The Incredible Hulk

Doomed - S1-E7

Other mistake: This show is in the same continuity as the Fantastic Four series from around the same time. However, in Fantastic Four, Dr. Doom has a German accent, and in this episode, he has a slight British accent.

Mission: Incredible - S2-E8

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.

Hollywood Rocks - S2-E6

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.

Fashion Warriors - S2-E5

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.

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.
