Man I love Ghostbusters 2. The RIVER OF SLIME, Vigo the Carpathian, the completely not PC Janosz, Dana (a classically trained musician) is now an art restorer for some reason. All of it is B-movie brilliance. And the court scene was wonderful.
Summary from IMDB:
Having lost their status and credibility five years after covering New York City with marshmallow in Ghostbusters (1984), the once-famous band of spirit-hunters find themselves struggling to keep afloat, working odd jobs. However, when Dana Barrett and her baby, Oscar, have yet another terrifying encounter with the paranormal, it's up to Peter Venkman and his fearless team of supernatural crime-fighters to save the day. Now, once more, humanity is in danger, as rivers of slimy psycho-reactive ectoplasm, and the dreadful manifestation of the evil sixteenth-century tyrant, Vigo the Carpathian, threaten to plunge the entire city into darkness unless the selfless Ghostbusters take action. Can they save the world for the second time?

I get asked a lot about whether being a practicing attorney is like being a lawyer on TV. I love watching legal movies and courtroom dramas. It's one of the reasons I decided to become a lawyer. But sometimes they make me want to pull my hair out because they are ridiculous.
Today I'm taking a break from representing clients and teaching law students how to kick ass in law school to take on lawyers in the movies and on TV. While all legal movies and shows take dramatic license to make things more interesting (nobody wants to see hundreds of hours of brief writing), many of them have a grain of truth.
This is part of a continuing series of "Lawyer Reaction" videos. Got a legal movie or TV show you'd like me to critique? Let me know in the comments!

Objection! Ghostbusters 2 is not bad enough to feel guilt over liking it.
I Second this! It only seems bad because the first was so good, that doesn't mean this is bad!
yup. It's a decent, arguably underrated movie that just follows an era-defining comedy, so "decent" seems extra bad in comparison.
It's "more of the same", which makes it at worst mediocre and at best pretty good. It's still pretty tightly written, extremely quotable and the main actors are still great to watch. It's not like they are phoning it in or anything.
@@oddtail_tiger Vigo, the Scoleri Bros, these are creative and new villains.
The big problem with Ghostbusters II is just that it was basically just the first movie, again, but not as good. The movie itself wasn't really bad. If Ghostbusters II had been Ghostbusters I, then people wouldn't hate it nearly as much, if at all.
SUSTAINED!
Objection: Louis was going to say “Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury” as he turned, but he noticed there was no Jury, so he kept turning and changed it to “Audience” on the fly.
Exactly. That was the joke!
The correct recovery would have been "Ladies and gentlemen of the gallery." Courtrooms do not have audiences. Even a night school trained tax attorney should know this!
@@petersage5157 leave Louis alone! He’s trying and it hasn’t been easy for him since he turned back into a man after having been turned into a dog.
@@petersage5157 and yet... there were fans of ghost busters there so audience..
@@petersage5157 Stop criticizing Louis, or I'll put you under a judicial mistrangement order!
OBJECTION: Winston states in the beginning of the movie that they got sued by local, county and federal agencies for conjuring a 100 foot marshmallow man. If the Ghostbusters got sued for a supernatural event then the court *has* recognized the existed of spooks, ghost, etc.
Over-stained. (I'm torn between whether to overrule or sustain it, because....it's tricky.) The lawsuit was for the immense property damage which the 'Busters caused. On the one hand, yes, the law does recognize ghosts; on the other hand, the Ghostbusters were more dangerous than the ghosts, and that's the topic at hand.
They'd have had a much stronger case if they could prove that the ghosts were, say, actively trying to harm or kill people. A few slime-covered leftover trays and a trick with the card catalog does not an imminent threat make.
@@nicholastosoni707 They weren't acknowledging the existence of a supernatural being made out of marshmallows, they were claiming that it was a creation *of* the ghostbusters. Like a very large practical effect.
@@rowynnecrowley1689 I'm talking about _why_ the Ghostbusters got sued. The Marshmallow Man is sort of beside the point for me--the Proton Packs are already established to lay waste to personal and corporate property; the problem is, the ghosts in the first movie aren't actively malevolent enough to justify the Proton Packs.
Slimer, for example, could have easily been left alone to polish off the scraps from room service--his problem is that he's _too uncouth_ for the hoity-toity Sedgewick Hotel, and the Ghostbusters are scarcely better...but that's what makes it funny.
Unreliable Narrator, Your Honor. Winston states this, yes, but that's his take on it. The various governmental bodies most likely simply claimed that the whole thing was a publicity stunt for their business that got out of hand, and caused massive damage. But from Winston's point of view, yes, that's why they got sued--because of the big marshmallow man they admittedly summoned.
It was after Ray and Winston left the birthday party that Winston stated they conjured a 100 foot marshmallow man and got sued but he never specified that they were sued as a result of conjuring said marshmallow man.
Objection! The Scoleri Brothers entered the well without asking the judge for permission. The bailiff should've tackled them.
Good point Character Select
@@Your-Death I think we can assume that the Judge hired the Ghostbusters to tackle the Ghosts.
#winning
I Think the Bailiff was too busy changing his soiled underwear to help with the ghosts. Besides ghosts are a little outside of a bailiffs league.
Unfortunately, the court does not acknowledge the existence of Ghosts.
The Baliff tackling them would be an acknowledgement of their existence
Objection: Harold Ramis' grin after saying "Egon!" is priceless and iconic for his character.
Considering it was his choice not to smile in the first movie.
Sustained! 😁
Ashley Waner I’ve always loved that bit! For me, it’s the best part of the movie!
It was him deciding to be a dick because he thought it was funny. I thought it was a really nice way of showing Egons comfort with Peter and Ray, especially for such an introvert character he's suppose to be.
It also makes sense since he's known as the more serious member of the group who straightened out a slinky as a kid, and collects spores, molds, and fungus as a hobby. So of course he's not gonna get the joke or ruin it with what he considers funny and humorous. I think it fits perfectly with his character and I still crack up at Venkmen's reaction and Egon's smug smile like he's thinking to himself "Yeah, I can tell jokes too"
“ There are so many potholes on 5th Avenue we didn’t think anyone would notice.”
I love you
Same for our city streets. Lol
"Keep that up mister and I'll find you in contempt!"
It was First Avenue
I read "plotholes" at first.
"The court will not recognize ghosts in any particular criminal trial"
They may want to reconsider that given they just experienced an army of ghosts and a 500 ft tall marshmallow man in the city
Yeah, except it's established in the film that the city sued the pants off of the Ghostbusters because they believed everything to be a hoax and a misuse of pyrotechnics resulting in extensive property damage.
@@ArthurRex131Opinion isn't fact. They have to prove that they did it
Objection: Omission "Well, there are so many holes in 1st Avenue, we really didn't think anyone would notice," Peter Venkman
That has to be one of Peter's best lines!
Sounds like a good answer for any Kaiju on trial. I'm amazed at how sturdy the underground bunkers are. They can knock over a building in a single swat like it was an empty milk carton. However they don't fall into the hollowed out parts of ground where the bunkers are. Engineering genius.
@@jenniferstine8567 They're built with the same stuff that plot armor is made of. :)
@@Razorgeist yeah, that line still holds up even now. Facts.
"Short but pointless" hey, that's what they called me in High School!
You too!! Maybe we should start a club.
I work at a school district and my coworkers call me that
I'm Tom Cruise, and I approve this message.
I'm not short but I am pointless
Hahahahha
“Because this one time I turned into a dog and they helped me” is probably my favorite line ever
The look on the judge's face is always priceless
Objection: I feel sorry for louis. Dude moved away from the big city after this looking for a more relaxed life and ended up shrinking his kids, them himself and this friends, then grew his baby into a giant. Dude can't catch a break
Also him dabbling with botany didn't go well.
@@deathraygonzo6339 in fairness that wasnt entirely his fault, thee plant was an alien
@@magicamadeye The court would probably deny the existence of aliens too.
Not to mention his underlings kept busting in on him while he was playing with his dolls.
He grew his baby *before* he shrunk himself. That baby was a preteen in the third film, after all.
I think when Louis says “Ladies and gentlemen of the...audience...” he is not misnaming the jury. I always felt he thought there was/supposed to be a jury and when he turned around and saw there wasn’t one got mixed up/tripped up and so said “audience” because there is a courtroom observation audience.
Good catch!
Yes, It looks like a bench trial.
Looking at the scene, there is no jury. This is made very clear while Peter is on the stand. You can see the jury box is empty.
You're quite right - here's the relevant part straight from the script:
LOUIS
(scared)
Your honor, ladies and gentlemen of the --
(he remembers there's no jury)
audience. I don't think it's fair to call
my clients frauds. Okay, the blackout was
a big problem for everybody. I was stuck in
an elevator for about three hours and I had
to go to the bathroom the whole time, but I
don't blame them because once I turned into
a dog and they helped me. Thank you.
My dad was an attorney. "That blue thing I got from her" was one of his favorite in-jokes. Glad to see he isn't the only member of the profession who thought it was funny.
My favourite moment from this movie was when Venkman exclaims "Boys, boys!! You're scaring the straights, ok?!" at the diner. 😂
That doesn’t mean what you think it means.
@@dimsumboy22 Would you care to enlighten us?
Objection! Egon smiling is awesome because he was all serious in the first movie, and in this one not only does he crack a joke, he’s full aware what he did and is taking pride in his dumb pun😂😂. R.I.P Harold Ramis
Do more Simpsons please!
"Your honor, I move for a...bad...court....thingy..."
"You mean a mistrial?"
That's why you're the judge and I'm the law-talking guy.
@@davidpumpkinsjr.5108 Mr Pumpkins, do you know you're not wearing any pants?
@Sacha Daenens,
I’m not wearing a tie at all!
I watched "Matlock" in a bar last night. The sound wasn't on, but I think I got the gist of it.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to prove to you not only that Freddy Quimby is guilty, but that he is also innocent of not being guilty.
Objection: Why would the court in the movie's timeline deny the existence of ghosts? Was he out of town when the giant marshmallow man attacked?
@@ScooterinAB Other than the fact that every news organization in the known universe has offices (if not headquarters) in New York and every damn one of them had video of a giant angry marshmallow man flattening cars and climbing a building before he got his face positron-collided out of existence.
@@colormedubious4747 Would they have? This was the mid 80's, not 2019. People didn't have cell phones then, and as soon as any new organization heard about it, they would have either dismissed it as a hoax or arrived too late. We need to remember that this whole event takes place over maybe 20 minutes, if that long.
@@ScooterinAB There was a TV news reporter right in the middle of it. News vans were all over the place and their cameras covered the Ghostbusters' arrival and the crowd celebrating afterward.
@@colormedubious4747 Yes, there was A TV reporter. You're underestimating how many people live in New York and overestimating how many people were in that scene.
Let's not forget, the Mayor himself called in for the Ghostbusters for Staypuff-Gozer. Had to have media leaks of that order of itself, if not payment records for their services. While court may not recognize, the City's Executive branch did.
"Why don't you tell them you don't believe in ghosts?"
This isn't my all-time favorite scene in movies but it is in my top ten. It was a more situationally appropriate comment than any other time in the history of movies. This is literally something any one of us would have told that asshole judge if this situation happened to us in real life.
"It is pretty unusual for ghosts to be released as a result of the sentencing."
-LegalEagle
I don't know that normally happens for me usual murders
Once the sentence is carried out, then yes, quite a few.
"... because one time, I turned into a dog, and they helped me. Thank you."
Lmfao
I love how he says the court doesn’t believe that ghosts don’t exist, but some time before a giant marshmallow man brought terror to new york
There may not be legal precedent to allow ghost acknowledgment in the courtroom
@@Samanosuke1138 The reason is that courtrooms are evidence-driven, so IRL it makes sense that this would be the default stance of the court.
OTOH, in this movie's universe as Doombringer points out... there is ample evidence for the supernatural!
Iirc, it was reasoned away as... Mass hysteria, brought on by a gas leak.
Joseph Davies true, but remember that they were discredited by the government. In fact, they make it a point to tell you in the film that the mayor denied the existence of ghosts and discredited the ghostbusters for his re-election campaign. So, legally, in the movie universe, they were con artists who put on a light show a la Mysterio
@@sirdeadlock yeah but that wouldnt explain the half a million tons of marshmallow that wound up blanketing half the city when Mr. Stay put died.
'From time to time judges like to hear themselves talk' - Understatement of the millennium
The District Attorney's actress, Janet Margolin, sadly passed away on December 17, 1993 of ovarian cancer. A shame, I really enjoyed her in this role and her little appearance recovering from the Scolari Brothers appearing during the credits is a cute little extra.
She was great in 'David and Lisa' (1962).
Objection: Louis specifically said ladies and gentlemen of the audience, after hesitating and realizing there is no jury.
Objection...his name is LOUIS, NOT Lois
Objection: The sixth amending states that defendants have the right to a speedy public trial with an impartial jury. No jury means the trial is unfair and unconstitutional.
@@Aurochhunter Can't the defendants wave their right to a trial by jury?
@@recompile They absolutely can. The choice between a jury trial and bench trial is totally up to the defendants. So why might the GBs have gone this route? Well, as noted upthread, the City of New York has spent the last few years demonizing these guys in the media, denouncing them as frauds and accusing them of massive, willful and pointless property damage as a publicity stunt. If the jury remembers them at all, it's going to be from those very biased news sources. They might have hoped a judge was going to be more impartial and unbiased. Oopsie!
@@soren3569 If that’s the case couldn’t they take the trial outside of New York City or state where they can have a jury who are unfamiliar with the Ghostbusters or don’t care about ghost stuff, so their would be no bias or conflicts of interest?
Objection, counsel is speculating that the witness has never met the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
good lord, what has the legal system come to..
@@-dennis3755 Definitely not a 'system' anymore..! XD!
COWABUNGA DUDE!
Its also sad that Janet Nargolin who played the prosecutor died 4 years after this movie came out due to ovarian cancer
@@jpwickl Wow, that's tragic. and the mention of the Ninja Turtles hits me personally. I was in a "big buddy mentoring" program in 6th grade and my "little buddy" loved the Ninja Turtles. He kept them in his backpack all the time. Sadly, I couldn't meet him on the last day of school because he was in the hospital. He had been battling health problems for a while. I pray he's doing alright today.
I'm so upset that he just completely skipped over talking about if the judge would actually change his ruling out of nowhere in real life like he did when he saw the lady get dragged off. That was the ONE THING I WANTED TO KNOW MOST!!!!!!
Objection! This was not a terrible movie. Aside from that, the Judge acted like he didn't hear about a 100ft marshmallow man roaming the streets of Manhattan.
It's a big step down from the original, but it's still very watchable. Nowhere near my "terrible films" list.
Objection! Rick Moranis is a criminally underrated actor and comedian.
I miss him. He's story is tragic. His wife died of cancer and he retired to focus on the kids.
Was he? Considering he had a very prolific career as a comedian and actor for the time he was active, can he considered underrated? I think he was justly appreciated to his measure and considerable talents.
Except that he was basically Rick Moranis in everything he did.
@@rowynnecrowley1689 I too am familiar with the movie term "typecasting"
th-cam.com/video/CaZD1Z8eUOM/w-d-xo.html
Objection:
You skipped the part after Louis tells the judge about the “blue thing” where the judge issues his new ruling where he dismisses all of the charges and rescinds the restraining order in an empty court room.
Was wondering that to. Since there is no stenographer, other counsel, bailiff, or any one quite frankly anyone. Does it even count if the judge rescinds a verdict in that fashion? Is it then a miss trial?
@@Indigoroses22 And even if it could count in that respect, since the judge was clearly under duress it probably would still not count even if the stenographer stuck around.
You mean the judicial mestrangement order lol
@@Merennulli Merennulli :) Thanks again for the answer. :) Definitely a fun movie to re-watch
@@Indigoroses22
" ...a miss trial?"
No, it's a Ms. trial.
"Well, there are so many holes in 1st Avenue, we really didn't think anyone would notice."
Always felt like this was a great dodge that simultaneously endeared him to the jury. Even if the Judge found it offensive, it was never stricken from the record.
Edit: Looking back at the scene, even when the counselor is asking the questions, YEA there is no jury.
Objection: You’re seriously not going to acknowledge that the witness called the DA “kitten”?
It was the 1980s.
Not a crime
It was a statement of fact. If it walks like a cat, snarls like a cat...
It's reasonable to look at what an aggressive DA like her could do, @@JoinMeInDeathBaby. Could this be called misconduct? Contempt?
I bet she'd complain on the spot to the Judge. Judge would give one warning. Venkman does it again, he blows it for the Defense.
@@LPTV84 It was '92, I believe.

Ghosts throwing everything. “This is actually a pretty good representation of a court room.”🤣
Objection! The look on Egon's face is exactly the best part of the scene!
The bailiff should have just tackled the ghosts
The ghost of a bailiff should have tackled the ghosts.
Objection: Tackle is a normal-type move, and as such, wouldn't affect ghosts.
@@jaschabull2365 Good point. Sustained!

@@jaschabull2365 Ha ha ha! You made my day!
"That doesn't mean he has seen everything beneath the streets of Manhattan."

OBJECTION! The court does not recognize any form of Mutant Turtles; Teenage, Ninja or otherwise. Such an assertion would be totally unradical, dude.
What about sharks?
Does the court recognize the existence of sharks, bipedal or otherwise?
@@CdrChaos Negative
Holden_D_Znuts What about the existence of sentient gargoyles?
@@CdrChaos nah

A wonderful bit of dialogue from Robert Heinlein's The Star Beast:
"Objection, your honour! The prosecution is leading the witness."
"Well, somebody has to. Overruled."
I would love to see you cover Joy's trial in My Name Is Earl, and not just the trial, but all of the prelude throughout season 2, as I thought it was a pretty realistic representation of pre-trial and trial preparation.
So on the Blacklist there is an episode where they focus on jury selection, you should totally react to that one!!
Yes!
I'd love to see him take a look at that.
I always was curious about jury selection. That alone seems like an exhausting process.
Such a great show
Bull focuses on jury selection
Conspiricy:
Legal Eagle was just started as an excuse to watch movies as a job ;)
Objection!:
I want to do this, so it shouldn't be seen as conspiracy but as capitalism at work
Objection: all critics have the same reason
Murikah!!!
You forgot to state your comment in the form of an objection. The turn passes to the player on your left.
The greatest conjob of all time.
Judge: I don't believe in ghost.
A few minutes later, Judge: you must do something.
Ghost Busters: Why don't you tell them you don't believe in ghost.
It's not a terrible movie, it's just a decent flick living in the shadow of a legendary film
Both are very good classic comedies but if one is to be superior to me is the second one. Better photography, better plot, better villain, more creative elements, better jokes, less vulgar, better moranis performance, etc, etc.
Objection!: This movie is severely underrated and deserves a fair trial.
Biggest problem of the movie is that it follows the first movies formula too closely.
True
@@JohnZ117 I think it could be argued that Terminator 2 follows the first movie's formula just as closely, if not more closely than this does. Terminator 2 is a better movie, but Ghostbusters is by no means bad. It's just not as good as the original.
The great Max Von Sydow does the voice for Vigo.

#thatswhatshesaid
Stop describing life
"I know this is a terrible movie" No it's not
It's not as good as it's predecessor but it's definitely got a place in my heart.
@@E-0921 I honestly think 2 is unironically better than 1. Maybe because I'm applying modern sensibilities to a film that is extremely 80s in every way, but I think it's funnier, I think it's better made, it's definitely more ambitious (ambulating Lady Liberty, anyone?), and I think it actually utilises the talents of the cast better than the first one as well. We get to see Dan Aykroyd in his natural habitat of an occult store, for one thing.
@@TheKazragore I can admit I have seen the second more often as a child and an adult.
It’s better than the 2016.
Yeah it is great… and he knows it!
Objection: He wasn't talking to the jury but to the audience
River of slime flowing through Lower Manhattan is called Wall Street.
Objection, in this case we are referring to the river of slime found *beneath* the city.

You are not alone in this, I could've sat here and finished watching the movie with you.
I only recently stumbled upon this channel and have come to really enjoy it, but I also am glad I did because I had never heard of Ting. So I used your link here after seeing your ad presentation, got my number switched over today (and it was ridiculously easy), tested their customer service, and so far I couldn't be more thrilled with paying less than half of what I've been paying. Thanks for the great videos and the ad.
"And YOU don't want US, " Exposing Ourselves"." It was only as an adult that I truly understood the humor of that line 😁
@Captain Caveman, there's even a worse one in WW. Remember the lickable wall-paper? "Lick an orange. It tastes like an orange. The strawberries taste like strawberries! The snozzberries taste like snozzberries!" One of the young girls even confirms, authoritatively, that this is true. It wasn't until years after the book's publishing that another book disclosed that "snozzberries" is slang in Dahl's writing for the scrotum.
Objection: if the jury is entirely composed of ghosts, I call for a mistrial since they would clearly be biased against the defendants.
Objection: "And you don't want us...exposing ourselves!" is the best line in this scene.
One thing I’m curious about is what would happen if a piece of evidence did become a danger mid-trial.
Yeah I wish he’d revisit that part!

As a fellow law study, I love this channel. I may have gone a different direction (don't want to be an attorney) than you, I enjoy this very much. I am just about finished with my masters in criminal psychology (bachelor's degree in criminal justice and criminal psychology) and I have shared your videos with my class many times. I can't wait until this holiday is finished so I can show them this one!
You really should tackle South Park's sue-ance. That has to be my very favorite "Hollywood" court scene.
So at the next trial they'd be like
"The last one was a mistrial"
"Why?"
"Ghosts"
And they'd be even worse off than they were at the start of this one.
I’d like to see an episode on The Three Stooges short Disorder in the Court.
Sustained and agreed.
Sointley! Nuck Nuck Nuck
Yeeeeeeessss!! My favorite Stooges short ever!
I LOVE the way you transition to your ads. They are almost seamless. I was caught off guard the first time, but I almost see them coming now.
My family prefers the second movie to the first, as well.
That was an awesome court scene. Rick Moranis did great as a whiny-voiced man who doesn't always know what is doing but certainly understands the concept of: Fake it 'til your make it! Which is also what he does at the end of the movie when he sends a stream to the museum.
And Harris Yulin was perfect actor for the part of the judge, who didn't even bother hidiing his bias and disdain for the defendents and their cause.
Awesome!
I've been subscribed for a while but this just showed up in my feed. I think TH-cam decided I needed some levity after LegalEagle's more recent videos (which I watched, rapt, and absolutely applaud).

I'd once asked a real estate agent if it was true that people had to disclose whether or not a house was "haunted" before making a sale, even if the seller didn't believe in ghosts. They had said that yes, this was true. The same way that a restaurant owner would be legally required to answer whether or not a meal is "kosher" to a Jewish customer; regardless of whether the restaurateur personally believed in Judaism. (or the Kosher laws specifically)
I always thought that was a great analogy. :)
Except the Kosher procedures of preparing food is a real thing, even if you don't believe in the faith behind it. I don't get how the analogy works.
@@lukerinderknecht2982 Maybe the restauranteur believes that the extra preparation and expense is foolish because whether it's done either way the 💩 is still brown. Unless you're presented with a particular food banned by religion, it can be hard to tell the difference. (At least for me it is.) So if this guy doesn't believe there's any value to running a kosher kitchen, but finds that putting a kosher symbol out attracts more customers, he's in the wrong. If an agent doesn't believe in ghosts, but the house has a well established reputation for being haunted, it's only right to put bias aside.
That's my best guess as how the analogy would work.
@@lukerinderknecht2982 there are many things that are useless to me: a first edition copy of a rare book, or an antique rolex. That nonetheless would be valuable based on it's worth to others ( I could sell it).
The value of things is often decided based on its worth to others- even if you don't believe in ghosts, that house is less valuable because other people think so, whether there thoughts are well founded is irrelevant.
If I sold you gold, and gave you the equivalent weight in steel, it would be a laughable argument to claim it as fair because the price of gold is entirely down to its reputation and not it's actual utility, and in fact the steel was more valuable because it was more useful, even if both you and I agree that steel is more useful than gold.
@@AngDavies I know, and that's not what I was questioning.
OBJECTION!
Clearly, when the camera pans, we see that there is no jury. Meaning your initial statement of it not being a trial is correct. So the statements to the DA are rather pointless. This does make Luis Tully's statement of, "Ladies and gentlemen of the, uh, audience..." more correct as there is no jury for him to speak to.
Um a bench trial is still a trial
This could be a bench trial
There's a jury. They're just ghosts.
@@jainra To this judge ghosts are like fight club. In the beginning he said that he wanted no mentions of them.
Egon's Look: "I know what I did. Twice. At the same time."
1. Ray said his name, so I'll say mine.
2. Mi follows Re, and sounds like 'me'. Egon is me.
"While it is pretty unusual for ghosts to be released during sentencing..."
Oh, good lord! That's probably the best line I've heard from you, yet. 😂😂😂
I really was hoping you'd address the 3 nuclear accelerators being introduced into evidence. LOL
Acknowledged in the original movie as "unlicensed" nuclear accelerators
@@PhireLight That line just makes me think they neglected to fill in "Municipal Form 883(D) - Portable Nuclear Accelerator License Application"... or forgot to include the $50 fee...
You'd think someone who can build portable nuclear reactors would be richer.
@@Dhakadice absolutely false. Portable nuclear reactors are surprisingly affordable

So is a can of Coke but still, The Coca Cola Company seems to be doing alright.
Objection, that is not the New York Supreme Court shown at 2:00. That is the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, which is right next door to the New York State Supreme Court Building
This is one of my most beloved childhood movies
Same, Ghostbusters II is super nostalgic for me. I've also quoted that one line my whole life since: (thick accent)"Everyting you are doing is bad.... I vant you to know this."
"He is VIGO! You are like the buzzing of flies to him." (I have a soft spot for this movie too! Love it.)
So why are you came?
"Vy am I dvippings wid goo?" (Why am I dripping with goo?) Love the Biscuit!
Oh Johnny...did you back the wrong horse. Would you hose him please?
I love Peter MacNicol an awful lot.
Objection: You missed the scene where the judge rescinds the restraining order and dismissed the case.
Yeah, I always wondered if that would be legal as no one recorded what the Judge said/did.
OMG it was so great to watch this! Thanks for grabbing GBII and dropping so many props to the film. Love all things GB and can't wait for Afterlife. So much fun, love your channel..... Do you even need to practise law anymore or just TH-cam? Hahaha
You transition from content to advertisements so seamlessly. It's no wonder that you are a good lawyer
Actually, the reason the ghosts got powerful and was released, was that ghosts feed off of negativity, particularly the negative ones. The bias and yelling the judge was doing gave them that energy to become that powerful.
So they were all ready following him and haunting him and he though it was normal stuff but the emotional energy gave them enough power to manifest in physical forms?
@@tfordham13 Yes. They manifested because of the shouting and anger. But if the Slime wasn't there, the Brothers wouldn't have manifested.
@@jackychang9148 i thought that evaluation was just common sense... you telling me some people just don't understand this scene? That blows my mind.
@@PyroGam3s There are plenty of stupid people in the world my friend.
You NEED to do a few episodes of Night Court. 80's sitcom, you'll love it.
I absolutely agree. Great show.
Thanks a lot...now I got the theme in my head.
In order to fix the outage caused by Ray, wouldn't workers have to fix it at the point of the break? As in, be within sight of the river of slime and witness it?
“Whatever is down there, they must’ve put it there!”
14:17 how they bring up that substance to court without analyzing it first. Also how proton packs are in the courtroom without propper handling and dismantle of dangerous unlicensed equipment.
That could have lead to an unintended nuclear meltdown, leading to thousands of deaths, in and outside the building, along with nuclear fallout.
The IT Crowd has two legal episodes 'Something Happened' and 'Reynholm vs Reynholm' please react to those!
Hmm that’s probably gonna be tough for him because he deals with US law and not British law
I would love to see these.
@@jblue1622 he doesnt practice law in space either but he did that case, so i think he could make it work just by comparison.
Burned at the stake for digging a hole? Pretty harsh.
@brom head12 Don't be a damp squid! :3
Objection:
"Ladies and Gentlemen of the... of the audience."
To which you incorrectly corrected "Jury. And, there shouldn't be a jury."
There ISN'T a jury. The movie got that right too. Again later when you pointed out the "jury of ghosts."
Tully was awkwardly acknowledging the people in the courtroom benches.
It's a bench trial also
Ah, the haunted house case. I remember that one in my law school contracts class.
I can't help but giggle about the Baliff Tackle...I look forward to hearing about it each time I watch a new video! ^O^
Objection!
You didn’t cover the small scene where the Judge retracts (if that’s the correct term) the restraining order preventing the Busters from using their gear. How accurate was that bit?
seriously. he didn't comment on the actual final ruling. wtf?
My favorite sitcom of all time is "Night Court," I'd love to hear you do an episode of that! Also, please do the Tales from the Crypt episode, "Let the Punishment Fit the Crime."
I second Night Court
Third.
I was just going to make a comment about this. I want to see him cover Night Court too. But I'd like to see him cover the Brent Spiner appearances.
@LegalEagle and my fellow Eaglets, I enjoy Ghostbusters 1 & 2 and to a lesser extent the distaff version. The analysis of the trial was great. All the best to all Jim Oaxaca Mexico
"Why don't you just tell them you don't believe in ghosts?" Hilarious film. I love them both. I was actually working in downtown Manhattan when they filmed one of the last scenes when they shot the streams at the "Museum" (actually the National Archives at 1 Bowling Green, the beginning of Broadway across from Battery Park miles form Central Park). I saw Dan Aykroyd. So cool. Like a typical New Yorker, I worked right across the street from there for four years, and never visited. LOL
i once again petition for the trail of Kirk and MacCoy Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Trial.
I don’t know. That trial was held in the Klingon Empire. Is the “legal eagle” versed in Klingon law and can he practice law on Qonos?
DON’T WAIT FOR THE TRANSLATION!
Before I begin watching, I want to see a review of "To Kill A Mockingbird."
KnightMage I tend to get on here and recommend comical courtroom scenes, but I think that this may actually be a very good idea.
Well this comment aged well.
-_-
Oh my heavens, LegalEagle PLEASE!
15:12 I just love how egon took the time to throw a well deserved I told you do in the judge's face I know if I was in that position that would be my first thing to say to the judge I would call him out on his beliefs just to rub salt on the wound and at 16:06 I love how the essentially use the judges fears on being harmed by criminals who no doubt resent him for the outcome of their trial to basically blackmail him into granting them their preferred outcome which is basically them getting off the hook
I love the way Bill Murray contrives a way to be in a suit and not in costume for almost every scene.
Bill just nails every scene he's in
Objection! You left out the actual best line from GB 2!
Louis: "They could be exposed!"
Peter: "And, you do not want us exposing ourselves!"
I can't believe you didn't include the line from Louis when he says "Give me a break, we're both lawyers!" That part always makes me laugh.
Also the electric chair was no longer used in NY since 1963 so either the bros were from that time period or it was just for theatrics to say he gave them the chair
Happy Halloween legal eagle.
