The "Ghostbusters" on John Belushi (1984)

[@TheSeas721]

@@silverpslm The August 1983 draft of the original movie even described him as a "New Wave Mr. Spock" : INT. MAIN READING ROOM EGON SPENGLER is waiting for Venkman and Stantz when they arrive. Spengler is a real egghead, a New Wave Mr. Spock who single-handedly got Venkman through graduate school. Spengler is incredibly intelligent but amazingly dense at the same time.

It breaks my heart I didn't get a chance to meet Harold and John. John died in '82 before I was born but Harold died in 2014. I've only met Ernie Hudson and Dan Aykroyd. Both great guys and very down to earth.

[@Stjtcb]

I met Harold Ramis briefly at Second City. He was doing a reunion show around 2009. He was rehearsing with the cast in a small room. I was in a larger room with my sketch group. He would walk by the hall every so often and finally popped his head in to ask if we could switch, since he had a larger group. Didn’t have much of an interaction but the way he politely asked always stuck with me. Like he wasn’t above anyone. I’ve also met Aykroyd a few times, very nice and genuine guy. Talks to you like he’s known you forever.

[@LextheRobot]

I've got recuts of at least two more interviews she did with him in my playlist. This one was more about Razor's Edge, but she spoke to him again during the Ghostbusters press junket. And by the time she interviewed him again for GB2 five years later, she finally had a two-camera setup and no longer had to reshoot her own closeups at the end of the shoot. That one's got a much more spontaneous feel to it, at least as far as her side of it.

Wonderful interviews. Fun to see their real personality shine through the legacy of their characters.

[@LextheRobot]

Glad you enjoyed them. Hours of raw footage from Bobbie Wygant interviews showed up on various websites. The majority of them were single-camera shoots where she would film her questions separately at the end to be intercut, although by 1989 she was using a two-camera setup, such as when she interviewed Bill Murray for GBII. I tried my best to cut them the way I thought they'd have looked for broadcast, though I'm sure most airings would've trimmed them down to the bare minimum of catchy soundbytes. Which in my opinion is a huge disservice to her true interview style. Here's some of the others I've uploaded, enjoy. kzbin.info/aero/PLQ-zqMhV3keB822EawjWJUS1ffok1W_BH

[@Historian212]

He is. But if you listen to Jane Curtin talk about Belushi, you get a different side of it. She talks about how she met him before SNL, they were auditioning for SNL and for another show, and spent time hanging out just being friends. But after SNL started, she said he disrespected her and all the women cast members, claiming that women can't be funny. She didn't seem bitter, she just said the guy she thought she was friends with wasn't that guy. She wonders if it was the drugs or the fame, or maybe both, that affected him. But he was a complicated guy, for sure.

[@Frady180]

@@Historian212 Id argue that in many interviews and even this clip, Dan also rebukes that John Belushi. He speaks about how at the end John wouldnt listen and wasnt much fun to be around. He also speaks in other interviews about his ego. I think it hurt Dan how much they drifted apart just before Johns death. Ill always respect the way Jane talks about it also. Her and Dan speak about it honestly, but also with respect. Jane had every reason to hate him after he basically told her that women shouldnt be on SNL. The fact she is willing to attribute that to drugs and not her ex friend speaks to her character

Bobbie's interviews are seriously incredible. She really is an unsung hero. She get's the actors to really open up.

[@LextheRobot]

Hey Larry, I just saw this comment and I have to agree. I've recut several other interviews she did with the cast of the first two Ghostbusters movies, and each one is a revelation. She does her homework on their careers, she makes intuitive leaps about their works (such as in the first clip here, realizing the scene in Razor's Edge was Murray's eulogy to Belushi), she does great followup questions based on what their answers are, and she maintains a personal touch as well, reminding the actors where and when she'd last spoken with them. On all the ones from 1984, she was using a one-camera setup, which meant she let her cameraman focus on the actor first, and then she reshot her cutaway closeups afterward. If you watch the raw tapes, it's fascinating to see her tweak her questions from memory, to better set up the answers she'd just heard. By the time she interviewed Murray yet again for Ghostbusters II in 1989, she was using a two-camera setup and there was no need for reshooting the questions later. It makes her sound slightly more spontaneous and fully engaged with them, able to interact more intimately, but her original one-camera shoots were really good on their own.

Harold Ramis was a smart man. Sequels run the risk of being inferior to the original movie.

It goes to show that if you throw enough money at someone you can get them to change their beliefs about anything. Anyway I was 10 in 1989 and I loved Ghostbusters 2.

While I love Ghostbusters and SNL and these guys, I've read widely on the death of Belushi, and the lifestyle of SNL members in that era, and despite Dan's claims, the Woodward book on Belushi is pretty much 100 percent accurate.

Is it only me or Bill Murray was about to cry at the end of the interview?

Imagine how cool John Belushi would have been as a Ghostbuster? 😎 Sorry Ernie Hudson 😂

[@larrygill2223]

Belushi was meant for Peter venkmen (spelling?). The role of Ernie Hudson was meant to be for Eddie Murphy but he declined due to bev. Hills cop

When Harold Ramis mentioned John making faces in the mirror reminds me of myself. Almost every morning after I brush my teeth I look at the mirror on my medicine cabinet & I make faces just to amuse myself. I’ve been doing it since I was a kid standing in front of the mirror making faces just to amuse myself. It would be interesting if I did that in front of a 2 way mirror & the people watching my facial expressions & laughing. That would be awesome I think kinda like Candid Camera funny.

It's interesting to see celebrities speaking freely. It seems like most of the contemporary ones have to be extremely careful about what they talk about.

Everyone today is full of shit anyways - all, liars and snakes. Hollywood is disgusting now...ignorance was bliss back then lol

"I don't believe in sequels." -Harold Ramis. Well, there was Ghostbusters 2.

[@John231984]

Yes. But even then he wasn't keen on it and wanted to try and do something differnt. There are inteviews with this.

[@dbsti3006]

@@John231984 Whether he wanted to or not, he has a full part in "Afterlife" without even being alive. He's in two sequels. He was honored properly in the right way. That's what matters to me. I loved this guy as a kid.

I always think its a shame Murray and Ramis didnt do more double act films they were such a good duo both in Stripes and then Ghostbusters.

[@Madbandit77]

They were supposed to work Ramis' "Club Paradise", but Murray wanted to spend time with his family.

[@theyellowlightsaber3193]

@@Madbandit77 Ah right, interesting Id never heard of that film, I presume if Bill had agreed to do it then Ramis mightve been in it as well? Cos he doesnt appear in this one, I notice Rick Moranis does though as does Bill's brother again, thats a real shame they never got a third outing together then, it wouldve made a neat DVD 3 pack akin to the cornetto trilogy, same guys playing different characters. I know Ramis appeared in Groundhog Day but it was only a cameo which wasnt the same.

[@Nommicus]

Rip John. I first saw him in Blues Brothers, one of THE most influential and IMHO best films ever. Saw a few things about him later and like many he passed before his time. ❤❤❤ To all

[@MisterBourgolini]

If John Belushi kicked his drug addiction, Ghostbusters without a doubt would have been his greatest film of all time. Bill Murray would still have classic films even without Ghostbusters. Murray was very humble in this interview.

[@DOBERSTAFFIE]

Miss Harold Ramis, so underrated as an actor, director and writer.

[@personanon-grata5083]

Ramis may have been the most talented, but don't tell the others I said that.

[@davidtaylor328]

I Love this Video !!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@chrisskalski7292]

I`ll give Dan credit for being consistent over the years with his evaluation of this situation of his late friend John Belushi. Maybe Dan knows something about this situation that he can`t share publicly, but I`m surprised how he always gives Cathy Smith a pass for John`s death in a way.

Rip to a great Comdiean, Actor & Director Harold Ramis we still miss you

[@AllenSmithe]

To clarify, Murray is talking about a scene in The Razers Edge, a philosophical film based a novel that Murray insisted be made before he would agree to do Ghostbusters

[@LextheRobot]

The video's description specifies that she's interviewing him about Razor's Edge. But the timing on things is more like Razor's Edge was already in production when Columbia greenlit Ghostbusters to be released one year later, so the "let me make this other movie if you want me for the comedy" claim is a bit of an urban myth / exaggeration. I think it was more about a distribution deal, I'll try to find one of the older sources to see what it said back in the day. Internet versions tend to get distorted over time.

[@AllenSmithe]

​@@LextheRobot so it is, but the title might add confusion. The timing of those two films doesn't actually dispell that myth at all, it would align with it in fact.
