Other mistake: Crews is talking to his wife by telephone and says he is in North Carolina. The signage shows he is at the I-85/I-26 interchange in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Black Dog (1998)

Directed by: Kevin Hooks
Starring: Patrick Swayze, Meat Loaf, Randy Travis, Gabriel Casseus
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the Monte Carlo is battling with the Camaro, they go off road into a field. During a certain shot, the Camaro has to jump a hill and it goes airborne. While it's airborne, you can see the entire front end is destroyed. However, after it lands, you can see the front end of the Camaro is in excellent condition and it remains intact for the remainder of the film. I would guess that they used at least two Camaros for the film. (00:26:10)
Earl: Yeah, you CAN drive.
Jack Crews: It's comin' back to me.
Question: Is the whole thing with truckers seeing "a black dog" when they have been on the road too long true, or made up purely for the film?

Chosen answer: It's an old trucker's myth that has been around for a long time. There's no known origin for the story, but supposedly when truckers become drowsy, they can see a demon-like black canine of some sort running along the side of the road. This legend was incorporated into the movie.
