its funny that Rick Moranis character is the key master, but locks himself out on a daily basis😂
Omg! I never caught that! Hahaha
All this time, and that never dawned on me! 🤦♂️
Rick Moranis is a master comedic actor. He's one of the best!
Yup. That always cracked me up.
@@Stogie2112 And a genuinely good dude. Left acting after his wife passed away to focus on raising his children.
"CATS AND DOGS! LIVING TOGETHER!"
Mass Hysteria! 😉
‘So be Good, for goodness sake.’
The humor of Saturday Night Live comedians apple biting the pessimistic sarcasm of the city of New York, until we find a common enemy to bust.
Mass hysteria!
My favorite "snark" from the movie. Every time I see a pair of canine and feline pets canoodling, be it real life or in a YT pet video, I put my own spin on the line, "Cue the mass hysteria because the dogs and cats are 'living together'!"
What's great is that he's paraphrasing the actual Biblical reference "the lamb and the lion shall lie down side by side"
“They go up!” is probably my favourite line in movie history
Peter is such a helpful and informative guy.
"Back off man, I'm a scientist"
Not an 80:s film, but The Fifth Element (1997) has a similar spirit as Ghostbusters. It's a well paced, fast, fun action comedy also with a lot of quotable lines. Directed by Luc Besson and a great cast including Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Cris Tucker and Gary Oldman. If you haven't watched it, I think you'll love it.
Great "not-really-based-on-a-comic-book" comic book movie.
"Chick-en GOOD!"
"Multipass!"
"Generally, you don't see that kind of behavior in a major appliance."
Bill's deadpan, smartass delivery of every line is god-tier comedy.
LIsten! .... You smell that?
I'm convinced Bill like Jeff Goldblum aren't actually actors, they're just themselves caught on camera.
this is accurate.
A must-watch 80's movie that took over US culture by storm instantly was "Back to the Future" 1985. It's as tightly scene-by-scene entertaining as "Ghostbusters".
That's another one of Jordan's all time favourites!
Rick Moranis is a Canadian🇨🇦 Icon and should be treated as such.
He was so funny!!
Dan Aykroyd is Canadian as well.
@@danielbullock1019Yes but everyone forgets about Rick. He needs equal recognition as Dan.
Some yutz punched him in the face in NY back in 2020 for no apparent reason. Moranis was a 67 year old man time.😡
Dan Ackroyd is a true believer, his family were all into the paranormal.
The best lines "LISTEN ! Can you smell something ?" - "Gozer the Gozerian... good evening." - "I'm going to send you a nice fruit basket."
Rick Moranis' accountancy monologue at the party was 100% improv. What a legend.
So more 80s - Trading Places (Dan Ackroyd Eddie Murphey) - What About Bob - (Bill Murray Richard Dreyfuss) and one noone is doing that is SOOO funny - Stakeout (Richard Dreyfuss, Emilio Estevez). Look up Brat Pack movies as well - Lost Boys, Young Guns, St Elmos Fire. That's the 80s !
When Dan said he showed this movie to his kids I just imagined them sitting in front of the TV during the montage and going "Daddy... What is that angel doing?"
@@TriarchVisgroup That, ahem, "angel" was Kim Herrin. She appeared in a few ZZ Top videos and had a modest career in the 80s as "eye candy" for various other projects. She was also the "Playmate of the Month" in the very first PlayBoy I formally purchased when I reached legal age. So I tended to notice her when she appeared in something.
@@Redfern42 Does that make the image I painted less disturbing, or more disturbing?
After GHOSTBUSTERS came out, slime or ectoplasm was sold in cartons. It was a great time to be a child. Unfortunately I was already 40.
🤣
You get 80 this year, right?
Wait that means you're about 80 now 😂
@@zombifiedpariah7392 close. I'm 77 going on 78,
They made great use of air hoses for the special effects. The cards flying up out of the drawers? Air hoses. The eggs exploding? Air hoses. Hair flying back? Air hoses.
The marshmallow was actually shaving foam. William Atherton's Walter Peck had around 100lbs (45kg) dumped on him - although the actual amount varies depending on who you listen to.
Great reaction to a great film.
Air hoses! I never would have guessed that!
@@maplenutsreact They had to be inventive before GGI.
@@maplenutsreact Yup, the entire card catalog was fake. The had effects guys standing behind it pushing the drawers open on cue. Inside each drawer was a copper pipe that another team member would let air blow into to get the cards to fly out that way 😆. Also, the part where the book shelf fell over behind them wasmt meant to happen but did and they kept it in and the brief dialogue was inproved
The actress playing the receptionist is Annie Potts you might know her today as Sheldon's grandmother Meemaw on Young Sheldon
She was in that sitcom show "Designing Women"
I remember her as a kid, on episodes of Designing Women.
I remember her as a kid, on episodes of Designing Women.
I remember her as a kid, on episodes of Designing Women.
And she's from Nashville. That's an actress.
In the 80's you would watch these movies blind in a one-screen theater that was not a mega-plex and maybe even had a balcony. There was a romance to the transformative experience, especially if it was a big cultural touchstone like "Ghostbusters." Nothing like it today.
Summer of '84: I was ten, and I can co firm all of the above!
You're right. It's better today.
I first watched this movie in an absolute flea pit of a cinema. One screen, sticky floors, threadbare upholstery, and it stank of stale cigarette smoke.
It's certainly far more pleasant an experience these days, but it is much more sterile.
Those theaters can be found
And usually the upstairs balcony was the smoking section. Better yet was the drive-in theaters. Load up pizza beer snacks kick back relax and watch a movie or two.
The legendary Elmer Bernstein did the score for the film. He has done epics like the Ten Commandments, Ben Hurr, and other classics from the late 50's and early 60's. From the 80's onward he would do the score for various films, but you can always notice his style.
Originally John Candy was to play the part that Rick Moranis plays. John Candy just didn't understand the part, and kept wanting to do a German accent. He eventually let the guys know the part wasn't for him, but he knew of a guy that would be excellent. He recommended Moranis, since Candy knew of his work from SCTV. Rick Moranis instantly understood the part and for his audition did exactly what you see in the film. Moranis became really well know after the film, and helped him land larger parts later on. That's the sort of person John Candy was, if he felt he couldn't do a part he would always recommend someone else, and usually help make them a bigger star.
I appreciate some else out there mentioning the score to a film. Yes Elmer Bernstein's score is awesome for the film, my favorite by the film composer.
For Bill Murray movies, Groundhog Day is a great one. Also, I just love Rick Moranis, and have to wonder if you two are familiar with his comedic Canadian duo, called The Mckenzie Brothers. They made a movie in 1983 called Strange Brew and, if you haven't seen it, you must! 😆 (pretty sure it is a Canadian rite of passage; at least, that is what I read on the internet, so, that's obviously true).😆
Chandra’s facial expressions are always priceless!
I didn't know this until recently but Slimer is actually just a guy in a suit filmed on a black background. I always assumed it was a puppet on strings.
Great reaction guys! I recommend you watch (if you haven't already)Gremlins and The Goonies. Very iconic 80's movies.
Just rewatched the movie myself tonight and realised for the first time, the guard in the jail scene is played by Reginald Vel Johnson -Sgt Al Powell in Die Hard! I must have watched this 20+ times and never noticed before!
As a little boy i had a proton pack with a nerf shooter and a floor trap with a foot pedal to open it and all the gadgets. Was amazing back then!!!
Now that i'm thinking about it, I bet my mom still has that stuff stored somewhere.
This woulda been late 80's but more likely early 90's.
I love your reaction you two. This is what we got in 80s when you get the best comedians and actors and actresses to do a film. From Signory, Annie Potts, Dan, Bill, Ernie, Harold, Rick. They made this movie. Yes, I like that you caught this was comedy, but it had a great story and lore. This is why we love it. Plus, this was different type of hero movie. Comedy and men of science becoming heroes and willing to do anything to save their city.
There really is no other movie like this one! 😂
You've mentioned gaming often, did you know there's a fairly recent Ghostbusters game, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, where four of you can suit up as ghostbusters and play together? It's not the greatest game, but it is fun, especially customizing the character to make myself as a ghostbuster. Worth a whirl to play together IMHO.
There's also an amazing singleplayer game from 2009 that they've remastered that you can get on steam. It features all the actors and Aykroyd and Ramis worked with the writers. It's basically the 3rd movie we never got, in game form.
Just thought I'd share in case you were interested! Anyways! Have fun!
When they catch their first ghost, watch Harold Ramis. He is giving Bill Murray the cues on how much to charge with his fingers. The Slimer Ghosts is their mascot in the animated series.
The cards flying out of the card catalog is honestly the easiest effect to pull off. You can pretty much see the mechanism. There is a shuttle with a wheel on it that spins very fast and is either pulled by a string or pushed with a spring up against the cards. The wheel flings them up in the air. The eggs were pushed with air lines under the counter.
You have just witnessed my all time favorite movie. You should watch Ghostbusters II and Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire will be in theaters this week.
My younger sister and I watched this film at the cinemas back in '84, I'm pretty sure, the first film we ever watched together without our folks (they took us to the cinema and ate nearby while we watched). It was amazing, I loved it, and it scared the hell out of me (probably a bit young to watch it alone, tbh) and I have ever since. The newest film was such a good offering as well.
The next time someone asks if your a God you say "YES!" I still can't believe I didn't notice the irony how often the Key Master constantly locking himself out of his own apartment as a kid.
I'm so stoked you've watched this! My favourite movie as a kid and now! Great reaction guys 👍. BTW, kudos to Jordan for the moustache 👌
When this came out all the t-shirts said "Back off man I'm a Ghostbuster." What a terrible misappropriation of a great line.
You are really on a roll with these films. I grew up on all of these and it's so much fun watching others enjoy them with fresh eyes. Keep it up.
i personally think the line "listen, do you smell something?" is bit of low key comedy that gets overlooked.
I’m a huge cinephile and I love your reactions to such cool classics. You guys will love the fact that Dan Aykroyd and Rick Moranis are VERY Canadian. I hope you’ll go watch “Frozen Empire” this Friday
Besides the Alien and Ghostbuster franchises, Sigourney Weaver most popular pictures were Gorillas in the Mist (1988), Dave (1993), Galaxy Quest (1999), and Avatar (2009). Ghostbuster (1984) grossed $295,582,480 worldwide.
Fun fact:
The Ghostbusters theme by Ray Parker is very similar to the monster hit "I Want a New Drug" by "Huey Lewis and the News," released the previous year.
Lewis sued Ray Parker and won.
Also, did you notice the Stay Puft marshmallows on the counter next to the cooking eggs?
I am obligated under an unwritten and imaginary contract stipulating a list of movies for which I am required to see anybody's first time reaction to watching them...
Ghostbusters being one of these.
And so, I am here. 🍿
@Maplenuts React This movie made me want to live in New York since I was 10. So when I finally got to, I went to Tavern on the Green as soon as I could. It's actually right across the street from the Zuul building irl!
The Real Ghostbusters. I watched that so much. Though I don’t remember much, I vaguely remember a Christmas episode where they accidentally trapped the ghosts of Christmas past present and future. Also I can’t unhear Lorenzo Music as Peter Venkman. Good times.
That squeezy thing is a real instrument to test for gas leaks.
I remember going to see this late at night when it came out, must have been about 6. Then going home and going to bed and waking up in the middle of the night, looking out the window into the woods by my house, and thinking I could see a woman in white standing there in the dark.
80s comedy: Better Off Dead with John Cusack
One of the best movies of my childhood! I could quote that movie daily.
@@GatorScribe726Tentacles. N. T.
2 dollars....cash
If you liked Ghostbusters, you’ll LOVE the 1986 comedy-horror musical, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, which starred Rick Moranis (the “bit much” guy from this flick), with Bill Murray in a featured role.
Be careful though, as it exists it two versions - the original theatrical cut and the director’s cut, which have significantly different endings. Personally, I prefer the theatrical version.
Just an FYI ... the librarian in the beginning scene also plays Ray Finkle's "crazy lady" mom in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
Now, just a comment about something you asked ... When Louis got caught outside the restaurant, YES, the patrons DID see him, but this was more a social commentary about how people in New York seem cold sometimes, choosing to ignore something after seeing it because they see so much crime and weird things happening. So, once they reacted to his screams, they just went back to whatever they were doing (i.e. eating, talking, joking, etc.).
Hearing the young lady saying 'there are so many things in the background' makes me feel good and makes sense that is why I saw it over 50 times. Every time I watched it I saw something I didn't notice the 9th time...and kept laughing!
"Why worry each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back"😂😂😂😂😂
Rick Moranis character was originally was supposed to be John Candy but he eventually turned it down. Also Eddie Murphy was supposed to be the 4th ghostbuster but he was filming Beverly Hills Cop.
Hi Jordan & Chandra!😊 I was just thinking yesterday I haven't seen one of your reactions for a while. Chandra's first time seeing the classic Ghostbusters. This is a big deal!🥳 I hope you guys continue with the entire trilogy as well as the oncoming 4th film. Great reactions to the classic film, Kids!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏 People with CGI fatigue are loving these older films with practical effects!🏆 "Working Girl" (1988) with Sigourney Weaver is a fun comedy.
Such an iconic film... I saw it in theaters. The YT channel Corridor Crew recently did a behind the scenes episode on some of the VFX on this.
Ooooh I would love to see that!
THE most iconic Egon line. "I'm sorry Peter. I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought."
The countertop for the eggs cooking was actually heated. As for the library cards, they piped air in to blow them out like that.
01:37: "This feels like a horror movie. . . did you trick me?!?" "No."
But kind of yes. . . but mostly no?
01:59: "How did they DO that?"
False wall, stage hand behind pushing the drawers out, then air hoses to spray the cards everywhere. Sometimes, the simple tricks are the best tricks.
02:51: "Oh my God, he's kind of slimy."
Well. . . not yet. . .
10:26: The gizmo is one of many science-y props the production had, and Bill Murray picked it for this scene specifically because it was the most funny. It's actually a tool for taking air samples, hence the squeezy bulb.
Yeah, Venkman's Lovable Sex Maniac pick-up artist antics have NOT aged well. Thankfully, he kind of redeems himself when Zuul is throwing "herself" at him and he refuses, legitimately trying to help and reach Dana. Showing that, while he's certainly out to "score," he's not going to take advantage.
She doesn't turn up until the end, but Sigourney Weaver is in a great movie called "Cabin In The Woods."
In the brief cuts when you see them running from cops during the song that was real because they didn't have a permit to film lol In fact the police got many calls about a strange car with a strange logo. Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray (Ray and Peter) often took the car for a drive during thier lunch break and this caused alot of confusion as many wondered what was going on as no one saw a vehicle like that before with that logo. The mayor was reportedly a little ticked off they didn't tell him they where filming but he let them go.
Netflix has a series called "The movies that made us", one of the episodes is about Ghostbusters, how they did it, the whole process. And it's really good, the card effects was people behind hit blowing air from little pipes, for the books they used cables, and many more, it's really enjoyable, I highly recomend to watch that. There are others like Robocop, Alien, Halloween etc
Sigourney Weaver stars in Avatar, but it's a limited role, tbh. She made many smaller movies but her two big comedies were "Galaxy Quest" which is a must-watch and "Dave" which is great but optional.
Awesome, thank you for these!
Galaxy Quest, for sure!
The key master kept getting locked out of his apartment! Ha
I had a behind the scenes book when i was a kid. They DID build massive sets. The Stay Puft scene was just a guy in a suit. Walking through a miniature NYC with lots of model cars and model trees for Central Park. Same with a lot of the "dog" shots. There's actors in the suits. Slimer was a guy wearing a Slimer suit on his torso with black pants.
Fun fact: They almost couldn't use the name because of an earlier kids show called The Ghost Busters (it was terrible). If they didn't get the name rights at the last minute it would have been called Ghostbreakers.
1:57 Air jets blowing the cards from behind.
Anytime I get spooked by a mysterious noise or think I'm not alone when I am, my dumb ass starts singing this theme and before I know it I'm just vibing to song then people walk in, spook me and I'm back to being scared again. 😂
After watching part 2 you gotta show her the game from 2009 was recently remastered in 4k on modern consoles and PC. It was an unofficial 3rd movie before they made afterlife written by Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd even.
So much fun! After you watch "Ghostbusters 2", you could play the 2009 "Ghostbusters: The Video Game" together. It's basically, Ghostbusters 3 and I think you will love it! It was remastered a couple years ago, too.
Here's my partial list of what I term as "complete" movies. Never tire of watching.
The Fugitive, with Harrison Ford
Sneakers, with Robert Redford
Bull Durham, with Kevin Costner
Diehard, with Bruce Willis
Goodfellas, with DeNiro, Liotta and Pesci
L.A Confidential, with Russell Crowe and Kevin Spacey
At 27:20 is a very brief appearance by the cop from Die Hard, playing another cop.
FYI, "I love this plan! I'm happy to be a part of it!" is a great way to end a zoom meeting
8:40 - The eggs scene is some classic low-tech movie magic. The eggs are apparently pre-scored to crack a certain way, there's some sort of pnuematic pusher or blower under the part of the counter to push them out, and the portion of countertop they cook on is actually a ceramic hotplate. That's why the marshmallow bag isn't melting.
After catching the green ghost (Slimer) did anyone else catch Egone help Peter swindle the Hotel Manager by rubbing his 4fingers on his throat quietly. 😂
This movie is in my top 10. Another movie from the same year and in a similar vein is "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension" starring Peter Weller with a supporting cast of character actors.
A cult classic comedy from 1997 is "Grosse Pointe Blank" starring John Cusack and Minnie Driver. Dan Aykroyd is in that too.
Oooo thank you for these recommendations!
I am writing this to help out Shandra and Jordan and this video, and this channel with the algorithm🥰
This movie has an overabundance of hilarious one liners. You know your favorites so I won't list them all here. Mine is "I collect Spores, Molds and Fungus." which has a great callback in "Afterlife"
The 80's movies were full of music. I still have my CD with the soundtrack of Ghostbusters.
16:14 Elvis as a zombie would appear one year later in the music video "Be Chrool To Your Scuel", by Twisted Sister, the song is a duet between Dee Snider, and Alice Cooper, and had visual effects from the same people that made Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video.
For the "Marshmallow", they used Shaving Cream. When the guy who plays the EPA jerk gets a giant deluge of "Marshmallow", it's really shaving cream, but they used a menthol version on accident, and it really burned everyone that was covered in it.
The movie has some moments that may be scary for a kid. I watched some horror movies as a teenager and never had a nightmare but i had one because of Gozer and her red eyes. Best 80s movie for me.
Great Reaction!! So much fun!!
Ghostbuster II is a must now!! ;)
You guys should watch part 2 as well ! Bill, Dan & Sigourney xx
One fun horror/comedy is Frighteners from 1996. Starring Michael J. Fox. And it does have the best B-movie actor (and a personal favourite) Jeffrey Combs in it, probably best known for Re-Animator (1985) and it's sequels.
The device Venkman is using when he first goes to Dana's apartment is an actual device used to test for gas leaks.
"If someone asks you if you're a God, SAY YES!!"
1:08 Most of the cartoon is on TH-cam for free officially. Its on the Ghostbusters page
This movie was my childhood along with TMNT years later.
People often forget, the first two seasons of the Real Ghostbusters cartoon was surprisingly scary for a kids show, lol.
I feel like the EPA has some legitimate concerns regarding their storage facility.
From all impressions, that’s about to be addressed in the new film. Fingers crossed it doesn’t suck.
33:46 - I think it's a puppet being walked down a scale model of a NYC street. With the actors of a fake building ledge superimposed over the top.
The marshmallow Man suits cost approximately $20,000 to $30,000 each despite the cost, they weren’t pleasant to be in, not least because the guy in the suit was on supplied air, as the foam itself was said to be toxic. Three marshmallow suits were made, and all were destroyed during filming. The Marshmallow was barrels of shaving foam, Most of which was memorably dumped on EPA lawyer Walter Peck without his knowledge. The ghost's and the streams were animated one frame at a time, so one second of ghost footage took about threes weeks to complete.
Awesome reaction to an Iconic Movie!! Chandra's genuine smiles and positive energy was great!! Best wishes and much love always!! 🙂❤
Great Reaction Maplenuts!
The first thing I would recommend is for y’all if you haven’t already is to watch the official music video for
Ghostbusters by Ray Parker,Jr. it has a lot of celebrities from 1984! Then definitely check out Ghostbusters II and Afterlife! 🍿🙏🏻
I don't care how many times I see this, that shot of Slimer coming out of the hot dog vendor's cart ALWAYS makes me want a 'street dog'.
Another Hilarious movie with Sigourney Weaver + Tim Allen + Alan Rickman +++ =
"Galaxy Quest"
Sigourney's performance is Spectacular! You could never guess she would play a role like this. But she did, and it's Great!
"Galaxy Quest"
You won't regret it, and you can thank me later.
"He's so serious now."
No. He is not. If it is one thing Bill Murry is NOT in this movie: it is "serious".
So, the cards flying out of the drawers is really a simple, practical effect. They blew air through the back of the drawers.
The green glob ghost is named Slimer. My son had all the action figures, including the Stay-Puft guy. Big memory from when my son was little.
Two other entertaining '80s movies to recommend, kind of along the same lines of Ghostbusters would be Dreamscape (1984) and House (1985), both with comedy and horror elements.
The thing Peter was using was called a sphygmometer, it's used for detecting particulate matter in the air- or smells. I think 🤔
According to the commentary track by director Ivan Reitman, the eggs cooking was done pretty simply. Half of the counter is actually a hot griddle, and that portion is slightly darker than the rest. The effect was done simply by heating the eggs. Exploding like that is just what eggs do when hot enough.
Glad you enjoyed GhostBusters, it was fun to watch. If you like horror movies from the 80's with great practical effects then check out - 'Night of the Creeps-1986' 'The Blob -1988' 'Lifeforce-1984' 'Night of the Comet-1984' 'From Beyond - 1986' 'Dolls-1987' 'The Return From the Living Dead-1985' 'Creepshow - 1982' 'Motel Hell -1980' 'The Funhouse -1980' 'The Serpent and the Rainbow -1988' Enjoy if you watch any of these.
One logistics problem with the marshmallow scene is that the explosion went outwards from the doorway and the marshmallow guy was outside of the rooftop during the blast and so marshmallow would not have gone on the rooftop, just on the street.
The device Venkman used in Dana’s apartment was a carbon monoxide detector. The ball would get squeezed and pull in an air sample.
A new Ghostbuster fan? Now it’s time to watch GB 2 and GB afterlife
This movie blew my mind when i was a kid🙈And it still holds it ground today😁
Hey, guys. Shout out from the US Marine Corps! I've been subscribed for a little while. I think I've had maybe one or 2 comments on your movies. Yeah, I'm so glad that you showed her this. Honestly! Anybody would love this movie. And at the end of the movie, when you guys were talking about which the lines were the best, I truly think people overlook that one line where he says, "It's true. your honor, this man has no dick!." And the special effect are better then like 90% of movies today! Keep up the good times! ❤🤍💙💛
Nobody ever says anything about Janine being played by Annie Pots. From Designing Women, Dangerous Minds (TV), Toy Story, and Young Sheldon's beloved Memaw, this woman is gold.
Dig the mustache twirl lol 👍
