overture is a reference to A Clockwork Orange, and the name of Dr. Kantlove's assistant is a nod to Kubrick's adaptation of Lolita. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Neither Dr. Kantlove nor Lolita acknowledge the inexplicable CGI monkey playing with a toy rocket in the control room. Later, on the way to Kantlove's castle, Hank casually walks past a leprechaun with a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. The final chase scene tops both of these inexplicable things big time. | |

Chase Fight | |
The Amazing Bulk / int_f0e21c67 | comment |
Chase Fight: 90% of the Bulk's screen time is spent running away from something. Cops chase after him, while he runs around green-screen city, knocking around cars, phone booths, and poles by slightly brushing aside them. At one point he chases after Dr. Kantlove's mooks, killing them by stepping on them. The "epic climactic" scene in the movie is him running all over the CGI world, being pursued by the military, and being attacked by random things like Zeus, Robin Hood, and a pirate ship, while he runs and runs until he runs into a kamikaze communist man riding a nuclear bomb. | |
