* TheAllegedCar: Ray's and Danny's unmarked police car is beat-up and rickety (and gets "unmarked police car" spray-painted by goons at one point). When it gets [[CoolCar repainted to look like a taxi cab and fitted with bulletproof glass]], the windows don't open (this one [[DeathTrap becomes a bit more of an issue than expected later on]]).

-->'''Ray:''' Here's the situation. I have this gun here. I'm going to take the gun out and I'm going to shoot a lot of holes in the door. If you are standing in front of the door, what can I tell you? Some of those holes are going to be in you. You catching my drift, Snake?

* FollowThatCar: At one point, Danny and Ray get their car changed to look like a taxi. When they go to the airport when the department seizes a shipment of drugs (that turns out to be fake), they spot Gonzalez greeting a priest and a nun, and realize Gonzalez must have smuggled the drugs through them. When Gonzalez spots Danny and Ray pursuing him, he abandons the priest and the nun and takes off in his limo. Ray pulls up in the cab, the priest and nun get in, and Danny, pretending to be a passenger, yells out in an accent, "Follow that car!"
