Harold Ramis (Egon) isn't talked about nearly enough considering he's had a hand in the creation of classics like Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, Stripes, Ghostbusters, and some of the National Lampoon movies to name a few, as either a writer, actor and/or director. He's sorely missed. The three main Ghostbusters actors are basically the who's who behind 80s and 90s comedy movies, but in this they all came together in front of the camera as well.

Peter's the charismatic guy who's tagging along for self-enrichment and maybe some prestige, Ray's the enthusiastic hobbyist who does it for the love of it all, Egon is the scientist for science and good (sort of a science paladin imo), and Winston is there because he needed money to live.

William Atherton played jerks to perfection. Die Hard and Real Genius are some of the other great showcases of his snotty jerk persona.

[@elcorado83]

Poor Bill (as he prefers to be known)-he genuinely has said playing dirtbags has ruined his life cos people in the street always treat him like the characters he played. He said, genuinely, it has really hurt him. Before this he was a rising star in serious films like "'Day of The Locust" which is a satire on Hollywood celebrity. But he played this role too well in Ghostbusters and people forever after saw him in this role-then he did it again in Die Hard!

[@jacob4920]

@@elcorado83 I thought the Die Hard franchise did a more thorough job of ruining him, to be honest. His character in the first two movies was such a jerkoff that I honestly found myself hoping he would somehow die in "Die Hard 2." That being said, people treating him like he was actually the characters he played is an immature thing to do. I feel for him. And I'm glad he came back as Walter Peck in the fourth film. I hope they made it worth his while.

Mini games, trivia, interactive menus, and a commentary with the actors sitting in front of the movie Mystery Science Theater style. These features were rarely found during the initial launch of the DVD format.

Dan Aykroyd's father wrote a book called History of Ghosts. His mother claimed that she has seen ghosts. In 1981, Dan read an article on Quantum Physics and Parapsychology in American Society for Psychical Research. With his parents' interests plus science of trapping ghosts gave him the idea for Ghostbusters. Dan and longtime buddy, fellow SNL, John Belushi were starred in this movie, but John's death in 1982 changed those plans. Part of the plan was Eddie Murphy too, but Eddie didn't do it. Dan wrote the original script. Original script was darker. Another SNL member, Bill Murray agreed to be in the movie. Bill, Dan, and Ivan met Harold Ramis to talk about this movie. They re-worked the script. Then there a problem with the main title, Ghostbusters. There was children's TV show called The Ghost Busters owned by Universal while movie is owned by Columbia. Executive for Columbia left for Universal sold the title for $500,000 and 1% of the profits for Universal as title sold to Columbia stating Universal made money on Ghostbusters too.

This is a pure comfort movie, it really has re-watchability.

[@anamewhichisnottaken]

Harold Ramis (Egon) wrote Caddyshack and countless other comedy classics. He is a legend! RIP

[@thatoneblackarmy372]

I grew up with this movie, it’s just so iconic 🥺😭😭like I was obsessed with this movie when I was younger.

[@radicaladz]

Apparently Egon was the one who has the PKE meter most of the time because the prop itself was very makeshift and finicky and Harold Ramis was the one member of the team who was able to make it work and react convincingly onset.

[@insanitypepper1740]

i saw this in theaters when I was 10 and missed most of the adult humor but still adored this film. I remember doing a Ghostbusters skit in school that year.

[@newatlantisrepublic6844]

23:05 Notice Egon giving the hand signals for the price

[@BattleAngelFan99]

I saw this movie at the theater and a whole bunch of times since then and only in the last couple years have I noticed that.

[@bidwell13]

When I saw this in theaters with my friends they thought I was laughing at Peter talking to the manager and didn’t understand what was so funny. I told them we had to stay for the next showing and told them to watch Egon and they both cracked up laughing when they saw him.

[@davidheilman1928]

I finally noticed the Stay-puft marshmallows on the counter next to the jumping eggs.

[@imajinallthepurple]

Fun fact: In the cartoon show the green "blob" became an extremely valuable member of the team. His name was Slimer, and he was a very beloved character, just as often their saviour as the cause of their greatest problems. 😂

[@mikecee1381]

One of my favorite childhood movies in the 80’s. I remember when this movie came out and I was at a Mets game at Shea Stadium with my Dad and Bill Murray was there talking to fans. My Dad and I came over to say hello and he was the nicest guy, making jokes and talking about the game.

[@shainewhite2781]

It was nominated for Best Visual Effects but lost to Indiana Jones The Temple Of Doom. Originally, the Ghostbusters was supposed to take place 200 years into the future where they were dressed up like SWAT officers and used wands to capture the ghosts instead of the proton packs we see in the final cut of the movie. They not only fought ghosts, but fought off space aliens as well, and even traveled through other dimensions and fought off demonic god-like entities. Paul Reubens, David Bowie, and Grace Jones were considered for the role of Gozer, as he was going to appear as Ivo Shandor, the architect who worshipped him, but it was then decided to make the character androgynous. Also, when Shandor walks down the glass stairwell, they melt under his shoes, but would repair themselves. Eddie Murphy was going to play the role of Winston Zeddemore, turned it down as he was too busy working on the action comedy Beverly Hills Cop. Jeff Goldblum, John Lithgow, and Christopher Lloyd were considered for Egon Spengler, but they were too busy working on Sci Fi Action Comedy Buckaroo Banzai: Across The Eighth Dimension. John Candy was going to play Louis Tulley, the neighbor who has a crush on Dana. John Belushi, before his passing in 1982 from a cocaine overdose, was going to play the role of Peter Venkman.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

It’s so interesting hearing about the drafts of the scrip and what could’ve been! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️

[@darthken815]

​@@OfficialMediaKnights Sad/fun fact: Slimer, the hotel ghost is based on Belushi's character from Animal House.

[@jldog134]

Pee Wee Herman as Gozer that would've been fun.

[@wratched]

The producers read the original script and told them it would cost $200 million. That's 1984. Today it would be $600 millon. So Rings of Power.

[@Daveyboy100880]

Ernie Hudson was cast as Winston when the character was still the version that was written for Eddie Murphy. He was supposed to be a vastly over-qualified character, former military man etc etc, and had a big role in the movie. By the time it came to film it, the character had been reduced to an average guy with no special skills who just takes the job because there’s a steady pay check in it! Hudson was not best pleased, but he still did a great job and the change in his character helped ground the story in reality.

[@dmyz5343]

i am so excited you get to enjoy this iconic classic. nothing like the giant stay puffed marshmello man. This is the movie where i fell in love with not only Bill Murry, Dan Akroyd, but also Sigourny Weaver. RIP Ramis. Thank you so much for the reaction and can't wait for the next. keep on rocking and if you have a ghost don't forget to call the ghostbusters! 👻👻👻

[@user-yf3oz3rn5b]

Sigourney is one of the few people who looks good with an 80s perm.

[@curtisdyoung3350]

I’m finding myself so entertained whenever Denise goes “Nooooooooo!!!!” Super reaction to this iconic movie! I saw it in the theater when it first came out and although its popularity was obvious, who knew that it would still be this recognizable 40 years later.

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

What I love about this movie is how it was a comedy, a horror film and an action film all at once. I wish more movies could be this creative and ambitious nowadays.

[@patrickobrien3342]

One of my favourite stories from behind the scenes is Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray going for smokes at the store in the Ecto 1 😂

[@cinefreak8877]

Bill Murray is a legend… Nuff said.

[@nortski78]

Still my all time favourite movie. The Dana Barrett abduction scene still gives me goose bumps. Also; can we take a moment to appreciate Sigourney's scream when she slams the refrigerator shut!

[@michaeltimmins4508]

For me, next to Army of Darkness and Princess Bride, is one of the most quotable movies. Still quote it till today

[@Saiman9000]

"Inconceivable!"

[@DariaBilowus]

I love that you guys have not seen this movie. The joy of watching reactions is the first time viewer of classics. In the 70's and 80's we were at the theatre almost every Saturday. I was an amazing time to be young-ish.

[@carmenmonroe7]

Indeed, it was so much fun to not have to pay such expensive prices to see amazing cinema with very little disappointments in the finished movies. Oh my, how we fallen from such amazing entertainment to what is being produced today.

[@SummerSolstice621]

“Douche-canoe” has been added to my insult repertoire. 😂😂 Thanks Denise! 😂❤️

[@chrischar9428]

Been using for years

[@spencershaw4419]

My brother and I dressed as Ghostbusters for Halloween back in the day. We had the action figures and firehouse with the platform that spun around the fire pole from top to bottom. Ghostbusters has been engrained into us 80’s/90’s kids

[@TreyHill252]

Wow the humor in this movie is 100% Spot On. Awesome movie like literally worth millions of laughs.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Oh so spot on, we had so so much fun!

[@Mr.Freeze420]

Slimer was a spirit from the sedgewick hotel summoned by Ivo Shandor to eat everything it sees but it ended up failing lol..some lore for you.

[@CHRISTOPHERSEAWARD]

Heres another reco for spooktober. Constantine.

[@mttschmitt]

I grew up in the 80's and have watched this movie at least 30 times over the years and have never noticed Spangler being terrified coming down the pole in the station. My mom taped this from cable and I watched it all the time growing up. I can't believe I never saw it, I'm in tears laughing right now. The face he's making is hilarious.

[@luwucian4497]

*The Police trying to catch Diddy* 20:29

[@keithsavagelives]

12:20 The "good" one word one-liner has become a sort of verbal shorthand among my family for an outcome we all saw coming. It's astounding how much this film informed pop culture. For Gen X at least, it is truly iconic. Thanks for watching it at last, great and good fun watching you see it for the first time!

[@johnkevinlouw6369]

the adverthat you see on the tv in the movie is the commercial they put during the SuperBowl and that is the only advertising they did for the movie, they received 2000 calls a day on their hotline and it made the anticipation for the movie even more

[@prodestrian]

Phone numbers starting with "555" aren't real, it's a prefix specifically reserved for fake telephone numbers. You can't call them.

[@brendaclark8344]

FYI When Ray Parker, Jr. was asked to write the song for ghostbusters, he was given a rundown on the movie and told them he would get back to them. He wrote the song in 30 minutes.

[@TVPIVVA]

Ghostbusters with the Media Knights!? Absolutely YES!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

You guys are the freakin’ best! ❤️

[@Tommy-xq5jw]

A classic in the 80's. It went from nowhere in the box office to a hit. There were lunch boxes, tee shirts, toys, computer games... it had a cartoon that actually redesigned the second movie!

[@ThomasVanhala]

The Walter Peck guy from the EPA is out of line but he is not wrong about assessing there operation. A simple blackout in New York will have the same effect as shutting there containment system down. I am curious what might have happen if Peter Venkman was more cooperative to a rep from a government agency at the first meeting? There is reasons why people can't build like nuclear reactors and Companies can't build stuff like that without some government oversight.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

You’re right! If we look at it from a neutral perspective having a team like the Ghostbusters would definitely require some regulations haha these guys are nuts! 😂❤️

[@elcorado83]

This is the one thing that dates it because the president and culture at the time was very Right wing, and as a result, VERY against environmentalists, seeing them as 'kooks' and killjoys-so in the film he was a 'bad guy'.

[@kellypedersen6590]

Aykroyd and Ramis had written this a couple years before, when they were still part of Saturday Night Live, and was originally going to star another SNL alumnus, the late John Belushi. The original story line had them time-traveling to hunt spirits throughout history- kinda glad they didn't follow through with that. 😄

[@Dannyboy.]

"Sigourney Weaver, what a legend !" : I recommend you to watch a short sketch from "You again" (You again cast interview 2'59 long), it's hilarious ! Sigourney knows she's the queen of box-office and let their fellow co-stars know !

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

Eyewitness (1981) with her and William Hurt is great too.

[@Paul_1971]

Great reaction - you are one of my go-to reactors. I'm so glad I grew up in the 70s & 80s, so much more thought was put in to performances, script & direction in movies back then.

[@Lion-D.-Garp]

A pyramid in the fridge? That chick is obviosly cooking some Illuminati sh*t xD
