Black Sheep (1996)

Mike Donnelly: [On the phone] Every guy's got his dream, am I right? Between you, me, and the wall here, I had a doozy of one myself last night. Get this. A corn-fed harvest mouse, a hooker, a nun, a Flemish peasant woman, whips, chains, whistles, yo-yos, a circus midget, my grandmother riding by on a bicycle giving me the finger, and a duck. Now, I don't know. Are you crying? Oh, my lord. I am sorry, honey. Please don't cry, could you get your daddy on the phone?

Mike Donnelly: How ya doing, buddy? Transporting a prisoner. 12th precinct up in Buckley Town. My sergeant didn't give me any overtime, so I'm trying to do it lickety-split.
Motorcycle Cop: Tell me, officer, do you have any idea how fast you were going?
Mike: Well. I got a 426 hemi in her, 3/4 cams, nitro boosters. I can get her up to as good as 155. Never do though of course, unless I'm chasing a cute chick in a Ferrari. Hahahahaha. I guess I was going about 65, tops.
Motorcycle Cop: Seven! Seven miles an hour! And normally when I stop people they pull onto the shoulder.

Black Sheep (1996)

Character mistake: At Governor Tracy's acceptance speech, she thanks her husband, Dennis, and two children, Andrew and Patrick. However, she has a son and daughter, not two sons. Additionally, her husband is credited as "Donald" not Dennis, who was played by Patrick Pankhurst.

Other mistake: The article on the right-hand side of "The Olympian" seen at the end of the film is the same one seen on the right hand side of the "Daily Journal of Commerce" that Tracy looks at after chopping down the tree. Although the 2nd column of print in the "Daily Journal of Commerce" is now the 1st column of print in "The Olympian."

Continuity mistake: When Mike and Al are on the football field talking, after the truck incident, they're a couple feet away from the "50" and start walking back to the cars, away from the "50" and get to about the 44-yd line. After Roger honks the horn, Mike and Al are now back to around the 50-yd line and next to the "50." And they're closer to the "50" then the first shot.

Steve Dodds: [After hitting Drake with his car] Oh! Oh! Buddy, are you ok?
Drake Sabitch: I'm not that far from dragging you out of the car and beating you to dust.
Steve: You should work up to that. Kinda leaves you nowhere to go.
Drake: I can go to your mamma's and start a small fire in her panties. Now, are you ready to get out of the car?

Black Sheep (1996)

Continuity mistake: When Mike is talking about seeing his brother while Steve is asleep, you see the Playpen magazine sticking out from under his pillow, on top of a 2nd magazine. When Mike approaches him, the Playpen magazine is under the covers next to Steve and there's only one magazine under the pillow.

Black Sheep (1996)

Other mistake: When we see the front page picture of Mike with the alcohol and joint, he's pouring the alcohol over his bottom lip and chin, going down the front of his shirt. This doesn't match what we see him do. It does appear that Mike spilt alcohol on himself when off camera, but the wet spot is on the right side of his jacket, but not down the front.

Question: In the film, Officer Robbie seems to have heavily modified his police cruiser, including adding nitrous. In real life, could an officer actually modify his or her vehicle, even if it's at their own expense? The examples of modified police cars I could find online are never real cop cars (they're for a car show, just a stunt, or hoax of some sort).

Bishop73

Answer: A major police department would probably not allow modifications to an official vehicle, even if it was assigned permanently to a particular officer, due to safety or insurance concerns. That said, many departments do use high performance or exotic vehicles seized during crimes under various forfeiture laws. Most times these are for promotional purposes, but I do know of a Florida department that used a souped-up Dodge Hemi-Charger painted in standard department livery for traffic enforcement.

Black Sheep (1996)

Continuity mistake: When Governor Tracy is chopping down the tree, we see the pre-made cuts (that are suppose to be there). After her 2nd chop the shot changes to her family, but when it goes back to her, there's a new notch in the tree and it's not from her chopping as we don't hear her chopping. When it cuts to the tree the final time, after she says "don't let anyone tell you your job is easy", there are more chop marks that aren't from her.

Black Sheep (1996)

Continuity mistake: Near the end when Mike is on top of Governor Tracey, the camera pans to a wide shot and there's no sign behind the people on the stage. In the newspaper picture of Mike on top of her, there's now a sign behind the people.

Black Sheep (1996)

Continuity mistake: When the boulder is coming down, the front door is open. When we get a shot of the front of the cabin, the door is now closed. However, the doorknob switches from being on the left to being on the right. We also see there is nothing hanging from the porch roof. Before Mike and Steve crash through, we see the front again and the doorknob is back to the left and there's a metal star hanging from the porch roof.

Black Sheep (1996)

Continuity mistake: When the boulder hits the cabin and Mike falls out the front door, he's rolling, almost off the door, and on his side, with his back close to the rocks. There also is nothing on the back of the door. When it cuts to the close up, Mike is now face down on the door completely, with a dartboard on the door.
