Mortal Bounds - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Betty is walking through the infirmary, she is walking past a bedridden man to his left. After he reaches out and grabs her by the arm, the shot changes and she is suddenly on his right.

Fantastic Fortitude - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When the cage is dropped over the Thing, you can see it is a big solid rock slab on top of wooden bars. When the shot changes, the inside of the cage somehow fills up with bananas, even though there was nowhere for them to drop directly into the cage from.

Other mistake: When the forklift driver gets distracted by She-Hulk and crashes into the stack of metal vials full of flammable liquid, Bruce and She-Hulk don't hear any of the commotion until the explosion happens, even though they are only a few yards away. The crash and the falling metal vials should have been loud enough to alert them.

Doomed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Bruce and She-Hulk are hitchhiking, the sign for New York behind them changes size and lettering. When it is first shown, it is significantly taller than both of them with the lettering reading "NeW York" (sic) in a thin and long font type. When the shot changes, the sign is much shorter and the lettering now reads as "NEW York" in a more block-lettering style.

Doomed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When the robot blasts through Jennifer's door, the door is immediately shown to be severely damaged. When Bruce Banner runs towards the robot with a baseball bat, the door is fully intact. When the shot changes, the door is once again demolished.

Doomed - S1-E7

Factual error: The opening shot of this episode incorrectly depicts the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to be located between the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol building. In reality, the reflecting pool is located between the Lincoln Memorial and the World War II Memorial, with the Washington Monument roughly 1/5 of a mile east of the World War II Memorial, and the U.S. Capitol nearly a mile and a half east of the Washington Monument.

Man to Man, Beast to Beast - S1-E6

Deliberate mistake: When Bruce Banner is crawling away from the town that Hulk attacked, he passes out in the snow and is rescued by Sasquatch/Walter Langkowski. When he awakens in Langkowski's lab, he is wearing his usual outfit. Since he was only wearing tattered pants when he passed out, that means his clothes were given to him by Langkowski, which is extremely unlikely since the two hadn't seen each other in a long time and Langkowski didn't even know Bruce was looking for him.

Innocent Blood - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Ghost Rider crashes his motorcycle out of the building with Talbot in tow, he is holding Talbot around his midsection. When the shot changes to them in free fall, he is gripping Talbot by his collar. When they land on the street, he is back to holding him around his midsection.

Innocent Blood - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When the helicopter is put in hover position for Talbot to shoot Hulk with the tranquilizer weapon, you can see that the pilot seat is unoccupied. When the shot changes, Talbot is suddenly in the seat.

Innocent Blood - S1-E5

Revealing mistake: When the Hulk is sitting on the edge of a building, Talbot suddenly appears in a helicopter to ambush him. If you watch closely, you can see the helicopter originates from behind Hulk instead of rising up from behind the building.

Innocent Blood - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Ghost Rider tracks down the Hulk at the salvage yard, he pulls his motorcycle right up to within a couple feet of the fence. When Rick Jones pulls up perpendicular to Ghost Rider, one shot over Ghost Rider's shoulder shows pavement behind Rick instead of a fence. A couple of shots later, the fence is directly behind Rick. Another couple of shots later, Ghost Rider is shown from the back saying "An innocent victim shall suffer" and he is suddenly facing a group of buildings instead of the salvage yard. All remaining shots in the scene place Rick and Ghost Rider back by the fence.

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.
