best story of I'm innocent they've ever heard

Yes this was some funny shit. Normally the ghostbusters woulda gotten shanked or made into their bitches but since the story was so convincing, they joined in.

@@bfettrulez6734 Maybe because they knew them and they knew the shit that was going on in New York (like seeing ghosts and shit)

Like the disciples to jesus. It's such a subtle hilarious joke.

They were all like “man, I wanna hear this, this is some interesting and deep s&@t!”

Because if the world is ending, obviously their petty crimes seem much more insignificant.

They probably thought: Hey... If the world is ending, I can leave...

albatani27 even prisoners have every right to hear stories of the past.

albatani27 Hey, they may be in jail, but they're still regular joes that have probably seen some things. City officials tend to be of the close-minded sort with these kinds of things.

yeah and pirates were famously superstitious, which is why most pirate stories end up doubling as ghost stories. for whatever reason, spooky stuff really appeals to the scumbag psyche.

Check out Rutger Hauer playing an Extra in jail after he was the bad guy in fucking BLADERUNNER

200th thumbs up and I agree!

Winstonnnnnnnnnnn

Never studied

Right! The acxountant ( rick moranis) was solid gold!! Hilarious

He also help John McClane again in 1990 with a situation at Dulles Airport.

He went back to NY (if not mistaken) in a deleted scene of endgame. The one with the unfinished hulk cgi.

Reginald VelJohnson, the greatest movie cop of all time.

He was also a detective in Cypress Beach, California (Turner & Hooch).

He drove a limo for Mick Dundee.

And in the new film that's what this connected to he knew his men would fail so it gave him time for re power egon must hsve planted this for some time even during gb2 he's been studying Shandor's hideouts for years.

@@JustinMacri007 If the video game's event are taken into consideration then Afterlife was the third time they had to foil Shandor's plans.

@@TioMegamanX the events of Afterlife pretty much ensure the game is non canon.

Criminals still appeared to be superstitious and cowardly back then.

That’s because when Egon Spengler is giving exposition you listen dammit

No, it’s because all of the prisoners started to gather in closer.

@@Medicranger Naw, it was they where fucked up human beings 😡😂😂

Almost as if to say, "No offense".

John Bertrand it’s like moviemakers have given up on subtlety and trusting audiences to get the joke without bashing them over the head with it. Ugh.

It’s the most subtle level of hysterical. Makes a statement & the observation proves the statement.

The more you reach into this movie, the more you pull out, a movie that has a giant marshmallow man walking down the street and yet its drenched in subtlety like this, throughout, it’s wonderful.

I’m confused how do you mean comedic?

@@JSPena It's funny

Diego Riveros ?

Always one

Mister Ramis maybe gone but his legacy will live on through us and the next generation of Ghostbusters and comedians actors.

+Haywerth Clarke Winston never studied history...

+Agent1W And also the majority of the world's population won't know it.

"I gotta get my own lawyer..." I just realized that hilarity of that comment.

@@SaraNightfire1 Foreshadows Ghostbusters 2, where the other 3 have Louis representing them lol

No offense, but I gotta get my own lawyer.

Santa Claus

@@josephbritt4767 I thought it was Krampus.

@@Madbandit77 nah

@@josephbritt4767 I was making a joke.

@@Madbandit77 ok

That movie does not exist.

It lives rent free in your head, it's hilarious.

We don't talk about that movie

Trash movie

The downfall of the 2016 movie was that producers, writers, and anyone with creative clout were too proud to let it be a sequel.

And Egon's uncomfortable expression when he notices that. ;)

Fakkerbelch I mean they have kids to...

That's everybodys favourite part that's why this scene is funny all the tough nuts and psychos crowding around to get a piece of the action on something beyond them all lol

Fakkerbelch Egon: After the First World War, Shandor decided that society was too sick to survive. When something deep like that comes from a story from the past, that would definitely get your attention.

If I was in prison and saw a bunch of guys crowding round an architectural blueprint and talking materials, I'd probably want in on it too.

So be good! For goodness sake!..... That is still funny too.. Gets me everytime

I wonder how the Bad Guy from the sci-fi classic BLADE RUNNER ended up playing an extra in this scene

You never studief

You never studied

Like if they knew what they were talking about 😅😅😅😅

It's like the cast has said in many interviews, Akroyd's original script was much darker in tone but Reitman brought Harold Ramis in to shorten it up and give it some light-heartedness. I've always seen it as a scary movie with just enough comedy added in order to make it less scary.

Who doesn't like to be Egon's student

Same

He must have knew how bad things would get if we don't stop what we're doing to ourselves. Like how T-800 saw us in T2 sky net must have saw us as a sick crazy race my point of view.

And shitTok.

And social media and crazy politicians

And all that jazz.

Uhhhh.... why would they be scared they had the Ghostbusters there?!?! 🤣

Sew

Personally I would have refused to set foot in such a place, no matter what my contract says nor how much I am being payed.

@@specialunit0428 Really? I would be intrigued to go in such a place.

@@ThePathStrider Be careful of what you wish for. You have never have been shoved from behind down a steep stairs when nobody was behind you,huh? Seen it happen. Ghost can be bad or not so bad. Hope you don't have to be educated by the bad type. The few I encountered were a mix bag. Keeping right with God and his son seems to keep all of them respectful. Lucky for me that I was dedicated by my parents to Jesus at an early age. The mention of the blood of Jesus sends them away. I had one encounter when I was a teen and I just starting praying and invoking the blood of Jesus. Suddenly the room brightened and the spook left so fast I was wondering if it really happened. I know that you are likely to not have been educated to this but if you ever get dark thoughts that don't jive with who you are or are not of your nature then just try the plea of the blood of Jesus. I have read of Muslims who were being pressured by the other Muslims to be suicide bombers who prayed to Jesus. They are no longer Muslims. They were also alive to write the account of not killing themselves and now are free from that horrible bondage. Praying to a false god 5 time a day or you will be stoned to death seems like a good idea,right? Anyone who wants to quit is sentenced to death and they call it the religion of peace? Don't go to a place of torment if you don't want to be tormented. Jesus is the light and the dark forces hate the light. Call on the light. Hell is described as the absence of light.Its so cold that those who had a taste of it before returning to life said it was like being on fire.

They're popular.

JamesOhGoodie And this is probably the most interesting/terrifying thing they've ever heard.

JamesOhGoodie Well, the city was under attack by ghouls, ghosts, and zombies at the time. I think the police had more important things to worry about than a few eccentric scientists and their pieces of paper.

I'm no expert, but it's just a holding cell, right? We have something similar here, like if you're out drinking and end up in a fight, they might just leave you in a cell in the station for a night to sleep it off.

@@ICantSplel its holding

They probably believe them. Because they too might’ve had encountered a ghost in parts of New York.

I keep wondering how did the other inmates get engaged in the discussion by listening in?

@@BenJabituya because when Egon mentioned about Shandor’s insane desire to end society.

@@kirawedderburn I thought secret things like this are do known to man how did they know Shandor? Do you thihk there like Templers?

@@JustinMacri007 Tobin’s Spirit Guide.

Exactly. That's the crux of any film, TV show, or novel. Nothing else is more important. That's why the Eight Deadly Words exist, and they spell doom for a production: "I don't care what happens to these people."

There was a Prussian (cant remember who, Von Lauenberg or something) who fled to England during the Franco-Prussian war, then on to America. It's believed he was descended from one of the Teutonic Knights who had broken from the order around the start of the 17th century who had decided the wars for land had gone against the teachings of Catholicism. By the time it got to the descendant with war having struck every corner of the globe even before WW1 he had decided humanity did not deserve to see the 20th century and built a following to see the end of the world but (apparently) at the age of 104 some 7 years before the start of the 20th Century he disappeared and his 'following' disbanded. There are obscure references to him in a few books from the turn of the century, I found some articles when I was doing research on less famous disappearances of the late 19th/early 20th century. Maybe be got the idea from this?

Just curious what do you mean by that?

we should conduct alot of unnessary surgery on them

Oh yes! Very much so!

Beautiful!

Captain America: I understood that reference.

Are you serious did he really died!!! ;(

When I first saw ghostbusters I thought Winston was the odd man out. 3 comedic geniuses stealing scene after scene. I thought why in the hell is this guy even in the movie. Upon more viewings I realize just how essential he is. He’s the straight man of the group & he’s the audience. He definitely adds to the value of the film with his presence.

He’s like Zeppo Marx from the Marx Brothers.

"Lemme guess...Gozer worshippers!" "Never studied!"

Captain Barbossa I love it when Ray bops Peter on the head but also where they first interview Dana and Egon accidently flashes him in the eyes with that light, but his reaction there was hilarious!

The climax of the movie is approaching rapidly and we're still getting characterization. That just another reason why Ghostbusters is a great movie.

He was speaking for the audience.

Captain Barbossa The best!

Yeah he is the reason the pink goo was under the sewer.

Facts!!!!

I knew it was over when Jackie Chan Karate Kid came out .. I really like Jackie Chan but talk about rip the soul out of a movie .. I still tear up when Daniel gets inside the car Mr Miyagi knows he was going to choose and finds the dogtags on the keys in the ignition .. Take me back ✌️

+bill bixby okay, if they use that tagline, it would be funny

***** If you listen to Midnight's Edge youtube channel, they explain the thought process behind this remake.

Well, I guess I answered my own question. They couldn't.

I know, right? Every line is gold and this is just meant to be exposition!

there is a video game Ghostbusters (2009) where it was written by Harold Ramis and Dan Akroyd, they bascily said its the 3rd Ghostbusters movie

Looking at the world i agree with Ivo.

No offense, but I gotta get my own lawyer!!

He's always a cop

I did like Ghostbusters Afterlife and it made sense why Egon did what he did... and left Ghostbusters and Gozer comes back in Ghostbusters Afterlife and it was a nice tribute to Harold Ramis and he will be missed Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2 were the best I really believed it was real and I would watch Ghostbusters on VHS and it was all the time.

Not just nods to Gozer. The Stay Puft destructor form IS Gozer. Granted, severely depowered in the game, but still... Gozer.

@@rcslyman8929 True, true.

GB has a perfect plot with the perfect amount of exposition ofcourse when I was a kid I had no fuckin idea about this shit had to see alot of terrible immitations to realize it

me to :)

+Igarappappa So do I.

+Igarappappa That's what you call great blocking by the director.

+Cinefreek Productions i've just noticed how do they have blue prints they were arrested outside their H.Q and would they be allowed them anyway. .ps awesome movie

My sister and I were discussing this over the weekend. It's human nature to get caught up in this sort of discussion. It's human nature to address any and all threats. That what we appreciate about this ... and I agree XD... it's classic comedy!

True, but I bet Shandor didn't bet on getting ripped apart in two...😊

Bingo. Phoebe Spengler said the New York high rise was built from material found in the mines in the city Ivo founded. If New York washed out, then Ivo had Summerville as backup. Also begs the question what would have happened if Gozer won the battle of 84, poor Ivo was still dead in Oklahoma and would have missed it lol

@@Madbandit77 Ivo shouldn't have been screwing around with an Interdimensional God. Gozer clearly doesn't value any other forms of life. No matter how helpful.

@@KHayes666 Another thing..... anyone else think Afterlife retconned the Video game? If the Busters had already fought Shandor in the 90's, how do we explain his preserved corpse in Summerville?

@@RM2011ish Afterlife is a direct sequel to the first movie. Ghostbusters 2, 3 and 2016 aren't mentioned at all

i like that part too

😂

It warms my heart that Metallurgy was mentioned in this movie :)

An exposition scene done well.

Yup.

It's actually Al Powell. When he got transferred to the LAPD, he helped save John McClain.

Yes William Atherton and Reginald VelJohnson

rhino3784 then went undercover to kill Steve Urkel

Horry sheet

Santa Claus is coming to town

🤣 he got some of the best lines

"I gave seen shit that'll turn you white"

He tried but no one believed Egon

Typical New York date for the 1980s.

@RoboPotato that was just a back story I don't thihk he's defeated in the unit I think his men are there.

***** then settled down with his family in chicago.. Family is all that matters after all

***** "turn my car into Swiss cheese"!!!

+Grant Menmuir Sergeant Al Powell just never gets a frigging break.

Can't catch a damn break. Even when he's home, he's constantly tortured by a smart, but clumsy neighbor.

And drove his patrol car like Steve Wonder.

You hit the nail right on the head. A lot of innuendo & adult content.

The cartoon had some pretty heavy themes as well.

I mean, the scene where Ray gets a ghost Blow Job...

The PG rating back then was not a family rating. This movie would have been (or maybe not?) PG-13 if it was released a little later than it did. But then again PG movies still had F-bombs ocassionally and language, as shown by the green band PG trailer of "Code of Silence" (rated R) which had the F-bomb from a scene unedited. And that movie was in 1985, when the PG-13 rating was around. The PG rating didn't become a family rating until 1995. PG movies had many things that would be PG-13. But some movies pushed the boundaries and were almost R-rated. "Escape from Alcatraz" has a scene where fingers are cut off. That should have been R. But it was PG.

He was very popular back then lol

Man has seen some shit in his day. No wonder later on the only thing that ever got under his skin was Urkel.

Eser Alt the intro to the alternate universe movie gave me the same feeling. Then people started talking and the entire mood was lost to terrible writing and deliberately forced cringe.

He shot a kid, hey how would you know?

And then Carl moved on to star in one of the greatest sitcoms of all time... Family Matters.

i was 14, and loved it!

I don't think it was something that would have pissed off the other prisoners. I think it just made them curious, and Egon just milked the momentary popularity like, 'Yes, people are listening to ME.' I could be wrong, but that's what I think.

***** You may be right. I was angling for the prisoners being an example of the "sickness of society". So I was guessing the prisoners were like, "Hey, I think he's talking specifically about *us*!"

+Agent1W I don't think the prisoners were smart enough to follow that kind of logic.

It was because of the First World War that Shandor concluded humanity was beyond saving. World War I ended in 1918, and Shandor founded the Gozer cult in 1920.

tRump and his goons tried to take over the world but failed

​@montgomeryscott5657 humanity is definitely beyond saving.

@Surfer041 at least tRump lost the election

Did the people laugh?

@@ectoerror8527 no they looked at me like I was insane

He actually was, singing it in a sarcastic manner! "So be good, for goodness sake, Whaoooa, somebody's comin'!"

"No Study" no go read ur Tobin Spirit Guide lol

🤦🏼‍♀️

Think about it: Egon is also a doctor. He also attempted to perform unnecessary surgery. With a little nudge, Egon could have gone in very much the wrong direction...

he did a have a very creepy smile lol

Probably because deep down he respects all manner of scientific evolution, even if it was kind of for the wrong reason.

Egon probably could have ended up like Ivo Shandor. Egon is _also_ a doctor, and he _also_ tried to perform some unnecessary surgery. Remember the time he tried to drill a hole in his head? But Egon turned to the side of good, and Ivo Shandor to despair.

@@vaylonkenadell that've worked If you didn't stop me...

Yeah and he was the main villain in the game.

Rohan Padiyar and I believe after the game, he should’ve been the primary antagonist of the whole Ghostbusters franchise. They’ve mentioned his name several times.

@@kirawedderburn That wouldn't make sense. They'd destroyed his supreme destructor form and dissipated his spiritual energy to a twilight state. He was done. Then we move onto more entities and different cases.
