Line 6:
The story takes place at least five years after the tragic accident which created The Hulk, glimpses of which are seen in the opening credits. Bruce Banner ([[Edward Norton]]) has [[Discontinuity Nod|taken refuge in South America]] as a worker at a bottling plant, where he keeps a low profile and works on controlling his anger in his spare time. When Bruce accidentally spills blood into one of the bottles, [[Stan Lee|a man]] falls ill from Gamma poisoning, which is the clue General Ross uses to track Banner down. Along for the ride is Emil Blonsky, who is destined to become one of the Hulk's deadliest foes: the Abomination.
While the film received a fair amount of critical success, it wasn't so lucky financially, and [https://web.archive.org/web/20110705022631/http://www.reelzchannel.com/movie-news/6355/louis-leterrier-on-why-the-incredible-hulk-2-probably-wont-happen/ the director says a sequel isn't likely.] The Hulk appears in ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]'' alongside [[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man]], [[Thor (film)|Thor]] and [[Captain America: The First Avenger|Captain America the First Avenger]]—although Bruce is portrayed by [[The Other Darrin|Mark Ruffalo]] instead of Edward Norton.

Line 40:
** On the other hand, he's also completely out of his mind.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: When Banner cuts himself in the factory and his blood contaminates some of the bottles, the way he freaks out was probably written with HIV in mind. If this was a deliberate metaphor on the writer's end, his refusal to have sex might be related.
* [[Doing
* [[Driven to Suicide]]/[[Ate His Gun]]: A [[Deleted Scene]] for the alternate opening had Bruce Banner putting his gun into his mouth, feeling that this was the only way to get rid of the Hulk for good. He then shot himself, only for him to transform and spit the bullet back out. It was deleted for its dark tone, although it was later referred to in ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]''
* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: When going to New York to track down Blue, when given the choice between the subway and the taxi, Bruce Banner and Dr. Betty Ross decided on the taxi. To put it simply, cramped or not, they really should have chosen the subway instead.
Line 97:
** Earlier Banner mistranslates one of the Hulk's catchphrases, "You won't like me when I'm... hungry?"
** The device Banner exposes himself to in the flashback of his origin is identical to the one used in the Incredible Hulk TV show.
* [[Next Sunday
* [[Not Even Bothering with the Accent]]: Justified. Emil Blonsky was born in Russia, but spent most of his life in England, so Tim Roth can use his normal voice.
* [[Not Using the Z Word]]: Even after his transformation, Blonsky is still referred to by name. Samuel Sterns warns him that exposing him to gamma radiation after taking the Super Soldier Serum could result in "...an abomination."
