HulkHere are a bunch of things I picked up on while watching The Incredible Hulk. I am sure there are lots more that I missed as well. There are minor spoilers, so read at your own risk.

- Piano music on street in Guatemala is from 70s TV series
- When Bruce first turns into Hulk with black out and just light on eyes is a shot from 70s TV series
- Lou Ferrigno (Hulk from 70s TV Series) cameos as the security guard that gets pizza
- Stan Lee (creator of Hulk comics) cameos as the guy who drinks Bruce Banner’s blood
- You don’t want to make me hungry, reference to “You don’t want to make me angry” from the 70s TV series
- Stark Enterprises can be seen in the flashback scenes
- Tony Stark (Iron Man) cameos at the end of the movie
- Tony Stark talks of putting a team together (Reference to Avengers)
- Super Soldier program put on ice (Possible reference Captain America, who was frozen in WWII)
- Purple pants that Betty picks out, Hulk is often in purple in the comics
- “Hulk Smash” is often in the comics
- Thunder clap seen at the end of fight with Abomination is often in the comics
- Bruce Banner starts in South America, where he ended up in last movie, odd since I thought Marvel was basically denying the last movie was made
- General Ross says Banner was on the run for 5 years this is the amount of time that has passed since last movie
- SHEILD is in flashback scenes at the beginning. This is an organization often seen in the comics.



Khan Most people have seen Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and even Space Seed. There is more however to Khan’s story. A series of 3 books and another episode of Star Trek. I have read the first 2 books and I enjoyed them, of course I am also a sucker for prequels, and these ones are done pretty well.

  1. Episode – Assignment: Earth
  2. Book – The Eugenics Wars Vol. 1: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh
