During the creation of Abomination, the doctor performing the procedure gets some infected blood in a cut on his head and his head starts to pulsate. This looks like it will be a set up for the Leader to appear. The Leader is a character with enhanced brain power but ordinary strength.

When Bruce is browsing through Betty Ross's files, we can briefly glimpse a file name with something to the effect of "animal webbing in human subjects". A nod to Spider-Man, perhaps?

Not only is STARK enterprises used, i.e. Iron Man, but Nick Fury, another Marvel hero, is mentioned on a piece of paper. Nick Fury is played by Samuel L. Jackson in Iron Man, so maybe another hint at Avengers, as Nick Fury is an agent of SHIELD.

In the scene in the hotel Betty throws Bruce a pair of large purple shorts she has bought. This is a nod to the comic where the Hulk always wore large purple shorts.

When Bruce receives Betty's necklace in the mail, the package is addressed to David B. The name David Banner was used in the The Incredible Hulk TV series when it was decided the name Bruce would lead people to think the character was homosexual.

In addition to the large purple stretchy shorts already mentioned, Betty came back with a lumberjack style shirt, which she put on herself - a nod to the TV series where David Banner often wore one of these ahead of the rip scenes.

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.

At one point in the movie, when Bruce is walking on the streets at night, a song which has been popularly called Lonely Man is heard playing. This is the same song that was used at the end of every episode of the TV series The Incredible Hulk which starred Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno.

When Gnl. Ross is in the cooling cell to get the super soldier stuff for Blonsky, on the lid of that specific container, it says, "Developed by: Dr. Reinstein." This is the alias of Dr. Erskine, who made Captain America.

The filmmakers decided to make the production environmentally-friendly, using hybrid vehicles on set, zero-or-low VOC paint and locally-sourced yellow pine to build the sets, among other measures. As such, it became the first blockbuster film to receive the Environmental Media Association's Green Seal, which is displayed during the end credits.

Near the end of the film, Bruce Banner falls from a helicopter, transforming into the Hulk just before hitting the ground. This is a reversal of a scene from the TV movie "The Death of the Incredible Hulk" in which the Hulk falls from an airplane, transforming back into Banner just before hitting the ground.

In the opening credits, a list of names is seen as being Bruce's known associates. One of the names is Rick Jones. In The Incredible Hulk comics, Rick Jones drove out onto the weapons testing site on a dare. Bruce saved his life, but that sacrifice caused Bruce to become the Hulk.

Bruce Banner is inexplicably called Bob for several issues of The Hulk comic books. This was a mistake on the part of Stan Lee who had a hard time remembering his characters names, presumably because he drew several superhero comic book series at the same time. It was later revealed that Bruce Banner's full name is Robert Bruce Banner.
