  • Episode 12 - Goof (continuity error): Dirt on the Hulk's pants suddenly disappears as Frye is leading him out of the forest.
  • Episode 13 - Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: At the climax, when Frye's Creature throws the hypo with Banner's cure to smash against a wall, David screams "No!" with one open-handed arm outstretched, and his eyes have turned white (Bill Bixby's special contact lenses are in
