Another Path - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When the old Asian lady is hitting the Hulk using a wooden spoon, he is wearing brown pants. After escaping through the window, the Hulk is seen running on the street wearing blue jeans. But for the rest of his transformation he is wearing brown pants again.

Killer Instinct - S2-E9

Revealing mistake: When the Hulk is inside the steam room and he throws his fists through the door, he loses fairly big patches of green make-up on both forearms in the process. (There is no CGI used in this 70s era TV show.)

Escape from Los Santos - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: During his second transformation, David tears his white shirt. When the Hulk is pulling Holly out of the cliff, the white shirt is nowhere to be seen. But when he takes her in his arms, he is wearing the torn white shirt.

Wildfire - S2-E12

Revealing mistake: When Adler fights with David close to the detonator just before his second transformation, the shots are filmed too close. It makes it really obvious that a stuntman is replacing David for most of the fight.

Wildfire - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When Adler moves David into the barrel and loads him into the truck before his first transformation, David's head is at the bottom of the barrel. But when the Hulk emerges from the barrel he is already standing on his feet.

Wildfire - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When Mike is on his balcony with Linda, we see that he is talking to 12 workers. But, in the next shot, a 13th worker wearing an orange hat and an olive green jacket magically appears almost completely to the right. However, when the 12 workers leave the area, the 13th worker cannot be seen anywhere.

A Solitary Place - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When the Hulk throws the tire during his second transformation, the first shot shows a horizontal trajectory but the second shot shows a 45 degree angle trajectory, which makes the tire land much further than expected.

A Solitary Place - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When David is leaving at the end, he is wearing a blue shirt under his coat. Moments later, he removes his coat but he is wearing a different color shirt with a square motif.

A Solitary Place - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When the Hulk throws Mr. Malone in the river during his second transformation, the first shot is too long and we see that he would fall a few feet from the closest river shore. But in the second shot he is flying like crazy and almost lands on the remote river shore.

The Disciple - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: After the Hulk breaks the wall to escape at the end of his second transformation, he is wearing black pants instead of his usual beige pants.

The Disciple - S2-E18

Revealing mistake: When the Hulk is lifting his left foot at the beginning of his first transformation to break free from the "leg shackle", there is a close shot where we should see his toes. But we cannot see them because he is wearing some green pantyhose with brown soles to protect his feet.

Kindered Spirits - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: Before his first transformation, David is wearing a white and blue striped shirt with blue jeans. During his transformation he is wearing a red and blue square motif shirt with brown pants. When fully transformed into the Hulk, he is wearing blue jeans again. But when he's removing the rocks to free the professor seconds later, he is wearing a different kind of brown pants. Finally he's wearing blue jeans again for the rest of this first transformation.

The Confession - S2-E21

Revealing mistake: When the Hulk throws the large bell to break the tower's wall during his second transformation, we can see three cables attached to the bell, most likely used to guide its trajectory.

The Quiet Room - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: While Dr. Morrow is saying, "I did some preliminary tests on David. The limbic system is definitely affected," he is holding a folder containing patient information and a picture. In the next shot the folder contains a different picture with no time to have turned any pages.

The Quiet Room - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: When David is on the hospital bed before his first transformation, he is wearing beige pants. During his transformation he is wearing light blue pants, but when fully transformed into the Hulk he is wearing beige pants again.

Vendetta Road - S2-E23

Continuity mistake: After David's second transformation, we can see the dynamite sticks on the floor, tied with a piece of black tape at the top and another piece of tape much further at the bottom. When the Hulk takes the tied dynamite sticks in his hands, a third piece of black tape appears close to the existing piece on the top of the sticks.

More quotes from The Incredible Hulk

Trivia: Executive Producer Kenneth Johnson wanted to have the Hulk's skin color be red instead of green. His explanation was that red represented anger and green represented jealousy. When telling Stan Lee, creator of The Incredible Hulk about this, Stan Lee said that the Hulk's skin color was green and had to stay green.

More trivia for The Incredible Hulk

Answer: The Hulk is accused of killing Dr. David Banner and Dr. Elenia Marks. After the lab explodes, McGee sees the Hulk emerge carrying the body of Dr. Marks, so he assumed the creature is guilty. It was McGee who caused the explosion. After following the trail of evidence of the Hulk to the lab, he hides when David and Elania arrive. In a darkened storage closet, he knocks over a bottle of flammable liquid. He confronts them, then is forced to leave by Banner, who says, "Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry." When Banner reenters the lab, it explodes, caused by the Hulk when it went on a rampage trashing the lab, causing many electrical systems to catch fire, thus igniting the flammable liquid.

Answer: The phrase "Incredible Hulk" is coined by Jack McGee in one of his tabloid articles. He's trying to find proof of the Hulk because no one takes his story seriously, so probably nobody takes his name for the creature seriously either.
