Trivia

When Stan Lee first created the Hulk, he wanted the Hulks' skin to be gray just like classic monster movies. When making the first comic of the Hulk, the gray for the Hulk was either too dark or too bright. Stan Lee then decided to use green for the Hulk's skin color since green was not being used for other Marvel superheroes. See more...

Continuity: Near the beginning, when Banner arrives at the lab with his helmet on, he removes the helmet when he sees Betty. A close-up of his face is shown and his hair is messy with part of his fringe on his forehead. Betty is shown quickly, then the same shot of Banner is shown again, but this time his hair is perfect.

Continuity: When the dad of the hulk comes to see his son for the "deal" he made to turn himself in to the military. You can see the type of handcuff the dads wearing changes kind two or three times in the scene.

Factual error: The Hulk picks up a tank, swings it around and hurls it about a mile away where it crashes into a sand dune. The impact should have been as strong as a plane crash, but a few shots later, they show one of the tank crewmembers standing casually outside the tank, watching the Hulk. All of the men inside the tank should have been seriously injured from the impact, if not dead.

Factual error: In the scene where General Ross is calling in the desert with a satellite telephone, he is using a Thuraya satellite phone. These phones only have coverage in Europe and a large part of North Africa. Since he is using the phone in the US, the phone shouldn't work there.

Continuity: When Bruce and Betty are in the middle of the desert, Betty walks to the door where Bruce's parents were arguing, he walks to the door and opens it. He looks in but Betty is still looking at Bruce in this shot, yet in the following shot she is looking in the room.

Continuity: In the middle of the film when Bruce is being taken down into the underground facility in the desert, we see guards standing around his container where he is sleeping. Look at the front, and there is a guard in front of the container with his left arm resting on it. Then it cuts to another shot, this guy is no longer in front of the container nor has his arm on it, this happens between shots. (Zoom in is required).

Continuity: Near the end of the film when the Hulk gets up on the cliff side to look at the choppers hovering by him, if you look where he is standing there is a small round rock behind him in this shot, but in all other shots that rock has vanished.

Factual error: When the Hulk is jumping from mountain tops to mountain tops, it is amazing at which speed he falls back on the next mountain. There is nothing wrong with him jumping very quickly at a 20,000 foot altitude (because he is very strong), BUT, the Hulk should not go down faster than a free falling object. Unless he has superman powers, falling from the top of his trajectory to the next mountain top should take something like 2-3 minutes. In other word he should not fall faster than the average skydiver.

Plot hole: When the military is shooting at the Hulk inside the bunker, his skin is shown healing, along with his pants. Regardless of what military enhancements they made to the shorts, there is simply no way they could've made the shorts to seal bullet holes shut instantly.

Audio problem: During the scene where Bruce's father is giving him the green dinosaur toy and the monkey toy and suggests making them have a fight, the boy "Roars" but his lips don't move at all, in fact his mouth is shut.
