Mistakes

In the motel room, Betty gives Bruce a new heart monitor watch, still in its box. In a subsequent shot, the box has disappeared and Bruce is putting the watch on. The cut to Betty and back is too fast for him to have taken the watch out and junked the box. See more...

Trivia

Aside from Lou Ferrigno appearing in the film, there are other nods to the TV series such as the piano song about 1/4 of the way through the film(when Dr Banner is walking the streets) and when Dr Banner and Dr Ross steal the truck, its a 70's model F-150 which Dr Banner also drove in the TV series, albeit a different colored one.

The Hulk gets shot at thousands of times at the College and is bombed and also burnt by an exploding helicopter and seems unhurt. When he escapes to the caves, he is startled by Betty Ross and bumps his head on the roof of the cave, to which he rubs his head and looks hurt. surely this would be the least painful thing for the Hulk? [One could argue that with the super-strength of his own body being what forced hid head into the cave ceiling, it would hurt as much as anything could hurt him. Also, he wasn't in a rage at the time, ignoring the little stings and pains of being attacked.]

In the soda bottling factory Banner slices a nasty gash into the side of his thumb. That night when he is loading a slide onto his microscope you can see that the cut is completely gone. He did not change into the Hulk between the two events; the laceration should still have been there. [Part of the Hulk's abilities is regeneration and healing. Banner doesn't need to transform to heal.]
Edit
When the Hulk and the girl fall asleep in the cave after a night of hard rain it appears as if the Hulk is extremely dirty. The next morning the Hulk awakes as Bruce and he has no dirt on his body at all, even though he's in a dirty cave. Immediately after that he's sitting waiting for his girl to get to the hotel and his feet and body are extremely dirty. Especially look at his feet in the cave. [He is infact in the rain, dirt will not stay on anyone or thing in the rain. When he reverts back we only see the part of his body that is not directly on the dirt. It then cuts to the scene at the motel, there would be time between these scenes where they would have to walk to the motel, which explains the dirt on his feet. We do not see his body cause he is covered up.]
Edit
When the Hulk is being bombarded by the sonic waves, there is a soldier in the background that crouches down. Then it cuts to a shot of General Ross, watching the Hulk. When it cuts back to the Hulk, the soldier is back up again, and crouches back down. This is obviously replayed film. [When it goes back to the Hulk you don't see any soldiers, due to it being a close up.]
Edit
When the Hulk is fighting the military on the college grounds it is a bright sunny day, but when he takes down the helicopter it's all of a sudden dark and raining? [Just before the fight, when they fire the gas canisters at Bruce, you can see storm clouds in the back and lighning strikes. the fight takes long enough for the clouds to come over them and to start the downpour.]
Edit
Even minutes after when the Abonimation has started his rampage in the street, you see people still running around in the street, only to be hit by the Abonimation or dodge it in the last second. Should not they have had enough time to clear the street? [Some people are too stupid to head to safety. They'd rather see what's going on and their curiosity gets the better of them. This sort of thing happens in real life, only with things like tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, building collapses, mad gunmen in the streets, etc.]

When Blonsky is seen wearing his uniform, it's visible he has not shaved his face for days. Quite unthinkable for the military - be it American or British. [Unless he came directly from a covert operation in a combat zone, where military protocol is more relaxed. A man in his position would be very likely to be out in the field most of the time.]

When Banner is in Mr. Blue's office in New York for the experiment, you can see a black cable coming out from under his wig in the back. As he goes through the changes to become the Hulk and raises his head, you can see the cable which is to pump air into the face apparatus that transforms/distort Banners face. [Banner's hooked up to monitors, to keep an eye on the changes that he's going through. As such, it's hardly unreasonable that there would be cables running to his body.]

When Bruce Banner ("Mr. Green") is chatting with "Mr. Blue" he receives a message, and on the screen it says "Encrypting". It should, of course, say "Decrypting". [Nope, completely wrong. If Bruce was receiving an encrypted e-mail, then "Decrypting" would be the correct term, but he isn't. He and Mr Blue are using an encrypted chat system. As such, before they can chat, the necessary encryption protocols have to be set up, so "Encrypting" seems entirely appropriate.]

When the army locates Bruce in Brazil, he is warned by his dog when it starts barking. Bruce was clearly asleep, and his chasing down continues all day long, as we see some scenes where the sun is rising, then at midday when there are children in the streets, and finally at night when he comes across the guy at the soda factory. [Bruce is asleep because he's tired after work. It's late in the day - the sun is setting, not rising and we never see a shot that can be identified as midday. The chase simply runs from early evening into nightfall.]

When Bruce says they shouldn't do anything that can be traced, like credit cards or cell phones, the army is saying the same thing, that he's too smart to get caught. And then he sends an unencrypted, insecure email with all of the data he got from the USB drive. This alerts the authorities and they're off to New York. Bruce and Betty end up meeting Mr.Blue, so what was the point of sending an extremely insecure, traceable email if they could've just handed the USB drive to the guy? [Bruce is using an e-mail address that he thinks is entirely unconnected to him. As such, it would be foolish to add encryption, which could just draw attention to the e-mail if it were intercepted. As it is, it just seems like technical data being passed between scientists, which happens all the time. Bruce sent the data before the meeting was finalised - ergo, at the time, he didn't know that he'd be able to just hand it over.]

Near the start of the movie, in Brazil, I believe Bruce is studying Spanish and the people are speaking Spanish. Brazilians speak Portuguese. [His study book says Portuguese.]

Intentionally or not (and very ironically either way), prominently visible in the background during the final fight between the Abomination and the Hulk is a store called "The Harmony Furniture Store". [If something's prominently visible in a film, then it doesn't need to be pointed out here.]

The British Marine officer is walking beside the General, both are in dress blues. A British officer would never slouch, he would be walking ramrod straight. Also, I would swear, they were wearing identical uniforms. [This is an opinion. Please provide evidence that no British officer would never, under any circumstances, walk in anything other than a ramrod straight posture and resubmit. As for the uniform issue, already submitted and corrected.]

Bruce is seen wearing a Polar HRM in a couple of scenes (such as when he is in bed with Betty) but there is no transmitter strap around his chest, so how does the HRM pick up his heart rate? [This model requires no transmitter belt: http://www.polarusa.com/Products/aw/aw200.asp.]

Blonsky is referred to as being from the Royal Marines but wears a US military uniform throughout the entire movie. This would not happen. [It could happen if he'd been seconded to the US unit, if the intent was for him to fit it with his compatriots. Which is exactly what's happened...]

The Incredible Hulk's eyes change thoughout the movie from a very pale green to dark and even to yellow at one point. [Okay, so you've pointed that out. Now explain why that's a mistake, because, given the mucked-up nature of Banner's physiology, it doesn't seem unreasonable that his eyes might vary in colour.]
