"I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought." That's my favorite line. I'm glad that you and Winston had the same thought, regarding Ray saying that he was a god.
Your reaction to Mr. Staypuft was everyone's reaction to Mr. Staypuft at the time. I can't understand how Ivan Reitman ever had doubts on whether it would work 🤣
Regarding shutting off the containment, the city sent an electrical guy for his expertise. If he was unsure about the safety of shutting it off, they should have listened to him and followed up with more investigation to understand what it was.
It's not Ghostbusters, if a Reitman isn't directing it. 5:01 the Ghost they encountered was of Eleanor Twitty. She made an appearance in the Ghostbusters video game. Both the interior and exterior of the firehouse is located in Hollywood.
I never made that connection and I’m kicking myself for it a bit because I actively wondered why they had him always get locked out. And I suppose the flip side is that the gatekeeper was always keeping him out? 😂
This asinine comment is the top comment on every single busters video. Glad it only has 66 likes here. Dullards act like it’s a critical observation instead of trivia which is on every single ghostbusters trivia list .
I really appreciate you showing up in the comments here and making sure that it is clear that you think everyone else is a moron and you are the smartest person on the planet. Also, who says dullard? I see dreary ol’ England has made you bitter.
One of my fave films of all-time perfectly blending comedy & supernatural horror/sci-fi. Aykroyd's script was originally like 400 pages and had the team literally traveling thru the cosmos and other realms/dominions. Ivan Reitman was like 'Um that's so not happening' (largely due to the bulk and the fact it would no doubt triple the film's budget). The ghost - Slimer (the gluttonous goblin) was modeled after Aykroyd's late-great BFF John Belushi (who was originally tapped to be Venkman but sadly died yrs before). I always equated Bill Murray to being Groucho Marx, Aykroyd to Bob Hope and Harold Ramis to Bud Abbott (as you mentioned Clariss his dead-pan straight man is impeccable and Ramis was quoted in a People Magazine interview profile as saying 'somebody has to be Bud Abbott'). The sequel and the last recent film are worth a visit (the horrendous re-imagining w/the all-female Ghostbusters is just terrible - trust me).
Bill Murray earned the nickname "one take Bill" because he kept nailing it on the first take. Even if they did multiple takes of a scene, in editing they kept using the first take 😀
Yes, the marshmallow fluff was shaving cream. I recommend watching the other movies before the new one comes out. Remember that Harold Ramis (Egon and co-writer) passed away in 2014. Some reactors haven't understood this while reacting to Ghostbuster Afterlife. Which scene did you try to recreate?
If you haven't seen Harold Ramis and Bill Murray in "Stripes" you may enjoy that. Harold Ramis plays a similar character to the one here that you commented on him doing so well, and it also has John Candy and a list of other somewhat famous actors. I also thought I would mention "Carl Winslow" is also in "Crocodile Dundee" if you haven't seen that. Both movies are a lot of fun.
The guy who plays the EPA guy was the professor in the movie Real Genius, a comedy/drama where they are making a powerful laser and it turns out someone in the government wants to use it for evil purposes, so they have to stop it....and the professor is part of the evil conspiracy....it's a really good movie, it has Val Kilmer. There's a scene where they used a physics hack to make a bunch of ice all over the floor in the college dorm, and a guy comes in and says "what the hell is all this", and the good guys reply, "This? This is ice. This is what happens to water when it gets too cold. This? This is Kent. This is what happens to people when they get too sexually frustrated." lmao 🙂
The apartment she rented wasn't a penthouse. The old part of the building that was blocked off, in addition to the piece made into her apartment, would have constituted calling it a penthouse.
I believe air pipes blew out the cards and an air tube blew out the eggs. And no, a cellist couldn't afford Dana's apartment...even in the 80s. As for the street, it was a set built on modular platforms that they intercut with the location. The vehicles and amount of damage will tell you which shot is from which set.
1.) Rent controlled apartment(whatever that means)? 2.)NYC rent in the early 80s is not NYC rent in the late 90s! 3.)Our friend, Dana, has wealthy parents? 4.)She's a DAMN good cellist!
It’s funny that you refer to him as little. Dan Aykroyd is 6’1”. Though Bill Murray is 6’2”, as was Harold Ramis. Of the four of them, Ernie Hudson was actually the shortest, at 6’. 😄
@@randallwright1973so did I… I actually saw it first before the original movie and thought it was good but of course the original is still better. But the sequel was still good in it’s own right though
In the beginning they used air hoses in the back of the card catalogs to blow them out. Also, get your head out of the gutter, he was just hooking up her computer😅.
So now you just need Ghostbusters II (not great but still a fun watch) and Ghostbusters: Afterlife (which I enjoyed very much) before the new one comes out. You can skip Ghostbusters 2016; it was a disservice to the franchise and to the talent they hired to play in it. It has funny moments and what could have been a decent plot, I suppose, but was so shamelessly pandering to a female audience, in the most patronizing, insulting way, that it just pisses me off. I kinda felt like I had to defend it at first because the incels popped up and started bashing it just on the basis of the all female cast. But the more I saw it and about the director, the more I realized… it’s not about them casting women… it’s about them making a cheap vehicle for SNL players instead of a good movie in the franchise. I mean, the original guys were from SNL, some of them. They just had a better balanced story. Most important, though… it doesn’t factor into the timeline at all.
25:41 Egon getting pissed off at the EPA guy was the best part of this. He is normally very calm and for him to get that mad really shows how badly the EPA screwed up.
It is funny. :D I couldn't help but think "At least it wasn't J Edgar Hoover!" You might also enjoy the rabbit scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, on the off chance that you haven't seen it yet.
Carl Winslow started his police career with the NYPD. After the events of Ghostbusters, he decided he needed a change of scenery and transferred to the LAPD. After helping John McClain for a few years, he transferred to the Chicago Police Department where he spent the remainder of his career and was finally able to have a family and retire.
Carl Winslow and the EPA inspector William Atherton were in "Die Hard." I believe EPA will conduct an inspection as well as review a hazardous materials questionnaire, and set up an air quality device in and around the building to test for toxic materials. The problem with Mr. Peck is that he was heavy-handed, and his ego got the best of him when complaining in the mayor's office. However, it is his job to question the team about the facility.
I already know that this is going to be a great reaction! 😊 RIP always Harold Ramis(Egon) and to Director Ivan Reitman!!! This is a fun movie reaction surprise! 😊 I grew up with this movie in the 80s. And still love it to this day. The demon dogs that possesses Dana and Luis used to terrify me when i was younger. LOL! And Slimer and the Stay Puft marshmallow man have always been my favorite ghosts. Even if they're re-watches you definitely need to watch "Ghostbusters 2" and the third in the trilogy the latest "Ghostbusters Afterlife"(which has both a mid and post credit scene). Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
Also: they told William Atherton - the guy playing Peck - that it was a rehearsal when the dropped marshmallow goo on him so his reaction when they released it was real. They ran it and Reitman simply said "look up" and they pressed the button. His anger was real. Apparently he was genuinely furious for a while afterwards. Again: hilarious.
Louis (technically Vince Klortho) will always be my favorite GB character. Everything he does after his possession is hilarious. "You'll perish in flames!!!" has been a favorite quote of mine since childhood 😅 If Little Shop of Horrors isn't on your list, pop it on. A dark comedy musical with Rick Moranis, Steve Martin, and even a Ghostbuster cameo 😉
Yes, the second one from 1989 is anyway. I actually saw it before the original and I liked it, but still not as good as the original but the sequel was still good in it’s own right
You know it’s an 80s movie when the EPA are the villains. Also, I probably watched this movie a dozen times as a kid… with my parents. Watching it again as an adult gave me a whole new respect for their ability to not react. I love practical effects and especially how folks who grew up with CGI are so impressed with practical effects. The door with the face pressed into it… if I were to guess it was a wood frame and a painted cloth stretched over it and painted for texture.
It was a rubber sheet, behind which a person with textured rollers in their hands rolled them along the surface. A similar effect can be seen in "A Nightmare On Elm Street".
Another great part to the franchise is the animated spinoff/sequel TV show The Real Ghostbusters from 1986. In that, the green Slimer ghost actually becomes the team's pet and sidekick.
Oh, man! I owe that show SUCH a debt for exposing me to all kinds of creepy folklore and literature! I had all the action figures and the Exto-1 toys. I loved them, because any other odd or disgusting toys in the toybox (and there were quite a few) could easily double as ghost-of-the-week.
One of my favorite moments in this movie that never fails to get a laugh: Egon: Well, let’s say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. According to this morning’s sample, it would be a Twinkie…35 feet long weighing approximately 600 pounds. Ray coughs in surprise- Winston: That's a BIG Twinkie.
I love that this could be seen as the story of a con man and skeptic, who encounters real ghosts for the first time and decides to make a business out of it.
Fun fact it was actually supposed to be Eddie Murphy and not Ernie Hudson in this movie but Eddie was unable to do it because he has scheduling conflicts for his movie Beverly Hills Cop
The OG Ghostbusters movie is a great movie, sure some of it's effects is a bit dated, but the story, the characters, and the music is still good even today.
My top 3 favorite movies from the 1980s are GhostBusters 1 (1984), Splash (1984) and Back to the Future (1985) also this movie's theme song is a banger to this very day 😄💕🎥🎶👻
You have just witnessed my all time favorite movie. You need to watch Ghostbusters II and Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire will be released in theaters this March.
I always enjoy seeing Dan Aykroyd here, and in Sneakers, as two sides of the same character. Though... I guess that means the character is just Dan Aykroyd...
Definately one the best films in 80's with amazing soundtrack. You were wondering about the Clerygy man: He appears to be Bishop. Cardinals are higher ranking and wear red and no purple. Bishops wear purple.
Clariss I know that Rick Moranis wasn't in latest Ghostbuster because he recently returning to acting years after his wife died by focusing raising their child, Mitchell. Rick stated he will be more selective of roles. In 2020, Rick signed on newest Shrink movie called Shrunk. Shrunk is still in pre-production. I know his character, Wayne of Shrink might have different timeline because actress who plays Wayne's wife, Marsha Strassman died in 2014 at the age of 66. I don't know producers and writers will add story of Marsha's character's death like hers plus Rick's situation of his wife's death. I doubted he will be in Afterlife sequel.
The EPA scenes are the black marks on an otherwise perfect movie. It is monumentally stupid and doesn't make any sense outside of a cartoon, especially with the police officer on the scene who witnesses this exchange: GB: "If you turn off this machine it will be like setting off a bomb" They do, the machine explodes EPA: "These men are responsible" Then he says to the mayor, in front of the same police officer, that the GB are making illusions with gas and lights, and the officer says nothing. In a movie about ghosts, this is too much to suspend disbelief
1:00 "How did they do that?" I actually happen to know the answer. Like sleight-of-hand or most illusionist tricks, it's comically simple. They had tubes inside the card drawers, sliced at a diagonal, and a person behind each that blew into the tubes while sliding them forward to make the cards fly out! 😉
😮I like the hair style and this movie is awesome, also kind of fun. 32:42 Yes, is always fun to see Mr Stay Puff 😂 28:41 is either archbishop or monsignor, based on his clothing is mostly like monsignor. Ten un buen día
The highest grossing film of 1984, followed closely by _Beverly Hills Cop_ and _Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom_ William Atherton has said people still call him "D!ckless" on the street. The 2009 video game (and 2019 remaster) is the unofficial 3rd entry, as Aykroyd, Ramis, and Ivan Reitman wrote the story. Although _Afterlife_ did retcon most of it. There were 2 versions, one for the Xbox 360/PS3/PC (which the 2019 remaster is based on), and a cartoony-er version for the Wii/PS2/PSP/DS.
I saw the pre-broadcast early cut of Ghose Busters in a cinema recently (Prince Charles Cinema, London). It had no music, almost zero special effects, and some interesting scene changes. And it was still BRILLAINT - but just felt a lot more like a theatre production!
Definitely continue with Ghostbusters 2 and Ghostbusters Afterlife with Frozen Empire coming out in March. And please avoid the 2016 Ghostbuster . Behind the scenes ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xtGr21I0Q6k.html
One classic movie I highly recommend is Gojira AKA Godzilla (1954), being the first in line to start off the Kaiju-Eiga Cinematic Universe, I can provide you with how to buy all of the movies since only certain films are available for Streaming services. But Gojira (Godzilla) is one of the darkest movies ever made
Well if you're a world renowned cellist, it could happen, right? Yo Yo Mah's net worth is estimated to be 30 million, says Google. 🙂 I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area not NYC, but it is also very expensive; here in Silicon Valley, the median home price is 1.7 million. Would have to look up how much people in the New York Philharmonic Orchestra get paid. 🙂
You can tell this was a movie made in America during the Reagan administration because the antagonist is a government agent concerned about the environment.
Who are you gonna call? Ghostbusters! This is one of my all time favorite films from my birth year 1984 right up there with Nightmare On Elm Street, Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, and The Terminator to name just a few. The cast and comedic humor really sells and makes this movie a timeless classic that is nearly 40 years old now oh and don’t cross the streams! 😂 #IvanReitman #BillMurray #SigourneyWeaver #HaroldRaimis #DanAykroyd #ErnieHudson #RickMoranis 🚫👻
From what I heard, the cards shooting up into the air was done with air hoses blowing onto them. According to my mother, she and my father took me to see this at the drive-in when I was nearly a year and a half old. To this day, I think this is the best movie of the 1980s. I've honestly seen this film more times than I can count, but it took me 25 years to realize that Venkman pushing Ray to go talk to Gozer was payback for Ray and Egon making him talk to the Library Ghost.
After decades or re-watching both, it finally occurred to me just how much of Dan Akroyd's movement is inspired by the physical comedy of the Three Stooges.
Shaving cream was used for the exploded Stay Puft marshmallow man. The fire station interior was a Los Angeles fire station, however, the external scenes were done at an FDNY firehouse in Tribeca. The Tavern On the Green restaurant scene, when the diners ignored Louis' cry for help, was a parody about New Yorkers ignoring crazy things that occur in the city everyday.
This is a prime example of something I think about often which is in the 80's it seems people could get away with pitching just about anything no matter how far out or distant from trends and get it both greenlit and have it become universally beloved. I thought about Jaws and Gremlins recently and this. And even outside the major studios. Troma comes immediately to mind. Or all the slasher monster movies. Or Robocop which was originally Orion Pictures. Well more to the point I think if this stuff had never been and they tried to pitch it and pull out of in this era there is more of a strong likelihood it would not make it to print. Maybe ironically then comic book superhero cross-over films on the other had a hard time getting through the door which are predominant now.
