The 1990s were an interesting time for Bill Murray. In the years following the hype of the first two Ghostbuster films, Murray starred alongside NBA legend Michael Jordan in Space Jam. But while another career-defining moment happened in the '90s, Murray definitely doesn't want to relive this frightening animal attack memory over and over again from the set of Groundhog Day.

In the 1993 film, Murray plays a Pittsburgh weatherman named Phil Connors, who travels to Punxsutawney with his producer and cameraman to cover the festivities of the annual holiday -- Groundhog Day. While a seemingly simple task, the rude weatherman gets stuck in a constant state of déjá vu. And like his character, Murray also endured a few challenges along the way.

Phil Connors reports on the news in Groundhog Day.

Phil is cursed to wake up every morning at 6:00 A.M. on Feb. 2 to Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe." He takes countless measures to escape from a time loop of around 30 to 40 years, like poisoning and electrocuting himself. However, Phil's co-workers consider him the ultimate grouch, and this time loop is a way for the weatherman to develop a change in attitude.

Unfortunately, Murray had a similar demeanor on set. At the time, the actor was going through a divorce with his first wife, Margaret Kelly, and his marital issues impacted his work. "What I’d want to say to him is just what we tell our children: ‘You don’t have to throw tantrums to get what you want. Just say what you want," Harold Ramis said to Uproxx. Along with his acting roles alongside Murray in both Ghostbusters and Stripes, Ramis directed the actor in both Caddyshack and Groundhog Day. However, Murray wasn't the only star to get a little unruly.

A groundhog named Scooter acted as Punxsutawney Phil for Groundhog Day, but like some actors, Scooter was difficult to work with. During the scene where Murray and the groundhog are driving the car, Scooter actually bit the actor twice through protective gloves. Murray went to the hospital and asked if he should receive a rabies shot. The doctor replied by saying he wouldn't give the treatment because they didn't know if groundhogs gave rabies.

Murray spoke to The Morning Call about the incident and how Scooter was a "very, very cranky actor." The groundhog handler during filming was discovered to be a bit less professional than Murray initially knew. "It turns out it's a guy who has a couple of puppies and is good with animals, and he just went out and trapped this groundhog in Illinois a few weeks before," Murray said. Producer Trevor Albert replied, "It's not like we bred groundhogs ten years ago in the hopes that they'll get into movies one day."

Along with Murray's animal attack, his close relationship with Ramis began to fall apart during Groundhog Day. That was due to their creative differences about the film's intended vision. Ramis' hope for Groundhog Day was to keep the film humorous, but Murray wanted it to give off a more serious tone. Unfortunately, this caused the pair to barely communicate until Ramis' death in 2014.
