Man to Man, Beast to Beast - S1-E6

Factual error: Hulk rescues Taylor from the icy waters, but Taylor shows no signs of hypothermia afterwards. He should be shivering profusely. Hulk naively tries to cuddle the boy and blow on him, but even if that had the ability to warm him up a little, his wet clothes would still be an issue.

Raw Power - S1-E3

Other mistake: When the Hulk takes down the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicopter, it is shown crashing to the ground with its pilot parachuting to the ground shortly after. However, the pilot was never seen ejecting and the helicopter's cockpit door was still closed when it crashed to the ground.

Raw Power - S1-E3

Deliberate mistake: As usual when the Hulk reverts back into Bruce Banner, he is left wearing nothing but tattered pants. When Mitch McCutcheon sneaks Bruce Banner into the nuclear research facility, Banner is shown wearing his usual outfit of a gray collared shirt tucked into purple slacks that are intact. Given that the Hulk was just in the middle of the Nevada desert, Bruce Banner would be in no position to have a change of clothes on him, and the idea that the top secret facility would have an exact match of his go-to outfit is ludicrous.

Doomed - S1-E7

Other mistake: When the robot shoots the rocket at the helicopter, the pilot jumps out with a parachute merely a split second after the blast. It was a surprise attack, so it's not like the pilot saw it coming.

Doomed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Bruce and Jennifer get into her car to try and escape from the robots, they are both shown putting on their seatbelts. When the shot changes, they are suddenly not wearing seatbelts.

The Return of the Beast: Part 2 - S1-E2

Other mistake: After the Abomination abducts Bruce Banner from the cavern, he causes a complete cave-in at the entrance. When Rick and Betty come to, they are able to see perfectly fine despite the sun being completely blocked out. Rick even states when he and Betty start to remove all the rocks that are blocking the opening that they need to find some blue sky before they can find Bruce.

Suggested correction: A scorpion's pedipalps (their pincers) are not legs. Scorpions and other arachnids have 8 legs and 2 pedipalps.

Wow, you're right. I looked up a bunch of images of scorpions before posting this and somehow all the pictures I saw before posting showed them with 6 legs, but now I'm seeing pictures of them with 8 legs.

The Return of the Beast: Part 2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Thunderbolt Ross is talking about cutting a star out of the Hulk's hide, he is leaning against what remains of a wall after a hole was torn through it. When the shot changes to the Leader watching Ross through his insect drone, the section of the wall that was directly in front of Ross is now missing.

The Return of the Beast: Part 2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When the Hulk is fighting the army helicopters in the desert, the color of the sky and the position of the sun indicate that it is twilight. When the Hulk takes cover in the canyon, the sun is setting at an unrealistically rapid pace. It transitions from twilight to nighttime faster than the helicopters can travel a quarter mile.

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

Other mistake: When Talbot is grilling Banner for his relationship with Betty, when Banner is saying "Someone like you perhaps," the screen briefly constricts and then expands back to normal size, similar to a window on a computer screen being maximized.

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: I believe it was mentioned in an issue of Wizard Magazine that the show was cancelled because of low ratings, and reportedly the show's creative shift in the second season had a part to play in the low ratings, as the changes alienated fans.
