Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Doc Samson kicks through the cab wall of the vehicle that is transporting the Hulk, he leaves a hole roughly the size of his leg, and the appearance of the damage suggests he kicked through metal. A couple of shots later, the hole is large enough for a person to fit through, and the appearance of the damage suggests it is now broken glass. (00:19:56)

Darkness and Light: Part 3 - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Ross is threatening Banner with a gun, there is a shot that shows Banner frozen in place and the camera zooms out to show that the shot was reflected from the pupil of Ross' eye. Since it was a reflection, the flower on Banner's robe should have been on the viewer's left since the actual Banner has the flower on the viewer's right. (00:13:32)

Continuity mistake: When Doc Samson tackles the new Rick Jones-Hulk hybrid and knocks over the cylinder for the nutrient bath, Banner spills out, and you can see he is wearing shoes. A few moments later when Banner begins to run outside, he is suddenly barefoot. (00:19:44 - 00:20:10)

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)

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)

Down Memory Lane - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When She-Hulk is reading the invitation to her high school reunion, she is holding the letter with both hands. When Bruce Banner walks into the lobby and asks her if his package has come in, she is suddenly holding the package he is asking about and is no longer holding the invitation. (00:00:25)

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.

Doomed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Jennifer Walters is first introduced, her fingernails are unpolished. Later when she is restrained in Dr. Doom's lair, her fingernails alternate between being painted pink and red. Given that she and Bruce were running for their lives, she wouldn't have had time to paint her nails. Later when she transforms into She-Hulk, her fingernails turn green with the rest of her body, but if her fingernails were painted, they should still appear that color, as her skin and hair turning green wouldn't magically remove nail polish.

The Return of the Beast: Part 1 - S1-E1

Trivia: When we see the flashback of the accident that caused Bruce Banner to become the Hulk, at first we see the Hulk colored gray and then slowly turn green. This is a reference to the comics, in which the Hulk was gray in his original appearance.

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.
