Did You Know?
Goofs
When Mike is pulled over in the modified Chevy Caprice police car, he tells the officer that it has a 426 Hemi engine. That is a Chrysler built engine and it is highly unlikely that a late 80s GM car would be modified with one. See more »Quotes

Black Sheep is one of the most hilarious movies I have seen... I am a big Farley, Spade fan and this is just as funny as Tommy Boy... no one does it better then Farley when it comes to physical humor, and the dry humor that David Spade delivers is knee slapping funny... I definitely recommend this movie!
