Other mistake: When Bruce Banner is sitting on the dock and recording his thoughts on a tape recorder, you can see that while his reflection's mouth is moving, his actual jaw is not.

Factual error: The opening shot of the Statue of Liberty shows the statue's left arm to be raised too high. The real statue has its left arm close to its midsection, whereas the statue depicted here has its arm nearly raised to shoulder level. (00:00:01)

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.

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.

Plot hole: After Dr. Doom's robots abduct Jennifer and load her into the aircraft, Hulk hitches a ride all the way to Doom's estate, falling off the aircraft and breaking into the estate before the aircraft has time to land. Despite this, Dr. Doom already has Jennifer secured to an infirmary table and medical machinery by the time Hulk confronts Doom.

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.

Factual error: When Hulk throws the Humvee at the helicopter, the pilot bails just before it explodes and manages to deploy his parachute. The helicopter was hovering roughly 30 feet above some buildings. That's not nearly enough distance for the pilot to have deployed his parachute before he fell onto the roof of one of the buildings.

Man to Man, Beast to Beast - S1-E6
Plot hole: This series is in the same continuity as the other Marvel animated series that aired around the same time - X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man and Fantastic Four - by virtue of each aforementioned show crossing over with at least one of the other shows. However, the portrayal of Sasquatch between this show and X-Men is not consistent. In X-Men, Sasquatch was a mutant and longtime member of Alpha Flight, under the purview of the Canadian government. In this show, Walter Langkowski is a hermit that had only recently become Sasquatch through a gamma experiment gone wrong, and he chooses to exile himself into solitude by episode's end.

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.

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Langkowski presses the play button on Banner's tape recorder, he is pressing on the right side of it. When the shot changes, the buttons are now on the left side of the recorder.

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.

The Incredible Hulk (1996)
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.

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.

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.

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.

Other mistake: When Bruce Banner is attempting to rescue the nun from the fire, a beam falls from the ceiling and hits him in the head, triggering his transformation into the Hulk. Just before he starts his transformation, a set of green glowing eyes appear above his head. It appears the animators didn't properly sync the glowing eyes onto Banner's face.

The Incredible Hulk (1996)
Continuity mistake: When Bruce Banner is in the soup kitchen, he is seated in a chair next to the one at the end of the table. In the shot just before the explosion, he is getting out of his chair, which is now the one at the very end of the table.

Helping Hands, Iron Fist - S1-E4
Revealing mistake: When Iron Man appears on the screen in the Hulkbuster armor, if you look at the background behind him, there is a closed door behind him to his right and a control panel directly behind him, which means he appeared from out of nowhere.

Helping Hands, Iron Fist - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Early in the Hulk's fight with Iron Man, he punches Iron Man onto the hood of a red car and then throws a blue car at him. Iron Man disappears from the screen as soon as the blue car hits the red car, and then can be seen either back on the hood, or instantly inside the car. If he is still on the hood, then he disappears from the screen once again when Hulk throws the car.
