Down Memory Lane - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When Bruce Banner is attacked by Abomination, he is wearing gym shorts that go roughly midway down his thighs. After he has transformed into the Hulk, the now tattered shorts go all the way down to his knees. Hulk is much larger than Banner, so if anything the shorts should look more like a tattered speedo on the Hulk. (00:00:34 - 00:05:38)

Down Memory Lane - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When She-Hulk slams the trash can over Gargoyle, he is by the driver-side door near the hood of the car, and the can is taller than the door. When the shot changes, he is suddenly by the opposite end of the door, near the rear wheel, and the can is drastically shorter. When She-Hulk drives away, he is suddenly further away from the car.

Down Memory Lane - S2-E2

Hulk of a Different Color - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When the gray Hulk picks Gargoyle up from out of his cockpit seat, he picks him up with his left hand, with his upper knuckles towards Gargoyle's body. When the shot changes to Gargoyle saying "Release me," Hulk is holding him with his right hand, and his thumb and fingers are pressed against Gargoyle's body. (00:12:28)

Hulk of a Different Color - S2-E1

Other mistake: When Betty is watching surveillance footage of her father attacking the gray Hulk, the footage is same clips from earlier in the episode, camera angles, shot changes and all. Not to mention it's extremely unlikely she would happen to have surveillance cameras in the exact random area of the desert where the attack happened.

Hulk of a Different Color - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When She-Hulk is holding the stenographer up in the air by her chair, she is holding the chair by its right-rear leg, while standing in front of the third juror from the left. When the shot changes to She-Hulk putting the stenographer down, she is suddenly holding the chair by its left-rear leg, and is now standing in front of the juror on the far right. (00:08:05)

Mission: Incredible - S2-E8

Factual error: When Bruce is tying the rope through the handles of the magnetic devices to prevent falling onto the laser beams, he only loops the rope through the one on the left, he doesn't tie a knot. The moment he started hanging onto the rope, his weight should have pulled it through the handle.

Hollywood Rocks - S2-E6

Factual error: Dr. Doom traps Hulk on an asteroid and sends it hurtling towards the sun, which it reaches in a matter of minutes. The sun is around 93 million miles from the Earth. Even if the asteroid was traveling at one million mph, it would still take nearly 4 days to reach the sun, not merely a few minutes. The same mistake applies for Hulk returning to Earth within a few minutes.

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.
