The Incredible Hulk

Hollywood Rocks - S2-E6

Other mistake: After Hulk re-enters the Earth's atmosphere, his pants are still intact. It's one thing for Bruce Banner's pants to stretch enough to remain in place when he turns into the Hulk. It's another for them to somehow not be burned off in re-entry.

Fashion Warriors - S2-E5

Other mistake: When Bruce Banner is loosening his bow tie, he says it's cutting off the circulation to his head. If you look closely, you can see that it was loosely wrapped around his neck to begin with.

Fashion Warriors - S2-E5

Other mistake: The reporter in the opening scene mentions that the Chateau de Shae is 80 floors. The camera then pans up the entire length of the building, and you can see it is nowhere near 80 floors high. It's only roughly half that size.

Fashion Warriors - S2-E5

Other mistake: When Lou Ferrigno is walking away from the reporter, his movement suggests that he is walking on a downward slope, even though he is on level ground. He also disappears into thin air just before he would have stepped out of view.

Mind Over Anti-Matter - S2-E3

Other mistake: When Dark Hulk lifts up the middle army tank, he rotates the tank towards the two tanks on either side of it and fires the tank gun at both of them. Since he's holding the tank from the bottom, he has no way of controlling the tank gun, and there's no reason the tank's gunner would fire on his own men.

Down Memory Lane - S2-E2

Other mistake: When She-Hulk walks into her parents' house, they are shocked to discover her appearance. She-Hulk's identity as Jennifer Walters is public, as she is still a trial lawyer, and the previous episode showed that she has celebrity status. We know she and her parents aren't estranged, because moments before she tells the Hulk that they know about him, which she could only know if she kept in contact with them, so there's no conceivable way they could have been unaware of her transformation as well.

Down Memory Lane - S2-E2

Other mistake: When She-Hulk is climbing the tree to speak to the Hulk inside the treehouse, you can see the doorway to the treehouse is barely large enough for her to fit through, so there's no way the Hulk could have fit through without damaging it. (00:06:06)

Hulk of a Different Color - S2-E1

Other mistake: When Betty is watching surveillance footage of her father attacking the gray Hulk, the footage is same clips from earlier in the episode, camera angles, shot changes and all. Not to mention it's extremely unlikely she would happen to have surveillance cameras in the exact random area of the desert where the attack happened.

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Other mistake: When Doc Samson attacks the convoy, he begins by bursting his hands out of the asphalt. This is pretty illogical, as for him to be able to wait for the convoy to reach him and then break his hands through the asphalt at the right moment would mean he would have to be inside the road itself, which means there would have to be a void between the layer of asphalt and the surface beneath it large enough for a person to fit inside, which would be a hazard, as the weight of cars passing over would eventually cause this section of the street to collapse.

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Other mistake: When Betty is trying to revive Bruce, a console explodes and a corridor is revealed that soldiers emerge from. It makes no sense for a heavy piece of machinery to be blocking the way into a corridor if blowing up the console is the only means of getting in or out.

Doomed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Jennifer Walters is first introduced, her fingernails are unpolished. Later when she is restrained in Dr. Doom's lair, her fingernails alternate between being painted pink and red. Given that she and Bruce were running for their lives, she wouldn't have had time to paint her nails. Later when she transforms into She-Hulk, her fingernails turn green with the rest of her body, but if her fingernails were painted, they should still appear that color, as her skin and hair turning green wouldn't magically remove nail polish.

The Return of the Beast: Part 1 - S1-E1

Trivia: When we see the flashback of the accident that caused Bruce Banner to become the Hulk, at first we see the Hulk colored gray and then slowly turn green. This is a reference to the comics, in which the Hulk was gray in his original appearance.

More trivia for The Incredible Hulk

Answer: The Hulk is a giant brute who smashes everything in his path when he is angry. In Ang Lee's "Hulk," General Ross, played by Sam Elliot, explains it to his daughter.

Answer: Because he feels the Hulk is a threat to all life on Earth, and particularly his daughter's close relationship with Bruce Banner puts her at risk when Hulk enters the equation.

Phaneron

Why does Ross think the hulk is a threat?

Because the Hulk is nearly mindless and goes on destructive rampages with high risk of collateral damage.

Phaneron

If that's the case, what's the problem with the way general Ross judges the hulk?

It's nuanced. Ross is correct to recognize the potential danger the Hulk presents, but he's also too stubborn to realise that he usually exacerbates the Hulk's rampages by trying to engage him in combat instead of trying to calm him down.
