Ecto 1 Featurette: Resurrecting the Classic Car | GHOSTBUSTERS 

Who wouldn’t

The funny thing, something eerily similar to that happened to me as a kid. Not with Dan Ackroyd at the wheel, but close enough. It was 1998 and I visited the Universal Studios Florida with my father, I was 5 years old. It was already pretty late with it getting darker and we wandered far off the populated areas in search of a toilet. So when we finally found one and my father went in, I was waiting outside in the eerily empty road. When all of a sudden Ecto-1 came charging around the corner all sirens blaring and rushed past me. 5 years old me was completely stunned and of course my father didn't believe me when he came back. Oddly enough, it is about the only thing I can still remember about that trip...

@@dschehutinefer5627 Haha, that is way cool. What a great memory to have.

When I was a kid there was a guy that had one of the original Batman movie cars from the Tim Burton movie. He dressed up as Batman and would drive around sporadically. I thought it was the real batman, everything was movie original including his costume. Every time I saw it I lost my shit.

He drives a stock marauder.....

I think the car was always in rough shape like even in the movie(that was the point it was supposed to be all they could afford) and unless you parked it in a climate and humidity controlled storage(very very expensive) it was going to deteriorate.

Hey, Sony let the property get into bad shape in 2016, but it's since been restored too, which also makes me happy.

Hope they will treat it better now

They mean nothing to the studios that own them....until they need them again. The time machine Delorians were in just as bad shape until they were restored, some by collectors, some by the studio. One sat rotting in Universal Studios for years with zero maintenance. Now reproductions are in the parks. The backlot at Disney-MGM Studios in Florida had the full size Snowspeeder from Empire Strikes Back sitting out there until it fell apart completely. I worked there in 1989 and got photos with it before it died.

That almost made me cry to see. Dear God.

most these good stories are written like that. Harry potter, Lord of the Rings. omg the info behind the lord of the rings, hobbit etc.... star wars. (before disney fed it up). they are great because the nerds can ask whats that and there is an answer. whats this persons background, bam answered, list goes on. casual person like me i dont much care. but i also admire the work they put into it.

And goes to show that a lot more was planned for the franchise but just never happened. Who knows. Afterlife looks to be really amazing from the trailers. Maybe a prequel and flash forward can come in the years ahead.

If Dan hadn't been a world class actor, I could picture him wrenching on classics for the love of it. He has a collection of old ex police and service vehicles stored in an old police precinct building from the 50s. The Ecto would fit perfectly in there.

To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? He that has ears to hear, let him hear. Are you saved? Where will you go when you die? Heaven or hell? The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that who reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell. John 1:1,14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, 1 John 3:8 KJV He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT.

@@jesusisgod2953 pipe down. No one asked.

Many years ago driving through Tunkhannock PA, somebody in front of me had a 60s Batmobile.

Lucky lucky you.

This comment warms my heart

Reading this as a guy brought up in the 80’s and putting myself in this situation put a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye! I’d have been beside myself with excitement, like a 38 year old kid! Haha

a guy down the street from me had an ecto-1 replica just parked on the streetside like a normal car. verry cool to be able to look at it up close like that

Dammit, I saw Ramis with that beautiful grey hair and got all weepy. One of the best comedies *ever* ~

Egon, but not forgotten

R.I.P Harold Ramos

@@drift6386 Harold Ramis*

@African Jesus egon. The Ghostbuster who collected spores, fungus and mold as a hobbie.

Mad Max had a pretty badass car

@@bhargi4692 were talking about one specific car not multiple but yeah I agree

I have it 4th behind the DeLorean, Batmobile, Ninja Turtles van, Ecto 1, Walking Dead Winebego.

​@@michaelr3583 I don't even remember the Ninja Turtles van

And KITT. And the General Lee ... oops

The Green Goblin truck from Maximum Overdrive!!!! Christine!!!

You know what would be hilarious imagine if they made a crossover between Ghostbusters and Back to the Future where dr. Emmett Brown helps to Ghostbusters return to their timeline because something from their timeline is an extradimensional Beast that wants to break the boundaries of Life Death and reality and what makes matters worse is that this Beast was summoned by Alexander tannen who managed to time Jump between universes

Uh... you just watched a video with Dan Aykroyd in it, and you forgot to mention the Bluesmobile...? For shame.

@@ericsantana1184 I would watch that!!!

I think that the ambulance base is a key part that Feig and Dippold missed out on. I've never seen a hearse using sirens of its own. They should've something like... An 80's van that some small ambulance company turned into a basic life support unit.

Batmobile from 89 Batman

@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 Can't argue with that!

@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 Though, there've been so many Batmobiles before and after that most people wouldn't be able to see a random Batmobile pic and distinctly say "That's the 1989 one.".

I thought the same thing

@cowchipsbotme yeah the list would be an awsome car collection if you had a lot of money

A-team van

poor general lee...

The "Christine" 1957 Plymouth Fury is one...

Herbie?

Wrong slang. That's more modern and never really made sense to use a negative term for a positive feeling. Would be better to say "The 80s were awesome!" They were my teen years and I loved, as well as still love, the music and movies from that era. You name a song or film from then and I more than likely have it in MP3 from.

@@Phaota "GTFOH" - Axel Foley

Derrick Dorsey --- Born in '82? You wouldn't have even realised the 80s was happening until they were over, too young. You definitely didn't watch Beverley Hills Cop in the 1980s, unless your parents were totally fucking irresponsible.

@@Liofa73 not sure what kind of water you drank growing up, but I was very cognizant of what was going on after age 5 and remember early childhood very vividly. Thanks tho, glad you were there. As far as my parents go they were about as responsible as any other parent in the 80s so I'm not sure that's saying much lol. But thanks for trying to tell me what I remember. 👍

I was born in 82 also. I wanted an ecto 89 batmobile KITT Airwolf Magnums Ferrari the General Lee and the Coyote from Hardcastle and Mccormick. Man i dreamed so wild and big back then. 80s is probably the best period of my life

I think that smile is for even more than the Ecto-1. Dan's been fighting for years to put a proper Ghost Busters sequel out. Only after the complete failure of 2016 is he finally able to do it.

This is from the first blu ray release circa 2010.

😔

I'm ready. lol

Yeah, I was shocked too. I didn't expect to see his face in this video!

Not Raims,but Ramis.

SURE!?!?!???!?!? WHY SURE

@@kathseye21 😐

Named our truck Egon he memory of Harold Ramos who had just passed when we bought the truck!

Every time you see him on camera, he always had a smile on his face. Never saw him not smiling. He was one of those people that just made you feel better when you saw him.

i kinda Hate pimp my Ride now since the guy that was sooo saying hell fix your car amd they caught onto his act and he wasnt Really fixing them.

I don't think that was a jab, just that was a different version and this is the original so in this world they were the only Ghostbusters and vice versa.

@Ray Caster Yeah I could see that. I have my problems with the 2016 version for sure but it wasn't all bad. Hemsworth was hilarious but they really only caught like what 2 or 3 ghosts.

@Playford Seven That is certainly the general consensus, I agree for the most part but it does have some moments. For me it's only a little under Ghostbusters 2 which wasn't very good either.

Ranman My buddy is a diehard GB fan. Both he and I know that GB 2 was a by the books 80’s sequel that took a lot of beats from the original, including a giant entity going for a stroll through town leading up to the final encounter It still had better visuals, more heart and balanced comedy than anything he saw in 2016’s attempt

Playford Seven My buddy didn’t feel there was much of any “feminist agenda” in the 2016 movie. He just thought it was a crap movie because it was badly written, poorly directed and the effects looked like Las Vegas marquee signs came to life and wanted to be bright neon ghosts

The Ecto-1 is one of my most favourite movie cars beside KITT, Herbie, Christine and the Back to the future delorean time machine

That's because Ivan Reitman didn't want it to look polished. He wanted it to look like they actually made it themselves.

Can to.

I always wanted that boat 😁

I know right??? How it got into the wrong hands is beyond me

The delorean from back to the future? It was way worse. You should look that up on here. Happened to most of the batmobiles too. People just dont care

@@pudgeboyardee32 really??? Damn!

There's multiple stories about what happened to the original Orca from Jaws. One has it chopped up by the studio after it was shipped back to Hollywood. Another was it was parked up in one of the theme park rides and forgotten about. By the time they realised that it was the original, it was too far gone to save.

They bring him back as a ghost...ssshhh don't tell anyone.

Janine had the hots for Louis not Spengler.

@@thug4life2005 Yes,but Louis is not fully canonic. The real lore includes the first movie and the TV series.

Spengler uniform, spores molds and fungus on the trailer :>

im really love Those Iconic car the Delorean and ecto 1/ Kitt /Herbie is my Favorite to watch :)

For me it’s Ecto 1 Delorean The Ferrari From Ferris Bueller The 1966 Batmobile

The General Lee...

General Lee, Bandit Trans Am, Kitt, Ecto 1.

Interesting the 1966 Batmobile was a thing of beauty.

The game is Ghostbusters 3, though.

Technicaly Ghostbusters 4(there was a second ghostbusters movie after the first one that was unknown but it was real) And it is Ghostubsters Afterlife, I am so excited since my dad and I watched the orignal so this seems promising

@@K_B_C Ghostbusters II is unknown??

@@GabePuratekuta yes

@@K_B_C I'm not sure where you got that idea from. It's the first I've heard of Ghostbusters II being unknown. What's your basis for this assumption?

That’s the ecto 1a, it was in ghostbusters 2

@@RealJoePool not sure about that, 1a was kept in better condition, it's the car they're using for Afterlife.

@@MephProduction the ecto 1a was put on display for universal and then when it was damaged by staff/park visitors it was put into a Sony backlot, the story he tells seems to match up

@@RealJoePool maybe, both cars got refurbished

@@MephProduction ecto 1a never got referbished, it was planned to be but was used for parts for the original ecto and then was left to rot again, it was then repurposed to be a copy of the original ecto for use in afterlife

One of ?! This is number 1 easily...for me it is

Good thing Ray was a capable mechanic ;)

Aykroyd

Ich freu mich auch schon auf den Film mit der Original Crew und dem einzig wahren Ecto-1
