## Trivia

* Ang Lee's son designed the dogs.
* The dogs have names according to their concept art: the mastiff is Smokey; the French poodle is Lily; the pit bull is Sammy.
* According to the Official Illustrated Screenplay and novelization, the original dog fight was slightly longer and more violent. Hulk also kills the dogs differently: Hulk jumps high, lands on Sammy's back and snaps it; uses a tree to bash Lily through Betty's windshield; and squeezes and crushes Smokey's head in his hands.
	+ The dogs originally were to steam and melt after defeat.
* In the Illustrated Screenplay, Lily suddenly springs back to life after Hulk smashes her through Betty's windshield and partially grabs Betty in her mouth, injuring her slightly as a final attack before dying. In the novelization, Lily's face gets mashed flat against the windshield before coming back from within an inch of her life and smashing through, but Betty yanks on the seat release just in time as Lily's jaws close just above her. After Bruce opens the car door, Betty partly staggers out of her car and sees some blood smear on him before realizing it's hers from cuts caused by the broken glass and Lily's claws.
* Industrial Light and Magic￼ (ILM) considered the dog fight scene their most complex work at the time.
* Storyboard art by Michael Anthony Jackson depicts the dogs being slightly larger than in the film. According to ILM, the dogs' final versions are the size of large horses.
* According to Animation Director Colin Brady, Lily is the trio's fidgety and hyperactive leader.
	+ Being the leader, Lily is seemingly the most intelligent dog too. She's the only one who went for their target, Betty, especially when Hulk wasn't looking. She was also clever enough to injure Hulk by purposely aiming for a sensitive spot during her groin attack, hurting him enough to cause a strong response.
* According to concept art by Sang Jun Lee and Kevin Nowlan, they initially considered some other dog breeds for the film, including a German Shepherd.
* Ang Lee used trained attack dogs in motion capture suits that performed about 30% of the fight sequence while the rest was keyframe animation, though, in the end, the work became about even with 50% mo-cap and 50% hand animation.
* Lily is the only dog that focuses on killing Betty in the film; however, all three have moments of threatening Betty in the novel and illustrated script.
* The dogs seem to represent David Banner's apathy and cruelty. He seemingly doesn't care about them as he addresses them as "dogs" instead of their names, mutates them without hesitation, and seems indifferent to them failing to kill Betty and Hulk killing them. The novelization explains that David only used the dogs to test the Hulk's strength; he's unconcerned about their fate since they served their purpose and gave a result exceeding his expectations: the Hulk was strong enough to face them single-handedly.
* In the film's Director's Commentary, Ang Lee said he wanted the dog fight to be violent since the dogs are now monsters, making the Hulk free to be more brutal since he wouldn't have to hold back against them.
