Black Sheep is also a film comedy (1992) starring David Spade and Chris Farley. The film was directed by Penelope Spheens. This film has been compared unfavorably to a previous film, Tommy Boy.
The film deals with a political contest, in which the candidate, must deal with unwanted and incompetent help from his brother.
The fact that the name of the film is the same as that of a rap group serves to confuse many of the fans of the comedy duo.
The Black Sheep were also a Marine Corps aviation unit, VMF-214, that served in the South Pacific during World War II. The squadron was commanded originally by Gregory "Pappy" Boyington.
