Other mistake: Knox and Tracey were driving from Detroit to Malibu. When Knox got out of his truck, "BANNATT" CONSTRUCTION was on the driver's door. Under "cast" at the end of the movie (as well as on various websites), their last name is "Bannett." Also, Michigan requires only one license plate, but Knox's truck (presumably registered in Michigan) also had a front license plate (but the state was not readable). (00:04:00 - 01:39:40)

Genres: Thriller
Character mistake: Bree said, "Even the smallest pup can smell meat from 40 feet away." Puppies may not be able to smell quite as well as their adult counterpart, but dogs have excellent smell. It is estimated that dogs (under ideal conditions) can smell as far as 20 km (12+ miles). I suspect someone did a quick Google search of "how far can a puppy smell" and the following was visible: "On a windy, bright day, a dog might be able to smell a person standing upwind at 40 feet away. But..." and quit reading. (01:33:07)
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)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
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.
