When Jimmy and Jill are killing Janni and his team in Jimmy's house, there is a fly that buzzes around them. Jill waves it away and it lands on Janni's head as he's dying. Does anyone know if it was written in the script and it was an animated fly of if it just happened to be there and they kept it?
Everytime I watch this movie I wonder that. -

There was another fly on Matthew Perry, in his face in another scene, and he waved it away. Those are real flies and they keep it in because it's real and that was the best take, plus flies are funny, to them.

I actually wondered if there was supposed to be some kind of deeper message or metaphor going on that I wasn't getting about the fly as there are other parts in the film where a fly played a part in a scene. Unless it was just meant to be a running gag that wasn't really particularly funny or clear.

I noticed all THREE flies mentioned in these posts and was ALSO wondering the significance, if any, or if they just had a/some pesky fly/flies that wouldn't allow for a "clean" take so they left them in??? It DOES add humor to the rather tense situation (killings and all) I had to check IMDB to see if anyone else had noticed or knew the background, if any

Found under the triva:
"The house used for filming was infested with flies, so it was nearly impossible to prevent them from appearing in several scenes. "
