This amaz­ing super­cut shows every day in Ground­hog Day simultaneously

02 Feb 2017

Watch the clas­sic Bill Mur­ray com­e­dy as you’ve nev­er seen it before.

Ever want­ed to see every day that Phil Con­nors (Bill Mur­ray) spends stuck in a time-loop in the 1993 film Ground­hog Day played out simul­ta­ne­ous­ly? Well, now you can, cour­tesy of YouTube user Neil Fen­nell, a fan of Harold Ramis’ clas­sic com­e­dy who has dili­gent­ly put togeth­er a super­cut show­ing every sin­gle day in Con­nors’ wak­ing night­mare side by side. Feel­ing a bit con­fused? Fen­nell explains his rea­sons behind the project:

I want­ed to see what it would be like if the events of the movie Ground­hog Day all took place simul­ta­ne­ous­ly. The film shows 37 sep­a­rate days from Phil’s thou­sands of Ground­hog Days in Punx­sutawney. Every frame of the movie is used from days one to 37, with the excep­tion of a few crossfades”.

The video gives view­ers the oppor­tu­ni­ty to trace Con­nors’ every step as he adapts to, and makes the most of, the real­i­ty of being stuck in the present. To give an exam­ple, we’re able to observe just how he’s able to begin to impress love inter­est Rita (Andie McDow­ell) when they meet for a drink on day nine, as it plays in tan­dem with the near iden­ti­cal meet­ing from the days sev­en and eight, in which we see him learn her favourite drink and that she likes to toast to world peace”.

If noth­ing else, the video reveals the metic­u­lous plan­ning that went into the film to ensure that the sto­ry holds togeth­er, while allow­ing us rewatch our favourite scenes from the film in a neat 30-minute package.

Sony has removed the video from YouTube. We’ll keep you post­ed if/​when it gets reuploaded.
