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.

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.
