Trivia: Stephanie Beatriz plays lead character Mirabel in this movie. She was originally going to play the role of Luisa, but the producers cast her as Mirabel after they found out she was nothing like her signature role of Rosa Diaz in Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Trivia: Will Smith won the Best Actor Oscar for his role in the film. However, his award was overshadowed by an altercation with Chris Rock earlier in the evening, which saw Smith slap Rock in the face after Rock made a joke about Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith (which Will initially laughed at). As a result, Smith was given a 10-year ban from the Oscars ceremony, and also lost consideration for upcoming film roles.

Trivia: "Infanticide" refers to a parent deliberately killing a child, either an infant or up to a one-year-old. The lesser-known general term "filicide" refers to a parent (or functional equivalent, such as step-parent) killing a child. Related terms wherein a family member kills another family member include "parricide" (a child killing a parent) and "siblicide" (obviously, killing a brother or sister).

Trivia: Translations for the Latin HABEAS CORPUS include "show me the body", "you have the body", "you should have the body", "produce the body", and "you shall have the body." The "body" in question refers to a person being held in detention or confinement and "show the body" refers to the judge/court being requested (petitioned) to bring the person to court to ascertain/assess the legality of the person's deprivation of liberty. No person should be deprived of liberty without "due process of law."
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)
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.
