Fantômes en fête

Bill Murray falling on his way out of the restaurant was unscripted and a genuine accident. (As evidenced by the reaction of the actor playing the waiter, and Murray's feet as he falls.) Apparently, it was due to the stairs still being wet, after splashing the waiter with water, that caused him to lose his footing.

After Frank Cross wakes up in his office after Lew visits him, he drinks some vodka that has a golf ball in it. When he drops the golf ball on his desk, it bounces three times in front of Frank's face. On the second and third bounces, the ball actually goes higher than on its first bounce. Although this is "impossible," it is meant to emphasize the supernatural origins of the ball. Also note that the sound effects correspond with this "supernatural" activity.

About a third of the way through the closing credits, Bill Murray appears with the word "Scrooged" across the screen in front of him. He looks down and brushes the front of his jacket a few times, with each brush a couple of the letters in the title chase off the screen as if he's brushing them off his jacket.

TBS runs an "edited for content" version of this film, that deletes or changes profanity and questionable dialog.
