Hulk (2003)

Trivia: The face of The Hulk is a computer generated image of Erik Bana, Jennifer Connelly, and director Ang Lee combined into one.

Trivia: All of the Hulks movements, from running to fighting, were done by the director, Ang Lee, wearing a motion capture suit.

Trivia: When Stan Lee first created the Hulk, he wanted the Hulks' skin to be gray just like classic monster movies. When making the first comic of the Hulk, the gray for the Hulk was either too dark or too bright. Stan Lee then decided to use green for the Hulk's skin color since green was not being used for other Marvel superheroes.

Trivia: Stan Lee says that the Hulk was inspired by Frankenstein's monster and Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde.

Trivia: When David Banner is first recognizing his powers in the lab, and is watching his hand become various different textures, the very first skin texture shown resembles that of 'The Thing' from Stan Lee's 'The Fantastic Four.'

Trivia: The powers that David Banner gains match those of The Absorbing Man, a character from Hulk's Rogues Gallery in the comic (though in the comic, he was a convict named Carl "Crusher" Creel).

Trivia: For the 70's TV show, the main character was named David Banner, as Bruce was thought to be too feminine for a leading male's name, but in this movie version, Bruce's father is called David Banner.

Trivia: Originally, the 2008 Marvel Cinematic Universe film "The Incredible Hulk" was written as a direct sequel to this film, but it was ultimately retooled to be a stand-alone reboot. This explains some interesting connections the two films share, not the least of which being that this film ends with Bruce in hiding in South America, while "The Incredible Hulk" opens with Bruce hiding out in Brazil and being discovered. And interestingly enough, if you ignore the prologue sequence and Iron Man cameo at the end of "The Incredible Hulk", they still actually fit together quite well.

Trivia: Stan Lee, who co-created the Hulk, and Lou Ferrigno, who played him in the 70's TV show, have cameos as a pair of security guards in the beginning of the film. Ferrigno later made another cameo as a security guard in the 2008 reboot.

Trivia: The code name "T bolt" of Ross' chopper is a reference to his nickname in the comics: "Thunderbolt"

Trivia: Reportedly, Edward Norton was approached for the role of Bruce Banner, but turned it down. He later went on to star as Bruce in the 2008 reboot "The Incredible Hulk."
