* ArtisticLicenseLawEnforcement: When Sarchie and Butler attempt to arrest Tratner for beating his wife, Tratner pulls a knife and begins aggressively resisting. Butler pulls his own knife and starts knife-fighting him. This is completely against police procedure and training. For a suspect using a knife in such close quarters, Sarchie and Butler would be justified in drawing their guns and using lethal force, it doesn't matter that Tratner's wife and child were present. They could have drawn their batons and pepper-spray and attempted to subdue him that way (''very'' unlikely), but nowhere in police training or the use-of-force escalation procedures is a trying to have a knife duel with a suspect.

* AssholeVictim: Sarchie accidentally murdered a child murderer while beating him. He's guilt-ridden over it, since while the man was a monster, it was still ''murder''.

* HollywoodExorcism: The exorcism scene does a good job in sticking to real exorcism practices - don't listen to what the demon claims, don't believe it when it pretends the exorcism worked early, getting it to reveal its name means it is bowing to the power of God. But, of course, they had to have the glass shattering and all the other theatrics. The exorcism also lasts only a few minutes, whereas a real exorcism typically runs anywhere from days to months.
** If you [[FreezeFrameBonus look carefully at the timestamps]] on the security camera shots in that scene, the exorcism actually lasts about an hour and fifteen minutes total; it seems the audience is only seeing the 'highlights.'

* DifficultySpike: For the first half of the movie, whenever Ralph and Butler have to fight or restrain possessed people, it's done with absolutely no difficulty. Second half, those very same possessed people, who are just as possessed as they were originally, now have the strength and endurance of a Terminator.
