5 AWESOME Facts About OSMOSIS JONES!

Number 1
Frank mentions the National Chicken Wing Festival in Buffalo, New York, but this wasn’t real before the film came out. Ever since then, the festival has been held on Labor Day weekend.

Number 2
Mayor Phlegmming was based on Richard Nixon, and Tom Colonic was based on John F Kennedy.

Number 3
The original script had Drix and Ozzy going to the Gonad’s Gym to talk to exercising sperm cells. They cut this to keep things family friendly, but the sticker is still on Drix’s suitcase.

Number 4
Early in the film, Thrax is called the Red Death, which is the name of the plague in Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death.

Number 5
At the time of release, Warner Brothers owned the Pokemon anime, and someone can be seen holding Pikachu in the bladder as Drix gets ready to be released from Franks’ body.

Fun fact: in one of the scenes you can see a statue of a sperm cell labeled "Founder"

I watched osmosis jones about 30 times as a kid. Never once saw Pikachu. Would've been hard to miss

[CountTentacula]

There was also a deleted concept showing why Osmosis is the only one in the Jones line: at a family reunion, a needle used in a blood drive was used and sucked his family away, save for him. Later, in a blood transfusion from Frank’s own prior blood, the family would return in a parody of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

I remember seeing the Pikachu when I watched it in the theater. Nobody believed me that it was in the film til the home video release, it was such vindication when I finally showed it on the DVD 😂

Fun fact, this movie lives rent free in my head. Thanks childhood.

Another fact: The daughter of Frank also played Mandy Wiles in Bully (2006)

[Buggy-suoy]

Laurence was both scary amd suave as Thrax.

[MrStark-upfi]

Here’s another fact, the alarm that went off after Thrax stole that piece of DNA is the same alarm used in Breaking Bad when Gustavo Fring was blown up

[Caprifoolaceae]

That's not Pikachu, that's a Pikachurin molecule.

[Drixenol]

The film has become a Cult Classic and yet, Warner Brothers pretends it never existed.

[Buggy-suoy]

Too bad nobody made a "Red" or "Blue" pill joke since Laurence was in the film and the "Matrix" had recently come out.

[KYMan]

Apparently cells and germs can trade pokemon too. Interesting 🤔

[_AwesomeRabbit-]

During the blatter scene, I have seen one of those cells holding a Pikachu plush.

Imagine of this came out a month before COVID

[alexgomez]

Osmosis Jones shows how much a pretty neat concept can be undermined by censorship and piss poor choice of director(s).
