Great reaction. What I always think separates this “Ghostbusters” film from the others is the perfect balance of comedy, horror, and sci-fi. When it’s creepy it’s full on creepy. They don’t undercut the horror with cheap jokes to lighten the mood. They have great dialogue like Winston’s “Dead rising from the grave speech”. Then when they have a comedy bit, it’s genuinely funny. They make sure to ground the film in the real world too. Outside of the Ghostbusters, the rest of the world is realistic. Which makes the threat feel real. Even something as silly as the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. But if you make the world seem just as unrealistic as the sci-fi, the stakes don’t feel real. A good science-fiction film makes you feel it could happen. By grounding it.
I agree. This was definitely the best one. The second one couldn't match its brilliance. The second was entertaining, but just didn't feel as perfect. Ghostbusters Afterlife, entertaining too, but a different sort of feel. Hard to even try to compare that one.
Fun fact: When the maid says, "What the hell are you doing?" She's actually saying that to the crew because she had no idea the explosions were going to be so big. Scare the crap out of her. LOL
The film was nominated for two Oscars (Visual Effects and Original Song) but won nothing. It did win a BAFTA for the song. It's a real shame, it deserved so much more.
Two firehouses were used in this movie. One of them was in downtown L.A. and the other was the Ladder 8 house in NY. the Ladder 8 house in NY has the Ghostbusters sign hanging in the apparatus bay. Back before Fire Departments and private ambulance companies many funeral homes ran their hearse as an ambulance. That is why the hearse had a red beacon on it.
I visited New York in the late '90s, and happened to be in that neighborhood. The people I was with walked me by there, and the door happened to be open. The sign was prominently displayed on the wall. I've heard that building has since been sold and converted into something else.
The car is actually an ambulance. My father worked with the man that owned it. Sure he's passed on by now. He was older than dad and he passed 11 years ago
@@andreadeamon6419 that's a great little detail that remains interesting while also having nothing to do with the mispronunciation of the word "hearse"!
8:00 Something interesting I recently learned about why they still use brown paper bags in movies and tv: apparently they are actually made of some type of fabric, because real paper/plastic bags make too much noise on set and interferes with how they record the dialogue.
Yes in english speaking countries the number 13 is bad luck but its different in many different countries. In Japan the number 4 is unlukcy because 4 is pronounced shi(she) but death is also pronounced shi.
There was indeed a couple of Ghostbuster video games, the most recent by all accounts quite good, though I can't speak on the matter personally. I forget which game console(s) it was made for, but i remember it was ones I didn't have.
The best piece of trivia I have (besides my dad being an extra in the crowd during the earthquake scene), is the parts for Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson were meant to go to John Belushi and Eddie Murphy.
Very minor, non-plot related, easter egg- in the other films, you can see differently colored tiles in the floor and ceiling of Ghostbusters HQ showing where the tiles were replaced after the containment field exploded. It's never commented on in the film itself.
Slimer was designed to look like John Belushi's character from Animal House. There was a cartoon called The Real Ghostbusters. Some of the ghosts in Frozen Empire might be from the cartoon.
Hey gorgeous! Shout out from a US Marine! 29:42 yes it definitely was a light show.... It's called special effects! 30:04 And have u ever heard of Asteroids or Nuclear Weapons? 🤣😂 Silly Rabbit, Nukes are for kids! Great reaction as always though! ❤🤍💙💛
Ghostbusters (2008) is a great game, considered by many to be the real third "movie," which tells the story of the plans and fate of Evo Shandor. There are Remastered versions for PC and console. The Wi version was really bad (because of limited graphics capabilities) but tuned up to really high settings on a good gaming PC, the game looks amazing (even for today, on the Remastered version) and really gives you the feeling that you're teaming up with the Ghostbusters, and finding out that busting really does make you feel good!
The odd thing about the movie is that I think Walter Peck was right to investigate. Spengler stated that turning off the laser grid be like droppning a bomb on the city and and you do see what happen if you cut the power, So what happen if New York have a blackout? If it is so insecure it need government oversight. lets quote Spengler again. "Like dropping a BOMB on the city." But Peck did go about it the wrong way.
@@popcornroulettereactions I was thinking that to at first but they never show or say it. But if you change it up to some other dangerous technology like if they had a nuclear reactor the government need to oversee it even if they had multipla safeguards in place. So Walter Peck did the right thing to look into there operations but he had a bruised ego from the first meeting with Dr. Venkman coming in like a EPA hotshot on a power trip and made it all personal.
When Venkman mentions the time Spengler tried to drill a hole in his head, Spengler's response ("That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me") was actually ad-libbed by Harold Ramis.
@@jkhoover If it's thrown-in during filming of a scene with no one else aware it's about to be said it's an ad-lib no matter who says it. Even co-writer Dan Aykroyd.
When Louis Tully mingles with his party guests (commenting on the price of the salmon, and so on), the scene is one continuous shot, and almost entirely improvised.
Couple things. 1. There IS a video game, and it is the last time Harold Ramis portrayed Egon before he passed in 2014. 2. The 2016 movie is a reboot and not in continuity with the rest of the movies. 3. As mentioned before, Harold Ramis, who played Egon and cowrote the first two movies, passed away before Afterlife was made. Some reactors didn't know that before watching Afterlife, and it affected their reaction.
So stoked you brought up the videogame before I did..I seem to recall an interview with Dan back then when he said, "..the game is the third movie." Jeez, gotta be more than 15yrs ago now. My GF at the time had a young son..he was enraptured as I showed him how to get through some of the boss fights. That's the magic of gaming. For a few hours..I *was* a Ghostbuster. Didn't mind that "Afterlife" was mostly fanservice (I'm a fan, and felt well served), and anticipate "Frozen Empire" with high hopes. "I'll believe anything if there's a steady paycheck in it." -Winston Zeddemore
The 2009 video game is one of the few games I have on multiple platforms, I have the original on my Xbox 360, and the “remastered” version on my Nintendo Switch. The only major difference between the two is the lack of product placement for a certain mass-market brand of nacho cheese and ranch tortilla chips…
Fun movie fact - The girl having a birthday party at the restaurant Louis was trying to get into to escape the terror dog, was a pop singer Debbie Gibson, in her very first movie role.
The blonde woman at Louis Tullys party was the wife of radio personality Casey Kasem (whose voice also appears in the movie). She came under scrutiny when he passed away, because it was suspected she was withholding medical treatment from him.
No way, she's Debbie Gibson?! I couldn't recognise her in that outfit. I still have some of her hit tracks like 'Shake Your Love' and 'Out Of The Blue', etc.
When this movie was filmed, paper bags were still more common than plastic bags, and yes, carrots had green stems. I still have some of my mom's Corning Ware with that same pattern.
Unfortunately, paper bags are now back in use as the primary bag in my state, as our legislature's top priority seems to be regulating what bags and containers can be used in stores.
I was about to comment that the dish must be CorningWare or CorelleWare. I dropped a Corelleware plate washing dishes once and it cracked a ceramic bowl cleanly in half when it landed.
The great Annie Potts! Nobody ever comments on her! Shes had a number of TV and movie roles, such as Designing Women, Bo Peep in Toy Story, Dangerous Minds, and others. This was her breakout role.
Great reaction to this 80s classic Amelia... In the movie 'Casper', Dan Aykroyd has a funny cameo as Ray Stanz the Ghostbuster and he says the line to the new home owners after seeing Casper & his brothers, "Who are you gonna call?...somebody else" and runs off, lol 😂
The sequence where Louis is trapped against the restaurant window and the patrons “can’t see him”, they can see him just fine, they just don’t care, this visual gag works on multiple levels; 1; New Yorkers have a reputation of being very self centered and generally jerks, since it wasn’t them that was in danger, they didn’t care 2; this was filmed at the famous ‘Tavern on the Green’ restaurant, which at the time was beloved by the New York ‘elites’ and ‘high rollers’, who were very ‘socially conscious’ in that they didn’t want to be seen associating with poor people, they didn’t care what was happening to Louis because it was happening to one of ‘The Poors’, they were being the stereotypical rich snobs It was an offhanded slap in the face to the rich jerks and snobs
"The Real Ghostbusters" cartoon series is a worthy continuation of the movie. By the time the second movie came out, younger kids raised in that time were more familiar with the cartoon than the movie.
The Ghostbusters cartoon actually helped shape the sequel movie, they made several changes to the characters to make them more similar to their cartoon counterparts they toned down some of the adult elements like that smoking and made Janine and Slimer look more like in the animated series.
@@drkblde No one should ever watch that horrible thing even under a threat of a slow and painful death. I felt my brain liquefying in the theater when I watched that pile of shit. And I have no idea how they made Chris participate in that torture but it was physically painful seeing him act out that terrible excuse of a "script".
You should get a box of Twinkies... You can do a Taste Test while reacting to "Zombieland" (There IS a correlation in the Movie). The Bookshelf wasn't supposed to fall over in the Library. And the guys just riffed off of it. People usually don't get the Irony that the "Key Master" kept getting locked out of his own apartment.
Naw if you are going to do a reaction powered by Twinkies the movie would have to be to Die Hard (1988). I think the only way Twinkies could get more screen time would be a documentary on the making of.
You have just witnessed my all time favorite movie. You need to watch Ghostbusters II and Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is coming to theaters in a couple of weeks.
There were quite a few Ghostbusters games, but the most important one was the one which featured the original cast as voice actors and is generally considered to be "Ghostbusters 3"
G2 is ok, not great. 2016 is a waste of film, Afterlife is wonderful. Frozen Empitre is a treasure. 2016 is the only one not made by a Reitman and has no soul.
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 😆🤣
According to the bible, particularly in the books of Thessalonians, no one knows when Christ will return. This is why the bible emphasizes on always staying faithful to God, for you don't know when Jesus will return. Anyone who says they know when the end times are, are either delusional, or flat out lying. Still one of the greatest movies ever made.
A small detail, that not everyone gets (i only noticed it, because a friend told me so): When Peter and the Hotel Manager discussed the prices, the three Ghostbusters at first didn't had any idea, what the payment should be. But when Egon raised his hand with the different numbers of fingers to his face, that was his way to tell Peter, what they needed for payment
The main reason very few people see it is because a whole generation saw the cropped TV 4:3 version on cable and vhs, until wide-screen viewing you couldn't see it.
I was 6 when this came out and I still never tire of watching it. I used to watch the 80s cartoon as well "The Real Ghostbusters". It's nice to see the franchise get new life with the 2 latest movies. Ghosts weren't the only thing big in the 80s. The whole horror genre was in full swing. You of course had the major franchises with Michael, Jason, Freddy, Chucky and all. But, there was so much more. Movies like "The Howling", "Silver Bullet", "Fright Night", the 1988 remake of "The Blob", the 1986 remake of "The Fly", Phantasm 1 and 2, and horror comedies like "Return of the Living Dead" and "Night of The Creeps" were all fantastic movies. The direct to video market was booming back then and smaller studios offered many titles at the local video rental stores that you wouldn't see in theaters. Studios like Empire Pictures, Roger Corman's New World Pictures, and Full Moon gave us great classics like 'Galaxy of Terror", The Puppet Master" franchise, "Trancers", "Dollman", "Scanners" and C.H.U.D. Most of these movies are free to watch on Tubi and other steaming services. The budgets are small, the acting isn't the best and the effects are a mix of good to terrible. But these movies have a certain charm to them. Many of them prove that you don't need a huge budget to make a movie that returns huge profits. Hopefully, we'll see a reaction or two to these screen gems. If anything, they are fun to watch.
Hi Amelia, you look lovely!😊 Well you've done it now. Now, that you've watched the first Ghostbusters film you have to watch the whole trilogy, along with the upcoming 4th film. The little green blob "Slimer" is rather famous in the Ghostbusters community. Rick Moranis is probably best known from the film "Honey I Shrunk the Kids", besides this film & the sequel. Great reactions to your very first Ghostbusters film, Amelia!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
This was followed by two direct sequels, two animated series, a reboot, videogames and an upcoming sequel. Eddie Murphy turned down a supporting role in this to star in Beverly Hills Cop, despite co starring with Dan Akroyd in Trading Places. Other comedies featuring the stars of this include Caddyshack and Stripes. Dan Akroyd currently hosts a HISTORY channel series called The UNBELIEVABLE
Eddie Murphy even expressed that he considers it one of his career regrets, not being able to do both movies. Of course, his prior commitment to _Beverly Hills Cop_ didn’t really do his career any harm either, being such an enormously successful movie as well. It seems to have been impossible for him to lose either way in 1984.
@@15blackshirtI think BHC2 isn't bad, as long as you're just looking for more BHC. Not better, and not really different, just more. I guess that's a large part of the disparity between it being another big hit at the box office, while being a big miss for most of the critics side of things, and certainly not having the same longevity. When you get to BHC3, though, it's all too obvious that it was unsuccessfully trying to keep reaching way too far beyond the prime of the first movie.
I saw this in the cinema with my cousin and our parents. We got to the scene with the fridge and Fido roaring “Zuul”, and my cousin ran out screaming. My uncle had to give chase.
To answer your question, there have been ALOT of GB games. But the better question is "good" Ghostbusters games. And I've played 2. 1 is a 1989 game on the Sega Genesis simply called Ghostbusters. However, in 2009(and remastered in 2019) was a game that Harold(Egon) and Dan(Ray) wrote. As they did with Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II. It was the last project Harold worked on before he died. The 09 game was considered the 3rd film. That is until Ghostbusters Afterlife came out 2 years ago
Make sure you watch the actual 3rd movie (Ghostbusters Afterlife) instead of the 2016 remake. After you are done you will be ready to hit the cinema to watch the upcoming 4th one Ghostbusters Frozen Empire, on March 22nd.
Yes, the 2016 reboot is worth skipping. However, Chris Hemsworth kills it playing the dumb blonde, only male. Kate McKinnon is great. The rest of the movie, meh. Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) is a thousand times better.
I'm curious, which movie are you referring to as #3?? There isn't a true Trilogy since they originally stopped at the sequel. It was many years later that they attempted the female swapped Reboot. Which I'm really hoping your not considering as #3, that movie was terrible. Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a true continuation from the first two movies. But it's more of a next generation than a Trilogy.
Another great 80s comedy with a great cast including Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, John Candy, John Larroquette, Warren Oates, P. J. Soles & Sean Young. Plus the movie was directed by Ivan Reitman (who also did Ghostbusters)...
The crazy sense of humor and the special effects are golden! The cast was incredible and everything worked like a charm. It will leave you with more than one set of sore ribs from laughing so hard!
My favorite film, My number 1. Saw it in 1988 I was 5, It scared me than, But started my love of horror, Acted at Haunted Houses from 98-2019. I hurt my spine, It got hard to chase drunk folks. But this movie started it.
Hey there, just stumbled upon your channel because of this reaction and I must say this is the perfect reaction to the film. Tension, fear, joy, laughs. Fantastic watch and reaction. This is my all time favorite movie. Subscribed and cheers.
There was no CGI in this movie. Ghostbusters II has some CGI. Huey Lewis and the News successfully sued over the Ghostbusters theme song. Their claim was that it was stealing from their song, "I Want a New Drug."
Ghost theorists claim there are two types of ghosts. Some do the same action, like crossing a room and going down stairs, over and over, unaware of observers, and these are attached to a place. Others are aware of living people and may attempt to interact. These are often attached to a person still living, but are not necessarily bad. Some are, and I met one as a kid. At least, everything implies it, but my mind has blocked any recollection of whatever it was. It damned sure wasn't Slimer.
Amelia! I always love seeing your reactions and this film is brilliant, so I'm glad you got to watch it. Yeah, Bill Murray does do a fantastic job in these kinds of roles. They are all on top form in this. Great reaction!
You know what I always notice? In movies and tv shows people always use chopsticks when they’re eating Chinese food. You almost never see that in real life
AND they eat the food directly out of the cartons! Honorary mention to those Holiday-sized family style meals that the busy working mom just happened to dish out on a typical Tuesday night 😂
The cards blowing out of the drawers was done pretty simply. It was a fake wall with people behind it pushing them out and blowing through copper tubing to blow them out. Picking up the cards after each take was not really fun unfortunately 🤣🤣
34:57 - As a matter of fact, there is! And it has a majority of the original cast for voices. Bill Murry kinda phoned it in, but everyone else is great. Only Sigourney Weaver opted not to reprise her role, so they got Alissa Milano to play the romantic interest. Dan Aykroyd has described the game as being "essentially the third movie." I know it's available on Steam and PlayStation. Just look for "Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered". If you play it, I hope you haver fun.
34:57 There are many Ghostbusters videogames, but the ones that are based on this movie were developed for old home computers and consoles (NES, Apple II, ZX Spectrum, C-64, Atari 2600, Sega Master System and so on) and they are just awful, specially the NES version.
13 is unlucky and omitted from building floors because on Friday, October 13, 1307, the last stronghold of the Knights Templar was destroyed and most the knights were burned at the stake.
I just noticed that this video's thumbnail is the box art for the 2009 Ghostbusters game, which originally was for the PS3 and XBOX 360 but got remastered for current gen consoles, and funnily enough, the game is set less than two years after Ghostbusters 2 and 30 years before Ghostbusters Afterlife. 12:14 I remember the hotel manager telling the Ghostbusters in the 2009 game: "This hotel does not have a 13th floor! None of the grand hotels do!"
Great reaction! Can't wait to see the reactions to Ghostbusters II and Ghostbusters: Afterlife, particularly Afterlife which was much better than I think most people expected it to be. Also check out the other big ghost film around this time which is, of course, Ghost (1990) with Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg.
Fun fact: The composer of the Ghost Buster title song was sued for Theft of music and had a huge judgment against him. Also the ditsy blond dancing with the host of the party when the monster came out of the closet in real life was the wife of Casey Kasems. In the big battle with the Stay Puff man Punk Rockers in the crowd were my cousins who had a business called rent a Punk! As an aside "soil liquefaction" is a real thing and it causes buildings, automobiles, and even people to sink in the ground during strong earthquakes! Yes the end of days is real too...
“What happens when you shut down the protection grid?” …it would be bad… And the whole “pencil neck” insult to me has become synonymous for morons that wear stupid suits and ties (or even just ties) in order to make themselves feel ‘more important’ than they actually are, kinda like Peck(er) I loathe ties, so I use the term a lot. ;)
For non blondes: I would merely imagine, if you were to implement a single stream of air, at the the correct intensity and velocity, you may achieve this effect with the library cards. I have, near, zero education in physics.

The only major difference between the two is the lack of product placement for a certain mass-market brand of nacho cheese and ranch tortilla chips…
Fun fact: Ghostbusters Video Game for Xbox 360/Ps3, is actually the 3rd movie. Afterlife is #4.
And of course there were other games in the C64 + NES era.
Fun movie fact - The girl having a birthday party at the restaurant Louis was trying to get into to escape the terror dog, was a pop singer Debbie Gibson, in her very first movie role.
WHAT!? I never knew that! I knew who Debbie Gibson was too. Now I need to watch that scene again.
The blonde woman at Louis Tullys party was the wife of radio personality Casey Kasem (whose voice also appears in the movie). She came under scrutiny when he passed away, because it was suspected she was withholding medical treatment from him.
No way, she's Debbie Gibson?! I couldn't recognise her in that outfit. I still have some of her hit tracks like 'Shake Your Love' and 'Out Of The Blue', etc.
You can't see her. You only see her ponytail
When this movie was filmed, paper bags were still more common than plastic bags, and yes, carrots had green stems. I still have some of my mom's Corning Ware with that same pattern.
Unfortunately, paper bags are now back in use as the primary bag in my state, as our legislature's top priority seems to be regulating what bags and containers can be used in stores.
I was about to comment that the dish must be CorningWare or CorelleWare. I dropped a Corelleware plate washing dishes once and it cracked a ceramic bowl cleanly in half when it landed.
Almost none of the scenes were filmed as scripted, most had at least one ad-lib. Most of Bill Murray's lines are ad-libs.
The Ghostbusters secretary plays in the tv show young Sheldon as the grandmother now,shows you how old this movie is
The great Annie Potts! Nobody ever comments on her! Shes had a number of TV and movie roles, such as Designing Women, Bo Peep in Toy Story, Dangerous Minds, and others.
This was her breakout role.
she was also in old TV show Designing Women
Great reaction to this 80s classic Amelia...
In the movie 'Casper', Dan Aykroyd has a funny cameo as Ray Stanz the Ghostbuster and he says the line to the new home owners after seeing Casper & his brothers, "Who are you gonna call?...somebody else" and runs off, lol 😂
His neutrona wand is also broken in that scene. So the Ghostly Trio almost certainly did something that damaged his equipment.
@@filthycasual8187 - they must have really scared the crap out of him for sure, lol 😆
The sequence where Louis is trapped against the restaurant window and the patrons “can’t see him”, they can see him just fine, they just don’t care, this visual gag works on multiple levels;
1; New Yorkers have a reputation of being very self centered and generally jerks, since it wasn’t them that was in danger, they didn’t care
2; this was filmed at the famous ‘Tavern on the Green’ restaurant, which at the time was beloved by the New York ‘elites’ and ‘high rollers’, who were very ‘socially conscious’ in that they didn’t want to be seen associating with poor people, they didn’t care what was happening to Louis because it was happening to one of ‘The Poors’, they were being the stereotypical rich snobs
It was an offhanded slap in the face to the rich jerks and snobs
Came here to say this
"The Real Ghostbusters" cartoon series is a worthy continuation of the movie. By the time the second movie came out, younger kids raised in that time were more familiar with the cartoon than the movie.
The Ghostbusters cartoon actually helped shape the sequel movie, they made several changes to the characters to make them more similar to their cartoon counterparts they toned down some of the adult elements like that smoking and made Janine and Slimer look more like in the animated series.
This was the highest-grossing comedy of all time until Home Alone (1990).
That’s so cool! Home Alone is a favorite for my mom and I (we’re big Christmas movie people) we watch it every year!
keep in mind the THRID movie is not he 2016 film, it is the 2021 film
2016 is still worth a watch it’s fun if anything just for Chris Hemsworth’s performance.
@@drkblde I found it meh, too much of the film script was "funny person says something funny here" and a lot of those things didn't land
*third
@@AddSeriousI didn't laugh once during that movie. I do recall facepalming a few times though.
@@drkblde No one should ever watch that horrible thing even under a threat of a slow and painful death. I felt my brain liquefying in the theater when I watched that pile of shit.
And I have no idea how they made Chris participate in that torture but it was physically painful seeing him act out that terrible excuse of a "script".
You should get a box of Twinkies... You can do a Taste Test while reacting to "Zombieland" (There IS a correlation in the Movie).
The Bookshelf wasn't supposed to fall over in the Library. And the guys just riffed off of it.
People usually don't get the Irony that the "Key Master" kept getting locked out of his own apartment.
Naw if you are going to do a reaction powered by Twinkies the movie would have to be to Die Hard (1988). I think the only way Twinkies could get more screen time would be a documentary on the making of.
And the Gatekeeper kept on deflecting his advances.
If someone asks if you're a god, you say "Yes". If they ask if you're Sarah Conner, say "No"!
🤣
For God's sake SKIP GHOSTBUSTERS 2016. It's a GARBAGE!
We skipped it lol. I did watch and react to the 2021 movie and I will say I really enjoyed that one!
You have just witnessed my all time favorite movie. You need to watch Ghostbusters II and Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is coming to theaters in a couple of weeks.
Ghostbusters II wil drop Saturday and Afterlife will drop next Tuesday :)
@@popcornroulettereactions Afterlife have two end credit scenes. Don't forget to watch those too 😉.
There were quite a few Ghostbusters games, but the most important one was the one which featured the original cast as voice actors and is generally considered to be "Ghostbusters 3"
G2 is ok, not great. 2016 is a waste of film, Afterlife is wonderful. Frozen Empitre is a treasure. 2016 is the only one not made by a Reitman and has no soul.
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
😆🤣
That was a favorite trope in old B scifi movies. It was also used a lot during the Apollo coverage.
@@Caseytify What was? Twinkies??? 😕
According to the bible, particularly in the books of Thessalonians, no one knows when Christ will return. This is why the bible emphasizes on always staying faithful to God, for you don't know when Jesus will return. Anyone who says they know when the end times are, are either delusional, or flat out lying. Still one of the greatest movies ever made.
My Mother got the complete Corning Ware flowers pots and pans and the dinning set when we moved in 1980, like the pot in the frig.
A small detail, that not everyone gets (i only noticed it, because a friend told me so): When Peter and the Hotel Manager discussed the prices, the three Ghostbusters at first didn't had any idea, what the payment should be. But when Egon raised his hand with the different numbers of fingers to his face, that was his way to tell Peter, what they needed for payment
The main reason very few people see it is because a whole generation saw the cropped TV 4:3 version on cable and vhs, until wide-screen viewing you couldn't see it.
@@mikecostello737most people didn’t notice it until the Nostalgia Critic pointed it out in one of his Top 11 videos
I was 6 when this came out and I still never tire of watching it. I used to watch the 80s cartoon as well "The Real Ghostbusters". It's nice to see the franchise get new life with the 2 latest movies. Ghosts weren't the only thing big in the 80s. The whole horror genre was in full swing. You of course had the major franchises with Michael, Jason, Freddy, Chucky and all. But, there was so much more. Movies like "The Howling", "Silver Bullet", "Fright Night", the 1988 remake of "The Blob", the 1986 remake of "The Fly", Phantasm 1 and 2, and horror comedies like "Return of the Living Dead" and "Night of The Creeps" were all fantastic movies. The direct to video market was booming back then and smaller studios offered many titles at the local video rental stores that you wouldn't see in theaters. Studios like Empire Pictures, Roger Corman's New World Pictures, and Full Moon gave us great classics like 'Galaxy of Terror", The Puppet Master" franchise, "Trancers", "Dollman", "Scanners" and C.H.U.D. Most of these movies are free to watch on Tubi and other steaming services. The budgets are small, the acting isn't the best and the effects are a mix of good to terrible. But these movies have a certain charm to them. Many of them prove that you don't need a huge budget to make a movie that returns huge profits. Hopefully, we'll see a reaction or two to these screen gems. If anything, they are fun to watch.
Hi Amelia, you look lovely!😊 Well you've done it now. Now, that you've watched the first Ghostbusters film you have to watch the whole trilogy, along with the upcoming 4th film. The little green blob "Slimer" is rather famous in the Ghostbusters community. Rick Moranis is probably best known from the film "Honey I Shrunk the Kids", besides this film & the sequel. Great reactions to your very first Ghostbusters film, Amelia!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
I’ve watched the whole trilogy now! Those 2 videos will be coming soon!!
Back in the 80s $5 would have been a lot more than today
This was followed by two direct sequels, two animated series, a reboot, videogames and an upcoming sequel. Eddie Murphy turned down a supporting role in this to star in Beverly Hills Cop, despite co starring with Dan Akroyd in Trading Places. Other comedies featuring the stars of this include Caddyshack and Stripes. Dan Akroyd currently hosts a HISTORY channel series called The UNBELIEVABLE
Eddie Murphy even expressed that he considers it one of his career regrets, not being able to do both movies. Of course, his prior commitment to _Beverly Hills Cop_ didn’t really do his career any harm either, being such an enormously successful movie as well. It seems to have been impossible for him to lose either way in 1984.
@@0okamino too bad the sequels don't hold up as well
@@15blackshirtI think BHC2 isn't bad, as long as you're just looking for more BHC. Not better, and not really different, just more. I guess that's a large part of the disparity between it being another big hit at the box office, while being a big miss for most of the critics side of things, and certainly not having the same longevity. When you get to BHC3, though, it's all too obvious that it was unsuccessfully trying to keep reaching way too far beyond the prime of the first movie.
I saw this movie in the theater in 1984 when I was 9. I agree Ernie Hudson is a mix of Tim Curry and Eddie Murphy.
I saw this in the cinema with my cousin and our parents. We got to the scene with the fridge and Fido roaring “Zuul”, and my cousin ran out screaming. My uncle had to give chase.
in this case they don't know how big the job is beforehand.
Fun Fact: Paddi Edwards, who did the voice of Gozer, also did the voices of Flotsam and Jetsam, Ursula's pet eels in The Little Mermaid (1989)
Holy... That was Gozer voicing them?! I never knew that!
To answer your question, there have been ALOT of GB games. But the better question is "good" Ghostbusters games. And I've played 2. 1 is a 1989 game on the Sega Genesis simply called Ghostbusters. However, in 2009(and remastered in 2019) was a game that Harold(Egon) and Dan(Ray) wrote. As they did with Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II. It was the last project Harold worked on before he died. The 09 game was considered the 3rd film. That is until Ghostbusters Afterlife came out 2 years ago
Never really noticed the siren sounding like a cat until you mentioned it.
Now i can't un-ear it.😩
Make sure you watch the actual 3rd movie (Ghostbusters Afterlife) instead of the 2016 remake. After you are done you will be ready to hit the cinema to watch the upcoming 4th one Ghostbusters Frozen Empire, on March 22nd.
Yes, the 2016 reboot is worth skipping. However, Chris Hemsworth kills it playing the dumb blonde, only male. Kate McKinnon is great. The rest of the movie, meh.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) is a thousand times better.
Afterlife is coming to the channel soon! I really enjoyed it!
I'm curious, which movie are you referring to as #3?? There isn't a true Trilogy since they originally stopped at the sequel.
It was many years later that they attempted the female swapped Reboot. Which I'm really hoping your not considering as #3, that movie was terrible. Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a true continuation from the first two movies. But it's more of a next generation than a Trilogy.
4:33 ectoplasm. The residue from an ethereal encounter.
Dan Aykroyd, is that you?
The "real" thing is supposed to evaporate almost immediately, so getting a sample would be nearly impossible.
@@Enthymene true, but in this reality spirit energy lasts longer, ectoplasm is more condensed, and ghosts form.
Unless your mom broke the corningware dish, she still has it.
She does!
30:40 "The unsung heroes." I hope you realized this was a mistake. "There's something strange...in your neighborhood. Who ya gonna call?"
great movie. do Stripes please
Another great 80s comedy with a great cast including Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, John Candy, John Larroquette, Warren Oates, P. J. Soles & Sean Young. Plus the movie was directed by Ivan Reitman (who also did Ghostbusters)...
"Laser Happy" was the name of my band in college!
🆒
The crazy sense of humor and the special effects are golden! The cast was incredible and everything worked like a charm. It will leave you with more than one set of sore ribs from laughing so hard!
My favorite film, My number 1. Saw it in 1988 I was 5, It scared me than, But started my love of horror, Acted at Haunted Houses from 98-2019. I hurt my spine, It got hard to chase drunk folks. But this movie started it.
I like your use of the word "sciency"
Hey there, just stumbled upon your channel because of this reaction and I must say this is the perfect reaction to the film. Tension, fear, joy, laughs. Fantastic watch and reaction. This is my all time favorite movie. Subscribed and cheers.
So glad you enjoyed! Welcome! :)
There was no CGI in this movie. Ghostbusters II has some CGI.
Huey Lewis and the News successfully sued over the Ghostbusters theme song. Their claim was that it was stealing from their song, "I Want a New Drug."
Ghost theorists claim there are two types of ghosts. Some do the same action, like crossing a room and going down stairs, over and over, unaware of observers, and these are attached to a place. Others are aware of living people and may attempt to interact. These are often attached to a person still living, but are not necessarily bad.
Some are, and I met one as a kid. At least, everything implies it, but my mind has blocked any recollection of whatever it was. It damned sure wasn't Slimer.
Could the ghost capturing and storage devices actually be created or even just theoretically?
Amelia! I always love seeing your reactions and this film is brilliant, so I'm glad you got to watch it. Yeah, Bill Murray does do a fantastic job in these kinds of roles. They are all on top form in this. Great reaction!
There are few more absurd visuals in movies than that ridiculous marshmallow man coming around the corner.
You know what I always notice? In movies and tv shows people always use chopsticks when they’re eating Chinese food. You almost never see that in real life
AND they eat the food directly out of the cartons!
Honorary mention to those Holiday-sized family style meals that the busy working mom just happened to dish out on a typical Tuesday night 😂
Gotta be stylish on film
There is on PS4 and you can play it on PS5
The cards blowing out of the drawers was done pretty simply. It was a fake wall with people behind it pushing them out and blowing through copper tubing to blow them out. Picking up the cards after each take was not really fun unfortunately 🤣🤣
The slimer ghost, named Onionhead by Dan Ackroyd, is actually supposed to be the ghost of John Belushi.
34:57 - As a matter of fact, there is! And it has a majority of the original cast for voices. Bill Murry kinda phoned it in, but everyone else is great. Only Sigourney Weaver opted not to reprise her role, so they got Alissa Milano to play the romantic interest. Dan Aykroyd has described the game as being "essentially the third movie." I know it's available on Steam and PlayStation. Just look for "Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered". If you play it, I hope you haver fun.
34:57 There are many Ghostbusters videogames, but the ones that are based on this movie were developed for old home computers and consoles (NES, Apple II, ZX Spectrum, C-64, Atari 2600, Sega Master System and so on) and they are just awful, specially the NES version.
13 is unlucky and omitted from building floors because on Friday, October 13, 1307, the last stronghold of the Knights Templar was destroyed and most the knights were burned at the stake.
I must say, you really remind me of a very young Annette Bening! There, I got that out of my head!
It's a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Sentinal (ambulance model). There was also a hearse model. (Pronounced like purse, or curse)
Watch Rick Moranis in Spaceballs & also Strange Brew
Also Honey I Shrunk the Kids and Little Shop of Horrors.
I just noticed that this video's thumbnail is the box art for the 2009 Ghostbusters game, which originally was for the PS3 and XBOX 360 but got remastered for current gen consoles, and funnily enough, the game is set less than two years after Ghostbusters 2 and 30 years before Ghostbusters Afterlife.
12:14 I remember the hotel manager telling the Ghostbusters in the 2009 game: "This hotel does not have a 13th floor! None of the grand hotels do!"
Great reaction!
Can't wait to see the reactions to Ghostbusters II and Ghostbusters: Afterlife, particularly Afterlife which was much better than I think most people expected it to be.
Also check out the other big ghost film around this time which is, of course, Ghost (1990) with Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg.
Ghostbusters II
released 35 years ago today ~ June 16th 1989
Ramis, Aykroyd and Moranis were all members of Second City comedy troupe. Aykroyd then went over to SNL, joined later by Murray.
Forget Ghostbusters, I would rather call you.
Fun fact: The composer of the Ghost Buster title song was sued for Theft of music and had a huge judgment against him. Also the ditsy blond dancing with the host of the party when the monster came out of the closet in real life was the wife of Casey Kasems. In the big battle with the Stay Puff man Punk Rockers in the crowd were my cousins who had a business called rent a Punk! As an aside "soil liquefaction" is a real thing and it causes buildings, automobiles, and even people to sink in the ground during strong earthquakes! Yes the end of days is real too...
“What happens when you shut down the protection grid?”
…it would be bad…
And the whole “pencil neck” insult to me has become synonymous for morons that wear stupid suits and ties (or even just ties) in order to make themselves feel ‘more important’ than they actually are, kinda like Peck(er)
I loathe ties, so I use the term a lot. ;)
For non blondes: I would merely imagine, if you were to implement a single stream of air, at the the correct intensity and velocity, you may achieve this effect with the library cards.
I have, near, zero education in physics.
Amelia, you look a lot like Annette Bening. You should watch American Beauty with her in it.
