I was a kid when I first saw this at the drive-in, and I laughed so hard! I mean, King Kong, Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan... and now the _StayPuff Marshmallow Man???_ I loved this movie!
I feel you bro.. for me it happened like this. I knew and i was a fan of the cartoon real Ghostbusters when i was around 10 because i was watching it during the weekend cartoons among Transformers, Gi Joe etc WITHOUT knowing there was a movie Ghostbusters!!! And around Christmass 1991, i suddenly saw the tv trailer of the movie Ghostbusters that was about to be aired in tv and i went like..wtf ?? They made a movie out of the cartoon?? Shit i have to see it !!! And then i saw the movie (i recorded it on VHS also) and i had the same epic blast as you!! Somewhere down the road i realised that the movie preceeded the cartoon!! Innocent ages without internet
I love the part where Walter Peck gets covered in molten marshmallow as karma for his actions towards the Ghostbusters. Too bad that part has been left out in this skit.
The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man suits cost approximately $20,000 each. Three were made, and all were destroyed during filming. The rooftop set for the final confrontation between Gozer and the Ghostbusters occupied an entire soundstage and required 50,000 amps of electricity to be properly lit. Columbia Pictures had to shut down other stages while this scene was being filmed. Gozer was also a name related to a documented haunting in England. The name Gozer appeared mysteriously throughout the Enfield Poltergeist house, written on walls and other things. The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man was originally supposed to come up out of the water right next to the Statue of Liberty, but the scene was too hard to shoot. Dan Aykroyd described Mr. Stay Puft as a cross between the Michelin Man and the Pillsbury Doughboy. He wanted to create a fictional brand mascot that everyone would have grown up with. The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man scene is in the final film exactly as it was written in Dan Aykroyd's original treatment. Ivan Reitman was frightened at the step audiences had to take in how believable the creature was. This was his biggest concern at that first screening at Columbia Studios. At that time, they only had one shot of the Marshmallow Man, the one between the building of the monster's head. It was enough to make the audience go crazy with laughter. While filming the final scene, the ending wasn't completely worked out. Reitman recollects the "crossing the streams" idea had come up elsewhere in the screenplay before this but using that to kill the Marshmallow Man came through working out the scene on set. "So, let's talk about this marshmallow," says Reitman before explaining it was shaving cream. Huge laundry bags full of it were dropped on the people on set. Before the big drop on William Atherton, the actor asked Reitman if it was going to hurt. Reitman simply said he didn't know. Menthol shaving cream was used resulting in at least one case of someone having an allergic reaction to it. Reitman states that people had more of a problem with the limited amount of marshmallows on Bill Murray than they had with the fact that the Ghostbusters survived or the Marshmallow Man in the first place. Of course, the idea of Venkman being covered much less than the other Ghostbusters was Murray's idea. On the opposite end, Dan Aykroyd loved the shaving cream and kept asking for more to be applied to him. The phrase "This chick is toast" was first coined by Bill Murray in this movie. Another popular Murray line, which would also appear in other films, was "Nice shootin', Tex!" The producers were prepared to produce a different ending if test audiences didn't react positively to the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. When the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man attacks, a stunned Ray recalls roasting Stay-Puft marshmallows "by the fire at Camp Wokanda". "Wokanda" (or "Waucanda") is an old Native American name that translates to "Spirit Water." Camp Wokanda was a real-life Boy Scout camp near Peoria, IL, recently acquired by the Peoria Park District. Another real-life Camp Wakonda exists near Sault St. Marie Ontario, on Lake McCarrell. Dan Aykroyd grew up in Ottawa. Paddi Edwards dubbed over Gozer's lines because Slavitza Jovan's accent came across as comedic. A 2002 addition to the Oxford English Dictionary credits Bill Murray's ad-lib, "This chick is toast!" as the origin of "toast" in the sense of "A person or thing that is defunct, dead, finished, in serious trouble, etc." In the dubbed French version, Venkman mentions Joseph Stalin as the potential embodiment of evil, not J. Edgar Hoover. In the Italian version, it's Adolf Hitler, although he's called "Adolfo Hitler." In the Spanish dub, it's Mao Zedong. Slavitza Jovan who plays Gozer was always harnessed during the climactic scenes enabling her to flip around on set at will. Sigourney Weaver suggested that she dress up as Zuul the Terror Dog, but the idea was rejected. Punk rocker Anne Carlisle was originally offered the role of Gozer but turned it down. The red contacts that Slavitza Jovan had to wear were extremely uncomfortable.
Parts of the suits survived and went up for auction. Also the giant Staypuft hat that falls on the crowd was also auctioned off. The first suit performer nearly suffocated to death after he had an allergic reaction to the asbestos in the suit. The prop team had lined the suit FULL of it for the fire scene. He survived but IIRC had to be taken to the hospital.
@classiccasualgaming Yes, he did look like he was crying when he was being blasted. Also, while this is just a movie, I like to think in real life there is no such thing as a crybaby and Fred Rogers says on his show "Mister Rogers Neighborhood" that you are never too old to cry out of sadness and crying is not just for babies just because it's a babies communication and if someone calls someone else a crybaby, they're bullying them.
@@mung01re I would definitely think that especially since Stay Puft is marshmallow, and fire (the hot proton packs) would be an enemy to marshmallow which Stay Puft is. I'm sure there are a lot of ghosts who have made an agony face like Stay Puft here but, we just don't see their faces since they're quickly being zapped and trapped.
As a kid I remember crying because I felt so sad for Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man when they started hurting him. I couldn't even watch this movie again for years. I *_LOVED_* Stay-Puft and still do. Poor guy 😔
William Atherton has said, that it took him close to a decade to live down his image in the movie. When the movie came out and even for years afterward people would point at him at shout "Hey look everybody, it's DICKLESS!"@@davidchism6081
Walter Peck, and I also would've loved to see that. It would serve him right as karma for shutting their containment system down and letting all those ghosts loose.
Fun fact; Due to Stay Puft going out of business after the filming of this movie, the Marshmallow Man had lost his job being company mascot having to seek new employment. Shortly after, he was putting in a few applications and using this movie for being a big credibility on his resume. He finally found a job being a mascot for a tire company and ended up being the Michelin Man.
In afterlife when gozer asks Ray ‘are you a God?’ Peter and Winston are like oh come On RAY YoU’Ve BeEn asKed ThIs BeFoRe!! And he says yes😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 LOL
@@chuckscott-cy7iq Ray, Venkman, and Egon are all scientists and parapsychologists. Winston is the blue collar everyman of the group. With absolutely no disrespect meant to him, he doesn't have the same expertise in the fields related to that moment. They're facing an interdimensional gateway and demigod from another dimension. That's more on their level (especially Egon's.) But even they are stumped at the moment.
Gozer might be evil, but it's not a dick. It understood that the concept was being explained to the others and allowed them to be fully informed so they could choose an appropriate form for the Destructor.
@@Draknfyre choosing the form is what the Ghostbusters wanted to avoid. But Gozer wanted them to do so. Presumably because Gozer thought it would be entertaining. But as I say, when everyone else didn't understand the request to choose, Gozer allowed the example of J Edgar Hoover without deciding to take it as the choice, so the others could understand what they were choosing.
@@MazonDel Yeah, trust me I'm familiar with the movie and the franchise. Gozer wasn't being considerate (in fact if Peter had used the worst example he could think of, THAT would've been the best form from its POV) it was simply a line meant for humor and thus had no ramifications to the immediate situation.
6:21 - Случайно ли получилось так, что этот морячок похож на мальчика-пионера из СССР? Ведь тогда получается, что больше всего Рэй боялся советского вторжения.
Take note of the fact that Gozer dodged the beams at first. It was drawing their attention away from the gate. Gozer recognized that they could send it back by blasting the gate. It’s easy to see that the beams couldn’t hurt Gozer, even in the form of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, it was barely affecting it.

Heres how: When they crossed the streams, they immediately run away, hiding behind stones and hiding in the original spot where they planned to cross the streams. So the flames could not reach them and burn them but they were defintely burning up and getting hot and thats when they got covered in marshmallow which i guess cooled them down a little bit
If someone asks you if you’re a god, YOU SAY YES!
All right this chick is TOAST!
And the next time he actually said YES. XD
Ray did say "Yes" in the GB Afterlife movie. It didn't work too 😢
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂❤
@classiccasualgaming yeah he did 😮
The expression on stay puft after the explosion gets me every time.
It is more funny in GD afterlife XD
😮
😮
No one saw that Cummings
Stay puft was like: IM BOUTTA CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I love the fact that Vencman said "go get her Ray" as karma for the library ghost.😂

😅😅😅😊😊
“We get this guy laid we won’t have any trouble…”
Bill Murray…😂
Back then, I thought he meant put Stay Puft down as in kill him
I love Winston's line "Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES"
"..I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought..."lol
One of the cleverest lines in all film comedy.
I was a kid when I first saw this at the drive-in, and I laughed so hard! I mean, King Kong, Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan... and now the _StayPuff Marshmallow Man???_ I loved this movie!
we need lot of drive-in movies.
"Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!!!" Years later, Ray would remember that lesson in Ghostbusters Afterlife.
2:40
*Ray will remember that
The special effects still hold up after 40 years
As a 5 year old boy in 1989... this was beyond epic

Every line from Murray's mouth is comedy gold in this scene.

THIS MOVIE IS SO NOSTALGIC
At 7:47, I felt bad for the Stay Puft man.
Then again, this is exactly why Ray thought of that as the form of the destroyer.

Grow up
I just remember finding it funny, a marshmallow monster. That's a master strategy right there.
@@No-dy3zk stay puff or stay puft?
Well when stay puft appeared didn't you hear sirens I love sirens
Murray yelling “Throw it!” Always gets me. So good. Also a nice call back to Ray saying the same at the hotel.
Aww, cut off right before the mean guy got glopped with molten marshmallow.
That actor almost always got wrecked in nearly every film he was in. Imagine having THAT job, lol. 😂

R u a God 😂

now i see where Michelin tires got their inspiration for Michelin Man. LOL
it's no wonder it always felt so familiar like I've seen it before.
But ofcourse you know the Michelin logo is more than a hundred years old, right? :)
The special effects in this monie never get oldz I think thry're even better than Ghostbusters 2.

Ghostbusters Afterlife: nah, who needs RULES?
Why marshmallow..why not Joe Edgar Hoover???😂
Ray might have already been thinking about it before, "it just popped in there!"

How the ghostbusters could have possibly survived the tremendous explosion of the building top ? It's a film.
Heres how:
When they crossed the streams, they immediately run away, hiding behind stones and hiding in the original spot where they planned to cross the streams.
So the flames could not reach them and burn them but they were defintely burning up and getting hot and thats when they got covered in marshmallow which i guess cooled them down a little bit
