Bill Murray fought with the directors for Scrooged and Groundhog Day


Scrooged director Richard Donner said Bill Murray was "as difficult as any actor".
Groundhog Day director Harold Ramis said Bill Murray became increasingly difficult during filming of Groundhog Day, rarely on time. Ramis ended up throwing Murray against a wall and they didn't talk again until Ramis was very sick..and then only once and it was all over.

Very few actors of any fame can avoid the decline into dickdom. It's part and parcel for the game.

That may be part of the reason Scrooged sucks. Groundhog Day is great, though.

I think Scrooged is pretty good.

A MINOR CLASSIC.
