Continuity: When Charlie is setting the cars on fire and making them explode, two guys run to a car, near a picnic table set, which is intact and brand new looking, which in a previous shot exploded! The car next to it also explodes in a previous shot, but is brand new/intact in the same shot too!
Continuity: When Charlie sets the bath full of water on fire, the bits of burning wood scattered around the bath change position greatly between shots.

Continuity: There is a dead, burning body laying in front of one black, burning car. In one shot of a man using his coat to put out fire on another mans arm, the body isn't there. It returns later.
Visible crew/equipment: You can see the wires attached to the fireballs Charlie shoots at the bad guys.

Visible crew/equipment: When Charlie makes the red handle of the tap fly off, in the stable, when it hits the wood you can see the black wire attached behind it.
Visible crew/equipment: When Charlie is in the stable, she makes a big fiery explosion, and the three men in protective suits go flying through the stable doors. Long black wires are visible, connected to all three of them.
