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.

Continuity mistake: When Bruce is rappelling down the shaft, at one point he turns his body face down, and you can tell by the rate at which the background is passing by that he is instantly going slower than the previous shot. If anything, his speed should have increased since he's no longer in a position to slow his descent by using his hands to rub against the rope.

Stupidity: When Bruce, Betty and She-Hulk are infiltrating Sea-Base, they do so by docking their submarine on top and sneaking in. For what is supposed to be a top secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base, they surprisingly have no security measures - such as cameras and sensors - to detect when an outside force is in the vicinity.

Other mistake: When the elder Tongzing and Tenzing walk through the bushes, they simply pass through them, the bushes don't react to them moving through. (00:18:50)

Other mistake: When we see Betty being surrounded by the ninjas reflected in the pupil of Bruce's eye, the reflection is not reversed. (00:02:08)

Continuity mistake: When She-Hulk is suggesting she and Bruce go to Rodeo to go shopping, they leave footprints in the sand. When the camera angle changes to a wide aerial shot, their footprints have disappeared. (00:21:14)

Continuity mistake: When the director spits the contract out, it flies up in the air and then falls back to the ground. When the shot changes and he says "It always goes right to their heads," the contract falls from above and bounces off his head.

The Incredible Hulk (1996)
Continuity mistake: Just before She-Hulk shoves the contract in the director's mouth, the clip at the top of it changes from black to white. (00:20:57)

Other mistake: After Hulk re-enters the Earth's atmosphere, his pants are still intact. It's one thing for Bruce Banner's pants to stretch enough to remain in place when he turns into the Hulk. It's another for them to somehow not be burned off in re-entry.

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.

Continuity mistake: When She-Hulk is hang-gliding towards the Hollywood sign, you can see the letter Y is unoccupied. When the shot changes, Hulk is suddenly sitting there. The font style of the letter Y also changes. (00:08:47)

Factual error: She-Hulk stops the runaway truck by holding onto the back of it and letting her feet drag on the asphalt. Afterwards, her high heels are still intact. The friction from stopping the truck would have destroyed her shoes within seconds. (00:06:00)

Continuity mistake: When Hulk throws the robot at Dr. Doom, you can only see a green background behind Doom. When Doom gets back up, you can see a rock wall behind him. (00:04:42)

The Incredible Hulk (1996)
Continuity mistake: When Dr. Doom first walks into the lab, his mouth is open. When the shot changes, his mouth is suddenly closed.

Factual error: When She-Hulk spikes the volleyball into the sand, it leaves a hole. Sand is so densely packed that at best, this would have left a small crater. (00:00:25)

Other mistake: When the Leader and his minions are escaping to the rooftop, the bomb detonator says there are only 30 seconds left. After Leader escapes and Hulk goes back into the building to get the bomb, the detonator says 10 seconds remain. While there is an argument to be made in movies and television not being strict with real time, in this instance, far too much happened onscreen for only 20 seconds to have passed. The heroes confronted the villains, one villain tried to talk a hero into coming with them, the police arrive on the scene, a battle happens on the rooftop, the villains escape with the police in pursuit, etc.

Revealing mistake: When the Gamma Warriors are running towards Hulk on the rooftop, you can see two creases going vertically across the screen, likely from the edges of the animation cells. (00:20:18)
