You know, in the original script, it was supposed to be a giant Pillsbury Dough Boy, but they couldn't get permission. What they put together was sort of a combination of the PDB, the Michelin Tire guy and possibly Bob's Big Boy. Dana had a bag of Stay Puft marshmallows on the kitchen counter next to the eggs. It's not something a first-time viewer would notice, but might notice when watching again. I think there was also a Stay Puft ad on the side of a building outside Ghostbusters headquarters and can be seen when the roof blows up.

Not an 80:s film, but The Fifth Element (1997) has a similar spirit as Ghostbusters. It's a well paced, fast, fun action comedy also with a lot of quotable lines. Directed by Luc Besson and a great cast including Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Cris Tucker and Gary Oldman. If you haven't watched it, I think you'll love it.

For Bill Murray movies, Groundhog Day is a great one. Also, I just love Rick Moranis, and have to wonder if you two are familiar with his comedic Canadian duo, called The Mckenzie Brothers. They made a movie in 1983 called Strange Brew and, if you haven't seen it, you must! 😆 (pretty sure it is a Canadian rite of passage; at least, that is what I read on the internet, so, that's obviously true).😆

Dan Ackroyd is a true believer, his family were all into the paranormal. The best lines "LISTEN ! Can you smell something ?" - "Gozer the Gozerian... good evening." - "I'm going to send you a nice fruit basket." Rick Moranis' accountancy monologue at the party was 100% improv. What a legend. So more 80s - Trading Places (Dan Ackroyd Eddie Murphey) - What About Bob - (Bill Murray Richard Dreyfuss) and one noone is doing that is SOOO funny - Stakeout (Richard Dreyfuss, Emilio Estevez). Look up Brat Pack movies as well - Lost Boys, Young Guns, St Elmos Fire. That's the 80s !

[@TriarchVisgroup]

When Dan said he showed this movie to his kids I just imagined them sitting in front of the TV during the montage and going "Daddy... What is that angel doing?"

[@Redfern42]

@@TriarchVisgroup That, ahem, "angel" was Kim Herrin. She appeared in a few ZZ Top videos and had a modest career in the 80s as "eye candy" for various other projects. She was also the "Playmate of the Month" in the very first PlayBoy I formally purchased when I reached legal age. So I tended to notice her when she appeared in something.

@@Redfern42 Does that make the image I painted less disturbing, or more disturbing?

[@michaelserot6844]

A few of my favorite stories that came out of this film are 1) the bookshelf that fell in the library basement wasn't supposed to happen 2) the male student didn't mean to spit out his gun. It happened and sent the crew into hysterics 3) the pyrotechnics on the maid's cart scared her and her "What the hell are you doing?" reaction is real 4) in the montage scene, when Egon looks over his shoulder, it's because the crew wasn't supposed to shoot there so a security guard was chasing the actors and it ended up in the film 5) the ghost bj scene is a deleted scene where Ray and Winston visit a haunted Army fort 6) John Candy was supposed to play Louis but he wanted to play Louis as a German man with two big German Shepard dogs 7) when Peck gets drenched in marshmallow, the crew used 50 gallons (I think) of shaving cream and it nearly knocked the stuntman off his feet 8) Paul Reubens (Pee-Wee Herman) was the original choice for Gozer

[@harveybojangle475]

Dana's apartment building was a matte painting. The SPM Man was a guy in a suit. The terror dogs were a combination of live puppets and stop-motion animation. Also, the rich people in the restaurant DID see Louis attacked outside but couldn't be bothered to actually stop eating and help. Classic!

[@eschiedler]

In the 80's you would watch these movies blind in a one-screen theater that was not a mega-plex and maybe even had a balcony. There was a romance to the transformative experience, especially if it was a big cultural touchstone like "Ghostbusters." Nothing like it today.

[@MrUndersolo]

Summer of '84: I was ten, and I can co firm all of the above!

[@Glisern]

You're right. It's better today.

[@StormhavenGaming]

I first watched this movie in an absolute flea pit of a cinema. One screen, sticky floors, threadbare upholstery, and it stank of stale cigarette smoke. It's certainly far more pleasant an experience these days, but it is much more sterile.

[@richlisola1]

Those theaters can be found

And usually the upstairs balcony was the smoking section. Better yet was the drive-in theaters. Load up pizza beer snacks kick back relax and watch a movie or two.

Ghostbusters is such an amazing blend of comedy, cosmic horror, supernatural horror, and urban fantasy. I can watch it hundreds of times and it never gets old. A similar movie that gets hardly any love these days is Monster Squad(1987). If you watch it you'll see a lot of similarities to a very popular modern show. I can't recommend it enough.

[@corvus1970]

I absolutely second "The Monster Squad." Excellent pick!

They made great use of air hoses for the special effects. The cards flying up out of the drawers? Air hoses. The eggs exploding? Air hoses. Hair flying back? Air hoses. The marshmallow was actually shaving foam. William Atherton's Walter Peck had around 100lbs (45kg) dumped on him - although the actual amount varies depending on who you listen to. Great reaction to a great film.

There really is no other movie like this one! 😂 You've mentioned gaming often, did you know there's a fairly recent Ghostbusters game, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, where four of you can suit up as ghostbusters and play together? It's not the greatest game, but it is fun, especially customizing the character to make myself as a ghostbuster. Worth a whirl to play together IMHO. There's also an amazing singleplayer game from 2009 that they've remastered that you can get on steam. It features all the actors and Aykroyd and Ramis worked with the writers. It's basically the 3rd movie we never got, in game form. Just thought I'd share in case you were interested! Anyways! Have fun!

[@scottfield5849]

When they catch their first ghost, watch Harold Ramis. He is giving Bill Murray the cues on how much to charge with his fingers. The Slimer Ghosts is their mascot in the animated series.

[@My-Name-Isnt-Important]

The legendary Elmer Bernstein did the score for the film. He has done epics like the Ten Commandments, Ben Hurr, and other classics from the late 50's and early 60's. From the 80's onward he would do the score for various films, but you can always notice his style. Originally John Candy was to play the part that Rick Moranis plays. John Candy just didn't understand the part, and kept wanting to do a German accent. He eventually let the guys know the part wasn't for him, but he knew of a guy that would be excellent. He recommended Moranis, since Candy knew of his work from SCTV. Rick Moranis instantly understood the part and for his audition did exactly what you see in the film. Moranis became really well know after the film, and helped him land larger parts later on. That's the sort of person John Candy was, if he felt he couldn't do a part he would always recommend someone else, and usually help make them a bigger star.

[@TANKTREAD]

I appreciate some else out there mentioning the score to a film. Yes Elmer Bernstein's score is awesome for the film, my favorite by the film composer.

[@krisfrederick5001]

The next time someone asks if your a God you say "YES!" I still can't believe I didn't notice the irony how often the Key Master constantly locking himself out of his own apartment as a kid.

If you guys want to watch a great movie from the 80’s that will scratch both your Mortal Combat itch and your comedy itch, than you have to watch “Big Trouble in Little China” with Kurt Russell. It’s so good and another cult classic. You will love it!

[@kinokind293]

In the days before CGI, there were still special effects. And because they are real, they look more real. The cards were propelled from the card catalog by little compressed air tubes, The green blob ghost (later informally called "Slimer") was meant to represent the late John Belushi, who had recently died. The slime is (as always) Methyl Cellulose, which is typically used as a food thickener and is, thus, non-toxic. Although there is an actual building at Central Park West that was used for the entrance to Dana's building, many floors were added via matte painting, and to create the temple and elaborate roof. For the buckling street, a copy of the entrance and first few floors was built at the studio. The main temple set was built on the sound stage and surrounded by a giant cyclorama of the New York skyline. All courtesy of the production designer, the late, great John De Cuir.

[@MovieDan1011]

One of the greatest movies off all time i can quote this movie start to finish and everyone is perfectly cast it but Venkman is my personal favourite and the Ecto 1 ties with the Deloreon for coolest and most iconic movie car ever"Your right no human being would stack books like this" "He slimed me" "We came we saw we kicked its ass!!"

Your mention of the cartoon series reminded me of one of my favourite bits of pop-culture connection trivia... Peter Venkman was voiced by Lorenzo Music for the first two seasons and Music also provided the voice for Garfield in the Garfield and Friends cartoons.

[@Hard-R-Energy]

I love the call back to the beginning of the film when Venkman tells Ray to "Go get her" when dealing with Gozer. He's essentially still roasting him for his botched "plan" at the library.

[@treetopjones737]

Trivia: the opening scene in the library was shot in a storage room of the downtown L.A., California Library with shelves and books added. Also the Biltmore Hotel downtown L.A. for "the Sedgewick Hotel." I recall they said the catalog cards flying out they did with a blower from a hole in the back.

[@StevesFunhouse]

Just an FYI ... the librarian in the beginning scene also plays Ray Finkle's "crazy lady" mom in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Now, just a comment about something you asked ... When Louis got caught outside the restaurant, YES, the patrons DID see him, but this was more a social commentary about how people in New York seem cold sometimes, choosing to ignore something after seeing it because they see so much crime and weird things happening. So, once they reacted to his screams, they just went back to whatever they were doing (i.e. eating, talking, joking, etc.).

[@MadcapMatt]

I didn't know this until recently but Slimer is actually just a guy in a suit filmed on a black background. I always assumed it was a puppet on strings.

IMPORTANT PARENTAL Tip: Ray Stance is the reason why bringing in your kids when looking for a new house or property is a bad idea for bargaining purposes..... LEAVING the kids with the Grandparents is a better idea.

[@Strathaczar]

For the "Marshmallow", they used Shaving Cream. When the guy who plays the EPA jerk gets a giant deluge of "Marshmallow", it's really shaving cream, but they used a menthol version on accident, and it really burned everyone that was covered in it.

I had a behind the scenes book when i was a kid. They DID build massive sets. The Stay Puft scene was just a guy in a suit. Walking through a miniature NYC with lots of model cars and model trees for Central Park. Same with a lot of the "dog" shots. There's actors in the suits. Slimer was a guy wearing a Slimer suit on his torso with black pants.

[@dupersuper1938]

Venkman (the guy with a degree in psychology) could tell Peck was already out to get them; that's why he was messing with him. Lest any one thought they had any issue with the EPA, Harold Ramis appeared as Egon in an Earth Day TV special.

[@ericomartins9794]

There were no complaints or tests showing the presence of any contaminants, which leaves two options for Peck's behavior: 1) he was corrupt and was trying to extract a bribe. 2) something much more sinister: the cult of Shandor still existed at that point and Peck was a member and knew exactly what he was doing.

[@dupersuper1938]

@@ericomartins9794 OR...he was a dickish little busybody drunk with his moderate bureaucratic power? If the EPA had sent some one without an axe to grind, Venkman wouldn't have clocked that and messed with them, they'd have checked the containment device and verified tat it wasn't an environmental hazard, there'd have been no sign and thus no movie.

They made this movie. Yes, I like that you caught this was comedy, but it had a great story and lore. This is why we love it. Plus, this was different type of hero movie. Comedy and men of science becoming heroes and willing to do anything to save their city.

Well. . . not yet. . . 10:26: The gizmo is one of many science-y props the production had, and Bill Murray picked it for this scene specifically because it was the most funny. It's actually a tool for taking air samples, hence the squeezy bulb. Yeah, Venkman's Lovable Sex Maniac pick-up artist antics have NOT aged well. Thankfully, he kind of redeems himself when Zuul is throwing "herself" at him and he refuses, legitimately trying to help and reach Dana. Showing that, while he's certainly out to "score," he's not going to take advantage. She doesn't turn up until the end, but Sigourney Weaver is in a great movie called "Cabin In The Woods."

My favorite part of your reactions is how much you appreciate good practical effects. ❤

10:00 - that comes primarily from Dan Aykroyd's contributions to the script. His family and he have longstanding ties to the spiritism movement, and all the technical jargon surrounding how ghosts exist, what they're made of, how the ghostbusting equipment operates comes from him. The project was very much his baby and the original draft was significantly more ambitious, with the Ghostbusters operating across multiple dimensions battling gigantic lovecraftian monstrosities - the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was originally going to be just one of the monsters they faced - but to make the movie on the budget they were given, it got pared down to what we see in the finished film.

That squeezy thing is a real instrument to test for gas leaks.

I was only 15 months old when this movie came out so I missed it in the theater, but by the age of three I’d seen this movie like a hundred times and was completely obsessed. When the sequel came out in 1989 I was six and went on the radio to celebrate the release. I had on my full Ghostbusters jumpsuit and all of my toys. What a great time to be a kid! I wept at the end of Ghostbusters Afterlife in 2021. Highly recommended for a reaction!

Eggs were pre-cut and painted to hide the breaks, and air tubes underneath sent them flying (you can see one of the eggs bubbling after it goes flying). A disguised hot plate was built into the countertop. At the beginning, a similar trick was used for the flying cards: air tubes propel the cards, and people push the drawers out from the back side.

Stay Puft was a guy in a suit, the head had hydraulics built in to the make the facial expressions and was controlled by people behind the scenes, so it looked real because it was. And the marshmallow splats at the end were a shaving foam mix.

Such an iconic film... I saw it in theaters. The YT channel Corridor Crew recently did a behind the scenes episode on some of the VFX on this.

[@maplenutsreact]

Ooooh I would love to see that!

8:40 - The eggs scene is some classic low-tech movie magic. The eggs are apparently pre-scored to crack a certain way, there's some sort of pnuematic pusher or blower under the part of the counter to push them out, and the portion of countertop they cook on is actually a ceramic hotplate. That's why the marshmallow bag isn't melting.

Just rewatched the movie myself tonight and realised for the first time, the guard in the jail scene is played by Reginald Vel Johnson -Sgt Al Powell in Die Hard! I must have watched this 20+ times and never noticed before!

YAAAAAAYYY! Another member to the fanbase! Lol Welcome! It's a lot of fun! As far as those magazine covers during the montage, there are prints that you can buy and frame from Etsy! They look great!

I remember watching this movie 🎥 in cinema back in 1984 and immediately loved it. My brother who watched it with his friends loved it so much that he bought a cassette tape of Ghostbusters soundtrack which included this song, songs by other artists heard in the movie and the beautiful musical instrumental arrangement scored by Elmer Bernstein. Unfortunately both the mentioned audio cassette and the video tapes that I watched on TV with my friends a year later were pirated copies as we were too young to buy the originals. The video tape was rented by one of my friends’ cousin who loved it so much that he made an illegal copy of it then in turn rented out to me. Slick the cousin. However I enjoyed both experiences back in the ‘80s. Such were the good ole times😅

The 80's movies were full of music. I still have my CD with the soundtrack of Ghostbusters.
