The episode title is a play on the 1941 W.C. Fields movie Never Give a Sucker an Even Break.
Stock footage was taken from Steven Spielberg's television movie Duel (both the series and the movie were produced by Universal Pictures). Spielberg was allegedly furious at the use of the footage, but as he was under contract to Universal as a TV director when Duel was filmed, the studio executives were free to use the footage as they wished.
Banner winds up in the middle of a war between a woman trucker and a pair of hijackers.
This is the infamous Incredible Hulk episode written to incorporate footage of Steven Spielberg's Duel. Some sources say Steven stumbled across it while flipping channels and was astonished to see the Hulk driving the monster truck of his 1971 hit TV movie.
