Continuity mistake: In the photo booth scene, Face gives Sosa a phone. Later on, after Hannibal had made a call to Sosa to set up a meeting, Sosa sees an incoming phone call from Face, on the phone presumably given by Face. That phone is a Nokia E71, which is a normal candybar phone. But when she receives the call, the candybar phone suddenly becomes a slider phone.

Continuity mistake: After Hannibal rescues Murdoch from a psychiatric ward, they are escaping in a military van.

Continuity mistake: When Hannibal is put inside the crematorium oven, the door at his feet closes like a steel blind, with one blade going down over the first blade, to create a double door. However, when Hannibal opens it by kicking the door with his feet, the door opens upwards like a crappy trap door. If it were a back door he should have opened it with his head. There was no space for him to turn around 180ยบ.
Continuity mistake: When Face and Sosa are in the photo booth, Face cuffs Sosa's left hand to a metal bar and holds her right hand up against the wall. After Sosa has stopped struggling, her right hand changes positions frequently between shots.

Then BA pulls over and Hannibal is not only a meter away, but manages to appear next to the driver's window in less than a nano second.
Continuity mistake: In the hospital, when Hannibal tells Murdoch to join them, in the wide angles BA is in the background standing next to the wall, far from Face. In the close-ups he's right by his side.
Continuity mistake: When the team saves Murdock during the 3D projection, Charisa falls backwards but a frame later she is standing still.

Answer: They can, but only if they have a set of modified rotor blades to be able to do it. The Apache for one is able to do it. The Huey in the movie however is unlikely in reality to be able to do it - there would be no need to fit the modified rotors to what is essentially a transporter.
