I liked that he and Janine, the two moat underused characters, got the final scene in Afterlife. But I kinda wish they had stuck with the video game's story about how after Viggo was defeated, he earned his Masters in archaeology and eventually a Doctorate in Egyptology. Instead he apparently just invested his money and got rich. Seemed so generic.
Imagine being hurriedly cast in a crazy, un-describable movie, and told, "You're replacing Eddie Murphy. OK, action!" Amazingly, Ernie Hudson pulled it off with aplomb - and has some of the best line deliveries in the film! Nice one!
I always saw Winston as the everyman. He was the voice of the audience as a normal person watching these three insane characters around him. He was the most important member of the team, because he makes them relatable, and thus, we as viewers could see ourselves as Ghostbusters, and it cemented the movie in a great part of our memories.
I met Ernie Hudson at a comic convention in Miami, Florida, USA, 6 or 7 years ago. I asked him "How is it I first saw you busting ghosts as a little kid and my hair has gone gray and these days you look younger than me??" He chuckled.
When Winston Said To The Mayor "I Have Seen Shit That'll Turn You White." It Makes Me Wonder Did The 2016 Movie Make A Callback To This Line, Because The Two Main Characters Who After They Were Rescued From The Ghost Portal Had Shocking Platinum White Hair?
Rest In Peace Ivan Reitman, you maybe gone, but you will never be forgotten thanks to your remarkable legacy with Ghostbusters, Twins, Kindergarten Cop and more. Thanks you for making my childhood what it was with your funny family fun movies
I own Ghostbusters 2. Twins and No Strings Attached on DVD. He was a talented filmmaker and like Harold Ramis, his death is another loss not just for the world but for Hollywood and the Ghostbusters franchise.
It was released before he died. And he never liked the original. In fact, the man credited as the director (Joe Pytka, who had only directed commercials and music videos) claimed that he was actually hired as the Assistant Director, but Reitman hated the finished product so much that he took his name off and gave Pytka the credit for directing.
It's a good franchise. We'll forget the remake happened, cause that was a mess. But Afterlife made up for that. I had a lot of the cartoon action figures, some of the ghosts that came in little tubs of slime, Ecto 1, and a few others. Including the "Bug-Eye Ghost" that got a cameo in Afterlife.
For me, it’s one of those movies I can watch over and over and over. And it’s good to put on in the background while you’re cleaning…that and Jaws. Or at least that’s usually how I watch the movie. Definitely in my top 20 favorite films of all time.
Still my favorite movie of all time. So many quotable lines... "When someone asks if you're a god, you say yes" "We came, we saw, we kicked its ass" "It just popped in there" "I collect spores, mold, and fungus" "We got one" "There is no Dana, only Zuul" "Ok who brought the dog" And many, many more.

#MintyComedicArts: Top marks to you, good sir. Having been born in The Bronx back in 1981, I had the great privilege of having THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS be my first piece of pop culture entertainment. I do recall the ABC Network airing GHOSTBUSTERS back in 1987 with the alternate, G-rated lines. Even more egregious was the whole pan-and-scan process to reformat the film on 4×3 standard definition TV sets. Egon practically gets ommited out of the group shots that are visible in wide-screen. The only forced pan that actually worked was when Peter eggs on Ray to go get Gozer, a nod to the Library scene from the film's first 15 minutes. As Peter utters the line, he side glances Ray, and the forced camera pan perfectly cuts to Ray's bewildered face!
I saw it on opening Weekend back in the summer of 1984. I was seven years old. One of the best theater experiences in my entire life. I'm posting this comment on June 7, 2022. So I saw Ghostbusters 38 years ago from tomorrow's date. Time flies.✌🏼
Dude, I really dig all your breakdowns but this one is the best as Ghostbusters is my favorite movie of all time! I've truly lost count of how many times I've seen it, I stopped counting at 257 🤣👍
I’m beyond jealous of your Real Ghostbusters figures still in the packages. I had all of them as a kid but were all heavily played with…would love to have some of them still preserved in their packages
Those are the current rereleases. They're in stores now, but they're expensive. They're reproductions of the original toys in retro packaging that even has the Kenner logo, and Kenner no longer exists, having been absorbed into Hasbro years ago. The way you can tell the original/rereleases apart visually is the modern Hasbro logo on the back in addition to the Kenner one. And of course, they'll be in very good condition compared to the original boxes, which even if kept in mint condition uh, conditions would still show some age degradation.
The entire series of "Ghostbusters: The Animated Series" was released in the USA by Time/Life, in a big box set, that was a replica of the firehouse/GB HQ. There were also several children's books, and tape/record book sets that had new original audio adventures of the characters such as "1Ghostbusters Meet the Ghost Riders", but sadly not the actors of the cartoons. Although audio versions of episodes were also released, with narrator explaining what was happening, and sound and voices from cartoons.
Not to mention, during that promo you mentioned in the end, Dan Ackroyd says "The Brave, The Best, The Only: Ghostbusters", which Bill would use in the sequel as "We're the best, we're the beautiful, we're the only: Ghostbusters!"
At least Mr. Reitman lived long enough to see his sons version of the new Ghostbusters, done with care! Speaking of which, I think the movie should honor his memory on the Blu Ray or on the 4K Ultra DVD release at the end credits. Another great director has left us, BUT HE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN! RIP you wonderful man! Same goes to you Harold Ramis 😞🙏
Thanks and RIP to Reitman for giving us so many memories of joy through this movie. Such a classic movie and there’s not more to say that has not already been said. I am glad the the Ghostbusters TH-cam channel plays episodes from The Real Ghostbusters!
Actually, Time Life released the entire Real Ghostbusters series in 2008. It has been out of print for years & is super expensive, but it does indeed have every episode.
RIP, Ivan Rietman and Harold Ramis. Thank you for your gift to us in Ghost Busters. It will live on for generations ❤️ Thank you, Minty! Loved your collection!
Formative experience for me. I remember seeing the commercial....lol I had no idea what overtime was....actually, their were so many jokes that flew past me back then. And Atherton will always be "dickless". Poor bastard.
I find it fascinating how the alternative scenes with Murray make it seem like he built Peter as an entirely different character at some point. He seemed less smarmy and direct, and a bit more eccentric. It also seems like the final version of the character was more just Bill Murray letting himself become the character instead of simply yielding to the idea of the character.
I loved how Ivan was the stand-in for Egon in the climax of Afterlife, he got to portray the character his great and sadly late friend Harold brought to life and at the same time sort of be a member of the Ghostbusters team; I think in light of his passing only months after the movie came out that it is quite touching that he got to do that in the movie that we said goodbye to Egon/Harold, as sort of a way of saying goodbye to Ivan as well. 😥🙂
I would actually really love to see at least one or two of Dan and Harold's Ghostbusters 3 scripts fleshed out in either comic book or animated format. The scripts they were swearing by, back when Bill kept saying no.
@@michaelgatti4038 oh there were absolutely concepts and whole scenes, in the game, that I'm sure were ripped directly from multiple scripts from over the years. Especially when you learn about how badly Dan aykroyd especially wanted the Ghostbusters to go full interdimensional-hopping, but the studios never wanted to cough up the budget.
R.I.P. Ivan Reitman. Man, Minty, you actually managed to find some things about Ghostbusters, that I wasn't already familiar with. Your Ghostbusters collection is epic!! I remember, I had the Real Ghostbusters figures, as a kid, & I had Ecto 1, & I had the proton pack. Sadly, I no longer have any of these gems. The action figures I had all came with ghosts that could attach to them.
@Brandon Page did you also have The Real Ghostbusters Ecto Glow Figures which were the last in the toyline and go for triple digit prices these days if you can find them online LOL!🤗👻🚫👍
I loved the films and the animated series (the writing quality was surprisingly good on many episodes!) A fun episode, Minty! Thanks for sharing more of your collection! Always a nice bonus!
R.I.P Ivan reitman Ghostbusters afterlife Franchise with ❤❤❤👻👻🚫🚫👍and beyond the supernatural, 1946 2022 Ghostbusters 1 1984 and Ghostbusters 2 1989 with Ghostbusters afterlife and many more ghostbusing films with Jason reitman son of ivan reitman.. nearly 40th years later happy 40th birthday in 2024
R.I.P. Ivan. He also produced one of my favorite movies that no one ever mentions which is Howard Stern's Private Parts. His movies will be making people laugh and entertaining folks for years and years to come. What a legend.
I watched Afterlife a few days ago, and I have to say it was excellent. Its a good closure to the original universe story, whilst opening the door for more. What does everyone else think?
Only time will tell if afterlife becomes a classic. I watched it, it's nice. The kids could take up the mantle with 2 more adventures as Ghostbusters. You were right the desert town was dry and lifeless(a pun, get it...afterlife!) Anyhow, I saw this movie as an honorable nod to the goonies(which I hate) it felt like an unofficial crossover with the goonies.plus there are other nods and winks to other movie if you catch them.
@@johnhewitt564 i just missed some Arac Attack/Tremors/Arachnophobia-type of deserted town-characters in the background...the Mall-scene was cool, but did not fit in for me, the Prosperity mall had a plot ;) It would be cool to see more from this cast, Ecto is heading back to NY at the end...
First we lost Harold Ramis, and just when we get closure from that loss with Ghostbusters: Afterlife, We have now lost Ivan Reitman, too. This all feels rather strange to me.
The deleted scene from the first Ghostbusters where Janine gives Egon a coin appears in the post-credits scene and leads into the scene in present day showing Janine, holding the coin, talking to Windton
Speaking of the TV version, the line “What a knockabout of pure fun, that was.” was actually the first take of that scene while the more iconic “We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!” was the second take.
Once again, you’ve given great respect to a movie and it’s creators. Your love of these movies is so fun to watch. Thanks for giving us these great back stories.
Love this channel it was honestly starting to get a little stale doing part 2s for a lot of your classic videos is the perfect kinda rejuvenation this channel needed. Awesome content like always Minty 👌
With all the green and red I would assume it was some sort of Ghostbusters Christmas special or something! :P I'm disappointed you didn't mention the Ghostbusters videogame again, despite it being so great! To me it's essentially a interactive Ghostbusters 3 movie because it uses the original cast and the story is very good! It's available on all systems from the PC, Xbox 360, to the PS4!
@@ElectroDFW Well yeah, when the game uses all the voice actors from the original movie, as well as the writers, with a great story. It might as well have a 3rd Ghostbusters movie! you get to revisit the New York City library and have a rematch with the giant Staypuff marshmallow man! it's a great game worth mentioning! Best version is either the PC remastered version on Steam or $25 or the Xbox One version or a PS4 version if you are a PlayStation player
The 12-inch action figures that came out a few years ago are quite awesome! Cloth film accurate jumpsuits, light up proton pack, and removable gear, etc. We own the Egon Spengler (GB1 proton pack) and Ray Stanz (from GB2 with foam pack). Apparently, they are now collector items, but we play with them🤣😂
Thank you so much Minty. This was an amazing post and I am sooo sad we lost Ivan Reitman. It was a great omage to him and you literally made me cry with the ending. I love all of your posts. Keep making everyone's lives better by telling us 10 things we didn't know about great movies. Have a wonderful day my friend.
Wow Minty, the nostalgia this brought back for me was intense. When you showed the filmation ghost busters all these memories came flooding back from when I was little watching them at my grand parents house. I had forgotten all about them but want to show them to my little one now. :)
I remember the first time seeing Ghostbusters in the theatre. We were somewhere out of town in a big old-school theatre decorated with filigree and red velvet hangings everywhere. There were a couple of scenes that I just broke down laughing one was the 'He slimed me...' and the other was seeing gigantic Mr. Stay Puft and I've never heard before or since an audience 'roar' with laughter like that, but that part brought the house down, it was also a really fun crowd and you could tell everyone was having a blast with this movie and the place just erupted with laughing at that scene - I'll never forget it. I don't think I've ever laughed that hard with a crowd of people since ... that was a special experience. Kind of like the first time seeing Empire Strikes Back (when I was five - blew me away) or Top Gun (in mid of nowhere tiny snowy forest town) for the first time...
I still have all the Ghostbusters toys from my 80s Christmases and Birthdays but with them aging I'm worried they will all turn into a disgusting blob!
@MISSION PASSED well Hasbro has reissued the first wave of Kenner Real Ghostbusters Figures including Ecto 1 and are still available online for buget prices, but don't wait too long as the prices are already going up since they were released!🤗😮👻👍
@@SuperMarioBrosIII I did see that and was very impressed, I actually used to keep my originals with their boxes until the attic made them mouldy so threw the boxes away, regrets oh yes
Ecto 1 absolutely has enough ectoplasmic energy to "move" or behave on its own - in a limited fashion. Over the course of the two movies we repeatedly see what enough of Egons muckus does to any material - think of the toaster or the statue. Since Akroyd took the lore very seriously, this is a concept that makes total sense. We see this in Afterlife, Ecto 1 WANTS to drive out onto the field =) They just scrapped so much ideas to streamline the movie - I love these little details. Good job mentioning it
I saw this in theaters and my little sister loved this movie. I was born in 65 and my sister in 77 so although I think some of it scared her it had enough humor to soften the edge. You know the soundtrack got a rerelease a couple years ago? Might be something you might like to add to the collection.
First time doing "ten _more_ things" vid? 🤔 "Minty" has confirmed that he had lived in the UK before migrating to Australia (not sure if he had mentioned it on an earlier video). As well, he seems to be unaware of another Reitman-helmed gem called Dave (1993), which also coincidentally had Sigourney Weaver in a supporting role (larger than in GB); RIP to Ivan Reitman and Harold Ramis 😑🎬
I didn't know about some deleted scenes and tv version. I kinda could see reitman's problem with the stay puft man I find it a bit strange. I do have problems with how Winston is put in the story. Bill Murray's character can be seen as a creep even though he drives the success of the movie. I mean I understand why Sigourney Weaver was cast in the film the zuul part is done very well I'm not sure though about the rest.
@josh72456 originally Winston joined the Ghostbusters much sooner in the original script I think page 6 then all the way to page 16 or 17. Ernie Hudson tried to request producers don't change the script before filming began but sadly he failed. Hudson even auditioned for his cartoon counterpart in 1986 but wasn't chosen. Instead Arsenio would be voice cast for the first couple seasons until the late Buster Jones would voice the character from season 4 onward. 🤔
@@SuperMarioBrosIII yes I knew some things about character having a bigger part in script which may have bern cut more after Eddie Murphy declined since he was original choice.
I thought Afterlife rehashed the plot to the 2nd movie. Maybe giving it enough of a difference to constitute being a sequel. I was hoping for something new though and was let down that the original characters only appeared at the end. I do think it recaptured the 80s charm though, whilst still giving it the modern look.
@@tariqxl the second movie was a totally different story than the 3rd 🤷♂️ no painting ghost, no baby kidnapping, no slime, no dickless man baby, no statueof liberty...maybe you should watch Ghostbusters 2 again 😂 Juuust sayin
@@tariqxl I mean Ghostbusters 2 somewhat copied the plot of Ghostbusters one but I don't see how Ghostbusters afterlife copied Ghostbusters 2 really in any way. Now Ghostbusters 2 is definitely something a rehash of one and afterlife did have part 1s villains which was a little bit unoriginal. Apart from that it was an original Ghostbusters movie that didn't take place in New York, wasn't about the original Ghostbusters, and had a unique plot that tied the original films to this one while also trying something new with a different location and cast.
Minty, your enthusiasm for GHOSTBUSTERS and countless other films and franchises is so genuine it is always a pleasure to watch your videos! And now i feel devastated at the loss of all my real ghostbusters toys that didn't survive moving house... and star wars, and turtles and aliens and transformers and thundercats and gobots and visionaries and insectors and boglins ... the list goes on! I could have made thousands and thousands if i still had them all in good nick. And my brothers barbies and my little ponys might be worth a few bob too, haha
Love the Winston Character. And I remember my dad recorded Ghostsbusters off of TV in 1986, and so we had the TV version edited, commercial breaks and all.
I absolutely love Wintson.
I've legitimately used "If there's a steady pay check in it I'll believe anything" in an interview before. I got the job.
I had an interview yesterday. Now, I wish I had used that line. 😂
In Part II, I still get chills during the subway scene: "WIIIIIIINNSTONNNNNN!" Damn that scene was freaky. He sold that fear like a boss!
I liked that he and Janine, the two moat underused characters, got the final scene in Afterlife. But I kinda wish they had stuck with the video game's story about how after Viggo was defeated, he earned his Masters in archaeology and eventually a Doctorate in Egyptology. Instead he apparently just invested his money and got rich. Seemed so generic.
Imagine being hurriedly cast in a crazy, un-describable movie, and told, "You're replacing Eddie Murphy. OK, action!" Amazingly, Ernie Hudson pulled it off with aplomb - and has some of the best line deliveries in the film! Nice one!
The original Ghostbusters could have been a two hour film. It’s such a tease. I want moar!
Love Winston too.
"Ghostbusters has taught me, I ain't afraid no ghost" - Thank you Ivan Reitman and Harold Ramis for making my childhood LOVED Ghostbusters.
And burn in hell, those who brought us GB 2016..

He was the most important member of the team, because he makes them relatable, and thus, we as viewers could see ourselves as Ghostbusters, and it cemented the movie in a great part of our memories.
Great comment, really great points you made there 😁
Then the people making video games and cartoons say “we can’t do the black guy.. we ran out of that color”
Absolutely a perfect description. Well done
No offense but I gotta get my own lawyer.
I met Ernie Hudson at a comic convention in Miami, Florida, USA, 6 or 7 years ago. I asked him "How is it I first saw you busting ghosts as a little kid and my hair has gone gray and these days you look younger than me??" He chuckled.

@Impact Fan Since 2004 Do u think Ivan Reitman is turning over in his grave over the sequel to Space Jam?
It was released before he died. And he never liked the original. In fact, the man credited as the director (Joe Pytka, who had only directed commercials and music videos) claimed that he was actually hired as the Assistant Director, but Reitman hated the finished product so much that he took his name off and gave Pytka the credit for directing.

Oh Minty.... is this the start of a new segment after all of these years? Nice one. 👍

So many quotable lines...
"When someone asks if you're a god, you say yes"
"We came, we saw, we kicked its ass"
"It just popped in there"
"I collect spores, mold, and fungus"
"We got one"
"There is no Dana, only Zuul"
"Ok who brought the dog"
And many, many more.
"She sleeps above the covers. FOUR FEET above the covers. "
"You know this reminds me of that time you tried to drill a hole in your head. " "That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me. "
"There is no Peter only Zuul."

I was seven years old. One of the best theater experiences in my entire life. I'm posting this comment on June 7, 2022. So I saw Ghostbusters 38 years ago from tomorrow's date. Time flies.✌🏼
@@wadewilson8011 I was born in 84 the first movie I remember watching is Ghostbusters
I'm 61 and still love it.
One of the best directors of comedy ever. Reitman was the right man for this and many other movies.
He was the best.
May he RIP
RIP Ivan
Reit-man I get it, very clever
Rip Ivan Reitmann . Thanks for all the wonderful laughs and memories
Your collection is crazy cool! Not just the GhostBusters stuff, it’s definitely most awesome. 👍🏽👍🏽
I agree
I loved the video game !rip Ivan 😞
Dude, I really dig all your breakdowns but this one is the best as Ghostbusters is my favorite movie of all time! I've truly lost count of how many times I've seen it, I stopped counting at 257 🤣👍
You've seriously seen this movie more than 200 times??? :O
@@Jimbo1221 I sure have 🤣👍
I'm the same, my earliest memory is of seeing GB2 in theaters. It's the only constant in my life, along with the back to the future trilogy.
@@joshdavis416 same here! And on that same note, you wouldn't believe how often I've seen Tim Burton's Batman , in theaters mind you 🤣👍
Movies I've seen the most? Probably a tie between Batman '89 and TMNT '90
I’m beyond jealous of your Real Ghostbusters figures still in the packages. I had all of them as a kid but were all heavily played with…would love to have some of them still preserved in their packages
Those are the current rereleases. They're in stores now, but they're expensive. They're reproductions of the original toys in retro packaging that even has the Kenner logo, and Kenner no longer exists, having been absorbed into Hasbro years ago. The way you can tell the original/rereleases apart visually is the modern Hasbro logo on the back in addition to the Kenner one. And of course, they'll be in very good condition compared to the original boxes, which even if kept in mint condition uh, conditions would still show some age degradation.
I buried my Peter in the dirt.
Great video Mark and a very classy tribute to Ivan Reitman and Harold Ramis.
Rest in peace gentlemen and thank you
The score was crucial for Ghostbusters! Bernstein set the entire spooky atmosphere of the movie.
And Ray Parker Jr. created a pop culture phenomenon with the theme song "Ghostbusters."
The entire series of "Ghostbusters: The Animated Series" was released in the USA by Time/Life, in a big box set, that was a replica of the firehouse/GB HQ. There were also several children's books, and tape/record book sets that had new original audio adventures of the characters such as "1Ghostbusters Meet the Ghost Riders", but sadly not the actors of the cartoons. Although audio versions of episodes were also released, with narrator explaining what was happening, and sound and voices from cartoons.
I found a bunch of the Ghostbusters cosplay props at a Halloween store and I had to stop myself from having a full nerd meltdown.
Not to mention, during that promo you mentioned in the end, Dan Ackroyd says "The Brave, The Best, The Only: Ghostbusters", which Bill would use in the sequel as "We're the best, we're the beautiful, we're the only: Ghostbusters!"
At least Mr. Reitman lived long enough to see his sons version of the new Ghostbusters, done with care! Speaking of which, I think the movie should honor his memory on the Blu Ray or on the 4K Ultra DVD release at the end credits. Another great director has left us, BUT HE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN! RIP you wonderful man! Same goes to you Harold Ramis 😞🙏
Thanks and RIP to Reitman for giving us so many memories of joy through this movie.
Such a classic movie and there’s not more to say that has not already been said.
I am glad the the Ghostbusters TH-cam channel plays episodes from The Real Ghostbusters!
Actually, Time Life released the entire Real Ghostbusters series in 2008. It has been out of print for years & is super expensive, but it does indeed have every episode.
🎶 "If there's something strange in the neighborhood. Who ya gonna call? Minty the Ghostbuster!"
I loved the filmation ghostbusters when I was a kid🏴
RIP, Ivan Rietman and Harold Ramis. Thank you for your gift to us in Ghost Busters. It will live on for generations ❤️ Thank you, Minty! Loved your collection!
Formative experience for me. I remember seeing the commercial....lol I had no idea what overtime was....actually, their were so many jokes that flew past me back then.
And Atherton will always be "dickless". Poor bastard.
I find it fascinating how the alternative scenes with Murray make it seem like he built Peter as an entirely different character at some point. He seemed less smarmy and direct, and a bit more eccentric. It also seems like the final version of the character was more just Bill Murray letting himself become the character instead of simply yielding to the idea of the character.
THIS IS 30 MINUTES??!? I'll love this one.
I heard the new of Ivan Reitman’s passing on Valentine’s Day
Did I need two reasons to be heartbroken?!
I loved how Ivan was the stand-in for Egon in the climax of Afterlife, he got to portray the character his great and sadly late friend Harold brought to life and at the same time sort of be a member of the Ghostbusters team; I think in light of his passing only months after the movie came out that it is quite touching that he got to do that in the movie that we said goodbye to Egon/Harold, as sort of a way of saying goodbye to Ivan as well. 😥🙂
He did a really good job, too.
I would actually really love to see at least one or two of Dan and Harold's Ghostbusters 3 scripts fleshed out in either comic book or animated format.
The scripts they were swearing by, back when Bill kept saying no.
I’d love to believe the 2009 game was heavily based on their original script.
@@michaelgatti4038 oh there were absolutely concepts and whole scenes, in the game, that I'm sure were ripped directly from multiple scripts from over the years. Especially when you learn about how badly Dan aykroyd especially wanted the Ghostbusters to go full interdimensional-hopping, but the studios never wanted to cough up the budget.
Love it love it me and my bud Joe watch you almost every morning.
R.I.P. Ivan Reitman. Man, Minty, you actually managed to find some things about Ghostbusters, that I wasn't already familiar with. Your Ghostbusters collection is epic!! I remember, I had the Real Ghostbusters figures, as a kid, & I had Ecto 1, & I had the proton pack. Sadly, I no longer have any of these gems. The action figures I had all came with ghosts that could attach to them.
@Brandon Page did you also have The Real Ghostbusters Ecto Glow Figures which were the last in the toyline and go for triple digit prices these days if you can find them online LOL!🤗👻🚫👍
I loved the films and the animated series (the writing quality was surprisingly good on many episodes!) A fun episode, Minty! Thanks for sharing more of your collection! Always a nice bonus!
The Real Ghostbusters was scripted by J Michael Strayzinski who wrote the superb Babylon 5, he's a brilliant writer
Rip Ivan Reitman
Last time I was this early, Ghostbusters was still two entirely different animated shows on tv.
Saw Ghostbusters on opening weekend the summer before I was a sophomore in high school, the absolute best age to see that movie.
R.I.P Ivan reitman Ghostbusters afterlife
Franchise with ❤❤❤👻👻🚫🚫👍and beyond the supernatural, 1946 2022 Ghostbusters 1 1984 and Ghostbusters 2 1989 with Ghostbusters afterlife and many more ghostbusing films with Jason reitman son of ivan reitman.. nearly 40th years later happy 40th birthday in 2024
R.I.P. Ivan. He also produced one of my favorite movies that no one ever mentions which is Howard Stern's Private Parts. His movies will be making people laugh and entertaining folks for years and years to come. What a legend.
"We came, we saw we kicked his ass" definitley sounds better
I watched Afterlife a few days ago, and I have to say it was excellent. Its a good closure to the original universe story, whilst opening the door for more. What does everyone else think?
Same. Really good, not epic, but with the right feeling besides the lack of the typical NY-80s feeling. The town felt a little bit 'empty'.
Only time will tell if afterlife becomes a classic. I watched it, it's nice. The kids could take up the mantle with 2 more adventures as Ghostbusters. You were right the desert town was dry and lifeless(a pun, get it...afterlife!) Anyhow, I saw this movie as an honorable nod to the goonies(which I hate) it felt like an unofficial crossover with the goonies.plus there are other nods and winks to other movie if you catch them.
@@johnhewitt564 i just missed some Arac Attack/Tremors/Arachnophobia-type of deserted town-characters in the background...the Mall-scene was cool, but did not fit in for me, the Prosperity mall had a plot ;)
It would be cool to see more from this cast, Ecto is heading back to NY at the end...
First we lost Harold Ramis, and just when we get closure
from that loss with Ghostbusters: Afterlife, We have now lost Ivan Reitman, too.
This all feels rather strange to me.
Not desensitized from the pandemic eh? That’s good.
The deleted scene from the first Ghostbusters where Janine gives Egon a coin appears in the post-credits scene and leads into the scene in present day showing Janine, holding the coin, talking to Windton
Winston's name has been misspelled several times in these comments. Is everyone a little high?
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Actually mine was a typo from D and S being next to each other
Speaking of the TV version, the line “What a knockabout of pure fun, that was.” was actually the first take of that scene while the more iconic “We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!” was the second take.
That’s very cool trivia 😎
Winston has one of the best lines
"Ray, when someone asks you if you're a God, you say YES!"
R.I.P Ivan Reitman!!!!!!!
Thanks for another great vid Minty, I love Ghostbusters 😊 Maybe do a show on the new one (Afterlife)? Pretty please?
Once again, you’ve given great respect to a movie and it’s creators. Your love of these movies is so fun to watch. Thanks for giving us these great back stories.
What a lovely movie, great memories. I was pretty happy while watching Afterlife as well.
Who better to get the effects for Ghostbusters than the SFX team behind Poltergeist and Star Wars.
Love it, good sir. Please do some of Star Trek movies if you so fancy
Love this channel it was honestly starting to get a little stale doing part 2s for a lot of your classic videos is the perfect kinda rejuvenation this channel needed. Awesome content like always Minty 👌
The original cartoon was really great! It still holds up, music and all!
Good morning from louisisna
With all the green and red I would assume it was some sort of Ghostbusters Christmas special or something! :P
I'm disappointed you didn't mention the Ghostbusters videogame again, despite it being so great! To me it's essentially a interactive Ghostbusters 3 movie because it uses the original cast and the story is very good! It's available on all systems from the PC, Xbox 360, to the PS4!
The arcade game was awesome. Most others sucked.
😒 Yeah, that makes sense... A video about 10 more things we don't know about the movie should have mentioned the video game. 🙄 Sure.
@@ElectroDFW Well yeah, when the game uses all the voice actors from the original movie, as well as the writers, with a great story. It might as well have a 3rd Ghostbusters movie! you get to revisit the New York City library and have a rematch with the giant Staypuff marshmallow man! it's a great game worth mentioning! Best version is either the PC remastered version on Steam or $25 or the Xbox One version or a PS4 version if you are a PlayStation player
The 12-inch action figures that came out a few years ago are quite awesome! Cloth film accurate jumpsuits, light up proton pack, and removable gear, etc. We own the Egon Spengler (GB1 proton pack) and Ray Stanz (from GB2 with foam pack). Apparently, they are now collector items, but we play with them🤣😂
Thanks for this sequel Mark... This is my favorite movie of all time. The magic that all the cast bring to this movie is amazing.
I did not know he passed. Wow.
I didn't Know Before Watching This. Shit, Why Do I Feel Like The Last

Thank you so much Minty. This was an amazing post and I am sooo sad we lost Ivan Reitman. It was a great omage to him and you literally made me cry with the ending. I love all of your posts. Keep making everyone's lives better by telling us 10 things we didn't know about great movies. Have a wonderful day my friend.
Wow Minty, the nostalgia this brought back for me was intense. When you showed the filmation ghost busters all these memories came flooding back from when I was little watching them at my grand parents house. I had forgotten all about them but want to show them to my little one now. :)
OMG!
I totally forgot that i had that exact Ecto1 toy when i was a child. That brought back some good memories 😍
We still don't 10 things about happy harry hardon
By chance do you have HBO Max? Lol
I hope you do more MORE top ten facts in the future.
I am glad you added 10 MORE series.... you could revisit other video reviews and do the same!
I remember the first time seeing Ghostbusters in the theatre. We were somewhere out of town in a big old-school theatre decorated with filigree and red velvet hangings everywhere. There were a couple of scenes that I just broke down laughing one was the 'He slimed me...' and the other was seeing gigantic Mr. Stay Puft and I've never heard before or since an audience 'roar' with laughter like that, but that part brought the house down, it was also a really fun crowd and you could tell everyone was having a blast with this movie and the place just erupted with laughing at that scene - I'll never forget it. I don't think I've ever laughed that hard with a crowd of people since ... that was a special experience. Kind of like the first time seeing Empire Strikes Back (when I was five - blew me away) or Top Gun (in mid of nowhere tiny snowy forest town) for the first time...
10 things you didn't know about Childs Play movies next?
Please!!!!!!
I still have all the Ghostbusters toys from my 80s Christmases and Birthdays but with them aging I'm worried they will all turn into a disgusting blob!
@MISSION PASSED well Hasbro has reissued the first wave of Kenner Real Ghostbusters Figures including Ecto 1 and are still available online for buget prices, but don't wait too long as the prices are already going up since they were released!🤗😮👻👍
@@SuperMarioBrosIII I did see that and was very impressed, I actually used to keep my originals with their boxes until the attic made them mouldy so threw the boxes away, regrets oh yes
Nice proton pack. I really was expecting the toy line version that I had when I was a kid. Cool video as always.
I love seeing your collections in these videos. Would not mind seeing more.
Any afterlife coming?!?🙃🙂
Too soon.
@@animechic420 never
@@animechic420 it is never too soon. 🤟❤️🥺😉
Bustin makes me feel good!!!...
Ecto 1 absolutely has enough ectoplasmic energy to "move" or behave on its own - in a limited fashion. Over the course of the two movies we repeatedly see what enough of Egons muckus does to any material - think of the toaster or the statue. Since Akroyd took the lore very seriously, this is a concept that makes total sense. We see this in Afterlife, Ecto 1 WANTS to drive out onto the field =)
They just scrapped so much ideas to streamline the movie - I love these little details. Good job mentioning it
I saw this in theaters and my little sister loved this movie. I was born in 65 and my sister in 77 so although I think some of it scared her it had enough humor to soften the edge. You know the soundtrack got a rerelease a couple years ago? Might be something you might like to add to the collection.
First time doing "ten _more_ things" vid? 🤔
"Minty" has confirmed that he had lived in the UK before migrating to Australia (not sure if he had mentioned it on an earlier video). As well, he seems to be unaware of another Reitman-helmed gem called Dave (1993), which also coincidentally had Sigourney Weaver in a supporting role (larger than in GB); RIP to Ivan Reitman and Harold Ramis 😑🎬
Ivan died on the 12th of Feb not the 3rd
Brilliant! Thank you for honoring the director (and sharing merch!)
Can't wait to see you at 1 million subscribers!
I didn't know about some deleted scenes and tv version. I kinda could see reitman's problem with the stay puft man I find it a bit strange. I do have problems with how Winston is put in the story.
Bill Murray's character can be seen as a creep even though he drives the success of the movie. I mean I understand why Sigourney Weaver was cast in the film the zuul part is done very well I'm not sure though about the rest.
@josh72456 originally Winston joined the Ghostbusters much sooner in the original script I think page 6 then all the way to page 16 or 17. Ernie Hudson tried to request producers don't change the script before filming began but sadly he failed. Hudson even auditioned for his cartoon counterpart in 1986 but wasn't chosen. Instead Arsenio would be voice cast for the first couple seasons until the late Buster Jones would voice the character from season 4 onward. 🤔
@@SuperMarioBrosIII yes I knew some things about character having a bigger part in script which may have bern cut more after Eddie Murphy declined since he was original choice.
I enjoy all three Ghostbusters movies but you just can't beat the original.
I thought Afterlife rehashed the plot to the 2nd movie. Maybe giving it enough of a difference to constitute being a sequel. I was hoping for something new though and was let down that the original characters only appeared at the end. I do think it recaptured the 80s charm though, whilst still giving it the modern look.
@@tariqxl the second movie was a totally different story than the 3rd 🤷♂️ no painting ghost, no baby kidnapping, no slime, no dickless man baby, no statueof liberty...maybe you should watch Ghostbusters 2 again 😂 Juuust sayin
@@tariqxl I mean Ghostbusters 2 somewhat copied the plot of Ghostbusters one but I don't see how Ghostbusters afterlife copied Ghostbusters 2 really in any way. Now Ghostbusters 2 is definitely something a rehash of one and afterlife did have part 1s villains which was a little bit unoriginal. Apart from that it was an original Ghostbusters movie that didn't take place in New York, wasn't about the original Ghostbusters, and had a unique plot that tied the original films to this one while also trying something new with a different location and cast.
Yup, I was getting them both mixed up in my head, haven't seen either since at least the early 90s.
Awesome video that included stuff I did not know about!
I have to tear my headphones when he is *YELLING LOUDLY* (Why does he do that?) that said. I LOVED THE G.B. COLLECTION 'SHOW AND TELL' !!
My 3 year old is OBSESSED with ghostbusters. We literally watch ghostbusters every day or watch you tubers play with ghostbusters toys
Ghostbusters is the greatest film ever made... change my mind
Nah Terminiator 2
Thank you for such a nice memorial for Ivan and Harold.
Minty, your enthusiasm for GHOSTBUSTERS and countless other films and franchises is so genuine it is always a pleasure to watch your videos! And now i feel devastated at the loss of all my real ghostbusters toys that didn't survive moving house... and star wars, and turtles and aliens and transformers and thundercats and gobots and visionaries and insectors and boglins ... the list goes on! I could have made thousands and thousands if i still had them all in good nick. And my brothers barbies and my little ponys might be worth a few bob too, haha
What's the backing track used for this review? I'm sure I've heard it before!
Retrobird uses it too for his videos.
@@LanieG1 Must be in the TH-cam audio library or something then..
Not February 3, but February 12.
Love the Winston Character. And I remember my dad recorded Ghostsbusters off of TV in 1986, and so we had the TV version edited, commercial breaks and all.
Don't forget the Winston line to Ray: "Ray. When someone asks you if you are a god you say YES!"
