They didn't ransomly select the Scoleri Brothers in the sewer. The Scoleri Brothers haunted the court house but weren't powerful enough. The slime in courtroom gave them enough energy to manifest fully.
@@jedijones That always bothered me too, until I remembered it's an improv comedy and he's literally handed a candy bar in that scene, in the first movie, which does maintain in the second: "He's Weakening!" "He's back in the painting!" Does Cobalt(whatever the fuck)....He is the serious one in the second one. "Two in the box, ready to go, we be fast and they be slow.....
Slimer was always a pet and mascot. He never hurt Peter in the first film. The Real Ghostbusters pilot episode takes place right after Marshmallow Man incident. Slimer becomes their good buddy then.
@@topmandog1 Although it did occasionally subvert the trope. Like the one Christmas ep with 10 & Donna where everyone in London shelters at home because the last several Xmases have been total nightmares.
*RIP to Wilhelm von Homburg, Hank J. Deutschendorf II, Max von Sydow, David Margulies, Janet Margolin, and of course Harold Ramis and Ivan Reitman.* P.S. No sin off for Louis's testimony?! "...But I don't blame them. Because one time, I turned into a dog and they helped me. Thank you."
@@barkboingfloom The cause of death was suicide. But should you ever experience the death of someone under the age of 30, perhaps you will remember this comment and find comfort knowing that at least they didn't die as a child.
0:43 Imagine Ivan Ooze as the main villain of Ghostbusters. "All the things I have missed! The Black Plague! The Spanish Inquisition! ... The Brady Bunch Reunion!"
16:40 - At the beginning of the movie, Vigo says "Find me a child" not instructing him to bring him the child. NOW he's commanding him to BRING him the child that he found.
you can get 100,000 people to ignore a whole lot of dangerous background activity if there's a football game going on in front of them. add another few hundred thousand if you put taylor swift on a stage. whether people panic or not depends on what else is going on in their environment.
I know people generally poke fun at this movie, that it’s a big step down from the first… but I was 6 when this came to theatres and saw it a year later when we rented it… and I really enjoyed it. Thought it was scarier than the first and had fun movie. Maybe if I saw it in my teens or as an adult I would have scoffed at the premise, but the underground scenes and the stuff with Oscar left a big impression. Love both the originals
I loved the visuals when I was a kid. Only thing I didn't like was the Bobby Brown song. I remember getting the cassette when I was 5, listening to "On My Own" and thinking it sucked compared to Ray Parker Jr.'s. I have since 180ed my opinion about it and find it to be my favorite Bobby Brown song.
Agreed - that shit blew my damn mind as a kid. That shot where she’s walking down the street and you can see her size relative to the surrounding buildings gives me chills every time.
In the commentary someone points out "There's no smoking in this one." To which Harold Ramis replies "No. We did ecstasy." I thought he was joking until I saw Orange County where Ramis convincingly portrays a man on ecstasy.
@@ZrankFappaHExcept it isnt. That is just what the hardcore simping cinemasins fans wants you to believe. Cinemasins themselves have said many times they arent a joke, they arent a parody, they are a movie critic channel.
Those are the subtitles from the DVD, not subtitles created by CinemaSins. I used to watch all my movies with subtitles on and I still remember seeing that.
Ghostbusters 2 is one of those movies that I loved so much as a kid that I kind of naturally let a lot of the plot holes slide as an adult. I freaked out when they were using a NES Max to control the statue of liberty when I saw it in the theater and it still makes me laugh today even though it's completely ridiculous.
@timewarriorsaga The choas he brought to the city should have had so sort of after effect on the city but then nothing from part 1 was explained in part 2
I believe the reason Janosz targets Oscar in particular is because he already had a crush on Dana before Vigo influenced him. His devotion to Vigo isn't superceded by his desire to be with her, so he kills two birds with one stone (despite the fact that he thinks stealing her child will just not matter after Vigo takes him over, and Dana will just agree to be Janosz' wife, lol.)
Funny thing about slimer; the movies never called him that, the movie documentation only refer to him as Onionhead. It was the audience that called him slimer, which was then adopted by The Real Ghostbusters animated series.
@@Ozzymandius1my dude, I think that was kinda the whole point of op's joke, though maybe your addition of factually how long it's been since the mouse *didn't* do a remake adds to the humor?
Come on…the Statue of Liberty literally breaking thru a barrier of hatred with an entire crowd singing along…movie moments don’t get much more feel-good than that.
6:32 I will say the Winston disappearance in the courtroom scene baffled lots of ppl to where he went. He's a freakin' GB for chrissake, like shouldn't he had been there? But then we heard the actor say how little he was used and paid. They did Ernie Hudson dirty. I think even Dan Aykroyd back him on that.
He's there for moral support, it makes sense that as employees he and Janine may not have been charged with anything. As the legal owners of the business everything falls on the main three.
The river of slime was there the entire time, it served as a backup plan to bring Gozer to our dimension. Vigo just happened to be able to tap into it to increase his own power.
Massive missed opportunity, Dana's baby should be special because Dana was possessed by the guardians of gozer. Also, that would have been a great Ghostbusters reboot story... Baby Oscar has some special psychic connection to the Ghost world because his mother was permanently connected to the spiritual world in that whole gatekeeper keymaster thing.
"How many people here are a national monument? Raise your hand " I laughed at that when I was young because I always enjoyed Peter's silliness. I didn't get the full appreciation of the brilliant joke until decades later in my adulthood. 😂⏳
Sigourney on the steps looking ominously into the city is perfect foreshadowing for both the slime absorbing the museum and the door slamming shut. Like, you do know she was one of the best actresses of the 1980's right?
17:27 Scary mother fuggin poppins.... that's the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life, and the only time you could ever use that Pun. All of the sins off!

Vigo's full name is listed as "Vigo Von Homburg Deutschendorf" in "Magicians, Martyrs And Madmen." The name is a mix of actors from the movie. Wilhelm von Homburg portrayed Vigo and William T. Deutschendorf and Henry J. Deutschendorf II portrayed Oscar.
I don’t think Louis’s contribution qualifies as “stolen valor”; he really did think he helped save the day, whereas most perpetrators of stolen valor KNOW they were never police/military/firemen/paranormal exterminators 😅
Plus, he declares "I'm with you, guys" as he blasts the slime. That kind of camaraderie must be some pretty powerful positivity against the negative mood slime.
16:55 Vigo wanted a child, and had previously requested a child but was now demanding one - suddenly movie is movieing and there's a deadline. But also, Janosz wants Dana, who happens to have a child. So they each see an opportunity for both to get what they want. "Wife to you and mother to me."
The slime is all over the city as the montage shows. His influence can flow through these channels, just like with the baby carriage and bathtub incidents. His "living presence" could see them as they peeled back the layers of his photos.
11:00 I never understood why they had the Ghostbusters 2 logo on their uniforms and ectomobile. It would be like Superman adding a "2" to his chest in Superman II
Because it was their second shot at ghostbusting after being out of business so it was a company rebranding. That's why they don't have 2 in the logo during the birthday scene.
@@wizzydoesdallas3408You don’t see the no ghost logo with three fingers in Afterlife or with four in Frozen Empire. The obvious answer is so they can sell more merchandise with minimal effort.
Yeah, they kept calling it "the red slime" in their video for Frozen Empire when it's always been called pink slime. The slime river has a more elaborate color than smaller quantities due to different recipes for different scenes. I once got a container of red sauce from a Chinese joint and instantly heard Peter's line: "Should I get spoons?"
The most unbelievable part of this storyline is that the defense industry didn’t notice the portable energy weapon technology and already buy these guys out for a billion dollars.
He-Man was popular in that period, I remember playing with the action figures . Back at my childhood, we didn't care about the unbelievable high number of recycled animations inside an anime .
You believe wrongly. The original has way better pace and gets into the action much sooner than this one does, there’s rarely a moment that stands still.
10:48 notice the name on the screen "Vigo Von Homburg DEUTSCHENDORF. His real actor name is Wilhelm Von Homburg. And the long last name is the actual one of both baby actors who played Oscar.
Maybe the ghost train was from that Thomas the train episode where a train was punished by people bricking up a wall to keep stuck in a hole. It died there of Boredom and Loneliness.
They could have easily had it so Vigo was specifically targeting Dana because of the residual ectoplasmic whatever she had from the time Gozer got turned into a dog.
In germany the kids on the birthday don‘t wait for „He-Man“ but for „Muscle-Man“. I just can‘t say if it was a licencing-issue, because He-Man was known here.
Assuming weight, when Egon measured the baby to be exactly 24 inches tall in the movie, it is only because the flexible tape measure goes up to 24 inches. I know this because I have the exact same ruler from when I did costume design in college.
0:57 - I thought the same thing the first time I saw this movie. He-Man hadn't been popular with the kids for some time by 1989. These kids wouldn't have even been old enough to remember when He-Man was popular.
So Egon explains that if they went any faster in the statue, it would break. Meanwhile they just slammed its arm into a museum roof and that did nothing i guess
Ray said he was afraid the vibration could shake her to pieces, hence their pace. Slamming the torch into the skylight was a downward motion, so if the statue fell against the building, they would still be able to grapple in. The statue wound up falling on its back shortly after, probably due to the tape stopping or the slime drying up.
He-Man was definitely still that popular. Possibly even more so than that kid represented. Oh the good ole days of.... awkward cartoons made to sell toys.
I absolutely love the King Missile Detachable Penis reference here in the wild. It’s surprisingly rare to find other people who remember that gem from the 90’s!
Pedro from Up In Smoke? I hope that's a joke. Yes he played a character named Pedro. But his name is Cheech Marin, as in Cheech and Chong. As in Cheech and Chong's Up In Smoke.
@@SergioArellano-yd7ik Yes but this is CinemaSins. And he made that comment as If Cheech was just some extra that you happen to see in a different movie as well. Cheech and Chong are iconic. I don't think anybody thinks of that character as Pedro from Up in Smoke. When I was 8 years old and saw this in the theater I thought to myself "Oh look it's Cheech".
That prediction about the world ending 2/14/2016 was interesting, considering that was just a few months before the infamous reboot came out, which, for better or worse, was the next time anything with the name "Ghostbusters" was in theaters. Maybe that was the day they finished making the movie, which nearly destroyed the franchise.
You mentioned Don Mattingly, and I think its cool because he and I are both from Evansville, IN and I actually lived a block away from Garvin park which has a living memorial of Don, and I went to school and played football and basketball with his son Preston.
