Goofs

When Earl and Hank escape from the impound lot the police car lands and the hub caps fall off. Later in the scene the hub caps reappear.

Share this

While Hank and Earl are driving the stolen police car, the rear-view mirror appears and disappears between shots.

Share this

When Earl is driving the LAPD car at the Police Academy; just before he jumps out of the moving car to arrest his training officer, the police car has a working red and blue light-bar. Once Earl handcuffs his Instructor, you can see the car he jumped out of rolling into a set of billboards and gas barrels- and has a bare roof with no light-bar.
