and THIS, boys and girls, is how you make a REAL Ghostbusters movie.

Who DIDN'T want to be a Ghostbuster after watching this scene!?!

The military, the clergy holding "repent" signs, police escorting the Ghostbusters; the cinematography and music is everything!

this, ladies and gentlemen, is what GHOSTBUSTERS is all about!

This scene gets you pumped. Real emotion

30 years and still gives goosebumps 😬

C'MON, LET'S RUN SOME RED LIGHTS!

Mayor: What do you need from me? *Savin' the Day kicks in* GOOSEBUMPS CITY.

One of the most emotional and greatest scenes in movie history. With the support of the citizens of New York, the Ghostbusters prepare to go to war with the most deadly enemy they have ever faced in an effort to stop the extinction of humanity and the world.

The 80's had THE best movies... period!

The whole city at this point is on the Ghostbusters' side and actively cheers them on when the supernatural starts to invade our world. THAT is my favorite part of this whole thing! You the viewer like the Ghostbusters and so does the city!

I LOVE THIS SCENE SO MUCH!! 44 YEARS OF AGE AND STILL LOVE GHOSTBUSTERS SO MUCH!!

RIP Harold Ramis.

36 years of age and this still gets me excited. Takes me back to simple times

This scene alone is better than the entire remakes. The Ghostbusters being escorted by NYPD and the US Military because no one else can stop the ghosts but them. Absolutely bad ass.

What I love about these characters is that they almost knew that they weren't heroes just winging it but they were the only ones with any clue about what they were facing and the stones to go in and have a go so they almost played it as a parody of heroes but walked that line so perfectly so they were not completely goofy and relatable but real and the new yorkers were just panicked and searching for heroes so they fed into that narrative

and this kids is the best film ever made

Gotta love ole Ecto as hes being escorted by those cops at 1:10. BRILLIANT piece of cinemaphotograhy from one of the GREATEST movies EVER. Love Venkmans acknowledgement for Ray also. "Dr. Ray Stanz, the heart of the Ghostbusters. Would ya please?" Rays all modest and kinda shy about the crowd. Great movie from probably the best decade for films.

I love the courage and enthusiasm in this scene.

Bill Murray's delivery of lines really sells the sequence

This scene alone destroys the reboot....the army cant save the world but the GB can

1:00 Man the wide shot of the Ghostbusters arriving is EPIC.

Come on, let's run some red lights! LOL

As everyone else has said hundreds of times before, this scene is one of the greatest scenes if not the greatest scene in the entire movie. The crowd cheering, the sirens and police escort, the funny line from Peter at the beginning, the epic music, it all adds up to the perfect “the heroes are here” scene. Not every hero needs special powers or a cape, sometimes all it takes is 2 serious scientists, a scientist who acts more like a game show host and a guy who wants a steady paycheck all equipped with unlicensed nuclear accelerators.

I work for a professional snow company. I play this song sometimes while in the truck. When a big storm hits, I AM saving the day

This scene got me so pumped wen i ws a kid and it still does

I miss the 80s so much!

I spent this Father's day with my three year old watching Ghostbusters all day long. He's been running around the house with a flashlight Bustin ghosts. I couldn't be any more proud

This was one of my most memorable and favourite scenes from the REAL Ghosbusters film. No CGI and a practical realistic earthquake effect. This movie truly is one of the best masterpieces out there and the reboot is more pathetic than the sequel to this amazing movie.

I won't acknowledge the existence of Ghostbusters 2016 I'll just think the very mention of it was from a weird dream I had.

R.I.P. Harold Ramis. My childhood's hero!

This song is what made this scene so freakin epic, awesome, and nostalgic, I never get tired of hearing or watching it

Who is here after seeing the Ghostbusters Afterlife trailer?

i was 6 years old when i seen this in the cinema still remember going to see it clear as day... im 41 now and its still fucking class.

Can't help but almost tear up at the scene, it's soooooooooooo good. :) The music helps definitely.

New York in the 80s was like the walking dead

1:20 I don't know if it was intentional but I've always fucking LOVED, ever since I was a child, how ECTO-1 screeches at the EXACT same time that the brass section plays that last note! SO COOL! Sorry but even 25 years on (from when I was a child) this scene HAS to be one of the most epic scenes in movie history!

you know you're cool when you have priests, nuns (and what looks like) Rabbis cheering you on.

I had the film's soundtrack on tape (remember those!) and, for me, Saving the Day by Alessi was the song that made this film even more epic. The way it seamlessly blends in with this scene is pure poetry in motion.

Always loved this scene the most

""No matter what happens let's be professionals!!""

I can never get enough of watching Ecto-1 being escorted by the NYPD and National Guard.

Epic scenes like this from an all around epic film is a testament to why the reboot failed. You don't remake a film and try to ride the coat tails of its predecessor, then further try and tell the fans that the characters in your remake are now the new Ghostbusters and to pretend like these guys never existed, and then insult them when your movie flops. Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore will always be recognized by everyone as being the true Ghostbusters, that's just the way it is. And during Halloween season such as now when radio stations play the Ghostbuster's theme song and it asks "who ya gonna call?" It refers to and always will refer to these Ghostbusters.

Love this scene start when the mayor say "what do yoou need from me". Love this movie so much, also the second one

I remember as a kid, when I saw the black smoke coming out of the top of the building, I asked my mum "are the Ghostbusters going to be ok". The answer ofcourse was a resounding YES.

The over-excited ginger guy "Ghostbusters! Alright... Alright!" looks like he should be in Spandau Ballet.

I was born in the middle of the 80's ( 1985) The best Hollywood movie decade it ever was, the 80's gave ous such great movies as the terminator, Alien, back to the future, home alone, lethal weapon, ghostbusters and many many more!!! Love them all!!?

GOTTA RUN....GOTTA DATE WITH THE GHOST!!!!! ghostbuster 4 EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shivers. Still. A work of art.

Man man I get hype "let's run some red lights"

Ghostbusters 2020 brought me here!!!

ghostbusters 2009 video game should have been the ghostbusters we should have gotten for 2016

As a child this movie defined New York City for my young mind....and Escape From New York

the most badass scene in film history

Mayor: What do you need from me? *US Military Arrives* Fortunate Son + Ghostbusters

I get goosebumps every time I see this scene. Ecto1 FTW

I love the siren of the Ecto

COMMON LETS RUN SOME RED LIGHTS!!!

Real cinematic storytelling. Classic.

This song has been stuck in my head all day... just came up in recommended videos... well played, KZfaq...

2:35 "We might have to put a little overtime in on this one!"

They build the whole front of that building for when the ground swallows them. It's so good you can't tell the difference. ...Sorry I'm a huge GB nerd and I listened to the commentary on the DVD.

I love the high rise spewing black flames side ways , awesome

The Music back then was just Legendary and Awesome!!!!

I miss these kind of movies :'(

I am here after the Ghostbustets Afterlife trailer

I was 10 when I saw this movie in '84, and I still love it.

This scene tho

I love that song "Savin' the Day". It goes well with this scene, and the whole film.

i love this scene as well. you had all of new york city rooting for the ghostbusters. punks, break-dancers, priests, pastors, rabbis, clerics, cab drivers, policemen, military, firemen, anyone who loves new york city. we need that more than ever.

cant believe this scene still gives me chills to this day.

@.36, that scene right there with the dark clouds building up and the music playing in the background. You know something bad is about to happen.

When Peter says "hello New York" it's almost in time to the music

I always loved this scene, "Come aaaaan lets run some red lights!" *bangs the door* Engines on the convoy all start up and rev as they begin to move out, the sirens start......and above them all you CANNOT miss Ecto 1's distinctive whining ensemble above the rest! :D

1:42 scene stealer. GHOSTBUSTERS, ALRIGHT

How to naturally switch from happy to ominous to happy in one scene.

And then they had to climb 22 flights of stairs...Saving the day is hard work when the elevator is out :P

100% awesome the true and only gb1 and gb2.. Rip harold we love you!

Man I could watch that few seconds when the chorus comes on and you can see the police cars and Ecto 1 coming down that street over and over and over again, gives me chills.

Over-acting redhead extra in this scene is hilarious :) 0:50 and 1:41

As epic as this entire scene, nothing beats the scene immediately after this - when the Ghostbusters are trudging up the stairs of the apartment building complaining and wheezing. The comedic timimg was absolutely perfect.

When I was a kid I must have rewinded this scene oh a bazillion times

I'll always love the droves of New Yorkers cheering for the Ghostbusters as they arrive on the scene.

I like how they got a police escort

I like this version better than the sountrack version. The hard sounds sounded harder. It was probably my favorite GB song. You get the feeling of danger from the scene, too.

Lol I'll always remember "OMG guy" 0.49 and how he jumps and claps

As a kid I would always re-enact this scene

this never gets old

The pure class of 80's movies

Something bout them old halogen lights, and mechanical siren you gotta love.

now this is how you save the day in ghostbusters

Such a happy movie. Can really feel everyone enjoy acting in it, even the extras are having a good time. :)

If there's going to be a Ghostbusters 3, they MUST have a scene like this, complete with the NYPD and the National Guard.

I don't know why but this was my favorite part of the movie

The best scene of the movie!!I loved this moment!

This is definitely the best scene in one of the more brilliant films ever done.

Always gives me goosebumps everytime they start driving and when the crowd are shouting 'Ghostbusters'

To me this was the best scene out the movie being lead to the battle by the army like heros and the part when you see them in the distance going to the Apartment building and you hear savin the day.So damn cool

Bill Murray had an unbelievable way of totally commanding scenes like this. Fantastic stuff...

Who’s here trying to get some 80s New York vibe after the Afterlife trailer?!! 👻👻
