The Incredible Hulk

Hollywood Rocks - S2-E6

Other mistake: After Hulk re-enters the Earth's atmosphere, his pants are still intact. It's one thing for Bruce Banner's pants to stretch enough to remain in place when he turns into the Hulk. It's another for them to somehow not be burned off in re-entry.

Fashion Warriors - S2-E5

Other mistake: When Bruce Banner is loosening his bow tie, he says it's cutting off the circulation to his head. If you look closely, you can see that it was loosely wrapped around his neck to begin with.

Fashion Warriors - S2-E5

Other mistake: The reporter in the opening scene mentions that the Chateau de Shae is 80 floors. The camera then pans up the entire length of the building, and you can see it is nowhere near 80 floors high. It's only roughly half that size.

Fashion Warriors - S2-E5

Other mistake: When Lou Ferrigno is walking away from the reporter, his movement suggests that he is walking on a downward slope, even though he is on level ground. He also disappears into thin air just before he would have stepped out of view.

Mind Over Anti-Matter - S2-E3

Other mistake: When Dark Hulk lifts up the middle army tank, he rotates the tank towards the two tanks on either side of it and fires the tank gun at both of them. Since he's holding the tank from the bottom, he has no way of controlling the tank gun, and there's no reason the tank's gunner would fire on his own men.

Down Memory Lane - S2-E2

Other mistake: When She-Hulk walks into her parents' house, they are shocked to discover her appearance. She-Hulk's identity as Jennifer Walters is public, as she is still a trial lawyer, and the previous episode showed that she has celebrity status. We know she and her parents aren't estranged, because moments before she tells the Hulk that they know about him, which she could only know if she kept in contact with them, so there's no conceivable way they could have been unaware of her transformation as well.

Down Memory Lane - S2-E2

Other mistake: When She-Hulk is climbing the tree to speak to the Hulk inside the treehouse, you can see the doorway to the treehouse is barely large enough for her to fit through, so there's no way the Hulk could have fit through without damaging it. (00:06:06)

Hulk of a Different Color - S2-E1

Other mistake: When Betty is watching surveillance footage of her father attacking the gray Hulk, the footage is same clips from earlier in the episode, camera angles, shot changes and all. Not to mention it's extremely unlikely she would happen to have surveillance cameras in the exact random area of the desert where the attack happened.

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.

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Plot hole: When Hulk and Banner have been physically separated by the nutrient bath, they are both wearing tattered pants. Given that Hulk and Banner were previously occupying the same body, this should not be possible. Hulk was the one that went into the nutrient bath, so if Banner's body was separated from Hulk, then Banner should be naked.

Suggested correction: It was done deliberately as a form of censorship. They didn't want to show Bruce's genitals.

Explaining why the mistake occurred doesn't invalidate it. Unless you're suggesting the nutrient bath also was able to duplicate the pants.

I am not. I am just explaining the reason behind this error.

Do you have a source for this explanation? If not, I would call it conjecture and while it doesn't invalidate the mistake, it does change it to a deliberate mistake if true.

ctown28

You realise a character can be drawn naked without actually showing their genitals (and/or breasts in the case of women), right? The Little Mermaid is a good example of this.

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.
