- The “Groundhog Day Festival” does exist, as does the “Groundhog Club”, although for the purposes of the film it was not filmed in Punxsutawney, but in Woodstock, Illinois.
- The original title of the film is “Groundhog Day”. And marmots, Bill Murray is not ready to forget them. Indeed, the actor was bitten twice by these adorable little beasts during filming!
- The third pillar of the Ghostbusters team of ghost hunters, Harold Ramis goes behind the camera and offers great roles to his accomplices, including Phil in Groundhog Day, Bill Murray. But the script doesn’t sit well with the actor, who gets irritated and doesn’t hesitate to call Ramis at any time of the day or night. In the midst of a divorce during filming, Bill Murray is easily irritated. When Harold Ramis tries to give him stage explanations, Bill Murray interrupts him and asks:Just tell me: nice tile or do you mean tile?“. After the film, Murray and Ramis stopped talking to each other for many years. They reconciled only in 2013, a year before the director’s death.
