Ghostbusters: Afterlife | The OGs Arrive - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
this was done with absolute class. And the way Jason didn't make Egon speak, was pure brilliance which acknowledged the memory of Harold Ramis and respected the character he created, Egon Spangler. This is also how you make a grown man cry.
Agreed
It made it even more touching to have Egon/Harold be silent
I feel like the character egon didnt know how to talk as a ghost because when a ghost talks it might not talk with its mouth it might be using it mind and spirit to talk and communicate
His smile was saying that's okay, my granddaughter tried to tell you Ray but you didn't believe her.
@@Arvyn992 When Egon nodded his head he said yes I understand. But you wouldn't understand what I had planned anyway.
Go see Top Gun: Maverick, right in the feels.
Heroes get remembered, but Legends never die.
"What we do in life, echoes in eternity." ~ Gladiator
Plz tell me you're quoting Sandlot
Unless your Disney’s Star Wars, in which case you better pray they forget you’re a character so they can’t fuck you over
Looking at you, Han and Luke
Heroes always get remembered
But you know legends never die
(Panic at the disco:Emperor's new clothes)
"Follow your heart kid and you can never go wrong" -The Sandlot
Honestly a truly underappreciated quote
I love the "are you, a god?" in this scene. In the first film it was a genuine question, here Gozer already knows the answer and is asking it sarcastically to mock them.
Nice!
Come on Ray!
Ghostbusters 1984 Gozer ask ray Are you God?Then Ray said No. Now when Gozer blast with two hands at Edon Splender and Ray out of the building. Winston saves Peter life. Winston said to Ray when someone ask you is God says yes! And in the Ghostbusters Afterlife when Gozer blast with her two hands at Cali spengler and the her son. When Ray and Peter and Winston show up. And the Gozer ask ray Are you God? Then Ray said yes.
The hesitation by Ray, followed by the immediate "Ray!" From the others, like really?!
well, the correct response would have been "We eat gods for breakfast!"....ah well
The entire theater exploded into a roar when this happened. Egon was always there as a ghost, helping his grand daughter and bringing this moment to fruition. It was a perfect way to send off the old crew and pass the blessing to the new kids. I can't wait for the next movie to see where they take the new team and how Winston does as the voice behind the team. Seriously of all the reboots of old IPs this was done right.
damn right, THIS is a proper reboot DONE. RIGHT. Not that other stupid shitty reboot that was done.
Ngl it feels like a really good reboot because it's not quite a reboot as we see them typically. Typically a reboot ends up hiring new actors to play the old characters (like we saw with the all women Ghost busters reboot that we won't talk about), and pretend like the old characters didn't exist. This is more of a faithful continuation of the OGs, since the new generation has to call on the old to help defeat their greatest enemy one final time before they're truly retired/put to rest in Egons case.
@@xSharpW It's not a reboot at all. It's a sequel.
@@redrick8900 right whoops I'm dumb
Almost as if Harold has been with them all along.
We didn’t get to see Han, Luke, and Leia save the day one last time.
But we got to see Peter, Egon, Ray, and Winston save the day one last time. And that’s really cool too.
A damn shame, they didn’t even get to share the screen together again
@@SupportTheLittleGuy But this was much better than nothing
@@KingGhidorah777 I meant Han, Luke, and Leia not sharing the screen together again.. and they were all alive too, but Carrie Fisher passed away so they wasted their opportunity. They wasted episode 7 and 8
@@SupportTheLittleGuy i thought you meant, Egon, Ray etc didn't share the screen together again as Harold wasn't technically there, but yeah its was horribly wasted, fucking sequels were a dumpster fire from start to finish
Lies again? MILF Division Daughter Nerd
I can’t imagine how much a emotional roller coaster this must’ve been for Dan, bill, and Ernie.
I’m sure they cried as they cashed their checks
Well harold Ramis passed away as well as his character
@@NFStamper You hate life we get it go somewhere else with your lefty lunacy.
I'd be curious to hear Bill Murray's thoughts. He and Harold had a huge falling out after doing Groundhog Day that hadn't been settled by the time Harold died.
Their falling out had been settled they managed get together 1 last time before Harold passed. Bill says this himself
I remember watching this film and crying when Egon appeared... but when Venkman says "I thought you might turn up" I never laughed so hard... and then immediately back to tears. Such a great memory.
Makes me laugh too
Me too. I've never switched so fast from tears to laughters and then back again to tears
everytime i see that scene, it makes me tear up. God bless the original team.
😢😢😢😢😢😂😂😂😢😢😢😢
Me too….
Bill Murray is the best part of this movie. His comment about being a power couple. The way he looks at Egon, looks away, looks back in disbelief, and then looks away like “eh, I bust ghosts for a living, that ain’t unusual” and then says “I thought you might turn up” it’s just golden😂
What's really funny is, Murray dragged his feet for years on reappearing as Peter Venkman because he thought that and I quote "Nobody wants to see fat old men chasing ghosts". Well, the audiences proved otherwise!
He basically the reason why we never got Ghostbusters 3. Him appearing in this movie is sorta closure for the old fans.
I don't understand why a sumerian god is in Oklahoma? Wtf!
@roxtechs we were actually supposed to get a ghostbusters 3 later but when they were planning it Harold Ramis died and Ivan reitman decided not to make it
Throughout this whole movie I thought something was missing and when they showed up I was like Vankmans sarcasm
I like how the reactions of the ghostbusters when they notice Egon's ghost are in line with the characters:
Winston, he couldn't believe his eyes, stunned.
Peter, look at Egon with his usual nonchalance.
Ray, smiles enthusiastically at his friend.
Yea, I felt Peter didn't put on the appropriate reaction. Its like Bill himself was not sure what he was supposed to be looking at, therefore didn't know how to express himself.
Peter, Hey Winston what are you looking a-
Turns head
oh
Turns head
Oh shit, Egon? Cool ig
Turns back around
@@callmepsycho3132 Given it's set in a universe where ghosts are real and his job once was to see them on the daily, I think it is an apt response from his character.
Peter as a character very much just accepted things as they were. It didn’t matter what his beliefs were reality was in front of him.
@@axx012 Honestly I took Peter’s reaction as one of acceptance that he expected Egon to be there. It was sort of a, “What kept you?” expression. Truly in line with Venkman’s character.
"I thought you might turn up."
Now that is how you do comedy. Perfectly timed, yet also subtle without a need to overexplain the joke in order for the audience to get it. Now I need to see the whole thing.
Yeah I agree, I think that’s one of the problems with the 2016 movie. Is that they started a joke, but kept rambling on and on. But this was just perfect
@@MichaelB13 what 2016 movie? There never was a Ghostbusters 2016 movie it was all just a bad dream.
In the original canon Peter and Egon were friends first. Egon helped Pete get his psychology degree because he could barely concentrate. Pete just knows Egon's quirks the best and this line shows it!
Notice he wasn't even surprised.
The immediate silence when Egon's hand appeared and held unto the device was DEAFENING, such a fantastic call in thr sound design and perfectly captures the sheer shock and awe, overall this movie was just a great time
It is such a rarely used thing nowadays it seems. The only movie I can recall that used it in the last 5 years was the Godzilla Minus One movie. It still has such a powerful impact when used as it was in both Ghostbusters and Godzilla.
@@oprimeI agree on both. Seeing scenes like in Ghostbusters & Godzilla brings the emotions to create such a powerful impact to the heart strings. It's a wonderful awe inspiring moments in cinema history, it's rare to see nowadays because Hollywood rather focus on spectacles then storytelling. Ghostbusters Afterlife & Godzilla Minus One are works of art true to its material. Warner Brothers & Disney can learn from that but they never will.
Something I noticed was during most of the scene when Gozer and Phoebe are locked in battle, the camera movement is chaotic, caught up in the energy output of both power sets, the dirt, wind, and so on. But when Egon’s hand appears to steady Phoebe’s neutrona wand, the camera steadies, as if his presence is the calming factor that swings the scene towards the GBs way. And then after the boys provide enough backup and distraction for another attack that’s successful, Egon slowly moves Phoebe alongside Peter, Ray, and Winston - official bringing her into the fold, and setting up the moment for Egon’s plan to finally work.
And with not saying anything and nodding, he acknowledges that even though they had a falling out, he understood, forgave, and was just happy to see them once again, even under these circumstances.
A fantastic way to bring Egon back in a way that is respectful, adds more background as well as character, and leaves a legacy that future Ghostbusters can build upon.
Let me tell you… I was in tears when all 4 of them were in frame!!!
Some people will never know what it was like growing up with these guys!!! ♥️
RIP Harold/Egon
Some of us do.
I could barely see the screen when Egon materialized..literally choking back tears that still spilled over. My entire chiildhood came back for one last wonderful farewell. Rest in peace, Harold.
And thank you.
An EXCELLENT memory for Harold Ramis. A fitting tribute to a guy whose scripts made millions of people laugh.
Yeah that choked me up too, what a great tribute to Ramis.
@@edmontonhermit1156 Harold Ramis wrote Caddyshack and National Lampoons. He would have hated merchandising his image in CGI and repeating tropes from the original to play on nostalgia for older audiences and try and introduce a new generation to Ghost Busters swag. It was a travesty.
If this doesn’t make you tear up as a kid that grew up in the 1980s and 1990s I don’t know what will. Such a powerful scene to remember Harold with.
Or as a kid raised in the early 2000s Ghostbusters theme was sang everyday for the week of Halloween. Not just fans but Real Men who understand the true impact these Ghostbusters had. On us all. Teared up and cried. A fitting end to a wonderful series. I would be fine with videogames though
It is always good when they bring back the legacy characters. I only wish Weaver had more of a role as she was in all the films including the 2016 one. I wonder if they will make a sequel or not. It would be fine to leave it as it is but if they do it make it I hope Weaver and the others get more involved. It is also good that they made a dedicated to Ramis.
@@joebone3151 I agree because I was in 2nd and 3rd grade when I first watch Ghostbuster and ghostbuster 2. This scene made me cry when Egon showed up
My mom dying probably would
This movie was fucking dog shit
My dad introduced me to Ghostbusters as a kid.
Got me the suit, proton pack, traps, all the accessories.
Watching the original movies with him was always a happy moment.
I had to go see this without him having lost him the year before.
I have never cried during a movie, but this scene did it.
He would have loved it.
I bet he was seeing it right beside you like Egon on that scene
Sorry for your loss I watched Ghostbusters alot growing up one of my favorite movies.
I feel you friend. My dad introduced Ghostbusters to me when I was about 6. He took mom to see the original in 1984 when she was pregnant with me! We'd be quoting Ghostbusters all day. Sadly I lost my dad Halloween 2021 just a few weeks before my birthday and Ghostbusters Afterlife debuted in theaters (Birthday is November 17)
Watching the ending scene with Egon embracing his daughter had me balling in the theater. 💔😭
He's still with you, he was there holding your hand and taking care of you while you sleep, he isn't gone, he is just waiting for you in the other side, make him proud, live a long and happy life
@@manusoftar YEAH SURE HE WAS HAHA you're very delusional. dead people arent hanging out on earth or anywhere. they are dead. they have no life hence thats why they are dead and there is nothing after.
It wasn't easy for Egon to show love.
But he did right by appearing next to his granddaughter and helping her steady the beam and stopping her from being pushed back.
kinda like how james and lily potter helped harry during voldy/harry beam lock
And what's so amazing is that even though this is a digital recreation of Harold Ramis, in this scene and when he says goodbye to his family, you can see the emotion in Egon's face and eyes. Its as strong and real as the emotions on the faces of the living actors interacting with him. You see the regret, the sadness and the love all play across his face when he looks at his daughter and it is a wonder.
I love language that he did show, however brief, to his family and friends, resonated. He did care for them all, even if it drove him to do all that he did this set this up, his reputation be damned to everyone. When they saw the bigger picture, they helped, understood, and ultimately forgave.
Respect for the characters, the franchise and the fans.
Plain and simple.
And a dignified and wonderful way to say goodbye to one of the most beloved characters.
I agree, respect the franchise, respect the characters, and respect the actors who made them come alive and become so important to the fans. That's the best way to make a movie.
absolutely right
Saw this in theaters, when Egon grabbed Phoebe's proton wand I instantly teared up.
The instant I seen his hand
@Marcel Darnelle Warren when the original team showed up that's when my 6 y/o went "the Ghostbusters!"
Same
@@AFMountaineer2000 Obviously, your 6-year-old was mistaken. The Ghostbusters are 4 women now.
You cried at this travesty? you're a joke
It's so sad that it took until Harold Ramis was dying that he and Bill Murray made peace. I love this ending scene, Egon saving the day!
At least they did make up in the end, instead of Murray having to live with regret of 'things having gone unsaid.'
Which even the movie itself kinda referenced with Egon's falling out with Ray that was never fixed until Ray met Egon's ghost in this scene.
You can really feel the emotions when he said: "I'm sorry."
thats the trouble with people ....they fall out with each other thinking each will live forever and theres time to make up ..then if someone passes its mega regret for life
Ghostbusters 1984 when gozer ask ray you are God? Then Ray said No.And the Gozer sat then god!.And in Ghostbusters afterlife 2021 Ray says yes this time.
Ghostbusters Harold Ramis rip Edon Splengler like the star wars return of the jedi Force ghost of Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala Skywalker force ghost too.
Egon Spangler is the reason why not all heroes wear capes. Thanks for everything, Harold Ramis. *RIP*
And also Rip Ivan reitman
@@khalilrichardson491 who?
@@jarrodedson5441 Ivan Reitman, the original director for the first 2 Ghostbusters movies.
This scene was done to absolute perfection. It took a grown man to tears when I saw it in theaters, and still has the same effect every time I watch this part of the movie. The respect and reverence for Harold/Egon can't be more obvious than right here.
I'm right there with you. As soon as Egon showed up, I teared up to the point of almost crying.
Same. My eye's immediately welled up as soon as Harold/Egon came into frame.
Your right. This scene was sheer perfection.
Love the hell out of this movie, and look forward to what frozen empire brings to the table.
This is the awkward moment when you realize Ghostbusters Afterlife has treated the legacy of the Ghostbusters Franchise with FAR more dignity than Disney's *ahem* "Star Wars trilogy".
@@DigitalDisciple4555 Frozen Empire sounds interesting. Annie Potts reprises her role as Janine Melman, I understand.
This alone is what separates this film from *_The Force Awakens_* - it actually takes the original characters we've loved for years and brought them together and let them interact!
Same goes for *_Spider-Man: No Way Home_* with the three Peters (Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland).
What a disappointing crap the new trilogy was. Once in a lifetime literally to reunite the old cast and they mess it up and now Carrie Fisher died rip and Harrison would never come back again.
More importantly, *it respected them*
Here the old characters shine in their own light. They steal the scene but not the movie., you don't downgrade them to make the new characters better. You give the new and old characters moments to shine. You don't change the original characters because they had their character development. They're the same and they help to save the day.
This movie, both Creed movies with Rocky know and respected the original characters. Not what star wars did
Man why you gotta make us grieve like this. Starwars is dead and Disney killed it. They can keep making sideshow projects like Obi-wan and the Mandalorian but those are all set before A New Hope or RoS. The main storyline died with Rey skywalker and there is nothing left to build on.
@@ahmedshaharyarejaz9886 no star wars died the minute they made Luke a burnt out old man that lost all hope. The star character, the embodiment of Hope turned into that.....even Star Wars Battlefront 2 Luke treated his character with more respect
What a freakin awesome tribute to Harold Ramis. His importance to this franchise was memorialized with such class and such respect in this film. I’m sooooo happy that we were able to get a proper Ghostbusters sequel after all these years. The sooner we can forget about Ghostbusters 2016, the better.
There was a Ghostbusters in 2016? Must've blacked out that year, or was that on another timeline I don't know of?

I had just lost my parents a few months before seeing this, and seeing Ramis show up made me bawl. It’s amazing what you feel after losing a loved one.
I'm so sorry for your loss...my condolences 🙏
I’m sorry for your loss. My condolences 🙏🏽
I know how you feel and I am sorry for loss. May your loved ones rest peacefully in your loving memory.
I'm sorry for your loss, I can absolutely relate. I lost my brother a few years ago and we always used to watch Ghostbusters 1 and 2 all the time growing up, he pretty much got me into these movies. God bless
cant really call it a loss when they still exist out of body. Just a change@@rickyhyppa7960
That sudden silence from Egon's hand, oh my god, I was gagged and cried my damn eyes out! That'd get to me every time about us who love someone so much and never see them again 😢❤ It was very well done and beautiful film
2:41 "You got a lot of nerve. Coming back here. Crawling back to me. We could have been the most spectacular power couple you know"... Man you just got to love Peter. 37 years and he's still trolling Gozer 🤣
This 6 minutes scene shows a lot more respect to class to the original Ghostbusters than the whole movie of Ghostbusters 2016
we don't talk about that
There was a 2016 movie?
It was a myth… A falsehood… A terrible fabrication.. ghostbusters 2016 should be forever forgotten…
@@multiverse_media2023 yes and personally it’s not as bad as everyone thinks tbh💀
What 2016 Ghostbusters movie? I never heard of it. And neither have you.
I cried when all four reunited. Was so overwhelmingly awesome!
I actually froze, my mouth slowly opened when i realised it was Egons ghost as the camera panned around, and before i knew it emotion got the better of me, tears fell on that day i tell you!
I love this scene, the inclusion and rememberence of such an iconic character and the nonchalant responce Peter gave at the end sealing it as a fantastic scene, thank you to everyone behind the film for including him, it wouldn't be ghostbusters without him - I hope hes resting well in peace knowing they didn't do his character dirty, and showed just how much hes missed.
3:42 is where i let 30 years of tears flow seeing the guys i looked up to, my 4 heroes, finally back together again
You're not the only one
Same here
Yep
I haven't watched this yet because once I do..it's over and I don't want that.
@@ukmedicfrcs oh no theyre doing another game sequel called ghostbusters spirits unleashed, winston bought the ghostbusters company again moved rays occult next to the firehouse and you can play as a customized gb or a ghost, and also sony's ceo said there's more gb movies coming. Winston and Ray are definitely sticking around
Oh man I felt a hit in my gut when these three returned back in this scene they came back for another ghost round up just goes to show legends live on forever
The FEELS!!!!
When the other three understood the reason why Egon abandoned his family and his friends because he knew Gozer the Gozerian would return. That's the reason why he went to a farm and placed all the traps in the dirt and the lever to be used on the porch. While one of the dogs was captured in the ghost trap to serve as bait for Gozer the Gozerian. But in the end all the ghost traps were used to capture Gozer and his entire army and ghost traps. After all the ghost traps have been filled up. Egon's Spirit can pass into the Afterlife and R.I.P. knowing his job is finished for good. (I had to fix a little bit of it so it sound good.)
My theater went insane during this scene
Legends never die
@@candacecassidy3385 because he doesn’t wanna let his friends and his family die
We almost didn't deserve an ending so perfect. I saw this nine times in theaters just to medicate my soul.
this is a right way how to respect the legacy, a right way how to hommage the masterpiece, a right way to make old fans cry...
Not ashamed to admit that I cried when I saw Egon show up like this. He was always my favourite Ghostbuster, much as I love all of them, and the way he was handled here was absolute genius and a perfect way to honour the memory of Harold Ramis and respect his character.
He didn't even have to say a single word either... his love for his family and his love for his fellow Ghostbusters were clear to see just from the expressions.
we all cried we love egon
We all did.
I am right there with you. I was so glad I didn't come across any spoilers because when that spectral arm reached out and grabbed the wand to help steady it, I felt the tears welling up. I was in a packed theater and you just heard a loud, collective gasp. Then when the other streams hit Gozer, there was a cheer that could have rivaled Captain America wielding Thor's hammer. It really was an awesome experience
nothing like animating a corpse for some quick cash. Real classy.
@@Notme195 I bet you're a lot of fun at parties.
This film is not only a tribute to Harold;
but also a tribute to Ivan Reitman , who played Ghost Egon in this movie.
It was a blessing that he contributed and got to see the fruits of his
and Jason's labors.
To live long enough to know that the Ghostbusters are in good hands.
Ivan Reitman was the original director, but he didn't play Ghost Egon - that was actor Bob Gunton.
Jason Reitman had his father Ivan Reitman play the character in the main battle scene; at the team's final attack against Gozer.
Look it up. Whoever told you otherwise was pulling your leg.
@@Phantanos there's literally pictures of Bob in the iconic overalls. Ivan stood in for the close up shots of Venkman turning on his proton pack when Murray left the set.
@@fjorgyn7438 If he stood in for close up shots; it proves that he did perform in the very scenes I stated. It doesn't have to be all the time, yet he's still Ghost Egon in the scenes that were in the movie..
@@Phantanos no, it doesn't. Otherwise why the hell would they have bothered to cast Gunton at all? Face it, man. You're wrong.
I nearly cried seeing good old Egon Spengler I really liked the bread he has he looks good rest in peace old friend
What I loved about this movie is that it just "looked" like the old movies but with a modern "touch". They really stuck to the original ones. And the story makes total sense, everything fit's together even the role of Egon. I was like: "YES!" when the OG's arrived! And the scene when Egon's ghost helped Phoebe with the proton pack it was like a reuniting with his old friends, his family and giving the duty of "ghostbusting" to the next generation.
THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT.
You introduce your own new characters; and let them stand on their own merits; but honor the originals, without lessening the old to falsely aggrandize the new. It was great that the granddaughter had her moment; but wasn't strong enough to do it herself.
Then her grandfather's ghost appears to help guide and support her, like he didn't do in life; but didn't take over. He had faith she could. Which is what all kids want from their elders, validation.
Then the others helped out rather than be spectators or cheerleaders; and they did so of their own volition and inspiration, not because someone told them too.
Lastly, his ghost said nothing. Sometimes it's better to say nothing because sometimes nonverbal ques say everything.
Explain Mad Max
@@GaryTurbo I take it you are amused by my lengthy comment.
Regardless, each Mad Max movie works as a stand alone story, despite following a main character; and depict a different scenario of civilization in a post-apocalyptic world.
1st: attempts to counter an increase in roaming gangs, during the fall
2nd: tribalism vs selfishness, as institutions have failed
3rd: attempts to rebuild and how we remember what was lost
4th: rise and fall of tyrants hoarding resources
I'm sure not unlike the process of the father and son directors when passing off the franchise
This 110%. Tearing down the original and pilfering qualities from it's corpse for the new to stand on undeserved has been the killing blow for the reputation of many franchises over the years. Instead of building off of something great they try to remake and change it into something that it was never meant to be.
Good summary. I also liked the fact that her brother's just about to join in the fight but then realizes there's a more important thing to do (re-energizing the trap grid) and ensures it gets done. It doesn't bring the glory of fighting the Big Bad head-on, but it's possibly even more critical to the final victory.
The bit when Egon appears and the music falls silent is pure class. Right in the feels 💯👌🏻
Actually antman...
@Ian That's true, especially since this movie was probably dedicated in honor of Harold Ramis passing away. However, since Harold Ramis is CGI here, it's too bad the director didn't put a voice recording of him which he said on the first film something like "if the door swings both ways, we'll cross the streams."
I was waiting for original song... the first seconds crescendo.
Sometimes music or lack there of really sets the tone. It’s amazing.
Phoebe had her Gohan moment in this scene, and Egon was Goku.
Man that part where the music dips and then you see freaking Egon help with his granddaughter balance the neutrino wand swear I started weeping like a baby RIP Harold Ramis that long shot with the 4 of them Egon assisting his granddaughter hit me right in the heart
3:42 is probably the loudest silence in movie history. That small snippet alone was enough for everyone who grew up with OG movies to know what was about to happen.
The original was my mother's favorite movie, I lost her in 2009. She and I had watched it in the theaters 6 times, then on VHS, DVD and Blue Ray. Over the years we must have seen it 100+ times. When she passed, I never watched it again. I went to see Afterlife with my closest friend, he knew my mother and the backstory of this movie. I was openly crying for the last half hour. Now I own it on Digital and watch it all the time. Miss you mom, enjoy the movie.
I feel bad for you man.
I am sorry for your loss.
Dude you made me cry. Im sure your mom enjoyed the movie with you
Bro Heaven exists, God is real and Jesus is real. This life isn't living, you receive eternal life through Jesus. He lived to die so we may die to live. You mom is doing good with the Lord and you are going to see her again I promise you.
Hopefully your mom got the chance to see the Ghostbusters video game in 2009 would brought tears
This is a sequel done right. Relatable characters, good writing/story direction, and just an overall blast.
Shows how easy it is to make a good money when you aren't trying to check off the diversity and woke checkmarks.
4:40 I like to think that Peter's thinking 'now there's something you don't see every day'.
Finally, Ernie Hudson got more dialogue than in the previous parts.
Yeah, I've always feel like he was treated as a side character.
@@SlyferSeekerPC Well, he was.
@@SlyferSeekerPC He was literally just a guy looking for a paycheck in the first movie.
I was so happy. Winston was always my favorite.
i am gonna guess that's why he came back
The lack of overreaction to Egons ghost is what makes the scene so good. They are ghost busters. Of course egons going to show up and wink to the team.
Ghostbusters and Fast & Furious sure know how to say one last goodbye to beloved characters may they and all others Rest In Peace
I literally teared up seeing Egon, he was my absolute favorite growing up as a kid!
We can all appreciate the line from Murry's character " I thought you might show up"

It's such as shame that Bill Murray's personal vendetta against Ramos shelved this project for decades.

@@ragedvenom1487 He's referring to the post credits scene where Bill and Sigourney are using the Psychic testing machine from the first movie.
This scene alone in my opinion, was hands down the reason to make this movie worth watching. Unlike a certain unmentionable movie, that pretty much stole the name, this one allowed the original cast to be part of the bigger picture and not some side acts. It made me feel like I could handle a newer younger cast and be ok with them taking over.
The kids didn't just decide to do this, they were led into it by fate, and they accepted the call. The fact that they have the orignal gear is what makes it so much more believable. So, I will say this is defenitly worth while.
I just love BOB GUNTON for being the stand in for Egon, knowing full well he was going to be digitally removed.
But having a person there to hold the stick and allow the cast to react makes it so much damn good.
“Afterlife” reminded me how much I love Ghostbusters. Perfectly done.
For sure
It reminded me that Ghostbusters was never intended to be a franchise.
the film was nothing fancy, just a good ghostbusters story. and that end battle was full of the jokes and wise cracks we expected from the guys. Tears and a lump in my throat with a smile of happyness.
I think that’s what makes it so good. It’s nothing fancy, just good old Ghostbusters.
It Completely made me forget the Abominable 2016 Reboot Film from Paul Feig!!!
In the end, a good ghostbusters story is exactly what we needed.
It's the Ghostbusters sequel we waited 30 years for... So damn worth the wait...
Legit I remember seeing this in theaters and EVERY older person seeing it went "RAAAAAAY" when he didn't answer right away to the "are you a God?" question
I burst into tears when Egon appeared happy and sad at the same time. ❤
I didn’t grow up with Ghostbusters but after watching the first 2 films and this scene came, I instantly got the chills! This is indeed a love letter to Harold and all Ghostbusters fans! RIP Harold Ramis!
3:53 The moment a million tears were shed in the theaters.
A scene that made me burst into tears. Seeing Egon one last time was enough to make me cry harder than any other movie.
Suggest you obtain a life
@@SharpTooth302 Suggest you obtain a heart.
Know what you mean. It takes a lot to tear me up, but this scene (and the goodbyes after this one) did me in.
@@Roadvirus1 There are some movies that are dedicated to deceased cast members, creators, or producers. But the "For Harold" at the end of this film is easily the most perfect dedication of any film EVER. Perfectly placed after the moment Egon passes on, his life's goals finally complete.
It made me cry
2:06 Maybe it's because it's been nearly 40 years since the first movie, but they must have forgot that they crossed the streams on the doorway Gozer came out of in the first movie and not Gozer itself. Either way, they would have been in trouble because, as Egon said, it would cause a nuclear explosion and this time they all would have been wiped out. It's pretty cool though that Gozer could uncross the streams.
Probably because they've done it for so long they realize it's not as dangerous as first thought.
@@stevebragg4256 That could be, yup!! The only other time was was in the RGB episode Captain Steel Saves The Day where they crossed the streams on the water below to cushion their fall. "Might as well go out with a bang!!"
Can't even lie, I cried seeing them all together again.
My favorite thing about this scene is how when Gozer asked if Ray was a god, Ray was paralyzed and then instantly scolded by Winston and Peter like how one would scold a dog in training 😂. Amazing callback
And Gozer asks it in a taunting way. Gozer knows the answer already, but wants to see if Ray will say yes this time.
Still remember on Wiston said to Ray: Next time say Yes!
I think he’s know that if see that ghost 😂😂😂😂
Ray??😒
Oh come on ray….😤
This movie saved the franchise, and my childhood. Thank you.
I feel bad for your childhood.
this movie sucked and the og's look like they are nearly dead. old bunch of washed up geezer actors
@@diablojones Be forever upset that GB2016 Flopped so hard despite having the full backing of the studio and the "right side of history."
@@Supperdude9 the 2016 is the woke version right?
@@justaguy_yt1240 Yeah, the bad version that they won't include in Ghostbusters movie collections.
Man even when Toys R Us was going down and they were liquidating, my local one couldn't sell any of those.
Im such a big baby... I started crying when i saw Harold's "cinematic ghost" such a dope tribute, but felt weird to experience, its like if you know someone personally that died and Hollywood made a Ghost of that said person you knew...😢💯
3:22 I have to remark that the rest of this scene HAS to be inspired by the graveyard duel in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Gozer "are you a god?"
*a long pause*
Peter " oh come on Ray"
I always laugh at that scene it's really funny
"Ray, next time someone asks if you're a god, you say YES!"
Good old Ray. At least he remembered 🤣
If Ray would've said "No!" again, I would've been like, "Damn it, Ray!"
You KNOW the answer to that one!
Freaking Hysterical
When that character showed back up I was praying inside that the line would show up somehow. I lost it lol
"I thought you might turn up"
Oh I love Bill and his humor
Such a wonderful scene, fabulous movie, just beyond that of any words can describe. Fans of the original Ghostbusters will cry when they see Egon, truly a powerful and emotional scene that makes one smile with joy to see the gang together. Honestly I don't think there are too many movies today that I would say are masterpieces. This however I felt truly is a masterpiece
One of the few legacy franchise movies that "soft rebooted" correctly. You can feel the love and respect they all had for the original movies.
The way the music rises as Phoebe starts losing ground to Gozer and then just absolute silence as Egon joins the fray, the music coming back in a more uplifting tone as the tide turns. That was about as perfect as it gets.
I actually cried at this scene. Felt like the perfect way to reunite the original cast.
You are aware Harold Ramis wasn't there right? So it wasn't a real reunion of the entire original cast. You get emotional over CGI and fictional equipment.
@@MoonwalkerWorshiper It was the sentimental behind it. Harold wasn't there but he was there in spirit.
@@teacoon6399 That's not Harold Ramis spirit. That's a CGI rendering of Harold Ramis character Egon Spengler's spirit.
wow that's sad. not a good sad, more of a pathetic sad.
@@MoonwalkerWorshiper wooow, we have a 200 QI here, what a great statement wow im sooo pround of yooou...
Don’t understand how people didn’t like the egon recreation. Makes so much sense storywise, and it’s a beautiful tribute which I’m sure Harold ramis would of loved
You have no idea how hard I cried when Egon vanished and "For Harold" appeared on the screen.
When I first saw this part, I cried. Every time when I see this part to the end it brings tears to my eyes. THIS truly is a Great Way to pay Respect to Mr Rarmis.
Ramis*
have you read any Aldous Huxley ?
I remember going all by myself to the theater to watch this movie, and on the scene when Egon appears and so the four of them are all together, nostalgia hit me hard, and so the tears went down like a waterfall, on the darkness of the room, surrounded by other fans who were also crying due to emotion, such an awesome movie.
I told my gf I waited 25 years for this movie. :D
@@ledeasoakenbough It was worth it, wasn't it? I cried too
I bet the applause was long and loud at their arrival. Been looking for a comment about this, yet nothing.
Anybody that grew up a ghostbusters fan did not have dry eyes once they saw Egon’s hand appear haha. Scene still gets me. Love this movie, worth the wait.
pathetic. id laugh if it wasnt so sad
I love Venkman's doubletake when he sees Egon. "Ok, well this isn't the weirdest thing I've seen today, lets just go with it". haha
Gozer: are you a god?
Ray: ...yes we’re all gods, ghost busting gods!
"Hey, flat top! Have you missed us?"
I love that, and I love how the tiny marshmallow men get so excited when they see them! I didn't want to bother seeing this, but this scene may have just changed my mind!
You should! It was a fantastic movie that really did justice to the original Ghostbusters movies and cast. I went into it with low expectations but high hopes, and came out completely satisfied.
Watched it today! It’s really good!
Aim for the Flat Top!!!!!!!
Plenty complained about "Are you a god", but honestly I think it was perfect. The look of hate and contempt on her face, it was like "Go ahead, say it. SAY IT!" More than having been defeated, the knowledge that the ones to deliver her first defeat were mere mortals must have stung very deep. That "no" has probably been ringing in her brain ever since, and to see the very person who so casually declared his mortality to her before crushing her standing before her once more so confidently, I can't really imagine her saying anything else.
I wouldn't say Gozer had a look of Hate, as much as it had a sense of Sadistic Amusement, it remembered these fools from earlier and knew they could not stop it forever.
@@garethmorgan8326 Probably a bit of both. There was definitely more than a hint of snarl as she said "god". Part is probably amusement and glee that she finally gets to crush the mortals that humiliated her so thoroughly, but also quite a bit of lingering rage that some *mere* *mortals* managed to thwart her like that.
Who complained?
@@vinnyc.1265Look through the comment section. I saw lots of comments back when I first came here talking about how lame they thought the line was or how they thought there should've been some longer speech about vengeance or grudges or something rather than what they interpreted as just a stupid call-back.
@@broEye1 Because people are miserable and don't like fun.
God I cried during this scene. So much tension. So much nostalgia. The torch being passed down. Best way to do it
there still back except for egon in part 2
I had to stop myself from openly weeping in the theater when Egon's ghost appeared. 😢
I didn’t stop myself. I sobbed and cheered.
I lost both my grandfathers at a young age. Yeah, this scene makes me cry.
That's sad.
But completely irrelevant.
My dog just shit on the carpet. Yeah, this scene makes me cry.
@@Ted_Sheckler I stubbed my toe. Yeah, this scene makes me cry.
Cool, thanks.
@@TAYBR00K I love the way that he turns his head and looks at Phoebe
When I first saw this and Venkman asked "Did you miss us?" A whole theatre full of people are said yes. Then we all collectively cried when when the "For Harold" popped up.
Same here
@@MrDash03 SAME!!
I Remembered How LOUD The Theater was When they Applauded the Return of Peter, Winston & Ray, But CHEERED Even LOUDER When we Saw the Return of Peter, Winston, Ray & Egon!!!
...Sure, Jan.🙄
I remember how loudly they booed Leslie Jones.
I was so happy when Egon appeared, I was so sad, but happy. I love this send-off it was beautiful. This is how you do Ghostbusters movie right, it had adventure, action, and most of all heart. A lot of these newer movies forget that a crucial component is a great story and the heart of it all. Rest in Peace Harold Ramis, thank you for making my childhood the best, and thank you for the great memories I have watching you at the drive-in with my parents.
I remember watching this in the theatre & thinking "I wonder if they're gonna show Ghost Egon?' Cuz if they do I'm definitely gonna cry."🤔
Lo & behold as soon as Ghost Egon showed up to help his family....I was crying like a baby.🥺😭
They did a marvelous job at capturing Harold Ramis in that moment, I think that was flawlessly done & a great tribute to him.🌹
Hearing Venkman talk mad shit to their old foe like an ex girlfriend cracks me up so damn good 🤣☠️🤣☠️🤣
That's Venkman. The Mouth of the Ghostbusters. LOL!!!
Yes!! I'm glad they did that, because that was true to his character.
3:42 - The ghostly spirit of Egon Spengler returns to help his granddaughter and the original Ghostbusters
One last fight with Gozer the Gozerian before Egon passes into the afterlife & he thinks now that his job is fully finished. But he regrets it not asking for the help.
the touch I love that really makes that moment hit is how the music cuts out right as his ghostly hand comes out and takes hold of hers, going to total silence before slowly building then swelling as the other 3 join in
Yea, it was the guy from Home Alone.
I'm sure we was very happy to see those four old devils man I really missed them they haven't changed at all since I've seen them
Re-watched this scene after the trailer for the new movie came out.
Gosh, I'm almost 40...and I'm crying...
This is the scene I waited 25 years for. A fitting tribute, a glorious reunion, and 3 generations of *real* Ghostbusters completing the job started back in '84.
Even the mini Stay Puft guys were excited to see it play out.
Goodbye, Egon Spangler. We true Ghostbusters will never forget you. You made being "The Brain" cool.
Bond, w bond
@@buckempire1395 Kinda rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?
@@wbond6692 yes
Im sorry sir, but the “real” ghostbusters were a cartoon
These are the “true” or “original” ghostbusters
@@bryanb6194 let's not split hairs. I was talking about the 2016 abomination.
You know.....the imposters.
1:53 we all love the sound of the Proton pack charging up.
What a wonderful tribute to egon this was. Magnificent
My favorite part is when Gozer mocks them "Are you.. a god?" As she smiles snd tilts her head, so good.
RIP Harold Ramis (November 21, 1944 - February 24, 2014), aged 69
And
RIP Ivan Reitman (October 27, 1946 - February 12, 2022), aged 75
You both will always be remembered as legends.
RIP Lorenzo music
I remember watching this in cinema. Almost everyone including me who are over 20 just started cheering and at the end we all started tearing up.
This was the perfect send off for the OG team and also let the newer generation to carry on the legacy
damn now I regret missing it in the cinemas...
@@linkais3875 I love the way that he turns his head and looks at Phoebe
Teared up when Egon's spirit appeared. So many great memories of watching the original ghostbusters back in the 80s.
I remember that when I went to go see this movie, the theater erupted in great applause when the OGs returned 😂
It was awesome 😊
When Egon's ghost took his granddaughters arm and helped her did anyone else get a dragonball vibe in the best way possible? I usually hate it when they resurrect a dead actor in a movie but this was done so well.
I Got that Same Vibe. When Egon's Spirit Popped in & Helped Phoebe. It was Similar to When SSJ 2 Gohan & SSJ Goku's Spirit vs Super Perfect Cell.
This was meant to be a tribute to Harold from the beginning. It was only fitting that Egon's ghost showed up to help his granddaughter save the day. It was a very respectful tribute to the man and his character.
I mean it fits considering this movies’s about ghosts
Thank you I said this on someone else’s video in the comment section great minds think alike
Glad to see I'm not the only grown ass man who cried over this scene.
yeah you were
You're not the only grown-up to cry over this moment. I'm 4 years shy of 30 and this got me crying like a baby.
I was born in 84 and tears were running down my face when i Saw this in theater
I didn’t!!! Just had something in my eye….
The minute Egon's hand was in view I was crying like a kid. Such an awesome scene. This movie was great.
I loved this movie, didn’t see this scene coming, so it hits you in the feels, I thought it would just be a bill murray cameo and that’s it so seeing all four original ghostbusters was awesome, this is a proper sequel to the first two, let’s just forget the one before this ever happened
The producers had , I think a good concept, but blew it in the execution by not making it a continuation, or apparently in the same universe as the first two.
You mean that woke version before this one? That was a total disaster, I have forgiven chris hemsworth for his role in that travesty.
We can’t forget about the Ghostbusters game known as the third movie before Afterlife came out... shits great
what other one?
@@pauldwalker the Ghostbusters with only females
Ray: "I don't remember this job being so painful."
Winston: "I do."
Yeah, Winston was always the one with his feet on the ground.
Ray and Egon were passionate paranormal researchers, and would have been too excited by what they were doing to notice the lumps.
Winston was doing it for a paycheck so he would've been more aware of the negatives of the job.
But all of them liked ghostbusting. Even for Winston the lumps were worth it
