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.

Mission: Incredible - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When Bruce is rappelling down the shaft, at one point he turns his body face down, and you can tell by the rate at which the background is passing by that he is instantly going slower than the previous shot. If anything, his speed should have increased since he's no longer in a position to slow his descent by using his hands to rub against the rope.

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.
