US and Rhode Island State flag in Osmosis Jones 2001

 Osmosis Jones takes place in Rhode Island and in Bill Murray's body.  During a school science fair the US flag makes a small cameo on the stage upon the left side of the shot.  On the other side the flag of Rhode Island can also be seen.

African Flags from Osmosis Jones 2001

 Osmosis Jones is a unique movie that takes place in two realities.  Franks normal reality as a zookeeper and in the microscopic universe of his body.

During the 'normal' scenes of Frank's life we see his day to day job as a zookeeper and in one part we see flags of Africa which line the bridge to Ape Island.

The flag of Little Congo, Kenya, Niger, Zambia, Tanzania, Uganda all make a small cameo in this film.

Flag from Osmosis Jones - the inner body flag of Frank

 The story of a heroic white blood cell came to Hollywood in 2001 under the comedic talents of Bill Murray and Chris Rock.  Mr. Rock plays as a white blood cell who saves Frank's body from a deadly virus.

Essentially white blood cells are the army, navy, and police force of our bodies.  These special cells often have longer lives and must have higher intelligence to fight crime...aka disease...in the body. The story plays upon the analogy of the immune system as being a police force, which is quite accurate.

 When Ozzy Jones is called in to the chief's office the flag of Frank's Body can be seen in the corner.  It uses the colours grey as a background and apparently has lime green stripes and some dashes yellow.  It's finial is black sphere.  








 Here is the close up of Franks Body. 
The great thing about this movie and television series is that it teaches through osmosis.

Nagano's Tennessee Tilt Flag

Nagano Prefecture in Japan is geographically similar to Tennessee, thus it deserves a Tennessee Tilt flag.  The design is essentially a fusion of the perfectural flag of Nagano with a Tennessee twang. 

The thrust to make this flag stems from an artifact of geography.  Both Tennessee and Nagano Prefecture are parallel to Africa and Europe, with a heavier tilt towards Africa.
