Perfect way to respect the character of Egon and Harold Ramis at the same time. Bravo to the opening of this film.

The end made me cry, what a beautiful homage to Mr. Ramis

That last part, when the PKE meter lights up and blinks heavily because it detects the immediate presence of a paranormal entity...and that's how you know Egon was dead….but not really gone. 😢💔💔💔

He went out like a true ghostbuster

This was a fantastic opening. I know it's an unpopular opinion, but having Egon be present without seeing his face is (to me) so much more impactful than the CGI Egon at the end of the movie.

This opening is so well done! I was on the edge of my seat in the theater. I knew right away that it was Egon. Amazing opening!!!! The end of the movie with Egon’s ghost got me so choked up. I was so glad they didn’t have him speak, having him just there and kind of grinning at the other ghostbusters was perfect. Great way to honor the character and Harold Ramis.

Just when this scene couldn't get any more emotionally devastating...Ivan Rietman (who doubled for Ramis) passed away today

Going back and rewatching the 1984 original where Janie predicted that she's afraid Egon is going to die, just hits so much harder after this scene.

for anyone who wants a breakdown of this: Egon Spengler captured Vinz Clortho in a Trap and sped out of the Shandor Mining Company in a company truck. He crashed through a locked chain link fence, drove through Summerville, and out to the Farmhouse. On the road to the Farmhouse, Zuul attacked the truck while invisible. The truck flipped several times into a barley field and came to a stop upside down. Egon hobbled out of the field with the Trap and made it to the Farmhouse. He threw a lever on a column upwards on the porch and three capacitors nearby surged on. Zuul, still invisible, stepped out of the field. Egon held out the Trap. The creature took several steps forward. Egon stepped on a trap pedal but the capacitors died out. He tried again several times but nothing happened. He ran into the house and dug a P.K.E. Meter out of a drawer. It detected the creature and he heard it prowling around. The lights flickered off. Egon hid the Trap in a secret space and sat down on an armchair. He tapped his foot. An ominous smoke billowed into the room behind him. A vague Terror Dog form manifested in the smoke right behind him. He pressed a button and the P.K.E. Meter arms rose up into a taser setting. Several arm manifestations burst out of the chair and grabbed Egon. Zuul yowled and shot out of the house in the form of a pink P.K.E. wisp. Egon passed away and his body sat lifeless on the armchair. The P.K.E. Meter, now under the chair, registered a reading. It was concluded Egon died of a heart attack.

I love how the evil ghost fled the scene and the ghost detector went off indicating that it was Egon just chillin out in the house Genius movie

God I was so worried they would mess this movie up, but this movie was surprisingly incredible

Egon holding the trap up like: I got your boyfriend come and get him

I hear many people sometimes say “How did Egon die” well from my understanding he just died of a heart attack. In an interview with the people who was involved with the move Egons death was more violent. But the scenes were deleted due to them thinking it was too violent. You feel bad for him here. The sweet socially awkward but a hero and a good friend we see jn Gb1, Gb2, and Gb TVG is now what we see “Alone” The town wants nothing to do with him and they prob knew the events that happened back in New York but chose to ignore him and the past. You can tell that he has not gotten any sleep and is beyond stressed and knows that he only had 1 shot at this plan At the end of the film you can tell he truly loves and misses his friends and family just wanting to keep them and the world safe and to live on and see another day and not let evil win. Love the movie!❤ R.I.P Egon Spengler My Fav Ghostbuster R.I.P Harold Ramis My Fav Actor and Director You Still Are And Always Will Be Incredibly Missed!❤

I knew that man was Egon. But, his death was just sad. Even when the ghost detector thing was saying his spirit was present.

Wow. One of the best movies I've seen since 1984. A perfectly written love letter to the original franchise. It hit every note. I laughed, I cried, jumpscares, the lot. I only wished it was longer. Just Incredible.

I would like to think that egon’s last words in his head were “not today” before activation the p.k.e tazor , and this scene in itself really does show that he wasn’t afraid of no ghost. rest in the afterlife harold Egon truly was one the greatest of all Ghostbusters 🙏

No one will forget Egon Spengler....thank you Harold Ramis RIP

It's very very rare for a sequel or remake to be this good I actually bought it and have watched it more than once.

After watching the entire movie, this first scene makes total sense.

Nothing can compare witnessing this on an IMAX screen.

He would've been proud

What hurts more to me is Ray didn't believe in Eggy when they spent all those years working together and were like brothers...so much for WE ARE READY TO BELIEVE YOU...this one actually made me cry...RIP Harold.

This is for Harold Ramis and Ivan Reitman. Jason, if you see this post of mine. This deserves a sequel.

So either Egon shocked himself to prevent being possessed and the shock stopped his heart or he committed suicide to avoid possession.

1:31 "My name is Egon. I run from the dead. Once I was a Ghostbuster. A Ghostbuster who trapped ghosts and saved NYC and the world twice from evil supernatural forces. Here they come again. I tell myself... I must stop them again."

I really miss Harold Ramis it would’ve been awesome if he was still alive

I'm not going to lie when I went to see this movie and the first two seconds of hearing the music and then you see the proton pack shoot out of the mountain I was like this is going to be something crazy this is going to be really dark. And boy it did not disappoint.did it have flaws yes but man.........great.

It’s great to finally have a 3rd true ghostbusters film. It ticks all the boxes, great writing, practical and visual effects mixed together, The original cast members and a great send off to Harold Ramis/Egon. I actually had goosebumps watching this for the first time.

Harold Ramis was & is still the godfather of the Ghostbusters 100%

The very reason this movie is called Ghostbusters Afterlife instead of GBIII

This movie was amazing.

This movie made me cry, knowing this was the last time the ghostbusters would be complete.

I saw a movie today and I cried like baby in the end...damn! Great movie! 👏👏

Good man, he went out swinging to the very end.

When the scanner goes off at 4:45, is that supposed to be the scanner reading Egon's ghost?

One of my favorite and best openings to a movie

Gone but not forgotten

the biggest apology ever to the 2016 ghostbusters

Thanks for posting this! I just walked into the theater when this scene ended!

Such a great opening but sad because Egon dies

Egon knew gozer would return

this is the ghostbusters i want after last two (and ghostbusters game..seriously better than 2016 definitely)..wish its longer tho..still,it exceeds my expectation and more.

Rest in peace Egon

We'll miss you, Egon

It’s really ironic when you stop to think about it. Ego fought ghosts in his youth now he is one.

This opening made me sad because Egon Spengler my favorite ghostbuster!😢😢😭😭

I love this movie so much and hope that we get a sequel.

Ray would never have disbelieved Egon. 😪

Ghostbusters Afterlife = Classic.

I still don’t understand exactly how Egon died, why this was a sentinel terror dog on two legs, and where these beasts go later

Rest In Peace Egon Spengler My Dav Ghostbuster❤ Rest In Peace Harold Ramos You Still Are And Always Will Be Incredibly Missed!❤🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

Great scene!

Egon but NEVER FORGOTTEN

if you watch at the end of afterlife when his soul turns to stardust and rises to the sky, you see the logo ghost formed from it symbolizing his spirit is free

I'm still trying to figure it out though... Did the handheld proton stream built within the PKE meter kill him or did the actual dog/spirit kill him? And if it was the proton stream, did he essentially commit suicide? I know they said he had a heart attack, but if that's the case did he die from fear? The proton stream? The dog? What exactly?

It's funny how they call him Dirt Farmer because he has a farm that grows nothing but dirt!

AMAZING MOVIE! LOVED IT❤❤❤❤❤

A true 3rd movie 🎬 dark, emotional , jump scares.

It is so sad this was invisible and nobody talked about this movie because I believe is one of very few cases were they did it great

I think about how scared Egon was at that moment. He probably knew he was going to die anyway.

the beginning always shocking me - but i love that movie

0:10 The instant I heard Elmer Bernstein's original soundtrack, I knew it was going to be a great movie!

This ONE movie was BETTER than the Disney Star Wars Trilogy.

Loved The Movie❤❤❤❤❤

"I collect spores, molds and fungus"

I was today years old when I realized the PKE Meter had a taser mode and Egon committed seppuku basically, before Zuul could get him

The body double for Egon (not sure if it's Ivan Reitman in this specific scene) did such a good job! He seriously looks like an older Harold Ramis especially during the shots at 1:35, 2:34, 2:58, 3:20, and 4:14.

This scene was so sad 😭😭

It’s amazing how *spiritually* Harold Ramis acted in this movie… 🥲

This >>>>>>ghostbusters 2016

This is how you respect a character from an old series and don't make a jake skywalker

'It's the Ghostlight!'

this is a true sequel to ghostbusters, not like the worst ghostbusters 2016 reboot, this is the third movie that Ramis has been planning since 2009, and it is posthumously dedicated to him. the theme song sounds very similar to old ghostbusters composer, elmer bernstein, and I hear that the sounds of this movie sound the same as in the 80's.

Good job

Does anyone else wish they put the Ghostbusters theme at the beginning the title showed up like they did with the other ones?

Rest in peace harold ramis :(

Egon: you want it? Come and get it!

I like to think they still would've done this even if Harold Ramis didn't pass away before filming. "I get to be a ghost in this one? Awesome!"

I was a puddle at the end, I tell ya.

I know a glob of people didn’t like this movie since it didn’t “feel” the same way the originals did, but if we’re being honest, none of the originals felt the exact same, the first felt og and spooky, the second felt newer and fresh, and this movie felt spooky and new, so I guess they all have a similarity, but are all their own masterpieces

Is that really Egon (Harold Ramis) in the beginning of the movie? 🤔

He need his team.

In 2:19 it's probably the same house from Men In Black??

2:17 is he limping or trying to avoid stepping on the traps?

The CinemaCon Release It Uses The 2014 Version From Sony Corporation But The Normal Sound Ding From Sony Is Replaced By Another Sound Ding From The First Track Ghostbusters Afterlife OST Entitled Trapped Which Was Composed By Rob Simonsen However The Final Release Of The Said To The Title Film Is Used The 2021 And The Current Version Of Sony Corporation Logo Alongside With The Normal Version Ding Sound From Sony

What exactly was he doing when he was just chilling in the chair before he died

That explains why he cares about his daughter and his Buddies and never give call them.

I wonder what Egon was thinking when he became a ghost

This movie shows how to pay respect to characters from the original, not like Disney Star Wars, which shat on the face of the fans, then insulted them when they didn't agree with Kennedy's AgEnDa. Ghostbusters Afterlife is an apology for the man hating nonsense of the 2016 one and a love letter to fans of the original. Not perfect, but a solid 8/10

Rest in piece Harold

Loganberry 😢❤

Must see

Mi dispiace tanto per Egon (Igor) era il mio acchiappa fantasma preferito

4:29-4:32 I take it that’s Egon’s ghost

I sometimes hear people say "How did Egon die exactly?" well for me is that he captured "Vinz Clortho" in the "Shandor Mines" and was ready to book it but not without another terror dog on his tail, The terror dog wanted to stop Egon from hiding the trap that contains "Vince Clortho" when Egons truck flips and makes it to the farm house and the fuels went out he came up with a plan to hide the trap. The terror dogs main goal now was to posses Egon and find the trap. When Egons is sitting in the chair he either is making a one last attempt to shock the P.K.E that forms the terror dog or is getting ready to sacrifice his own in order for the terror dog to not take hold of him. He probably knew that it was still near by but the hands came out and grabbed him. Due to the crash and his age he had an instant heart attack from shock and his injuries and the terror dog might have went to violent accidently killing him. You feel bad for him here The smart, nice, socially awkward, but a hero and a good friend we see in 1, 2, and in the videogame is now by what we can see by this scene "Alone" You can tell he has not had any sleep, he has been preparing for this moment for a long time and knows that he only has 1 shot at this but can’t put to much pressure due to his age The town probably knew the events in New York and praised him and knows he can do it but at the same time looked at him as a crazy old man when it came to the end of the world. i have a feeling if that the trap did in fact work and he survived, he would focus more on his family and get to love and know them because you can tell that this is the BIG Finale for him and was preparing for decades R.I.P Egon Spengler My Favorite Ghostbuster!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ R.I.P Harold Ramis You Still Are And Always Will Be Incredibly Missed!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Have An Amazing Day Everyone/Everybody!!!!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

❤❤❤❤

Watching this now with the new movie coming out makes me ponder if the icy cold was a prelude to the next film?

❤

The next one should be adapted from Stephen King's The Dark Tower. Where there's a really tall tower that serves as the linchpin between the living and the dead.
