Continuity mistake: Hank attempts to commander a car and gets slapped silly. So instead, the woman driving gives them a ride.

Continuity mistake: When Hank and Charlie investigate the alarm in the start of the movie, they split up. Hank is shown going up a flight of stairs and has his gun and flashlight in the common position cops do when searching. Gun pointed forward with flashlight lying over, hands crossed.
