Trivia:

A scene in "Hulk Vs Wolverine" features a hall of tubes with floating babies. One of the tubes reads "X-23". X-23 was a clone of Wolverine, the 23rd attempt at cloning Wolverine and the first successful attempt. The character was created by the writers Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost, who worked on "X-Men: Evolution" (2000) as well as on this feature.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Bruce Banner transforms into the Hulk for the first time (during the "Wolverine" segment) the hole in his left pant leg mends itself.

Quotes:

Thor:[choking Loki] I saw the beast's eyes, brother. It will not stop until all of Asgard is destroyed, until Odin has been broken! You have brought about a new Ragnarok down upon us all!
Loki:It's possible I made a poor choice...

Movie Connections:

Referenced in Planet Hulk (2010) (V)

All you fans of ole' "Jade Jaws", this ones for you!

The DVD has two relatively short stories, Hulk vs Thor & Hulk Vs Wolverine. Hulk vs Thor is the best of the two & the action is off the charts. The story is well conceived & well executed & the animation is good (not great but good). I'd give a brief synopsis of Hulk vs Thor but I'm afraid it would give to much of the plot away.

Hulk Vs Wolverine,is also pretty good in its' own right, but the fight scenes between Hulk & Wolverine aren't nearly as extensive as in Hulk vs Thor. And much of the story has to do more with Wolverine, his past & all the troubles that come with it (meaning SaberTooth, Lady DeathStrike, etc..). The ending is quite inconclusive & kind of a disappointment. And in case anybody is thinking "kiddie cartoon", guess again! It's got plenty of blood & violence to warrant it's PG-13 rating. Definitely one for the fans.

Rating 9 Large Green Fists out of 10
