The Incredible Hulk

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 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.

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.

Innocent Blood - S1-E5

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.

Doomed - S1-E7

Other mistake: This show is in the same continuity as the Fantastic Four series from around the same time. However, in Fantastic Four, Dr. Doom has a German accent, and in this episode, he has a slight British accent.

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.

Fantastic Fortitude - S1-E8

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.

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Other mistake: When Doc Samson attacks the convoy, he begins by bursting his hands out of the asphalt. This is pretty illogical, as for him to be able to wait for the convoy to reach him and then break his hands through the asphalt at the right moment would mean he would have to be inside the road itself, which means there would have to be a void between the layer of asphalt and the surface beneath it large enough for a person to fit inside, which would be a hazard, as the weight of cars passing over would eventually cause this section of the street to collapse.

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Other mistake: When Betty is trying to revive Bruce, a console explodes and a corridor is revealed that soldiers emerge from. It makes no sense for a heavy piece of machinery to be blocking the way into a corridor if blowing up the console is the only means of getting in or out.

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Other mistake: When the Outcasts are launching boulders at the helicopters, they hit one that explodes immediately, and both occupants can be seen emerging from the fireball, safely parachuting to the ground. Even if they were able to jump from the helicopter before it exploded, their proximity to the explosion would have killed them before they had the chance to deploy their parachutes.

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Other mistake: The river that Hulk battles Doc Samson in is only ankle-deep, but when Samson knocks Hulk out with the sonic gun, the river current is able to carry Hulk downstream. Hulk is lying flat on his back, and since the water is only ankle-deep, his back would be touching the floor of the river. In this case, the current of a shallow river would not be able to carry someone of the Hulk's mass.

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Plot hole: When Hulk and Banner have been physically separated by the nutrient bath, they are both wearing tattered pants. Given that Hulk and Banner were previously occupying the same body, this should not be possible. Hulk was the one that went into the nutrient bath, so if Banner's body was separated from Hulk, then Banner should be naked.

Suggested correction: It was done deliberately as a form of censorship. They didn't want to show Bruce's genitals.

Explaining why the mistake occurred doesn't invalidate it. Unless you're suggesting the nutrient bath also was able to duplicate the pants.

I am not. I am just explaining the reason behind this error.

Do you have a source for this explanation? If not, I would call it conjecture and while it doesn't invalidate the mistake, it does change it to a deliberate mistake if true.

You realise a character can be drawn naked without actually showing their genitals (and/or breasts in the case of women), right? The Little Mermaid is a good example of this.

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.
