The Incredible Hulk - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the lab is set on fire and the Hulk jumps into the room to save Elana, the Hulk that jumps through is actually a stunt double. Noted because the Hulk that jumps in isn't that tall.

Continuity mistake: When David gets out of his car and looks at the flat tire, the hubcap is gone. When he goes to the front and jacks the car up, he uses the jack handle to remove the hubcap that wasn't there before.

Never Give a Trucker an Even Break - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: There is a scene where the female trucker is driving her truck and she intentionally hits a brown car. The problem is that she had already passed by this brown car a few seconds ago when David was getting into her truck through the window.

Never Give a Trucker an Even Break - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When David is in the telephone booth trying to call the police he mentions that he can only read the first few digits of the phone number. Then there is a shot of the center of the dial which is almost all black and we cannot read any digit. A few seconds later another shot shows the center of the dial which is now white and we are able to read the first few digits.

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 Waterfront Story - S1-E12

Factual error: The story takes place in Galveston, Texas. The geographical area is flat, but if you look closely near the last hulk out, there are mountains in the background.

Trivia: Executive Producer Kenneth Johnson wanted to have the Hulk's skin color be red instead of green. His explanation was that red represented anger and green represented jealousy. When telling Stan Lee, creator of The Incredible Hulk about this, Stan Lee said that the Hulk's skin color was green and had to stay green.

More trivia for The Incredible Hulk

Answer: The Hulk is accused of killing Dr. David Banner and Dr. Elenia Marks. After the lab explodes, McGee sees the Hulk emerge carrying the body of Dr. Marks, so he assumed the creature is guilty. It was McGee who caused the explosion. After following the trail of evidence of the Hulk to the lab, he hides when David and Elania arrive. In a darkened storage closet, he knocks over a bottle of flammable liquid. He confronts them, then is forced to leave by Banner, who says, "Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry." When Banner reenters the lab, it explodes, caused by the Hulk when it went on a rampage trashing the lab, causing many electrical systems to catch fire, thus igniting the flammable liquid.

Answer: The phrase "Incredible Hulk" is coined by Jack McGee in one of his tabloid articles. He's trying to find proof of the Hulk because no one takes his story seriously, so probably nobody takes his name for the creature seriously either.
