That’s one example of the genius humour of the movie Almost like ‘blink and you’ll miss it’s gags Such expertly crafted comic scenarios you just don’t hear of let alone see in any comedy of the last 25 or perhaps more years
One of the things that cinema has lost over the years is solid, intellectual, adult humour - it's clever, sometimes subtle... you're rewarded for paying attention.
I remember seeing this in theatres when I was 5 with my mom and every time I watch this movie I wonder why the Ghostbusters aren't fighting J. Edgar Hoover at the end because all Gozer the Destructor says is "Choose the form of the destructor" and "Choose and perish" and moments after that Peter uses the J. Edgar Hoover reference to explain why they need to clear their minds, but he thought of J. Edgar Hoover after the "Choose and perish" line so the the last fight should've been between the Ghostbusters and the manifestation of J. Edgar Hoover, but somehow the Stay Puft marshmallow man is manifested instead because Ray thought about it after Peter brought up J. Edgar Hoover.
I saw this opening day at the theater and when we got in there were no seats so we told the manager about it and showed our tickets. They brought up the lights and told everyone who had already seen it to leave so there would be places for the new people. It was THAT popular
The 2009 video game was a brilliant game, and truly captured the feel of the first two movies, you feel like you’re an actual part of the team, it was also written by Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis, and was Ramis’ last appearance voicing Egon before his passing, so it’s got a bittersweet vibe to it as well, for those of us that really identified with Egon.
Gotta check out Sigourney Weaver in the ALIEN series! 👽 And Bill Murray in Caddyshack! ⛳️ Dan Akroyd in The Great Outdoors! 🌲 Rick Moranis in Strange Brew! 🍻 🏒
Sigorny Weaver actually came to this film, right after Alien. Apparently, she got up on stage on all fours, and started barking like a dog to audition !!! ROFLMAO
@@tomesofawesome8041 Not really she had 3 other films after Alien and before Ghostbusters. Eyewitness, The Year Of Living Dangerously, Deal Of The Century.
@@tomesofawesome8041 I'd pay to see that! I was never a Sigourney Weaver fan growing up. But recently, I've come to the conclusion that she was a stone cold fox in this.
Rick Moranis was also in "Spaceballs" (one of Mel Brooks' famous comedy/parody movies) And "Little Shop of Horrors" A horror/comedy/musical with a giant alien man-eating plant.
23:32 Dan Aykroyd has a mysticism background in his family and knows esoteric stuff. There IS a building in Manhattan that was built to be a "temple in disguise." This premise was where a Buddhist edifice was made, but it's not invoking any religion... 310 Riverside Drive
This movie was a PG in the UK until it became a 12 (PG-13 equivalent) more recently; but THAT scene was always in it, and when I "came of age" (so to speak), I realised...HOW THE HELL DID THAT GET THROUGH?!
Stripes, Meatballs, What About Bob?, Groundhog's Day, Caddyshack. Very few reactors have done Stripes and Meatballs. Meatballs is a camp movie, more of a summer flick. Stripes, if you're gonna do it - - and I do recommend it - - do not watch the extended cut. It changes the whole movie and it's pretty disjointed and rough. I would say watch the standard length movie and then if you're curious check out the big deleted epic LSD side-saga trip.
This wasnt the first movie about ghost catchers... and it wasnt even the first thing named "Ghostbusters". Mickey Mouse, Goofy and Donald Duck had a cartoon in 1937 called Lonesome Ghosts where they had a company called Ajax Ghost Exterminators... Bob Hope had a movie called The Ghost Breakers with similar themes, and there was a kids TV show in the 70s called The Ghost Busters that had a guy in a gorilla costume as one of the lead actors.. they had to license the name from the cartoon company.
The Ghost Busters is one of my favorite Saturday Morning Live Action series growing up in the 70s. I remember Fisher Price had a Movie Viewer I looked at in Kindergarten, at Nichols Department Store at the toy department was just open. It had Disney's Lonesome Ghost and one I think had The Ghost Breakers.
Try Bill Murray in ‘Stripes’ it also features Harold Ramis (one of the ghostbusters) and John Candy. Life is not complete if you haven’t seen him in ‘Caddyshack’ with Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, and Ted Knight
This movie brings back a nostalgia for me unlike any other. My parents took my sister and i to see it at the drive thru when it came out. Dad had this tiny Datsun pickup where the back seat were to fold up seats that faced each other- best way to describe, google it. In true Florida man fashion he had two rocking chairs in the bed for us to sit in to watch the movie. I remember this enormous fire ant hill next to us on my side that i had to kind of leap over from the truck bed to get down to go to bathroom. The movie itself was a little over my head (i was 7). I remember being afraid of the library ghost, thinking the gargoyle monsters were crazy looking dogs, and crying that the marshmallow man was killed. 😂😂😂 Always smell that south Florida drive thru in my mind when i watch it. ❤❤❤
Nice nice nice! I too love when something can seriously take you back to that very special moment. Watching this at a drive-thru in a pick-up with what sounds like two legit seats in the back...Beautiful!!!
Okay ghostbusters 😂 these movie reactions are good 😊 plus I remember a few years back someone on my block had an old van with the ghostbusters long and stuff on it.
You need to see the cartoon lots of ghosts with personalities, the also fight demons and monsters. Plus the little green ghost from the hotel returns and joins the team.
I got the backpack from Haslab which I modified to be even more screen accurate, and getting the trap, and meter as well, a major step up from the Spirit Halloween version. (Ghostbusters Afterlife version)
Something I've noticed with a lot of reactors: folks ask the same question about Tully screaming outside the glass-walled restaurant and whether people inside couldn't see the monster because they went back to normal. This is a joke about NYC of the time, and nowadays is able to be missed: back when this was made (heck, and into the 90s and some) folks in NYC lived very much on a "I saw nothing" basis.... The joke is both about how used to terrible or weird things are there *AND* how apathetic to other people. For context, my second trip to NYC in the mid-90s, I'm looking out the bus window with some friends and see a guy just openly out on the street smash the back window of a car, grab what was in it, and walk off with it.... no one around him so much as changed stride, let alone acted concerned. By the time I lived there in the mid 2010s it had gotten SO significantly safer (in even the roughest parts of the city compared to what it once was), but back during this era the theme was "I didn't see anything".
bill murray was in the 1st space jam, groundhog day and zombieland(the famous dude in the mansion). but dang bill was smooth as heck in this movie with women. i wonder if that's how he pulled kelis earlier this year. lol and what happened with ray in the bed with that ghost, that singer kesha said the same thing happened to her once. i think she was watching ghostbusters one night drunk and got confused. lol this came out before i was born too, but i used to watch it as a kid sometimes because they would always play it and other older movies that were before my time on that cable channel usa. this, the star wars movies, problem child, pee wee herman's big adventure, all that. i never really payed attention to it though because i was too young to get most of the jokes or the plot. i just liked looking at all the weird stuff in the movie and the action scenes. i did used to watch the cartoon though. i was confused because slimer in the cartoon was their friend, but on here he was mean. with the cartoon though there was an old 70's cartoon called ghost busters that had nothing to do with these characters, so when the cartoon based on the movies came out they named it "the REAL ghostbuster", i guess as a troll to the old one. lol i miss classic movies like this. the 80's/90's quality of the film, the acting, like i can taste the semi-stale movie theater popcorn while watching this and it just brings back a good nostalgic feeling. and yeah rick moranis was cool. he gave up acting to help take care of his family after his wife passed away, but he's been doing some stuff recently with ryan reynolds and other projects i think.
When she's sitting on her chair after talking to her mom on the phone and hearing growling and seeing light coming from under the kitchen door thats coming from her kitchen, when you see the arms come up and grab her while she's in the chair, you can see one of the arms accidentally grab her chest (Meaning grabbing her br35t), just the one.
Tavern on the Green was a restaurant beloved by the rich asshole snobs of New York, they ignored Louis’s situation because he was one of ‘the poors’ and ‘beneath them’, they didn’t give a shit because it wasn’t one of them In trouble.
Right, that was the joke; the first two films are as much a commentary on Reitman/Aykroyd/Ramis' own hometown NYC at the time as they are spooky comedies; no reactor seems to get that scene...they're always like "CAN'T THEY *SEE* HIM? WHY AREN'T THEY *HELPING* HIM!?!" 🤣🤣
That wasn’t a succubus or demon that was a dream ghost. If it was a succubus he would’ve been dead like it would’ve been like A Nightmare on Elm Street scene where he dies in his dream he die for real
Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters 2, and Ghostbusters Afterlife are from the same saga. React to the 2nd one and then the 3rd given that the 4th one will be on theatres on March 22nd.
One of the only things I don't like about movie reactions to movies people say they haven't seen, ot that it is an old classic, is it makes people like me who lived through half the 70's, and through these movies feel old. I feel lucky to be alive while movies were great, seeing the direction movies are going now. Glad people are appreciating these older ones.
As a fellow Gen Xer I agree I seen a whole lot of films/movies older ones way before I was born and newer ones. It does make you feel old when these movie reactors never seen these films in their lifetime.
Slimmer is made to resemble John belushi in the movie animal house. He was supposed to be Bill Murray's part of Peter Venkman but he posed away. So the bright in slimmer so he would still be a part of the movie
At 1:10, Uuuuummmm. DEAD WRONG. GHOSTBUSTERS IS A HORROR MOVIE. A horror movie, with comedic actors in it. THAT, is why the 2016 film sucked so badly. They didn't get it. They through lots of slapstick and cliche humor in there. But no actual horror. And horror is what makes GHOSTBUSTERS a classic.
Hey guys. A little shout out from the US Marines! I. just found your channel and watched this! Great reaction! I really wish you had left the part in, though, when he says, "yes, it's true, your honor. This man has no dick!" And i heard the Shaving cream, they used had some chemical in it that made your skin itch. So they were trying to get that scene done as soon as possible. I read that somewhere. Anyways, you want to see some good movies? Watch either Nobody or Man From Uncle! Looking forward to seeing more reviews from you guys! ❤🤍💙💛
"When someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!!"
Ray and C-3PO seem to have similar programming.
I didn't need this movie to tell me that
I love how Louis becomes the Key Master after continuously getting locked out of his apartment.
MF'er. I never put that together.
I remember when it happen when I first saw it in the cinema when it came out. It's hilarious.
That’s one example of the genius humour of the movie
Almost like ‘blink and you’ll miss it’s gags
Such expertly crafted comic scenarios you just don’t hear of let alone see in any comedy of the last 25 or perhaps more years
It takes getting possessed to have ANY command of his OWN doorway, much less be the Keymaster...

Not many films are a horror for kids and a comedy for adults, absolute classic.
That's a good way to put it Ben. I like.
That's the best way I've ever heard it
The Green One (called "Slimer") was their pet in the cartoon series.
In the cartoon, Slimer (the green ghost) was like their pet. And in part II, he helps them out a little. :)
I saw this opening day at the theater and when we got in there were no seats so we told the manager about it and showed our tickets. They brought up the lights and told everyone who had already seen it to leave so there would be places for the new people. It was THAT popular
lol yooooo! That's a wild experience to see people get ejected out for the new comers 😂😂😂
I think I remember that happened at my local cinema for Ghostbusters.
People sitting through multiple showings! Mass hysteria! After all, it is massively hysterical.
Why do you wanna see Ghostbusters twice? Well because I'm curious.
The 2009 video game was a brilliant game, and truly captured the feel of the first two movies, you feel like you’re an actual part of the team, it was also written by Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis, and was Ramis’ last appearance voicing Egon before his passing, so it’s got a bittersweet vibe to it as well, for those of us that really identified with Egon.
Gotta check out
Sigourney Weaver in the ALIEN series! 👽
And Bill Murray in Caddyshack! ⛳️
Dan Akroyd in The Great Outdoors! 🌲
Rick Moranis in Strange Brew! 🍻 🏒

"The graphics tho"... No graphics, just oldschool hand made special FX. Not one computer used 🤣
Whaaaaat?! That makes it even doper 😂😂
Slimer was kinda their pet ghost in the cartoon, if I remember right.
Rick Moranis was also in "Spaceballs" (one of Mel Brooks' famous comedy/parody movies)
And "Little Shop of Horrors" A horror/comedy/musical with a giant alien man-eating plant.
I'm showing my age...lol this was my childhood movie. Definitely a blockbuster of my era. Hi Charlie
I can see why. It was pretty good
23:32 Dan Aykroyd has a mysticism background in his family and knows esoteric stuff.
There IS a building in Manhattan that was built to be a "temple in disguise."
This premise was where a Buddhist edifice was made, but it's not invoking any religion...
310 Riverside Drive
yooooo I never knew that
True as a kid I didn't understand why the ghost lady was floating over Ray, or why she undid his pants.😮
This movie was a PG in the UK until it became a 12 (PG-13 equivalent) more recently; but THAT scene was always in it, and when I "came of age" (so to speak), I realised...HOW THE HELL DID THAT GET THROUGH?!

Rick Moranis is in the best movie ever made by human hands! Spaceballs!
What would have popped in my mind Clifford the big red dog!
Eddie Murphy was originally going to be in Ghostbusters but he turned it down to do Beverly Hills Cop!
This movie brings back a nostalgia for me unlike any other.

16:47 the only green ghost from Casper I could think of is The Mighty Kibosh from the direct-to-video installments
Okay ghostbusters 😂 these movie reactions are good 😊 plus I remember a few years back someone on my block had an old van with the ghostbusters long and stuff on it.
When Winston says that the job isn't worth $11'500 a year. That's just under $34'000 in today's money.
I absolutely love Ghostbusters ❤❤❤❤❤
You need to see the cartoon lots of ghosts with personalities, the also fight demons and monsters. Plus the little green ghost from the hotel returns and joins the team.
Dope!! Yeah now I want to watch
“Well that’s what I heard…”
*Graphics?* I admit I hate it when viewers think everything that looks good in classic SFX movies is CGI; in 1984?! I think NOT...
They don’t remember a time when CG wasn’t the default choice for vfx
Idk why, but every time I see this movie I think of the movie Flubber.
😂😂😂😂

"GHOSTBUSTERS, WHAT'D YOU WANT?!"
Always makes me laugh
I can’t believe you recognized Rick Moranis but not sigourney weaver.
Maybe they haven’t seen those films

There's a cut from the film where Ray and Winston goes to a mansion haunted by a beautiful female ghost played by the late Kymberly Herrin.
When she's sitting on her chair after talking to her mom on the phone and hearing growling and seeing light coming from under the kitchen door thats coming from her kitchen, when you see the arms come up and grab her while she's in the chair, you can see one of the arms accidentally grab her chest (Meaning grabbing her br35t), just the one.
That particular arm was operated by her husband
It's 1980's New York, the people in the restaurant just watched the demon take that man and went back to eating.😢
Tavern on the Green was a restaurant beloved by the rich asshole snobs of New York, they ignored Louis’s situation because he was one of ‘the poors’ and ‘beneath them’, they didn’t give a shit because it wasn’t one of them

🤣🤣
As far as the diners were concerned, Louis was just a street person being crazy.
That wasn’t a succubus or demon that was a dream ghost. If it was a succubus he would’ve been dead like it would’ve been like A Nightmare on Elm Street scene where he dies in his dream he die for real
If you were watching from a few blocks away then you probably got stomped on by stay puft the marshmallow man
The second is my favorite
Did you see Ghostbusters Afterlife? Good sequel. Far better than the nearly forgotten remake.
Not yet. We plan to watch them all =D
@@CampCrystalCharlie Don't watch the reboot that shouldn't be spoken just watch Ghostbusters 1,2, and Afterlife.
@@ZavaXavierFacts!! I was 15 mins. in & couldn’t bear it, horrible. And I didn’t even know about After Life until last month it was good.
I just bought a ghost busters t shirt, weird!
lol nice! I want one with the marshmallow man xD
My big sister got me one as a gift so I wore it when I visited her to go see Ghostbusters Afterlife.
I never rewatched this as an adult. Kinda creepy but I liked it.
Hope you will see the next Ghostbusters movie thats coming out
Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters 2, and Ghostbusters Afterlife are from the same saga. React to the 2nd one and then the 3rd given that the 4th one will be on theatres on March 22nd.
there is a female Ghostbusters movie / remake (2016)... I don't hate it... the effects are good... and it is not horrible.
It did quite a bit of damage to the brand
Stranger things also helped it back.
You need to see The Real Ghostbusters cartoon series.
Continue with Ghostbusters 2 and Afterlife. With Frozen Empire coming out in March 2024.
Is the full reaction available on your page ?
Should be up by the late night. It was a huge file
Slimer in the cartoon is the mascot.
