Continuity mistake: Toward the end when Crews runs in with Red he first knocks his right headlight out, later it is back in, then it's out again. (01:21:40)
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)
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?"
Earl: One fart and you're walkin'.
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.
