MCU: 10 Fascinating Facts Behind The Incredible Hulk (2008)

2. Germany Ruined It

There's a long history of other countries taking Hollywood movies and mangling them in the edit for the sake of the censors. Even with Louis Leterrier making a PG-13 movie and consciously trying to leave out the dark material, that sort of fate befell The Incredible Hulk.

In Germany, the film was butchered in order to meet the more commercially sensible "not under 12" rating. If it had made the distributors more money, then that would have been a sound move, but whoever was tasked with cutting it did so so badly that general audiences actually complained.

It was such a problem that some of the major cinemas in the country were forced to carry warning messages on their websites to fore-warn anyone who was planning on seeing it that it was essentially unwatchable.
