That was neat. Almost like an extended prototype of the show's intro. Here, Slimer's more like the little trouble maker rather than the show's comic relief. and the uniforms are all the same tan color like in the movies. Peter's designs look slightly different, though.
The cartoons have never been "denied" as being part of the canon. In fact both the movies and the cartoons (and now the new video game, also written by Aykroyd and Ramis) borrow from one another... I think that Aykroyd and Ramis were smart enough not to alienate the fans of the cartoon, because the cartoon was something that was driving the series heavily for many years... and also helped create a demand for the second movie and the new game they just released.
I have always loved those guys! And do know hard it is to find the full version of the cartoon's theme song? I have heard the Ray Parker Jr's version too much but I love this version better.
I saw those, ha. Amazing how different they are compared to the new game, though I guess some gamers might have similar complaints. A lot have complained about the new game, but I like it a lot.
Yeah, I bought it and it was lots of fun! I haven't watched all of the episodes in the DVD set yet, but I did review the game after I finished it. The review I don't think has come up yet though.
omg at the childhood memories flooding back lol. I can remember coming home from primary school,switching on the TV ready for my fav cartoon! ha ha epic ,also got the game and i love every minute of it,im quite happy just to hear bill Murrays sarcasm any day.
I like this version of the theme too. I would really like to hear the full version of the Extreme Ghostbusters theme. This is the first time that I have seen this promo, and it was pretty good. I like being able to see how the early characters looked before their final edit for the show.
@bulson08= 2 hit movies, 2 tv shows, video games, toys, and much more. Truly, one of the biggest successes of the Eighties. I saw the first movie at a movie theatre inside a bowling alley. The popcorn was too buttery, though the movie was cool. One of the best part is at the end when Slimer flies right at the screen, trying to break the 4th Wall.
The film's theme song, "Ghostbusters", written and performed by Ray Parker, Jr., sparked the catchphrases "Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!" and "I ain't 'fraid of no ghost(s)". The song was a huge hit, staying #1 for three weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 chart and #1 for two weeks on the Black Singles chart. The song earned Parker an Academy Award nomination for "Best Original Song". (from wikipedia)
Waaaaaaaait a minute. . . How in the hell did they manage to fit all those ghosts into one trap, let alone STAY PUFT?! Does the trap have hammerspace or something?
The ghosts look like monsters because if they looked like the typical depiction of ghosts (whitish translucent floating people) they'd be too similar to one another. Drawing them as monsters allows a much wider variety of looks.
I bout it Tuesday morning and finished it this morning (on the easiest setting)! It's awesome for Ghostbusters fanatics like myself, though less so for hardcore gamers as I understand it. It's for a great "in the movie" experience more than anything, though with a new/original story. Catching ghosts is great fun and real does feel realistic and the way it looks in the movies!
Is there any chance I can find the whole entire season on DVD? :3 Too bad there aren't any REAL GhostBusters in real life. That would be awesome. I would soooo join... :3
