The Incredible Hulk mistake picture

Down Memory Lane - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When She-Hulk is telling her parents that Bruce will help her, we see the Hulk sitting in the treehouse with his left leg sticking through the floor, and his left arm near the doorway. When the shot changes to inside the treehouse, his left leg is perched on the floor, and he is several feet away from the doorway. (00:08:49)

Down Memory Lane - S2-E2

Character mistake: When the woman is looking at the high school photo of She-Hulk at the high school reunion, she says "Oh, look. Remember her? Jennifer something or other." You can see that her full name is written directly underneath the photo, so there's no reason why the woman would look at the photo and not know what Jennifer's last name is.

Down Memory Lane - S2-E2

Factual error: She-Hulk's license plate reads "GAMMA-GRL." She's from Washington DC and now resides in New Mexico. Both places have a limit of seven characters on a license plate. It can't be a vanity plate either, because both places also require front and rear plates.

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.

Mind Over Anti-Matter - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Dark Hulk arms the nuclear warhead, the orientation of the timer is the same as the control buttons. When Banner disarms the warhead, the orientation of the timer is now upside down respective to the control buttons. (00:18:00 - 00:20:26)

Mind Over Anti-Matter - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: After the alien entity has been purged from Bruce Banner's body, he is on all fours and tilts his head back, with the warhead behind him. When the shot changes, his head is pointing forward again and the warhead is now directly in front of him. (00:20:15)

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.

Mind Over Anti-Matter - S2-E3

Factual error: When the Dark Hulk is attacking the city and destroys a helicopter, the occupants can be seen with their parachutes already deployed immediately after the helicopter has exploded. Not only would they not have had enough time to already be parachuting to safety, but given that the helicopter was only a few stories high in the air, they wouldn't have had time to safely deploy their parachutes in the first place.

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.
