** One thing that was ''not'' cut out: a statue of a sperm with the inscription "OUR FOUNDER".

** PhilLaMarr as Osmosis.

* ActorAllusion: In the climactic fight scene between Ozzy and Thrax, the camera briefly freezes and rotates around them à la ''TheMatrix''. Thrax is voiced by LaurenceFishburne, who played Morpheus.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In the original script and in early cuts of the movie, a scene was featured when Osmosis and Drix go to the Gonad's Gym. It involved them talking to the "exercising" sperm cells. The scene was cut in order to stay family friendly. The Gonad's Gym logo does appear on Drix's suitcase during a scene in police station locker room.

!!The Film

** Also, the script reveals that Osmosis went to a family reunion when he was young. At that time Frank went to the doctors to have some blood removed, possibly in a blood drive. The needle drew out all of Ozzy's relatives, apparently leaving him all alone, which adds to his lone wolf status in the film. The ending has Frank getting a blood transfusion to save his life, with [[ChekhovsGun his own prior blood]]. And Ozzy's family returned to Frank, in a parody of the abductees returning in ''CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind''. This was revealed in the DVD commentary.

* ShoutOut: To the Ohio Players. When Thrax and his Mooks are gloating over the newspaper article about the heroes stopping the cold. When asked about the possibility of the protagonists intervening, Thrax responds: "Fire".

** Will Smith said he was interested in the role of Osmosis, but schedule conflicts prevented that.
