Hulk (2003)

Corrected entry: Near the end of the movie, when Bruce has been captured by the military, General Ross claims that he will incinerate him on the spot if he shows any signs of transforming again. At this point, Ross is well aware that the change is triggered by anger and/or emotional distress, yet he sits back and does absolutely nothing as Bruce's father works him into a veritable frenzy.

Correction: There's no contradiction here; while Banner Snr is putting Bruce through the wringer, Bruce is upset, but still staying reasonably in control. Ross has ordered the incineration if Bruce shows any sign of transformation - he hasn't, so no incineration. The change only begins after his father has already wrecked the incineration unit.

Hulk (2003)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Bruce is fighting tanks in the desert, in one shot he picks up a tank, twirls it around, and tosses it. Now let's think about that. He would have to get that 60 ton tank moving about 180 MPH to throw it that far away. That would take about 200,000 horse power, roughly the strength of an aircraft carrier. But in the very next shot, he takes the turret of that same tank and hits another with it, making only a moderately sized dent.

Correction: People are capable of using differing levels of strength when performing tasks - the Hulk is no different.

Hulk (2003)

Corrected entry: In the scene where we first meet Betty in the hallway of the laboratory, she seems to have just enough hair to pull up into a small amount on her head , yet by the end of the movie she has long thick beautiful black hair.

Correction: In the early shots, Betty's hair is done up in a complex knot at the back of her head, which would make sense in a laboratory environment. The knot can be seen briefly several times during her conversation with Bruce, and also during the subsequent "exploding frog" experiment. The size of the knot is quite consistent with the amount of hair that she has on those occasions in the film when she wears it down.

Hulk (2003)

Corrected entry: Sam Elliots' mustache is out of limits for military standards. The military standard for a mustache is it will not extend downward beyond the upper lip or extend sideways beyond a vertical line drawn upward from the corner of the mouth. He's good on the first half, but in violation of the second half.

Correction: As a high-ranking officer in charge of a very unusual installation, he's probably granted a certain amount of leeway by his superiors on what is ultimately a very minor matter.

Hulk (2003)

Corrected entry: If Bruce came home as the Hulk the night he first transformed, how were his bike and helmet there in the morning when Betty came over?

Correction: It's not shown that Bruce rode into work that morning - he might have accepted a lift that day.
