3:10 Maybe not specifically but Ray used it as a slang term for the class five ghost in the scene where he is training Winston in how to use the storage facility okay the containment system.
Giving Louis a foreign accent was also John Candy's idea, yes/no? I think they said he couldn't make comedic sense of the character otherwise. I've long speculated that maybe that's what inspired Janosz Poha, with his thick accent, in the sequel. The part about rewriting Lewis as a starring role surprises me. He's already such an important character!
Yea, I believe Winston was to start out by witnessing a supernatural occurrence and having no luck reporting it to anyone. Since the GBs would then have been the first to take him seriously, he'd have gradually taken interest in onboarding.
@@Q3ark I believe his point is that index cards are an anachronism, and that anyone under forty has probably never seen them, as computers took over that type of organizing, decades ago.
Clarification #1: Michael Gross often said he art-directed the Mooglie (no-ghost), but he didn't design it. It was a detail mentioned in the original Aykroyd-only script, with accompanying possible sketches by a friend of Aykroyd's. Gross had two other artists work on it, and refined it into the iconic graphic we all know and love. (Full disclosure: I never met him, but I was friends with Gross on Facebook up until his passing.)
Clarification #2: Contrary to what is purported in the Movies That Made Us episode, Ghostbreakers was not one of the alternate titles considered. Editor Sheldon Kahn and producer Joe Medjuck misremembered that detail. Medjuck even contradicted himself from the 1985 book Making Ghostbusters by Don Shay, where he stated while the memories were fresh that the "only other serious contender" for the title was Ghoststoppers. Alternate takes from the TV commercial scene can be found in various releases and confirm that the two backup titles were Ghoststoppers and Ghostblasters. Furthermore, Ghostbreakers wouldn't have worked for the same reason they couldn't use Ghostbusters: it's the title of a 1940 Bob Hope movie, so they'd have had to secure the rights for that title, too.
Clarification #3: The green peanut story is true, but no one ever seems to show the correct clip. The clips you showed are of actual sculpted models of Slimer, one of which could be seen in greatly detailed photos when it was sold at auction. The actual clip of a spray-painted peanut is when Slimer dives towards the floor when a chandelier explodes, and the streaking blur of the peanut only lasts about nine frames.
@@rockywatchesmovies Incalculable. From self-recorded VHS to special-ordered letterbox VHS, through DVD and all the Blu-Rays. My sons have seen it projected so many times since 2011, they too can recite every word. We're all in a documentary about Ghostbusters fans from 2016 and continue to be recognized for it when we go to local events. I'm also thanked in a few Ghostbusters references books, including Dan Wallace's big coffee table book and a couple of others. My most popular playlists on TH-cam are five hours worth of interviews from 1989 which no one else had, and a Pet Peeves series battling recurring erroneous urban myths.
I’m sure he did watch the movie. The Ecto-1 is a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Sentinel limo-style endloader combination car (ambulance conversion). Miller-Meteor had kits for either a hearse, or ambulance conversions depending on customer needs. The ambulance was equipped with the lights and siren that (obviously) the hearse wouldn’t have. As such, the Ghostbusters would need the emergency flashers and siren while responding to a call. A hearse conversion wouldn’t fit this need, so the ambulance won out.
I have all of the Ghostbusters films in storage. The first one is the best one hands down.

The TV advert also had other takes where they used alternate names for "Ghostbusters"

2:20 I'd like to know how many kids today know what all those cards are for.
They’re index cards grandpa, it’s not rocket science.

Hats off to you, great comments, thank you. You seem to be Mr Ghostbusters, how many times have you seen the film?

7:14 1959 Miller-Meteor to be precise
River Hudson??
You mean Hudson River… the other one is in York-New
😅
22 things you never knew!! Ghostbusters 84 👉 is 22 times better than Frozen Empire 😅😅😅😅😅😅
I haven't seen the new one yet, may wait till it starts streaming based on what I've heard.
How did the 555 phone number route through the network?
Sigourney Weaver is so pretty!
You misspelled "Huey" for #20.
I guess you've never watched the movie as Ecto-one is NOT an ambulance, but a hearse as Dan Aykroyd states in the movie.
Of course Aykroyd said it was a hearse. An ambulance wouldn't have fit the ghost theme.
It probably was originally an ambulance in the real world.
@@mangiblotarinawabag4964it was an ambulance hearse that what he means
The vehicle was manufactured by a company that converts the vehicle into an ambulance OR a hearse.
Yeah genius. He obviously has never seen Ghostbusters because he got one fact wrong. You must be a blast at parties.
I’m sure he did watch the movie.

The Statue of Liberty scene was used in the sequel
All these things are on imdb trivia section. For the last 15 years. 😮
I never knew that!
@@Sarah_Gravydog316 then this video is for coma patients or under 16 years old viewers.
Marshmellow?
RAY-mis
Grew up in the 80’s and I’ve never seen the entire movie.
Too bad rick moranis hated that role
How do I forward this to President Kamala Harris? Hey Bob, go back to work in the Harris-Wall administration.
The concept of President Harris is definitely a ghost now.
