* CreatorCameo: Creator/HaroldRamis appears as the neurologist who examines Phil's head.
* InspirationForTheWork: While waiting in a theater for a film to start, Danny Rubin was reading ''Literature/TheVampireLestat'' and began musing about vampiric immortality and what one would do with their time when it was limitless. He reasoned that vampires were like normal people without being forced to adhere to the same rules or moral boundaries. He questioned if and when it would become boring or pointless, and how a person would change over time, especially if that person was incapable of substantial change within their own limited mortal life. He singled out men he deemed to be in arrested development, who could not outlive their adolescence.

This is reversed in the final film to Rita buying Phil and claiming that she owns him. Phil's journeys outside of Punxsutawney were excised as Ramis did not want the audience becoming too focused on what the rules of the loop were, and felt that keeping the story within the town made it more claustrophobic. They also chose to remove expositional narration from Phil. Also excised were more scenes of Phil's later good deeds and the clever methods he used to prevent accidents while making the most efficient use of his time. For example, Phil puts a large rock in a road to prevent a truck delivering a fish that a restaurant patron would have later choked on.
