FUN FACT: Dan Aykroyd originally wrote the script with John Belushi in mind to portray Peter Venkmann, but he died before production started and Aykroyd hired Harold Ramis to rewrite the script with him. The role of Venkmann went to Bill Murray and the green ghost, Slimer, was designed to be the ghost of John Belushi.

"Where do these stairs go?" "They go up." My favorite joke.

[@cassiemichael7414]

Have any of you guys noticed that in horror movies or sci-fi movie, that there's always a character that gives a quote that sums up the realization of the whole thing and represents the turning point of the film? There's plenty I could name off the top of my head, but I think the one for this one was when Ray and Winston were in the car at night talking about the end of the world, and Winston says, "Ray, has it ever occurred to you that the reason we've been so busy is that the dead HAVE been rising from the grave?" Did you feel that, I sure did, the millions of minds shattering at the fact that this is a really good quote and now it's really gonna get good.

[@Cenindo]

That scene in the car at night is nicely atmospheric. Nothing particularly funny is said -- it is as if the comedy takes a break from itself for a minute -- but that is really quite OK. It sets up what is to come.

[@cassiemichael7414]

@@Cenindo Yeah, I love these scenes, and it's not the only one where two people are driving a car at night and some truth bombs are set off. There's a kick-a$$ movie from 1994 called In The Mouth of Madness. It's a Wes Craven movie that is REALLY similar to stuff from H.P. Lovecraft. Anyway, the scene is where the female lead is trying to convince the male lead that quote "Reality is just what we tell each other. If reality and insanity switched places, you'd find yourself in a padded cell, wondering what happened to the world.." Now, THAT'S some thought-provoking conversation, right there.

You can just see how much fun the actors had making this film.

[@tarascholfield5887]

The Exorcist came out in the 70's. My dad told me the stories at the theater when people were running out of the movie screaming and sick etc.

[@teddyporter679]

I remember that movie, it scared the hell out of me but I didn’t run out. But it still scares me to this day.

[@stephengill745]

Still holds up to this day love the characters especially egon and winston and the score from Elmer Bernstein was brilliant. 10/10

[@Boroman9]

I have been praying for this day to come for so long. You girls absolutely nailed it! Ghostbusters is another of the all time great films! Even though it was made the year before I was born, I’ve been watching it for as long as I’ve been alive. It’s hilarious, action-packed & just down right awesome in every way. And the pop cultural legacy it still has on the current generations is still something to behold. Please watch the sequel when you get the time because that is another awesome flick worthy of a reaction from you all.

[@user-uw7kb6si9o]

Fun Fact: They really Tore up the street in NY for the making of that scene with the street sinkhole. It cost $250,000 and half of the scene was shot at Central Park west in NYC and the other half was shot in the back lot in LA. They later pieced both scenes together for what we see in the film. In addition, although the movie had about 550 extras, a lot of the cops and crowd were actually real people there to see the shot happen. 😊

[@bigjoeofthe707]

This movie is one of many that were so popular an animated show was made. It’s called The Real Ghostbusters it was great. So many toys I had from the show. Even had myself a toy proton pack and I still have the firehouse.

The irony of the guy always getting locked out of his apartment becoming the key master was lost on me as a child.

[@Stogie2112]

1984: "State of the Art" special effects! Back then, it was MAGIC..... 😀

[@Johnny_Socko]

Hell, it would look better today if the studio would actually remaster it. The versions available for streaming are based on old prints, and optical effects will degrade as the prints are copied rather than struck from the original negative. (Sadly there is no way of making stop-motion look good, lol.)

My Dad took us to see this when it came out in theaters. It was AMAZING!

[@SG-js2qn]

"The Exorcist" was in 1973, and "Ghostbusters" from 1984. The levitating scene was indeed a reference to "The Exorcist." Also, "Poltergeist" came out in 1982, and there are references to that.

[@5trider29]

Exorcist was 1973 So 11 years earlier Thanks for the fun reactions ladies Classic 80's I have such great memories of this movie. I saw it when I was 9 in the theater with my Dad Sigourney Weaver was definitely one of my first crushes after this movie.

Ladies Rick Moranis aka Louis Tully has a long career in movies from this classic to Honey, I shrunk the kids. Rick took a break from acting to raise his kids after sudden death of his wife. Now, he is returning to acting. Rick 1st started in TV. He just signed on for new sequel for Honey, I shrunk the kids.

Fun fact: Jeff Goldblum was considered to play Spengler

Fact is that Ghostbusters' HQ is now FDNY's Fire Station. I think it was station when they filmed 1984's movie and its' sequel (1989) and interview with original cast and new cast of 2021's sequel.

[@guyswing]

Hey girls, once again another wonderful, top-notch reaction from you! One thing I always like about your channel is how you mix it up, playing a real variety of actors and themes That being said, it just occurred to me the other day that it's been a while since you've reacted to a great Tom Hanks movie...and I know we all love Tom Hanks; so, I thought I might suggest one that is universally accepted as a great film, but which does not get a lot of play Have you considered the movie "Philadelphia"?? I won't post any spoilers, but I will tell you it is a court drama, it stars Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington and Antonio Banderas, and bring plenty of tissues! Thank you for considering it!

[@carlop.7182]

Thanks ladies for your reaction. I saw this movie when I was a kid back in 1984. and in the summer of '84, the Ghostbuster song was playing everywhere in radios. It was a huge hit that year. I'll be sure to subscribe and watch some of your other reactions. I saw that you did a few Star Wars, so I might check that out. Have a nice day.

Hey! I think you guys would enjoy an INCREDIBLE beautiful thriller/mystery/drama movie called “The Uninvited” (2009). 🙂 It’s about two sisters against their stepmother, and their mother‘s ghost is helping them. It has a SHOCKING ending and it’s one of the best movies I’ve seen! I think you guys would enjoy it! :)

[@tonysmith5504]

Not sure how fire stations work in your part of the world… their headquarters is a abandoned fire station… all the gear is kept downstairs trucks equipment… upstairs is where they hang out kitchen entertainment quarters… when a alarm goes out quick response time in a big city like New York is critical to keep fire from spreading from building to building… that’s the reason for the pole …. Faster than stairs

People have been talking about how the slimer is based on John Belushi but I think it's a specific movie they were thinking of everybody should watch one of John Belushi's movies called animal House where John Belushi's character I'm positive is exactly what they based slimer on. The homies would really like to react to that movie also it's very funny.
