Everything Wrong With Ghostbusters II In 23 Minutes or Less 

Is it sad that the idea of a whole group of people not believing that a very public event happened no longer seems unrealistic to me?

Lewis' speech in the courtroom is pretty hilarious. "I don't blame them. Because one time I turned into a dog and they helped me."

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.

I like how this movie gave Egon more of a personality than the first one.

I don’t think slimer was ever really evil just chaotic

*Welcome to another episode of "THIS HASN'T BEEN SINNED YET?!"*

21:45 - "I'm questioning why there is no Dana." Because..... There is no Dana, only Zuul!😊

🎶 Do…Re…Egon 🎶 That should’ve taken 10 sins off at least.

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.

"We had part of a Slinky. But I straightened it."

*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."

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.

The Ghostbusters team just enjoyed their very enthusiastic walks.

22:17 "A person is smart but people are dumb panicky animals and you know it." - Agent K from Men In Black

As a kid, I SWORE Egon said "epidermis" and that has stuck with me all these years 😂 The sin here, as always, is..... kids. *ding*

4:51 That is Egon speaking, not Winston. That's one sin for not knowing which Ghostbusters are which.

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 His devotion to Vigo isn't superceded by his desire to be with her, so he kills two birds with one stone (despite the fact that he thinks stealing her child will just not matter after Vigo takes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.)

5:35 Vigo would rock at the concert with his Black Metal Band.

“…in a castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood!” Yeah, hemorrhoids do be like that.

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

"Scary Poppins".... chefs kiss

Damn, I love the haunted train scene. As a child, that _terrified_ me

The Statue of Liberty sequence is extremely imaginative and so well done. Iconic almost. I was hoping for a sin off for that part.

The biggest sin is that there was no mention of Vigo the Carpathian in Ghostbusters afterlife.

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.

The Masters of the Universe movie came out in 1987, so the He-Man references aren't so off.

I'd say Louis throwing the stream just made the crowd cheer which created more positivity

Well at the end with the Statue of liberty, maybe they just use the same thing they use to get her to the museum to get her back to Ellis Island?

17:11 God, baby Oscar on the ledge traumatized so many movie goers at the time. 😱

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.

I’ve checked their entire sin catalog, and somehow they’ve never sinned the original South Park movie (Bigger, Longer, Uncut).

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.

7:45 biggest sin is you guys haven’t sinned my cousin Vinny yet? Don’t make me tell Joe Pesci

I think the best part of the part with Peter's tv show is that had Vigo succeeded Milton would have been 100% correct.

4:51 you put Winston instead of Egon. Sin for you cinemasins (ding)

As an 80's baby I can confirm in fact He-Man was still popular

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.

Actually, according to Legal Eagle, My Cousin Vinny portrays very accurate courtroom demeanor.

1:12 The Ungrateful Bastard trope in a nutshell in this movie.

The last time I was this early, Disney wasn't making remakes

"This pink slime basically does what the movie needs it to!" Congratulations on finally figuring out what a McGuffin is!

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 😅

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?

Love the Depeche Mode reference with Martin Gore 😂😂

The moment Vigo was putting up his first speech in the picture I was actually thinking: "This would be a banger opening for a Metal concert!" :D

Wouldn't the water have washed off the slime from the inside of the Statue of Liberty while it crossed the harbor?

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!

I love Egon’s shit eating grin after the “Do Re Egon” part. Like he’s so proud of that one.

That Legal Eagle name drop is the crossover we need to see.

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.

I was seven when this movie came out and I remember thinking even then "He-Man isn't popular anymore."

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.

Winston should have suplexed that ghost train

Vigo didn't mess with the dark room from the painting in the museum: the photos had his --- in them. He could not have done anything to Winston.

He-Man was still a thing back in 1989. Watched it before school at a friends.

The pink slime consistency is all over the place, sometimes its Pepto Bismol and other times it like sauce you get with fried wontons.

God this movie terrified me as a kid. That slime was far scarier than Alien.

I met Harold Ramis years ago while working at a speciality pharmacy in Glencoe. He lived in the area. He was always my favorite Ghostbuster. 👻

24:40 I never recognized they used that line for Groundhog day. Excellent!

If Ghost SHIPS make sense, what the hell is the problem with a Ghost TRAIN?

I like the second one better than the first one because I believe that the second one has more action than the first one.

13:57 I never thought I would hear CinemaSins unironically use the word rizz.

"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. 😂⏳

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 reason Slimer was changed into a 'good' ghost was to tie into the cartoon series where he was a part of the team

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.

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

6:15 this scene scared the hell me as a kid thanks to the creepy music score playing when turn on this eye lights.

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.

Slimer is chaotic neutral. He's evil or good, just lives for the anarchy 😂

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.

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 .

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

I laughed super hard at that King missile reference

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.

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.

12:50 I mean, come on, "he says the Titanic just arrived" is iconic from GB2 - does the ship have a soul?

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.

I have a soft spot for that movie. Saw it in theatre back in the days still being a teenie. I had two very entertaining hours on a boring cold day.

Ray you're not sleeping with it are you????

It's like someone who didn't watch the movie came up with half these sins.

Janosz was my guy in part 2 “The upper Vest-side” And beautiful shot at the end with the statue and the two towers in the background.

Ghostbusters 2 was a great movie.

So was Alan Rails, the guy who can summon Ghost Trains, was in NY in 1989?

King Missile joke? I'm here for it! Great song!

“Why would nobody wanna get in on the action if busting makes you feel this good” 🗿 “I would still prefer to see more busting!” 🗿

A shame he cant Sin the 2009 video game. Which was for all intence was the unofficial third movie. It followed up on most of the elements found in the first movie.

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.

7:46 actully Legal Eagel sited that as one of the more acurate repersentations of court room procedings, so I think you're in the clear.

3:27 as a HUGE Depeche Mode fan, I laughed right out loud at this. 😂😂😂

The lack of a mustache on Winston is worth five sins, at least.

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.

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!

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.

3:02 What an insane foreshadow to 2016 Ghostbusters. The franchise really did nearly end with that one.

No mention of bill Murrays brother was also in this film

Murray and yonoshs handshake is so fkn funny omg I just cried alil 😅😢😅😅😅😅

ghost nanny - “scary poppins”. nice one!
