    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Bill Murray's character mentions a "National Chicken Wing Festival" in Buffalo, New York. While the festival did not exist during the filming of the movie, this mention caused organizers to create an annual festival in Buffalo. The festival has been held annually on Labor Day weekend since 2002.
    • Goofs
      Chill was sent into Frank as a flu vaccine. While he could have been a live, weakened virus had he been administered via LAIV (FluMist), this variety of the vaccine was not introduced until 2 years after the film was released. So Chill would have had to come from an injection, meaning he would be a dead virus.

      • Thrax: Ebola? Let me tell you something about Ebola, baby. Ebola is a case of DANDRUFF compared to me!
    • Crazy credits
      The title appears as bubbles, which then pop after 5 seconds.
    • Alternate versions
      On some streaming services, the score plays on the soundtrack as opposed to a pop song during the opening scene.
