"Carl Winslow", was a cop in New York in 1984 (Ghostbusters). Sometime after, moved to Los Angeles and continued as a cop until the Nakatomi Plaza incident of 1988 (Die Hard). Realizing that he'd prefer handling crimes on a smaller scale, moved to Chicago in 1989 (Family Matters). That's my head canon for the same actor appearing in a similar role, in 3 separate projects :D

“What the hell are you doing?!?” was not scripted or ad libbed by the actress, who played the cleaning lady. It was an honest question directed at Ivan Reitman who told her to duck behind the cart, and they would set off a couple of sparks, but they legitimately blew up the cart with her right next to it.

My favourite trivia about Ghostbusters is how the song came to be and the legal aftermath. They wanted Huey Lewis to do it, but he was either unavailable or just didnt want to do it. So they hire Ray Parker Jr. to effectively write a Huey Lewis style song. Which is what he did. In fact it sounds so much like Huey Lewis that Huey sued Ray for copyright infringement (listen to the Huey Lewis & The News song I Want A New Drug; the Ghostbusters song is barely anything more than a remix of that with new lyrics). So since it was an open and shut case, they settled and Ray had to pay an "undisclosed amount of money". Now here's the fun part: Part of the settlement was a non-disclosure clause, meaning neither of them could talk about the details of the settlement. But apparently Huey told the amount of money he got from it in an interview or something, leading Ray to sue Huey for violating the non-disclosure clause. The result of which was that Huey had to pay Ray more than Ray originally had to pay Huey.

True Bill Murray story. I went to the Pebble Beach AT&T Pro Am Golf tourney that he was playing in. He was on one of the greens, about 15 ft away from the hole. Before putting, he bet everyone, about 150-200 people, around the green $1 that he would make it. He told everyone to hold up their dollar, he made the putt, and then walked around and collected every last single one.

21:25 Between this, Real Genius in 1985, and Die Hard in 1988, William Atherton got a lot of hate and name calling from kids because he was seen as the "jerk" character in a number of films back then. Harold Ramis had an anecdote where he had lunch with Atherton not long after Ghostbusters was a hit and said “so isn’t it great that it’s becoming so popular?” Atherton replied “there was a whole bus of teenagers the other day and I heard one kid say ‘Hey, Peck!’ so I turned around and the entire bus yelled ‘DICKLESS!’” How funny is that? Sure it is no fun being called names, but one of the greatest compliments to an actor is believing that they really are the character they played.

This movie was incredibly popular when it came out. After opening weekend, just about everyone at school had seen it at least once. Songs played on the radio for months, and "Who You Gonna Call" even had a music video. For some time afterwards you could see people wearing Ghostbuster T-shirts. I was wearing mine in a restaurant one day and this little toddler pulled its head up over seat of the next booth looking around. It saw my shirt and let out a loud "Ghostbusters!" So even 2 year olds (or so) knew Ghostbusters.

YES!!! LOVE THIS MOVIE!! John Belushi was considered to play the role of Peter Venkman, but sadly passed away due to a drug overdose. The character, Slimer, is said to the ghost of John Belushi. Bill Murray was cast in the role. Jeff Goldblum was going to play Egon Spengler before screenwriter Harold Ramis was cast Eddie Murphy was going to play Winston Zeddemore,but turned it down as he was busy working on Beverly Hills Cop. It was a box office and critical success making $295 million dollars against a $30 million dollar budget. It was nominated for Best Visual Effects and Best Original Song, but lost to Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, and The Woman In Red. It's now considered to be one of the funniest movies ever made.

Eddie Murphy would not play the calm, collected version of Zedmore that we know and love. In 1984, he would have stolen the show from Bill Murray. Nothing would have been the same. I'm not saying it would have been bad per se, but it would have created a rift in reality and a new universe had been born.

@@JH-lo9utExactly. And there are bits in the original script, like Ray being super excited that Winston is black, because black people were supposedly more attuned to some kind of supernatural entity or other...I can't recall what the exact dialogue was, but it was typical Ghostbusters paranormal technobabble. That's a scene you could see Dan and Eddie doing together, with them riffing off each other, but the character fundamentally changed after Eddie dropped out, and I don't see that scene working with Ernie.

@@chs75 I got my masters in production design at the AFI in 2010. John DeCruir was amongst my many mentors (I can talk about many, many movies on a deep level). Also, being "deMille" in Hellywood opened doors. Add to that being a Mason and through my lifetime I've studied the occult deeply. That said, when I see this movie . . . . More people now know about Jack Parsons and JPL. But the natives in Pasadena warned not to damn the Devil's dike/Gate. It's a portal zone. Dan Ayrkoyd (another Mason), who is real-life is very steeped in supernatural lore, wrote this movie. He knows his stuff; Masonic Alisteir Crowley's Scarlet Woman is Dana Barrett. The temple has the Two Towers (Solomon's Temple). Gozer's portal is the Illuminated Pyramid (Pyre-mind). It's all right out of the rituals. Going deeper: Aykroyd wrote this script at Martha's Vineyard during the summer of 1983. At the same time, not far away, the infamous Montauk Project was going down, which is now popularized as "Stranger Things". Ayrkoyd basically got the particle-physics correct . . . the MIE (Military Industrial-Entertainment) Complex has been working with this stuff for a long time. Consider Jack Parsons and L Ron Hubbard using Crowley's "Babylon Working" ritual back in the day. It's all connected. Both Montauk AND Pasadena are portal zones. In Aykroyd's original sequel script from the '80s, there was/is a tunnel from Long Island to the Fairy Land in England . . . and it goes deeper from there. It's all about interdimensionality and Consciousness. Hellywood has known this for a century. I've been deeply involved with many projects. Hope you found this interesting. PS: Why would I tell this? Quite simple: My fiance worked for Disney and was sucked into the sex-cults and I want to see all of Hellywood exposed and brought to Balance.

He also was in Honey I shrunk the kids. Thats another movie youd probably have fun with now but still get a little spooked at points. I dont know if you noticed but you predicted the crop top line coming. You had mentioned gozer appearing in one and then moments later they made a statement to aim for the crop top.

Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd came from the early days of SNL (when it was actually edgy and groundbreaking), Harold Ramis was already an accomplished comedy writer and actor, Annie Potts, Ernie Hudson, Rick Moranis, were already accomplished comedic actors, and this was the movie where Sigourney Weaver showed us that she could do any role she wanted. The whole movie is a powerhouse of comedy, a product of the best American and Canadian talent, brilliant writing and directing. I bet even the guy who brought everyone coffee was funny. This is why Ghostbusters works, even today. As an aside, the first time I saw Ghostbusters, I was 16. I'm 53 now. And there are jokes in this movie that Ive only recently noticed. When things work on several levels and are so cleverly hidden, you know you have something great. As always, hi to the puppies.

A couple fun facts about the casting of this movie. They wrote Venkman for John Belushi and he was all signed up. Unfortunately, his untimely death ended that idea. But then we got Murray. They originally wanted to cast Daryl Hannah as Dana but she turned it down to do Splash. Sigourney Weaver came to the audition and blew them away with her dog imitations. They also wanted John Candy for Louis but he was actively filming 3 movies at the time and be couldn't fit it into his schedule. He was the one to recommend Rick Moranis as the two were good friends. John Candy made an appearance in the Ghostbusters music video. Lastly, the part of Winston was supposed to go to Eddie Murphy but he turned it down to do a little movie called Beverly Hills Cop. And we know what that did for him.

I heard Ernie Hudson tried to audition to be the voice actor for his cartoon character, and they told him “you don’t sound enough like the guy in the movie” 😂

So fun fact, Reginald Vel Johnson (Carl Winslow) was actually up for the role of Winston, but Ernie Hudson got the part instead. The role was written with Eddie Murphy in mind, but he was busy with Beverly Hills Cop.

You're right about Casey Kasem. Fun Fact: Did you know that Casey Kasem did voiceover acting? He voiced "Mark" from 'Battle Of The Planets" cartoon of the '70s & he voiced "Cliffjumper" from The Transformers G1 cartoon series of the '80s.

I ain't judging dude. I remember the first time I saw Ghostbusters, pretty sure I was in second grade, that first ghost they showed in the library scared me so much I got off the couch and ran out the room! Then the second time I tried watching it went a lot better. Fell in love the movie and it's been one of favorite movies of all time ever since.

If you hire people to get rid of ghosts and then later they run out of the building screaming - you follow them as fast as you can. The same rule applies to the bomb disposal squad.

The proton packs in the film weighed about 35lbs or roughly 16Kg. The actors, especially Murray hated wearing them. Although at certain points for stunts and action scenes, they used foam packs, so it wouldn't hurt when they fell over.

"She'da got me! "She looks like new money!" ALL OF THAT! Sigourney Weaver is ALWAYS BAE. AND GOALS. Even as the damsel in distress, she pretty much holds it together--doesn't lose her ish, and flail and scream, then break her high heel and twist her ankle while running. GOALS! After Alien, I'm pretty sure Ghostbusters casting people got her because they DIDN'T want that trope. They wanted a damsel who was beautiful AND strong. Dana was pretty level-headed even when she was scared. Except for going back to her apartment after the eggs and growling fridge. But then ... Manhattan penthouse ... it'd take more than a haunting for me to give that up if I was paying for it. ESPECIALLY if it was RENT CONTROLLED. Though, yeah, that second time when Zuul dragged her into the kitchen, I'd have been gone FOREVER. Wouldn't have even stayed to sublet that place (not trying to get someone else's family eaten either, lol). I'd have moved to Tasmania or something, and changed my name. But then, that second time Zuul appeared ... it was TOO LATE....! IT WAS IN THE KITCHEN AND THE CHAIR! 😀 I wonder what the noise was that scared you as kid--if it was the librarian screaming or the roar of the ghost that scared her. Also, can confirm: The NY Public Library, the main branch in Manhattan, is usually that busy. It's a beautiful, but INTIMIDATING place. The puppies were so over your reacting and reviewing. They napped through 95% of the movie 😆 I was a fan of the cartoon(s) as well. In the film, I don't think Slimer was a BAD guy, just a hungry, dead one. And he was eating food not people, so ... he's alright. Wouldn't want him running up MY grocery bill, but hey, we've all had the munchies and ate up food that wasn't ours. I can't be too mad. LOVED THIS

22:08 They're only gargoyles if they have a water spout as part of the drainage system of a building. They're often designed so rainwater pours out of their mouth. If it looks like a gargoyle but doesn't have a water spout it's a "grotesque".

The *proper* Ghostbusters series is; GB ‘84 (this film) GB2 Ghostbusters the game (Xbox 360/PS4) Ghostbusters Afterlife The 2016 reboot is generally panned not because it’s an all female recast, but because it relies too heavily on slapstick, pratfalls, shouting, and physical/toilet humor, and that’s not the Ghostbusters formula The game was considered the “unofficial” third movie, up until the release of Afterlife, and was actually written by Ackroyd and Ramis, and used some plot lines they had in the original ‘84 movie draft scripts kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7ljhNWcy527j5s.html Afterlife is a true love letter to the fans, and especially for those of us who saw the original in theaters and grew up with the franchise, if you don’t shed a tear at the end (no spoilers) you’re probably not human.

"Why are we outside, watching? I would be gone." What is really scary is that had that been real, people would still gather like that. And this was before tik tok, today people would stand at a litteral hellmouth, snapping selfies as the zombies eat them.
