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

Continuity mistake: When Banner is strapped to the chair and trying to resist transforming into the Hulk, the extent to how much he has transformed varies. Some shots will show his hands and head becoming larger, and the next shot will show him to instantly be back to normal proportions.

Mission: Incredible - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When Betty and Gabe Jones are talking in the end, there is a brick wall in the immediate background. A few shots later when Betty greets her father, the wall is nowhere to be seen and the room is considerably deeper. (00:20:15)

Mission: Incredible - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When Bruce is rappelling down the shaft, at one point he turns his body face down, and you can tell by the rate at which the background is passing by that he is instantly going slower than the previous shot. If anything, his speed should have increased since he's no longer in a position to slow his descent by using his hands to rub against the rope.

Hollywood Rocks - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When the director spits the contract out, it flies up in the air and then falls back to the ground. When the shot changes and he says "It always goes right to their heads," the contract falls from above and bounces off his head.

Fashion Warriors - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When She-Hulk and Bruce's limo is approaching the building, you can see the car slowing to a stop. When the shot changes to inside the limo, you can tell by the light glares passing by the window behind Bruce that the limo is now moving faster.

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.
