The actor who played the university dean who fired them, currently lives in Dana's apartment building (55 Central Park West). We all turned up there for Ghostbusters Day in June, and he happened to be heading out to do his grocery shopping, only to be surprised by hundreds of Ghostbusters in costume. Very surreal moment 😅
@@ShreeNation He has a small role in *Good as it gets* a great movie from the 90's with one of my fav. actors Jack Nicholson in my least favorite genre *romance* but his is also a family movie, drama, a little bit of comedy a rare movie combination. So it has to be good i guess ^^
The car is a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor, which was sold either in either an ambulance or a hearse option. Only around 100 of them were ever made, and Sony owns three of them. Many of the others are owned by fans around the world who've meticulously converted them into Ectomobiles. Others have purchased later models (eg the 1962) and converted them back into 1959 replicas.
One of my favorite funny moments in this movie: Egon: Well, let’s say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. According to this morning’s sample, it would be a Twinkie…35 feet long weighing approximately 600 pounds. Ray coughs in surprise- Winston: That's a BIG Twinkie
Slimer was designed to look like John Belushi's character from Animal House. What makes this movie funny is that the main characters have different personalities. Ghostbusters 2 is set around Christmas/New Year's.
This is a timeless classic, not just as a comedy movie with horror and mystery elements.. This is one of these movies, were you clearly can see, the actors actually having fun on set. Specially Bill Murray as Venkmen and Rick Moraines as Lewis aka the Keymaster who always locks himself out. 😆
Top 3 movies that belong to my early childhood showed by brothers and godmother before I was 10: Beverly Hills Cop, Heartbreak Ridge and Ghostbusters. These movies basically are my creed and existence as cinephile. I remember even Ghostbuster's toys. Ones with lever on back that made "rays" turn and move in daycare before I began school... Man I am getting so old
@@ShreeNationHello! Beautiful Shree.🥰The theme song in this Ghostbusters movie by R&B Singer Ray Parker,Jr.(Detroit MI native) was sued by *Hugh Cregg III (*real birth name) aka Huey Lewis And The News his band name for the music to his hit song 'A New Drug'.Mr.Parker,& his lawyers settled out of court and royalties $$$.Huey Lewis you can see him in Back To Future Movie with the bullhorn telling Marty McFly "You're just too darn loud"😂
This movie once paved the way for a cartoon series from 1986 to 1991 called _The Real Ghostbusters,_ to avoid confusion with _another_ cartoon series that came out in '86 just called _Ghostbusters_ with a canon that revolved around different characters. This series carries on the same canon from the movie you just watched. I remember, one episode showed our heroes all being flown out to meet a client who sends his limo to pick them up from the airport and Peter, riding in the car, picks up a corded receiver, hung on the wall and remarks, "Hey, guys. Check it out. A _car_ phone," which was quite the novelty, at the time. Winston regards him for a moment, and says, "Why don't you call your mother?" Peter considers that for a moment and hangs it back up, again. "She doesn't have a car."
"Figure Eight". There's no Figure Eight card in the Zener deck, that's why the male student was so confused by how she guessed correctly. There's only a Circle, Plus Sign, Wavy Lines, Square, and Star. It's like someone winning a game of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" with "Army Tank" 😂
I don't know if you play video games at all but after Ghostbusters 2 Harold Ramis and Dan Akyroyd wrote the story for Ghostbusters The Video Game and it was the unofficial 3rd movie. Before Ghostbusters Afterlife was even a possibility.
Wonderful choice. Iconic song. Excellent cast. Good blend of practical effects and CGI (although there are certain parts where the CGI is less than stellar). John Belushi(RIP) was originally slated to play Peter Venkman, but due to his passing from an over indulgence of a certain prohibited chemical substance Bill Murray was asked to play the role and I’ve always wondered how Belushi’s style of frenetic over the top acting would have changed the dynamics of the movie. Namaste 🙏.
@@tomhoffman4330 Thank you for this tidbit of information. This is why I like this channel, Shree and her guests always give new insights into movies that I’ve seen before and it makes me want to watch them again from this new perspective. Thank you again.
There is no CGI in this film, zero computers were used. It's all practical VFX. It should look better than it did, some of it was bad even by 1984 standards, but they were on such a tight deadline that they didn't get a chance to go back and do things properly. Sometimes they'd send a test shot to Ivan Reitman and he'd say "good enough, it's in the film, go start on the next one". That's why you have the top of the apartment building "floating", and the unfinished stop motion animations of the terror dogs. If they had another month it would have looked amazing, but they were required to have the film finished by June 1984. For the scene with Slimer flying around the chandelier, they had made a Miniature Slimer model. But they lost it before filming, so they painted a peanut green and used that 😂
Those are not letters. Those were cards for the catalog system. Each book would have a card assigned to it. The true nightmare would be resorting all those cards before the patrons have to look for a book again. Ectoplasm was actually a reputed phenomenon during seances to indicate a manifestation of a ghostly presence. I have wondered for ever why the hell dog in the fridge said her own name, Zuul. Then, recently I figured it’s Vince calling out to Zuul, perhaps calling to Dana in anticipation of her possession by Zuul.
I always wonder if people watching this movie now know what those were. In a really big library, you'd have a whole section of drawers like that on every floor, and searching through them was the only way you could find anything before libraries were able to start using computer databases.
@@ShreeNation I'm starting to get more flashbacks how those card systems worked. The books were sorted on shelves with the Dewey decimal system. You would go to the cards and look up the author, title or subject of your book (a different section of drawers for each). You would then write down the Dewey decimal number of the each book. Libraries would often provide little pencils and sheets of paper for doing just that. When doing a study or report, I'd wind up with a sheet full of Dewey decimal numbers. And unlike the current database systems, this didn't tell you if the books were already checked out or not. If you needed many books for a report, you might come up empty and have to go back and look up more cards. This was the case through the 80s and 90s until libraries started getting computers. I seem to remember that microfiche files were a thing back then too. To look up old newspaper articles at the library, you'd check out microfiche files and look at them through a viewer at a microfiche station.
Damn, I hate the fact that I missed the premier. Hell with it, I'ma just timestamp you to oblivion. :D 3:03 Notice how every time he shocks this guy, he gets more accurate in his guesses. He might actually have latent psychic abilities and Peter's theory is actually correct. 😆 5:15 There are some theories in paranormal studies that relate to the correlation of mental states/hormones like puberty and psychic/spiritual phenomena. So besides just being a joke, his question isn't entirely uncalled for. The fact that he's the one asking, though, since he clearly thinks of his profession as a joke just makes his demeanor amusing. 9:23 Rick Moranis! Staple of 80s kids' childhoods! 15:08 We all love Annie Potts/Janine. 16:33 The proton packs (nuclear accelerators) concentrate positively charged particles into a narrow beam through the neutrona wand/particle thrower that directly counteracts the negative energy produced by ghosts. Believe it or not, there's some actual science behind their equipment, though of course the functionality is pure science-fiction/fantasy/paranormal-based. 20:27 Egon signalling the prices to Peter. lol 21:29 Based on a story one of Dan Aykroyd's friends/family told him supposedly happened for real. In the original script it did happen for real, while they were staying in a haunted house on a case. 21:40 Earnie Hudson! Winston always was my favorite Ghostbuster, right next to Egon. 22:10 That's 6,000 BC. That's at least 7,984 years old. 24:17 Funny you should mention that... 40:03 Notice the location of the stairs. Right behind where Dana's fridge was. 42:25 When Gozer moves between worlds, it has to take a new form. That form was the one previously used in the dimension it just came from, so it de-materialized. 45:56 Basically, crossing the streams caused enough of an energy back-draft that it forced Gozer's dimensional door shut. 47:54 In a deleted scene, it's shown they actually do remember that...they just agree to agree that it didn't happen. But I'm sure Rick Moranis didn't mind getting dipped by Sygourney Weaver one bit. lol This whole soundtrack is awesome. Ghostbusters 2 and Afterlife are really damn good. Though neither lives up to the original, but that doesn't mean they're bad by any means. I heard some iffy stuff about Frozen Empire so didn't see that one. As for the 2016 remake...the less said about it the better. Just avoid that. It's not worth the 2 hours of your life. The animated series from the 80s is a lot of fun, though! :)
One Police Plaza is right behind 1 center Street, in Mahattan. This is directly next to the manhattan start of the famed Brooklyn bridge. City hall is opposite and down he street from 1 center st. All within 3 blocks of where a certain defendant was found guilty of 34 counts related to an affair. When this movie was made the city cordoned off most of that area for filming that outside scene of the vehicle driving out with police protection. It was on Sundays, they did filming to minimize traffic.
Ghostbusters 2 was a pretty good sequel and has some fun moments. I'd definitely recommend it. Ghostbusters 2016 was a woke mess that seemed to be made just to troll fans of the original movies. We try to forget it exists. Ghostbusters Afterlife is another sequel of the original movies picking up 3 decades later. It's worth seeing.
The car is a 1959 Cadillac Miller Meteor combination car. It could be used as an ambulance or a hearse. That one that Ray found was in the ambulance configuration.
This is in my top 5. It has the best line in any movie ever. When you get to the dickless line, you'll know. Top 5. Predator,aliens, Ghostbusters, young guns, (not even a fan of westerns) prob back to the future
"Ghostbusters is one of the most lovable movies ever made, and 90 percent of that is Bill Murray's fault. If you actually look at the character of Pete Venkman, he's a borderline sex offender who uses electrical torture as a punchline. He tells presumably-dicked representatives of the Environmental Protection Agency that they have no dicks. He mocks the spirits of the dead in a world where he knows they can hear him. If Bill Murray wasn't a comic genius we'd probably be asking why someone made a movie out of some script they found on death row." --Seanbaby
11:07 "What in the _Scooby-do_ mystery machine? What is this _car?_ It's that most ironic of vehicle choices; a hearse. These were originally designed to transport coffins.
21:00 "So... whatever the f*ck was in her, uh, kitchen, in her fridge is not _bothering_ her, anymore?" That's a really good point. I mean, when she first saw it, that should've shown her it was time to move out. And when she came back with Dr. Venkman and _he_ didn't find any supernatural presences, she ought to have seen that as an indication that it was safe to gather a few _things_ before she moved out and reported it to the landlord as she turned in her keys.
Shree, I think you might like the animated Ghostbusters series that ran from 1986 to 1991. It was animated by DiC studios (who did a lot of big stuff in the 1980's, such as Inspector Gadget, Heathcliff, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, etc). It was mostly based on the films, though the characters were changed, and the green blob is now part of the team, as a sort of mascot (though in later years, they gave him the Steve Urkel treatment, as in giving him the spotlight more than the Ghostbusters themselves). You'll notice the animated series is called "The Real Ghostbusters", since when the first movie was being made, Filmation did make their own "Ghostbusters" series in the mid 1970's (it was a sorta comedy series) and sued the studio making the movie. In 1986, DiC made "The Real Ghostbusters" and Filmation made "Ghostbusters" the same year, the latter series being a sequel to the 1970's series, but the main characters' (not retired) sons take over the business. Both series are fine, just keep in mind each series is a TOTALLY different thing. The Filmation series was more like a He-Man type show, but with ghost hunters, rather than barbarian warriors. The "Real Ghost Busters" really did some scary stuff......zombies, Lovecraft-esque stuff, vampires, and so on. The characters themselves were changed a bit: Peter now looks like a GQ model (with Garfield's voice), Egon took Ruby Rod's hair style, Ray now looks like someone's dad, and Winston lost the mustache. Here is an episode of "The Real Ghost Busters" th-cam.com/video/bpuci75L-to/w-d-xo.html I think the entire series, or at last good chunks of it, are on TH-cam. Would be real cool if you can react to this episode, at least.
"Ghostbusters Inc is going to be a booming business." That's the logical expectation, and the old pen and paper role playing game let you play as a Ghostbusters franchise in your hometown. It was a pretty cool game.
Yes! This was another favorite from my childhood. Another movie my parents took me and my sister to see when we were kids. I can still remember the movie theater and the popcorn. We were so excited! When this movie came out it was such a huge pop culture phenomenon--there were toys, books, posters, records, music videos. It was just another movie everyone just had to rush to the movies to see in that great summer of '84! And, boy, there were so many great films to see that year: Ghostbusters, Karate Kid, Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom, Gremlins, The Last Starfighter, Star Trek 3--The Search For Spock. Honestly, me and my sister weren't scared because we knew it was supposed to be a funny movie. I mean, think about it, when you see a movie trailer with a giant walking marshmallow, you know it's not something to be taken seriously. What makes this movie work for me is: 1. It's a great parody of the scary films that came out around that time, there hadn't been many other shows that made fun of ghosts... suddenly, for kids our age, we didn't have to be afraid of the "monster under the bed" anymore; 2. I love how Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis would say all the techno babble and then Bill Murray just pops everyone's bubble with a sarcastic line. This is classic stuff and I'm so glad you reacted to it!
Love Ghostbusters! I saw it the theaters when it first came out seen the other three in the theaters too thinking about getting the Ghostbusters logo as a tattoo
William Atherton (The EPA guy) didn't know he was going to get that much shaving foam dumped on him when the character gets covered in marshmallow. His reaction is genuine. Also, sadly for Atherton, who is reported to be a genuinely nice guy, he was hounded by random people for decades yelling "Hey dickless" at him. He actually got really angry with Director Ivan Reitman over it.
👻 Whenever anybody enjoys this film, I always advise them to also check out Tim Burton's "Mars Attacks!" (1996). It's another goofy sci-fi horror comedy with similar vibes and an extremely stacked cast. 😎👍
So, I've finally convinced You to watch "Ghostbusters" huh?!? (LOL) Hey Shree👋I'd Promised You a Timeless, Comedy Classic😂and I Hope this one lived up to All of My Hype!🙏Let's All have FUN and share some Laughs here today...👍 Facts: Dan Aykroyd's Original Idea for this Movie was actually more Sci-Fi🤔it would have been set on a Space Station, and the Ghosts would have been Aliens! Co-Star Harold Ramis & Director Ivan Reitman (RIP to both) helped Aykroyd to modernize His Script: setting them ON Earth😇and in New York City! However, Reitman liked the Designs for the Alien Ghosts👻so much that He decided to keep them / use them anyway, to give His Movie an even more Unique look!👌
🔔 SHREE ➡ So after they spent time, effort & $$$ making this movie, they forgot one teeny-tiny detail: They forgot to register the name! Oopsie! So when they made a Saturday morning cartoon show, they had to call it 'The Real Ghostbusters' because some company already had made a (POS) cartoon called 'Ghostbusters' before them!
And way before that one, in the '70s, was a live action TV series of the same name starring Forrest Tucker (Kong), Larry Storch (Spencer) and a man (Robert Burns) in a gorilla suit (Tracy).
glad to note that your predictions about the future of ghostbusters are completely wrong! the second movie will definitely surprise you! as for the new movies... don't waste your time on them. staring at the wall is a more enjoyable activity!
I saw this in the little theater across the street from my house was a small open mall with s grocery store and it was in that complex. It was opening day and packed. We bought the tickets and went in. There were no seats so we got the manager and they made an announcement that if you had seen it already you were obligated to leave. It was GREAT
The trivia behind this movie is amazing. You'd probably enjoy diving into it. They were in the middle of shooting when they found out the name Ghostbusters was already taken. They ended up using it anyway. I think they purchased the rights lol.
First of all - You look fantastic, but do you know who also does? ... Sigourney Weaver looks absolutely fantastic with her talent.. her natural hair and face always brightens my day 😍 🏳🌈
"Aren't the elevators working?" Don't you remember your disaster training, Shree? You're not supposed to use the elevators in case of fire, earthquake, or demonic possession.😁 I saw this movie when it first came out, I was 12 years old. I loved it then, and it holds up surprisingly well, mainly due to a good script and the excellent chemistry between the cast. Dan Aykroyd (Dr. Ray Stantz, and a co-scriptwriter) is a major believer in paranormal phenomena. He added in a lot of references to "real-life" hauntings and ghost phenomena. For example, ectoplasm (or "ghost cum" as you called it 👻) was actually reported in a lot of 19th and early 20th century ghost sightings. It has since become much rarer, remarkably enough at exactly the same time as forensic chemistry developed so that we can analyze mysterious substances and figure out their exact chemical composition. (Can you tell that I'm skeptical of ghosts?) Glad you enjoyed the movie, and thanks for your review (though now I can't see ectoplasm without thinking of horny ghosts)
Venkman is making the transition from dirty young man to dirty old man. An experiment whether negative reinforcement enhances abilities could be valid, but Venkman is doing this to torture one student to flirt with another. Menstruation can change mood but not cognition. But, you know, women, all that complicated plumbing. It's not like they're real people. I interpret Egon under Janine's desk is the opposite of suggestive. Egon doesn't seem interested anything female; he really is just innocently connecting the computer, looks suspicious, but then you realize it's just Egon. The trap is emptied into the grid in the firehouse. That seems to be an indefinite confinement. Perhaps the ghosts eventually evaporate into the quantum foam from the storage facility. Peck is libertarian's nightmare of the interfering government bureaucrat. As a political comment, it's poorly done. But as a stooge, Peck is someone the audience can enjoy being hurt. The actor plays the villain in _Real Genius_. Behold the evil of dogs and cats living together. th-cam.com/video/MBp3Jwd8Suw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for reaction to one of my favorite movie of all time! For me it's almost perfect) The only thing that makes me sad - they had to cut off the scenes where Ernie Hudson (Winston) and Dan Aykroyd (Ray) were hunting a ghost in old mansion. The scene with horny ghost at 21:15 is all what left. By the way, in my childhood "don't cross the streams!" was a common joke when the guys were peeing together😁
Also awso e fact the fire station is a real one and the fire fithers even give tours of their Gjsotbuster collection it is awsome you can even get a suvinear license plate of Ecto-One.
Mold does take over like an alien, in alien. And why sigourney chose to kill that alien is beyond me. It was resting, then humans started messing with it. How would you feel if someone just began blasting at you for trying to take over a planet they decided was theirs.
10:00 "I wonder how many clients they're gonna get. But it seems there _is_ a ghost problem in this city. There was the librarian. There's probably a TV-watching ghost, here." 🤔A paranormal couch potato. That's an interesting idea.
5:42 Now, that's just not fair. I mean, just pulling all these cards out of the catalog and scattering them on the floor meant someone would have to go through the task of sorting through them and putting them back in the right _order,_ but now they're ruined. They're gonna have to be reprinted, the insides of these drawers are gonna have to be hygienically wiped, _and_ they're gonna have to be put in the right order. Such a nuisance.
7:13 It's a little-known fact about librarians. If you start out making too much noise, they're content to shush you, but if you refuse to heed the "shush," something like _this_ happens, so 🤫
Pre-watch prediction! Shree is not going to be happy with Bill Murray's character. Loved it as a child, rewatched this recently and that character has not aged well. It went past cringe and into distressing.
Also if oyu are a gamer and want a part 3 with the orignal Cast you should paly Ghost Busters the video game it even expanda on the lore of the Liberian and ither locations.
I'd love to tell you that the sequels get better but honestly, ALL of them end up as pale imitations of this original movie, even Ghostbusters 2, which at least tried to stand on its own somewhat. Everything after Ghostbusters 2 was either a retelling or shameless rehashing of the first movie, including the recent movies (especially Afterlife). But in those movies, defense, this original movie was and still is a tough act to follow. This was lightening in a bottle. Incidentally, Ivan Reitman would go on to direct a sort of spiritual successor to the first Ghostbusters that released in 2001 called Evolution, which felt more like a Ghostbusters sequel than the actual sequels and remake, despite it being aliens instead of ghosts. I rewatched it recently, and it gave that Ghostbusters feel that's been missing from the other movies, you know, being funny. I don't want to turn this into a pure rant about the sequels failing to live up to the original, I still LOVE Ghostbusters 2, and you should definitely watch it. So I'll describe my first time seeing this as a kid. I was 4 years old and saw it on cable when the second movie was in theaters and there had been years of Ghostbusters stuff out into he public like toys, video games and a then cartoon that had been running for a few years already. I saw all of that stuff before seeing the actual movie, so I was a little surprised how many "grown-up" jokes were in this, Lol. I believe the cast had experience working together on Saturday Night Live and other movies, which is why they worked so well in the movie. I remember seeing all four of the guys who played the Ghostbusters on a few SNL sketches back into he 80's whe this came out
Also when Dana and Louis get together I'm pretty sure they didn't use condoms. So question is do demon dogs produce sperm and get it get female demon dogs pregnant or when they finish off gozer is that considered an abortion cuz she didn't have a baby demon dog
The "slime" is not a result of ejaculation. It is Ectoplasm. Ectoplasm is a physical residue that has been reported on allegedly real hauntings. It has nothing to do with the ghost being horny. Just a little FYI.
Hey Shree do NOT watch the 2016 remake / reboot. It sucks and craps on the original 2. After u watch 2 then go right into ghostbusters afterlife then frozen empire.
Hi Shree , I really love your reaction to Ghostbusters. I hope you watch the second movie soon. Do love the theme song. Plus my birthday just passed and I just got lego ghostbuster song !!. I love the actors Of the Ghostbusters And Segourney Weaver First she did aliens 1 and then she did Ghostbusters 1 and then she did aliens too and then Ghostbusters too.

I always wonder if people watching this movie now know what those were. In a really big library, you'd have a whole section of drawers like that on every floor, and searching through them was the only way you could find anything before libraries were able to start using computer databases.
Thanks for letting me know about the cards ☺️
@@ShreeNation I'm starting to get more flashbacks how those card systems worked. The books were sorted on shelves with the Dewey decimal system. You would go to the cards and look up the author, title or subject of your book (a different section of drawers for each). You would then write down the Dewey decimal number of the each book. Libraries would often provide little pencils and sheets of paper for doing just that.
When doing a study or report, I'd wind up with a sheet full of Dewey decimal numbers. And unlike the current database systems, this didn't tell you if the books were already checked out or not. If you needed many books for a report, you might come up empty and have to go back and look up more cards.
This was the case through the 80s and 90s until libraries started getting computers.
I seem to remember that microfiche files were a thing back then too. To look up old newspaper articles at the library, you'd check out microfiche files and look at them through a viewer at a microfiche station.
Damn, I hate the fact that I missed the premier. Hell with it, I'ma just timestamp you to oblivion. :D
3:03 Notice how every time he shocks this guy, he gets more accurate in his guesses. He might actually have latent psychic abilities and Peter's theory is actually correct. 😆
5:15 There are some theories in paranormal studies that relate to the correlation of mental states/hormones like puberty and psychic/spiritual phenomena. So besides just being a joke, his question isn't entirely uncalled for. The fact that he's the one asking, though, since he clearly thinks of his profession as a joke just makes his demeanor amusing.
9:23 Rick Moranis! Staple of 80s kids' childhoods!
15:08 We all love Annie Potts/Janine.
16:33 The proton packs (nuclear accelerators) concentrate positively charged particles into a narrow beam through the neutrona wand/particle thrower that directly counteracts the negative energy produced by ghosts. Believe it or not, there's some actual science behind their equipment, though of course the functionality is pure science-fiction/fantasy/paranormal-based.
20:27 Egon signalling the prices to Peter. lol
21:29 Based on a story one of Dan Aykroyd's friends/family told him supposedly happened for real. In the original script it did happen for real, while they were staying in a haunted house on a case.
21:40 Earnie Hudson! Winston always was my favorite Ghostbuster, right next to Egon.
22:10 That's 6,000 BC. That's at least 7,984 years old.
24:17 Funny you should mention that...
40:03 Notice the location of the stairs. Right behind where Dana's fridge was.
42:25 When Gozer moves between worlds, it has to take a new form. That form was the one previously used in the dimension it just came from, so it de-materialized.
45:56 Basically, crossing the streams caused enough of an energy back-draft that it forced Gozer's dimensional door shut.
47:54 In a deleted scene, it's shown they actually do remember that...they just agree to agree that it didn't happen. But I'm sure Rick Moranis didn't mind getting dipped by Sygourney Weaver one bit. lol
This whole soundtrack is awesome. Ghostbusters 2 and Afterlife are really damn good. Though neither lives up to the original, but that doesn't mean they're bad by any means. I heard some iffy stuff about Frozen Empire so didn't see that one. As for the 2016 remake...the less said about it the better. Just avoid that. It's not worth the 2 hours of your life.
The animated series from the 80s is a lot of fun, though! :)
Timestamp away, i always love reading them ☺️ And thank you for the info!
One Police Plaza is right behind 1 center Street, in Mahattan. This is directly next to the manhattan start of the famed Brooklyn bridge. City hall is opposite and down he street from 1 center st. All within 3 blocks of where a certain defendant was found guilty of 34 counts related to an affair. When this movie was made the city cordoned off most of that area for filming that outside scene of the vehicle driving out with police protection. It was on Sundays, they did filming to minimize traffic.
Ghostbusters 2 was a pretty good sequel and has some fun moments. I'd definitely recommend it. Ghostbusters 2016 was a woke mess that seemed to be made just to troll fans of the original movies. We try to forget it exists. Ghostbusters Afterlife is another sequel of the original movies picking up 3 decades later. It's worth seeing.
2016 exists in a parallel world.
Janine is played by Annie Potts. I had such a crush on her in High School
The car is a 1959 Cadillac Miller Meteor combination car. It could be used as an ambulance or a hearse. That one that Ray found was in the ambulance configuration.
Thanks for letting me know :)
This is in my top 5. It has the best line in any movie ever. When you get to the dickless line, you'll know. Top 5. Predator,aliens, Ghostbusters, young guns, (not even a fan of westerns) prob back to the future
"Ghostbusters is one of the most lovable movies ever made, and 90 percent of that is Bill Murray's fault. If you actually look at the character of Pete Venkman, he's a borderline sex offender who uses electrical torture as a punchline. He tells presumably-dicked representatives of the Environmental Protection Agency that they have no dicks. He mocks the spirits of the dead in a world where he knows they can hear him. If Bill Murray wasn't a comic genius we'd probably be asking why someone made a movie out of some script they found on death row." --Seanbaby
😆😆
You should react to "The Count of Monte Cristo." It is a movie based on a 18th century French novel. The story still holds up after nearly 200 years.
Will do!
The most successful film of 1984 along with Beverly Hills Cop.
Such a fun movie.
80's good natured entertainement at its best ❤
11:07 "What in the _Scooby-do_ mystery machine? What is this _car?_
It's that most ironic of vehicle choices; a hearse. These were originally designed to transport coffins.
21:00 "So... whatever the f*ck was in her, uh, kitchen, in her fridge is not _bothering_ her, anymore?"
That's a really good point. I mean, when she first saw it, that should've shown her it was time to move out. And when she came back with Dr. Venkman and _he_ didn't find any supernatural presences, she ought to have seen that as an indication that it was safe to gather a few _things_ before she moved out and reported it to the landlord as she turned in her keys.
Shree, I think you might like the animated Ghostbusters series that ran from 1986 to 1991. It was animated by DiC studios (who did a lot of big stuff in the 1980's, such as Inspector Gadget, Heathcliff, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, etc). It was mostly based on the films, though the characters were changed, and the green blob is now part of the team, as a sort of mascot (though in later years, they gave him the Steve Urkel treatment, as in giving him the spotlight more than the Ghostbusters themselves). You'll notice the animated series is called "The Real Ghostbusters", since when the first movie was being made, Filmation did make their own "Ghostbusters" series in the mid 1970's (it was a sorta comedy series) and sued the studio making the movie.
In 1986, DiC made "The Real Ghostbusters" and Filmation made "Ghostbusters" the same year, the latter series being a sequel to the 1970's series, but the main characters' (not retired) sons take over the business. Both series are fine, just keep in mind each series is a TOTALLY different thing. The Filmation series was more like a He-Man type show, but with ghost hunters, rather than barbarian warriors. The "Real Ghost Busters" really did some scary stuff......zombies, Lovecraft-esque stuff, vampires, and so on. The characters themselves were changed a bit: Peter now looks like a GQ model (with Garfield's voice), Egon took Ruby Rod's hair style, Ray now looks like someone's dad, and Winston lost the mustache.
Here is an episode of "The Real Ghost Busters" th-cam.com/video/bpuci75L-to/w-d-xo.html I think the entire series, or at last good chunks of it, are on TH-cam. Would be real cool if you can react to this episode, at least.
Thank you, will check it out! 😇🙏
it had both movies and a cartoon series. some alternate time lines
"Ghostbusters Inc is going to be a booming business."
That's the logical expectation, and the old pen and paper role playing game let you play as a Ghostbusters franchise in your hometown. It was a pretty cool game.
Yes! This was another favorite from my childhood. Another movie my parents took me and my sister to see when we were kids. I can still remember the movie theater and the popcorn. We were so excited! When this movie came out it was such a huge pop culture phenomenon--there were toys, books, posters, records, music videos. It was just another movie everyone just had to rush to the movies to see in that great summer of '84! And, boy, there were so many great films to see that year: Ghostbusters, Karate Kid, Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom, Gremlins, The Last Starfighter, Star Trek 3--The Search For Spock. Honestly, me and my sister weren't scared because we knew it was supposed to be a funny movie. I mean, think about it, when you see a movie trailer with a giant walking marshmallow, you know it's not something to be taken seriously.
What makes this movie work for me is: 1. It's a great parody of the scary films that came out around that time, there hadn't been many other shows that made fun of ghosts... suddenly, for kids our age, we didn't have to be afraid of the "monster under the bed" anymore; 2. I love how Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis would say all the techno babble and then Bill Murray just pops everyone's bubble with a sarcastic line.
This is classic stuff and I'm so glad you reacted to it!
Thanks for watching and for sharing your theater experience ☺️🙏
Love Ghostbusters! I saw it the theaters when it first came out seen the other three in the theaters too thinking about getting the Ghostbusters logo as a tattoo
My favorite reactor watching one of my favorite movies, yes please. Hope you enjoy it
Thank you so much, I hope you enjoy the video 💖🙏
The Real Ghostbusters was one of the better cartoons in the mid to late 80s. Slimer became a sort of mascot and even had his own show for a time.
William Atherton (The EPA guy) didn't know he was going to get that much shaving foam dumped on him when the character gets covered in marshmallow. His reaction is genuine. Also, sadly for Atherton, who is reported to be a genuinely nice guy, he was hounded by random people for decades yelling "Hey dickless" at him. He actually got really angry with Director Ivan Reitman over it.
Aww poor guy, some people need to have more common sense and not associate an actor with a fictional character 🙄
👻 Whenever anybody enjoys this film, I always advise them to also check out Tim Burton's "Mars Attacks!" (1996). It's another goofy sci-fi horror comedy with similar vibes and an extremely stacked cast. 😎👍
Will definitely react to it 😍
So, I've finally convinced You to watch "Ghostbusters" huh?!? (LOL) Hey Shree👋I'd Promised You a Timeless, Comedy
Classic😂and I Hope this one lived up to All of My Hype!🙏Let's All have FUN and share some Laughs here today...👍
Facts: Dan Aykroyd's Original Idea for this Movie was actually more Sci-Fi🤔it would have been set on a Space Station,
and the Ghosts would have been Aliens! Co-Star Harold Ramis & Director Ivan Reitman (RIP to both) helped Aykroyd to
modernize His Script: setting them ON Earth😇and in New York City! However, Reitman liked the Designs for the Alien
Ghosts👻so much that He decided to keep them / use them anyway, to give His Movie an even more Unique look!👌
Indeed you did! The space station idea actually sounds dope, I hope they execute it one day 😍 See you at the premiere!
@@ShreeNation I can't wait😅and I've got even more BTS for You on this one!👍
31:11 "That's a lot of... science fiction gobbledygook that's flying over all of our heads."
Naw. Egon got it.
46:58 apparently Murray didn’t want any of the marshmallow effect (shaving cream) on him at all.
Hilariously, Ackeroyd couldn’t get enough of it!
I read Bill was allergic to the shaving cream.
@@Madbandit77 Oooohhh, okay.
The scene where the small book shelf fell wasn't planned. Their reactions were real.
Wow 😳
🔔 SHREE ➡ So after they spent time, effort & $$$ making this movie, they forgot one teeny-tiny detail: They forgot to register the name! Oopsie! So when they made a Saturday morning cartoon show, they had to call it 'The Real Ghostbusters' because some company already had made a (POS) cartoon called 'Ghostbusters' before them!
And way before that one, in the '70s, was a live action TV series of the same name starring Forrest Tucker (Kong), Larry Storch (Spencer) and a man (Robert Burns) in a gorilla suit (Tracy).
Oops!
"Spores, molds, and fungus" was a joke about how scientists were so lame that they only had fun collecting spores, molds, and fungus.
Ah I see
glad to note that your predictions about the future of ghostbusters are completely wrong! the second movie will definitely surprise you! as for the new movies... don't waste your time on them. staring at the wall is a more enjoyable activity!
In a situation like that I would have though of Clifford the big red dog & then there would be a literal giant red dog running around the city.
Fun fact: Lewis was supposed to be played by John Candy, but he didn’t understand the role. So it went to Rick Moranis
I saw this in the little theater across the street from my house was a small open mall with s grocery store and it was in that complex. It was opening day and packed. We bought the tickets and went in. There were no seats so we got the manager and they made an announcement that if you had seen it already you were obligated to leave. It was GREAT
Thanks for sharing :)
The trivia behind this movie is amazing. You'd probably enjoy diving into it. They were in the middle of shooting when they found out the name Ghostbusters was already taken. They ended up using it anyway. I think they purchased the rights lol.
Awesome 😎
First of all - You look fantastic, but do you know who also does? ...
Sigourney Weaver looks absolutely fantastic with her talent.. her natural hair and face always brightens my day 😍 🏳🌈
Indeed she does! She is beauty, brains and brawns 🥰💖
I have always wondered how one of the demons, Vince Clortho, could have a human name.
Also, the Tunguska blast was June 30, 1908.
Interesting point 😅
"Aren't the elevators working?"
Don't you remember your disaster training, Shree? You're not supposed to use the elevators in case of fire, earthquake, or demonic possession.😁
I saw this movie when it first came out, I was 12 years old. I loved it then, and it holds up surprisingly well, mainly due to a good script and the excellent chemistry between the cast.
Dan Aykroyd (Dr. Ray Stantz, and a co-scriptwriter) is a major believer in paranormal phenomena. He added in a lot of references to "real-life" hauntings and ghost phenomena. For example, ectoplasm (or "ghost cum" as you called it 👻) was actually reported in a lot of 19th and early 20th century ghost sightings. It has since become much rarer, remarkably enough at exactly the same time as forensic chemistry developed so that we can analyze mysterious substances and figure out their exact chemical composition. (Can you tell that I'm skeptical of ghosts?) Glad you enjoyed the movie, and thanks for your review (though now I can't see ectoplasm without thinking of horny ghosts)
Hahaha, thanks for watching 😁 And you're right I'll definitely take the stairs next time I'm possessed by demon goblins 💀💀
The Ecto-1 was originally an ambulance.
There is an animated series called The Real Ghostbusters, which us as kids enjoyed watching back in the day.
Venkman is making the transition from dirty young man to dirty old man.
An experiment whether negative reinforcement enhances abilities could be valid, but Venkman is doing this to torture one student to flirt with another.
Menstruation can change mood but not cognition. But, you know, women, all that complicated plumbing. It's not like they're real people.
I interpret Egon under Janine's desk is the opposite of suggestive. Egon doesn't seem interested anything female; he really is just innocently connecting the computer, looks suspicious, but then you realize it's just Egon.
The trap is emptied into the grid in the firehouse. That seems to be an indefinite confinement. Perhaps the ghosts eventually evaporate into the quantum foam from the storage facility.
Peck is libertarian's nightmare of the interfering government bureaucrat. As a political comment, it's poorly done. But as a stooge, Peck is someone the audience can enjoy being hurt. The actor plays the villain in _Real Genius_.
Behold the evil of dogs and cats living together. th-cam.com/video/MBp3Jwd8Suw/w-d-xo.html
I would like to live in a hell full of dogs and cats any day 🥰🤭
Thank you for reaction to one of my favorite movie of all time! For me it's almost perfect)
The only thing that makes me sad - they had to cut off the scenes where Ernie Hudson (Winston) and Dan Aykroyd (Ray) were hunting a ghost in old mansion. The scene with horny ghost at 21:15 is all what left.
By the way, in my childhood "don't cross the streams!" was a common joke when the guys were peeing together😁
Haha, my pleasure! Thanks for watching 🙏😇
Ghostbusters Afterlife is even better 😊
Can't wait!
"There is no environmental protection act for that [melted marshmallow]"😀
"You need to hold a key or something..."
Apt for the keymaster. :) Great reaction!
Haha thank you!!😃🙏
Also awso e fact the fire station is a real one and the fire fithers even give tours of their Gjsotbuster collection it is awsome you can even get a suvinear license plate of Ecto-One.
Awsome typo sorry.
Mold does take over like an alien, in alien. And why sigourney chose to kill that alien is beyond me. It was resting, then humans started messing with it. How would you feel if someone just began blasting at you for trying to take over a planet they decided was theirs.
@18:48 ... Aaaaaand how would we know? 🤪
Slimmer is in the real Ghostbusters animated series
There was an animated series called the Real Ghostbusters.
Great reaction video, Shree! I'm glad you loved Ghostbusters- it's one of my all time faves! The humor in it never gets old.
Thanks for watching 🙏😇
10:00 "I wonder how many clients they're gonna get. But it seems there _is_ a ghost problem in this city. There was the librarian. There's probably a TV-watching ghost, here."
🤔A paranormal couch potato. That's an interesting idea.
I'd definitely be one!
I was a big fan of the Real Ghostbusters cartoon.
1:30 😒Great. A ghost that deliberately misplaces books. Librarians are gonna _love_ this one.
1:53 Oh, yeah. Gonna _love_ this one.
5:23 Oh, yeah. Gonna _love_ this one. Someone's gonna have to put these back in their proper places.
5:42 Now, that's just not fair. I mean, just pulling all these cards out of the catalog and scattering them on the floor meant someone would have to go through the task of sorting through them and putting them back in the right _order,_ but now they're ruined. They're gonna have to be reprinted, the insides of these drawers are gonna have to be hygienically wiped, _and_ they're gonna have to be put in the right order. Such a nuisance.
6:34 I mean, she kind of looks like the spirit of an ancient librarian. I would expect her to show a little more _respect,_ here. 🤷♂
7:13 It's a little-known fact about librarians. If you start out making too much noise, they're content to shush you, but if you refuse to heed the "shush," something like _this_ happens, so 🤫
This movie is lightning in a bottle the 80s are eternal
rocky would have loved those eggs lol
Pre-watch prediction!
Shree is not going to be happy with Bill Murray's character. Loved it as a child, rewatched this recently and that character has not aged well. It went past cringe and into distressing.
@@gallendugall8913 I was more distracted by how cute Dan Aykroyd is in this movie 😍
Also if oyu are a gamer and want a part 3 with the orignal Cast you should paly Ghost Busters the video game it even expanda on the lore of the Liberian and ither locations.
Will check it out 😍
@@ShreeNation goo I am sure you won't be disappointed. Ps meant you not ouy lol.
I'd love to tell you that the sequels get better but honestly, ALL of them end up as pale imitations of this original movie, even Ghostbusters 2, which at least tried to stand on its own somewhat. Everything after Ghostbusters 2 was either a retelling or shameless rehashing of the first movie, including the recent movies (especially Afterlife). But in those movies, defense, this original movie was and still is a tough act to follow. This was lightening in a bottle.
Incidentally, Ivan Reitman would go on to direct a sort of spiritual successor to the first Ghostbusters that released in 2001 called Evolution, which felt more like a Ghostbusters sequel than the actual sequels and remake, despite it being aliens instead of ghosts. I rewatched it recently, and it gave that Ghostbusters feel that's been missing from the other movies, you know, being funny. I don't want to turn this into a pure rant about the sequels failing to live up to the original, I still LOVE Ghostbusters 2, and you should definitely watch it. So I'll describe my first time seeing this as a kid. I was 4 years old and saw it on cable when the second movie was in theaters and there had been years of Ghostbusters stuff out into he public like toys, video games and a then cartoon that had been running for a few years already. I saw all of that stuff before seeing the actual movie, so I was a little surprised how many "grown-up" jokes were in this, Lol. I believe the cast had experience working together on Saturday Night Live and other movies, which is why they worked so well in the movie. I remember seeing all four of the guys who played the Ghostbusters on a few SNL sketches back into he 80's whe this came out
Thank you, will definitely check out Evolution 😍
Also when Dana and Louis get together I'm pretty sure they didn't use condoms. So question is do demon dogs produce sperm and get it get female demon dogs pregnant or when they finish off gozer is that considered an abortion cuz she didn't have a baby demon dog
The "slime" is not a result of ejaculation. It is Ectoplasm. Ectoplasm is a physical residue that has been reported on allegedly real hauntings. It has nothing to do with the ghost being horny. Just a little FYI.
Watch 2 and Afterlife it is a good send off to the original cast. The most recent movie is good but not great.
Being slightly on the scale, the most horrible part of movie are those library cards. Theyre not letters.
And it would take FOREVER to rearrange them!
No wonder the lady was freaked out 🤣
If I were running those hidden shape tests you'd definitely be safe. :)
I suggest Rushmore for more Bill Murray
@@mattx449 thank you :)
@@ShreeNation what are my chances if I’m not a green blob? 😂😂😂
The car is a kind of REALLY old ambulance. Just saying....
Hey Shree do NOT watch the 2016 remake / reboot. It sucks and craps on the original 2. After u watch 2 then go right into ghostbusters afterlife then frozen empire.
Hi Shree , I really love your reaction to Ghostbusters. I hope you watch the second movie soon.
Do love the theme song.
Plus my birthday just passed and I just got lego ghostbuster song !!.
I love the actors Of the Ghostbusters And Segourney Weaver First she did aliens 1 and then she did Ghostbusters 1 and then she did aliens too and then Ghostbusters too.
