The Incredible Hulk

The Confession - S2-E21

Revealing mistake: When the Hulk throws the large bell to break the tower's wall during his second transformation, we can see three cables attached to the bell, most likely used to guide its trajectory.

Wildfire - S2-E12

Revealing mistake: When Adler fights with David close to the detonator just before his second transformation, the shots are filmed too close. It makes it really obvious that a stuntman is replacing David for most of the fight.

Killer Instinct - S2-E9

Revealing mistake: When the Hulk is inside the steam room and he throws his fists through the door, he loses fairly big patches of green make-up on both forearms in the process. (There is no CGI used in this 70s era TV show.)

The Waterfront Story - S1-E12

Revealing mistake: Near the end of the episode, after the Hulk jumps from the wooden crate, he walks around barefoot. But right after the pickup hits the car, we can see that the Hulk is wearing green shoes to protect his feet.

The First (2) - S4-E13

Revealing mistake: David and Del Fry are fighting after David gives Del Fry the shot. When showing the back of Del Fry, his hair is black not gray, revealing that it's a stuntman.

Blind Rage - S3-E2

Revealing mistake: During his first transformation, the Hulk gets behind two soldiers and smiles twice. His second smile is too broad and reveals a very shiny silver tooth filling on his right lower jaw. David does have fillings but they do not cover the external area of the teeth (Ref: when he hugs Katie at the end of the 2nd part of Prometheus, right after his last transformation).

Prometheus (1) - S4-E1

Revealing mistake: When the crew at Prometheus are viewing the tape of Hulk destroying the helicopter, it is obvious the tape is just stock footage from the scene earlier when the Hulk actually does destroy the helicopter. The camera angles used are exactly the same, and they are also angles the other crew wouldn't be able to film from.

The Disciple - S2-E18

Revealing mistake: When the Hulk is lifting his left foot at the beginning of his first transformation to break free from the "leg shackle", there is a close shot where we should see his toes. But we cannot see them because he is wearing some green pantyhose with brown soles to protect his feet.

A Solitary Place - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When the Hulk throws the tire during his second transformation, the first shot shows a horizontal trajectory but the second shot shows a 45 degree angle trajectory, which makes the tire land much further than expected.

Trivia: Ted Cassidy, best known for his role as Lurch in the hit TV series "The Addams Family", did the opening narration for the show as well as the vocal effects for the Hulk. Sadly, Ted Cassidy died during production of Season 2. The Hulk's vocal effects were then done by actor Charles Napier for the rest of the show. Ted Cassidy's voice was still used for the opening narrations of all seasons.
