another observation 2:44pm 5/10/2004  

I have to give further props to Hulk for avoiding a long-standing movie cliche, that of the necessary explosion whenever a motorized vehicle crashes. It seems in movies these days that even a gas-powered scooter denting a car door requires a huge fiery boom. When the Hulk tossed a tank across a few desert dunes, i was waiting for the impact and mandatory explosion. To my pleasant surprise, it landed with nothing more than a thud and a burst of sand. The temptation for the producers (obviously, Jerry Bruckheimer was not among them) must have been even greater when the Hulk downed a few helicopters, but they too simply crashed to the pavement. Sure, their blades come flying off, but we're not led to believe they were made of dynamite.
