Mortal Bounds - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Abomination attacks Bruce Banner at the infirmary, he shoots him with a laser blast that leaves a hole in his shirt's chest area. In the next scene after Banner has been taken to Gargoyle's lair, his shirt is no longer damaged. (00:12:45 - 00:13:45)

Fantastic Fortitude - S1-E8

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)

Doomed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When the robot blasts through Jennifer's door, the door is immediately shown to be severely damaged. When Bruce Banner runs towards the robot with a baseball bat, the door is fully intact. When the shot changes, the door is once again demolished.

Innocent Blood - S1-E5

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.

Innocent Blood - S1-E5

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.

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.

Innocent Blood - S1-E5

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.

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.

Doomed - S1-E7

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.

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

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.
