* The scene in which Rita has to identify Phil's dead body after one suicide indicates that every day branches off into a separate timeline, regardless of Phil looping back. This means more than several instances led to rather bad futures, going against Phil's perception that his actions will have no consequences. Not that he was even aware of these branching timelines to do anything about it.

* The implications of what happens after the movie ends. Phil has spent several ''decades'' stuck on the exact same day to the point that he knows it by heart, and doesn't even have to ''think'' about what's going to happen next to him, the memories are ground into him, etched into his very soul. Now he is suddenly broken out of the loop, and has to once again start dealing with a world where he doesn't know what's going to happen next, and any mistakes he makes are permanent - no do-overs are coming the next day. There's no way that Phil isn't going to have some fairly major mental/emotional problems (definitely some PTSD), as he readjusts to a normal life.

* Just how long was Phil trapped in the loop? There is no official number, but according to WordOfGod, it was likely around ''30-40 years!''[[note]]Creator/HaroldRamis initially estimated around 10 years, but later on revised his estimate to 30-40 years, saying "It takes at least 10 years to get good at anything."[[/note]]
