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)

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.

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.
