Black Dog (1998)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Kevin Hooks
Starring: Patrick Swayze, Meat Loaf, Randy Travis, Gabriel Casseus
Continuity mistake: Before the biker disconnects the air lines, he is shown on the back of the truck. At one point you can see that the air lines are already disconnected. Not to mention that the trailer tires will lock up without air, and shortly after the entire truck will lock up. (00:57:20 - 00:58:20)
Agent Ford: ATF - what does that stand for?"Alcohol, Tobacco and Fuck-ups?"
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.
