* [[Defictionalization]]: There's a throwaway line about the "National Chicken Wing Festival" in Buffalo, New York. There was no such festival at the time the film was made, but [http://www.buffalowing.com/ now...]
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]] / [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Dogma|Rufus]] and [[Frasier|Niles]] fight off an evil [[The Matrix|Morpheus]] inside the body of [[Ghostbusters|Peter Venkman]], which is run by [[Star Trek|Captain Kirk]].
** And Tom Colonic does not suffer from [[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]].
*** And once he takes over the office of mayor, he'll have many [[Happy Days]].
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The film was initially rated PG-13 but was edited down to a PG film. 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.
** 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 [[Chekhov's Gun|his own prior blood]]. And Ozzy's family returned to Frank, in a parody of the abductees returning in ''[[Close Encounters of the Third Kind]]''. This was revealed in the DVD commentary.
** One thing that was ''not'' cut out: a statue of a sperm with the inscription "OUR FOUNDER".
** Will Smith said he was interested in the role of Osmosis, but schedule conflicts prevented that.
