Sometimes, crude special effects are used on purpose to make things seem surreal. Also, they're funny, and Ghostbusters is a comedy. CGI wasn't fully developed yet and wasn't used on "Ghostbusters", but there were more sophisticated special effects available, and what does a ghost or supernatural demon look like anyway?
Dan Akroyd actually believes in this stuff. His passion for ghosts and stuff is why the Ghostbusters mythology is so elaborate.
Yes, he does. He has been interviewed by George Noory a few times as a guest on Coast to Coast.
The midnight to morning radio show.
He also interviewed in (ahem) Playboy and talked about it there. That was the only part of the magazine I read, too......
It's in his family. His ancestors were into this stuff.
@@Wyrmshadow Didn't he say that he actually saw real ectoplasm?
Ever since I found out about that, I've assumed the scene of Ray getting a blowie from the ghost was always a secret fantasy of Akroyd's.
Ghostbusters was done before movies started using CGI. They used practical effects and overlaid animation. I find it really impressive.
Certainly it was before CGI could be used for anywhere near as much detail as the animation in this (even if the animation does still look rather fake to today's eyes). Though CGI was used for very simple effects...I believe Tron (82) was one of if not the first film to use CGI to a large extent, but Westworld (73) also had very minimal CGI, I believe it was the first feature to have any at all. Obviously neither look anything like the CGI we see today!
Other films before this one with with minimal CGI include Future World, Star Wars, The Black Hole, Alien and Star Trek II:The Wrath of Khan.
CGI was definitely utilized, but only for some editing trickery and layering, stuff like that. They just didn't use any for creating any of the monsters/ghosts.
I'd give anything to go back and watch all these classics for the 1st time, this movie will always be a classic
Such a great movie. I would like to go back in time and watch it live in a movie theatre on an old projector screen.
@@NewfieMovieReactions what did you think of Annie Potts in the ghostbusters franchise ? Her voice was so cute
If you liked the movie, listen to the audio commentary for it. It’s got the director (Ivan Reitman), the writer/actor (Harold Ramis), and the producer (Joe Medjuck). It’s one of the most engaging commentary track you’ve ever heard. It goes down the rabbit hole too giving you loads of stories about the creation and production of the film. It’s totally worth it.
Only 36 years late. "Welcome to the party, pal"
At least Peter gets to kiss her at the end, and all he had to do was save the world.
In the beginning when Dana's eggs start frying on the counter, right next to them is a bag of Stay Puft marshmallows.
No cgi, the dogs were puppets and stop motion animation.
Yeah, definitely no CGI in 1984.
@@johnstorm9314 well, there was.. in The Last Starfighter.. and before that in Tron. First photorealistic CGI effect was the next year in Young Sherlock Holmes.
I saw the stop motion dogs in a movie exhibit at a museum. They were fist sized. It was really cool to see them in person. The puppets were obviously much larger but I didn't see them.
Man, I saw this movie in the theater when it came out. It was AWESOME!! Great memories. I catch it whenever it's on but nothing compares to that original theater experience.
The housekeeper’s “what the HELL are you doing?!” Was a genuine reaction, the effects crew put more pyrotechnics on the housekeeper’s cart than she was told there was, she was legitimately scared at that point.
Loved the Ghostbusters movie! Can't wait to check out the next one! Back To The Future will be coming soon as well. Ohh and of course more Harry Potter! Comment below with your thoughts on this film. What were your favorite parts? Peace & Love everybody!
Back To The Future is THE perfect movie! 🥰
...no. The creator of BttF has gone to great lengths to make sure that for as long as they live there will not be another BttF movie. I hear they are working on making sure that stays true after their death as well.
"If someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!" - one of my fav. quotes.
The flowers are still standing.
I loved that part haha. :)
Lol. Everytime I watch one of your movie reactions, my immediate reaction is *gasp!!! He hasn't seen THAT one either!!!!* To be fair though I didnt see this until I was an adult either. My mom said it was too much adult humor. Glad you are watching it.
Thanks! I used to love the cartoon but I never watched the movies.
My mom and I found out together that it was too much adult humour, when I was a kid.
@@tempsitch5632 Yeah, seeing these clips now, I'm like "My parents let me watch this as a kid???" I do remember it being slightly scarier than I liked, but honestly didn't remember the other content so I guess it went over my head? If I ever have kids, they certainly ain't watching this until their teens.
Wow some wuss parents you guys were raised by.
@@sweetkiss119 I know right? Can you imagine a parent trying to filter what might be inappropriate for their child to see at a young age? What terrible parent would do such a thing? Get lost man.
3:55 Prior to this, the test subject guy actually rightly predicts what was on the card. A couple of "wavy lines." Peter actually gets the result this test is looking to get. But he can't see it because he'd rather focus on the flirting than the test at hand.
10:40 The car cost them $4,800 in 1984 which now, because of inflation, is $12,151 in 2021. So you can understand seeing Peter's reaction to that price quote. And that isn't even mentioning the cost of all of the many alterations and repairs they had to put into the car.
11:38 If you look and listen real closely, you can see and hear Bill Murray just barely clear the hurdling of the swinging door. Any closer and he might've been seriously hurt.
12:21 Those personalities and character traits translate over flawlessly to their animated counterparts. That is what makes the cartoon so freaking good, especially the syndicated, network episodes.
12:57 That thing he is using is to detect odorless gas trails.
16:24 The reaction from the cleaning lady actress is genuine. The actress didn't know that much pyrotechnics were laced on the cart. Also, the movie crew were supposed to count down to the explosion, but they forewent that in order to garner a real looking reaction. When she says "What the hell are you doing," she was actually reprimanding the special effects guys.
16:49 The ghost homage to John Belushi, specifically his character Bluto from Animal House. He was supposed to play Peter, but he tragically died before the movie had started pre-production.
17:36 This is the first usage of the verbiage "Slimed." Before this movie, the word "slime" was only ever just a noun. Funny how a simple word change can alter the popular lexicon.
20:28 "Mommy...Daddy, why is the zipper going down by itself?"
25:42 This scene goes to show that Peter isn't a creeper. He actually shows great restraint and concern here for Dana. He is tempted, no doubt, but he overcomes it. He knows it wouldn't be right.
26:25 That voice is actually the director's own altered voice.
29:11 Peter is being very uncharacteristically responsible here. Maybe he learned a thing or two from his encounter with Zuul?
31:16 Carl Winslow (Reginald VelJohnson) cameo FTW!
34:09 "Go 'get her,' Ray" A callback to Ray's plan with the librarian ghost. I love a good callback joke.
35:02 At one point, Gozer was written to be played by Paul Reubens in his "Pee-Wee Herman" persona. Cooler heads prevailed, fortunately enough.
35:38 The acting and facial expressions here are superb. It is a prime example that you should always respect your audience's intelligence. In today's movies, you would get this long and loud sequence of characters talking and yelling to try and explain to the audience how they should react to seeing Ray's flub up. Here, none of the Ghostbusters have to even utter a word to express their realization that Ray is to blame for the choice. Their faces tell it all without the need for an explanation.
36:00 Who knew that the mascot of a corporate conglomerate would be the harbinger of the end times...
Harry Potter brought me here - I just loved your reactions - but I stayed for the other movies too you've been watching. You're so fun and entertaining to watch! Clever, funny and sweet, you never fail to cheer me up.
Awesome! Thank you!
@@NewfieMovieReactions fun fact: Casey Kasem played shaggy in scooby doo before his untimely death
About 12 years ago, I was at a small auto rally (short track auto racing /demolilshion derby, etc...) When I went to the men's room late in the night (after most of us had been drinking beer all evenning) I stepped up to the trough-type urinal down the center of the room and just as I was whipping it out, I reminded the other men: "Remember Ghostbusters, fellas..... Don't cross the streams!" Every drunk man there started laughing and our piss was splashing all over! We howled and howled with my chuckles! 😀
Lol that's awesome.
I remember watching this on VHS at a friend's birthday party when I was 7.
You have just witnessed my all time favorite movie!
Absolutely!! Ghostbusters 2 next... Love your videos!
31:17 Reginald VelJohnson has played a uniformed police officer in the top 3 major U.S. cities (NYPD-Ghostbusters, LAPD-Die Hard, Chicago PD-Family Maters)
I somehow forgot family matters took place in Chicago.
I am pretty sure I've seen him as a cop in 1 or 2 other smaller parts/cameos as well.
"She's got Peter on the mind". That could be taken a couple ways.
No one seems to notice or care that Peter went to his date with tranquilizers on hand...
By the way, much like Back to the Future is my husband's favorite move. This? is mine. Saw it in the movie theater with my dad and brother when I was 6. It's been my favorite ever since.
Fun fact: Slimer is John Belushi. Bill Murray's role was intended for him, but when he passed away, they made him a ghost instead.
Really!? Woah. Thanks for sharing. Belushi is awesome.
@@NewfieMovieReactions Really. :) If you watch his actions compared to other ghosts, you can see it.
The ghosts name was onionhead. Not until the cartoon did the name change.
you should try Honey i shrunk the kids With Rick Moranis
Yes I should!
It's a kid's movie.
@@tempsitch5632 so whats wrong with kids movies?
@@DarnHooligan Everything, if you're an adult.
@@tempsitch5632 lmfao adults watch kids movies as well
what are you some 7 year old trying to act all mature?
Saw this one in the theater when it came out
Props to you over other movie react channels I watched that drag out their intros! Straight and to the point you've got a great rhythm to everything!
I love this movie. The new remake is ok. Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd and Rick Morranis in one movie you know it's going to be hilarious.
Yeah for sure. I'm excited to check out all the Ghostbuster films.
@@NewfieMovieReactions Dont bother with the lady ghostbusters one. Its not canon and itll ruin ur view of GB. Stick with GB II and Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which is the next sequel in this GB universe and it is canon.
@Johnny Cab Well, I guess he can 'try', I tried twice but just couldn't finish it.
Oh I disagree. The 2016 movie is a joke, and not a good/funny one. It's not even the cast that's the problem, it's literally everything else.
Notice while Venkman was talking price to the hotel guy, Egon standing nearby surreptiously rubbing his cheek with a number of fingers. ;D
Yup! Telling him how much he should charge. haha
This masterpiece was very welcome in the 80s...I was sold when the music track played on the radio 😄 Then we found out it was a MOVIE ! YES ! And it did not disappoint 👍 This one is “On The List” 🤗. Great Reaction By the way 😄 thanks🤗
I remember going to Pizza Hut for the free Book-It pizza they gave you for reading books at school and Ghostbusters was always playing on the jukebox. Wow, was that a long time ago!
11:25 The car is only just starting renovation when Dana arrives. It's finished and painted for the hotel job.
Decades later the car in the movie is refurbished and repainted AGAIN!
{TH-cam of the car hosted by Dan Ackroyd}
This is like the only movie that absolutely should not work in any form but just crushes it from every angle.
Ghostbusters does crush it. I got quite the laugh and enjoyment out of watching this one. I look forward to the new one coming out this year.
Love it man! You put out such awesome content. Some reactions seem forced and over the top but your reactions seem very genuine which is refreshing! I love how you get so invested in the movies you watch. Keep up the awesome work!
Films I grew up on can't be "old films." They just can't be!
You may have noticed the cartoon was called The "Real" Ghostbusters. That's because there was some legal terrible worth an older TV series called Ghostbusters, which was very different and included a gorilla in the cast. As soon as the movie got popular they made a cartoon based on that other TV show.
Dan Akyroyd was in St. John's a few years ago promoting his Crystal Head vodka. I think he stopped in at one of the Dominion stores and signed a bunch of Ghostbusters merch for fans. Wish I had gone to meet him.
Never seen your channel before but I love reactions to great movies, and this is literally my favorite film of all time.
Love GhostbustersII just as much as the first one. Dana, Jeannine and Louis are back and it's another fun goofy ride.
I loved this reaction. Thank you for the enjoyable (re-)watch of Ghostbusters. Such a classic! :D
Glad you enjoyed it! Such a great film!
I love how in 1984 he paid 4800 for a cadalac station wagon that needs this much work.
This is part of Ray's Character.. he isn't smart with money or decisions, but he's energetic, charismatic, and he's the first one to throw himself into the fray.
That car should have been around 400 in 1984's money.. consider all it needed and the state it was in. xD
Now onto the personalities:
Ray: Heart and soul of the Ghostbusters. Without him, honestly, they can't do what they need to do. He is the most willing to do anything
Peter: The mouth of the Ghostbusters. Even if he's the most cynical and terrible, he is the business end and can manage the money.
Egon: The mind of the Ghosbusters. He is of course the reason they can do what they do.
Winston: The everyman. he provides them with what they lack - grounded perspective. Yes in cannon, he got a doctorate in what we believe is, in Egyptian mythology and archeology, which will further provide further diversity as none of the other Ghosbusters have this type of expertise and ghosts come from all walks of the Earth. This wasn't in any of the two movies but sort of mentioned in the 2009 video game which IS CANNON in the universe.
Yeah that's pretty great. Haha what a good character.
Dimensional fridges bringing you alternate reality’s since 1901 lol
Harold Ramis R.I.P. We miss you, Harold Ramis
The external shots of Dana's apartment are an actual location at 55 Central Park West. The top of the building is a little different in real life. There's actually a glass enclosed apartment on the roof..
New sub mate! 👍
Hey der Nova Scotia from Thunder Bay 🇨🇦
Rick Moranis - Little Shop of Horrors in it too Honey I Shrunk the kids
you can see the stay puft marshmallows next to the eggs. the influence was clearly the michelin man
So the original cast for Ghostbusters was supposed to be Dan Aykroyd, Eddie Murphy and John Belushi. When Belushi died he had to rewrite the script with Harold Ramis and changed a few things. However Slimer is supposed to have the look and represent Belushi for a tribute.
Sometimes, crude special effects are used on purpose to make things seem surreal. Also, they're funny, and Ghostbusters is a comedy. CGI wasn't fully developed yet and wasn't used on "Ghostbusters", but there were more sophisticated special effects available, and what does a ghost or supernatural demon look like anyway?
i gotta give u props due..first thing this Gen X guy thought was "Who has to put those cards back in order to keep the Dewey Decimal system in place?". lmao you get it. love to see younger people understand what's going on.
As you’re a fan of the movie, do yourself a favor and pick up the Ghostbusters video game for Xbox/PlayStation/Switch, before the release of Afterlife, it was considered the unofficial third movie, it was written by Ackroyd and Ramis, and was the last time Harold Ramis voiced Egon before his passing.
It stars most of the original voice cast, with the exception of Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis, and it’s one of those rare licensed games that doesn’t suck.
Great reaction! Such a good movie! I actually saw it a few times in the theater as a kid. The second one is enjoyable, but IMO the story isn't nearly as good. I did not like the 2016 reboot at all. Looking forward to new one though.
I feel like your the Canadian Charlie Day and now I can't unsee it! Great reaction. New sub!
Thanks for the sub!
You're Canadian? I never would've guessed.
"Watch it, buhys. The ghosts are breaking oot." ;)
I'm a yes for Ghostbusters 2. Not as good as the original imo but definitely worth a watch. Don't bother with the 2016 reboot. It's awful.
He's a Newfie (from the province of Newfoundland) which originally had a large Irish settlement in the 19th century I believe (among others), so you'll often find an accent is a sort of odd mixture of Irish and... other, lol.
Apropos of nothing, my ancestors were Acadians from Yarmouth, NS (or more specifically a tiny village called Belleville).
alright dude.. you are a honorary member of Gen X..every response you had was the same as I had in 1984 at the drive-in theater. OMG you born too late. You would have loved living in the 80s!!!!
"I got a feeling it's Slimer.... (shows librarian ghost instead) Ohhh it's a ghost."
Well... like... the name of the movie... lol
"They're gonna be popular now after they save the city..."
Weeeeeelll...
The most unrealistic part of this movie is how much power the EPA has. 🤣
When somebody asks if you're a god, you say YES!
I was ten when it came out. Whole family went to see it and I think they thought it would be okay for kids. Not quite (thank you, Ms. Weaver). Still one of my favourite films!
I love these videos :D
this is a fun take 1st person Ive seen who had the cartoon and snl under his belt
Based on his fairly deadpan reaction to everything and the fact that he apparently had ketamine with him when he arrived for his date with Dana, I've come to the conclusion that Venkman is on tranquilizers 24/7.
Ever wonder where Pete pulls that number out from regarding the first payment for capturing slimer, the $4000..? Watch very closely at 19:30..
Old video I know, but maybe you'll see this.. if you haven't seen "What About Bob?", it's another movie starring Bill Murray. It's one of my favorites. It has Richard Dreyfuss as well. It's funny!
omg dude! u r Gen X in the wrong time period. You are spooking me with your reactions being EXACTLY what I had in 1984!. You rule!
I love how Egon uses his fingers to surreptitiously tell Peter how much to charge the hotel manager.
This movie is from the mid 80's. It's not exactly archaic like The Maltese Falcon.
Also, how did you not know Sigourney Weaver was in this? It was right there in the opening credits. 🤦♂️
Yes Ghostbusters 2 next 😁
no mockumentary type movies here yet
*WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS* a fake reality show of four vampyre flatmates. It´s awesomely filmed and directed.
And it´s crazy and funny as f*.
"Aim for the flat top!!!"
A grown man who's never seen ghostbusters. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Yes definitely react to Ghostbusters 2, all 7 cast members returned for it. The first one is a true classic, so quotable.
9:25 - Never change, Rick Moranis.
Ghostbusters is so special.. should be in a museum... un related but the latest one made me cry...
That library scene used to scare me...
It's Ghost friggin' Busters!
Ghostbusters is special.
Check out the cast:
Dan Akroyd in The Great Outdoors
Bill Murray in Caddyshack
Rick Moranis in Strange Brew
William Atherton in Die Hard 2
Sigourney Weaver in Alien(4): Resurrection
Also, Indiana Jones 👍
"Tell em about the Twinkie..."
It's not a Gargoyle. A Gargoyle is a very specific thing. It's a grotesque figure that is used to channel water.
To gargle is the same.
A Gargoyle is for water. I means nothn else
31:16 It's Al Powell from Die Hard!
The guy who plays Peck was also in Die Hard as the TV reporter.
6:38
Technically, they weren't Ghostbusters yet.
More like, Ghost investigators.
They hadn't even built the proton packs or traps yet.
Dude I love you but where have you been to not see all these classics 😂❤️
I watched the GB cartoon as a kid. But I neve watched movies as a kid, I was always out playing in the woods, sports, video games or tabletop role playing games. Basically the only thing I watched was SNL, Letterman, and the Simpsons. haha
No CGI just puppets, rubber suits and stop motion animation.
@8:10 Fun Fact: the building they filmed the firehouse interiors has been condemned. ....it might have been at the time, but I walk past it often. It's in the worst neighbor in the world.
P.S. Community ?
"Why's there an alternate reality in her fridge !?"
Warranty ran out.
Originally Dan Aykroyd had John Belushi in mind for the part of Peter Venkman. Of course it was not to be.
I always hate it when my eggs fry themselves on the counter…
The original & best. That written, if I could visit alternate Earths, one of the main ones would be where John Belushi either DIDN'T die of ODing, or died at a later date. Reason being simple: HE was supposed to be the original Peter Venkman. I always wonder what how different Ghostbusters would've been, had he been in the role, as originally intended.
It would have definitely been a very different film.
The stop motion animation wasn’t the best because the entire movie was written, shot, and finished in only ten months. The effects didn’t really have the time needed to be finished properly, but it’s still an amazing looking film for its time, and the story and writing are simply amazing.
Just imagine what the new movie will look like now that they have had so much time to work on and perfect it. Can't wait for this pandemic to end so we can finally see it.
@@gokaury Yeah, my only concern though is that it still won't have the same comedic spirit that this movie has (or even the second one, despite it's terrible story). Especially since it's going to be centered around young kids. The best part of this movie is the comedic tone and the character relationships between the 4 of them & the supporting cast.
The good part though is that with Ivan's son at the helm, I do honestly believe it will be much closer in the overall tone than the horrible 2016 version did and have a good balance between light horror & fun comedy. I just hope the comedy is much less "in your face" and facile than 2016 was.
There was no cgi in the 80’s. All special effects and stop motion
The official third movie is coming out hopefully December. Very much looking forward to that.
As am I! Can't wait!
I’m from New Brunswick, so we’re province neighbours! Lol
Woot woot! 🇨🇦❤
@@NewfieMovieReactions Been here since your reaction to the first HP film!
I used to watch the cartoons too! Slimer was the best. Remember ecto cooler?
I just googled Ecto Cooler. Nope that' wasn't available on the tiny Canadian island I grew up on. But it looks awesome. Haha
@@NewfieMovieReactions Once the new movie comes out, they will inevitably release it again. I've heard of people who have mixed it with Dan Aykroyd's Crystal Head Vodka.
11:05 11:06 11:07 11:08 11:09 he was just fixing her computer 🖥
Not what you’re thinking
Great reaction! Can't wait for you to watch Ghostbusters 2 (it's as good as first one, if not better).
@sbvintagecollector44 Maybe it's because I first say second movie, then the first one. So the second movie made more of an impression on me.
Murray and Accroit are so great actors!
I was 10 years old when it was shown in our cinemas. So was not allowed to see him there. Too young 😢 but made up for it as a teenager, of course. It's kind of a cult of the 80s. Everyone knows the Ghostbusters 👻 🔫 ❤ (I even have a carneval group that goes along with the parade as Ghostbusters 😄)
May I ask how old you are? Sorry, curiosity.
In the video you mention that you live in nova scotia. So beautiful ❤. A while ago I was watching the series HAVEN (2010) which was filmed there. I said to my husbund: I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO GO THERE 🤗😄
Sorry for the long text. You are a nice guy!!

No CG back then, it was all stop motion.
$5000 in 1984 is $15,000 today
It sounds rude for him to ask if she's menstruating, but hormonal changes can increase the chances of mental illness. So a woman going through menopause who then experiences stress or even grief can lead to psychosis. And as she said, psychosis has occurred in her uncle so it isn't entirely ruled out
Heck, just being old can lead to Charles Bonnet Syndrome which is characterized by hallucinations
It's very personal, but that's kind of how medical questions tend to be. Just donating blood they ask about aspects of sexual history
If she had answered in the negative to all of these questions that would rule out psychosis (unless she was lying, but she could also be perfectly sane and lying so that's a matter of research vigilance)
Yes! Do Ghost Busters 2!
