Trivia: The license plate on the BMW is "MLBULAW." The acronym "MLBU" is used for "Midwife Led Birthing Unit." Taking the "LAW" into consideration, the "MLBU" most likely represents "Major League Baseball Union." The MLB's season was shortened in 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Grievances and labor disputes required expensive lawyer fees (millions of dollars). (00:03:55)
Suggested correction: First, the name of MLB's union is the Payers Association, so the initials are MLBPA, not MLBU. Second, the film was in post-production when COVID hit, so while filming there would be no reason to "represent" the MLBPA since the season hasn't been affected. Third, MLBU also stands for Mobile Laundry and Bathing Unit. MALBU LAW simply stands for Malibu Law and this entry has nothing to do with the film.
Trivia: There is a post credit scene where the Baroness tries to convince Tommy Arishikage to join Cobra now that his grandmother stated he won't be leader of her clan. Tommy told Baroness to call him Storm Shadow since he has now shunned his birth name.
Trivia: The first entry in the series not to be released in theaters.

It was subsequently given a Blu-Ray release one year later in October 2022, exclusively as part of a box set containing all seven films.
Trivia: Ross' log-in on the laptop computer in the San Francisco library included a CAPTCHA (to discern a real person from a robot). The use of ONE word - in this case, "doug" - is called EZ-Gimpy. "CAPTCHA" is an abbreviation for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. (00:02:21)
Trivia: "Infanticide" refers to a parent deliberately killing a child, either an infant or up to a one-year-old. The lesser-known general term "filicide" refers to a parent (or functional equivalent, such as step-parent) killing a child. Related terms wherein a family member kills another family member include "parricide" (a child killing a parent) and "siblicide" (obviously, killing a brother or sister).
