**WHO YOU GONNA CALL??** Ghostbusters (1984) Reaction: FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@joeymac3777]

The role of Venkman was originally written for Dan Aykroyd's best friend, John Belushi. It took Aykroyd a while to write the script. He actually got the news of Belushi's death while in the process of writing a line for him. Slimer...the green ghost at the hotel was written/created by Aykroyd S kind of an Homage to John. A party animal that just doesn't give a crap. Aykroyd has lovingly referred to Slimer as "The Ghost of John Belushi."

[@Mikebuster]

the puppeteers for slimer also tried to replicate John Belushi's physical performance from "Animal House"

[@neural_jam]

In the credits he's referred to as 'Onionhead' - they called him that because the puppet smelled bad 🤨

[@StarlasAiko]

Ghostbusters is basically, the story writer was told to write a horror movie and the dialogue writer was told to write a comedy.

[@thomasriddle7005]

The green ghost with the munchies is Slimer and is a beloved character for many of us that grew up with the cartoon.

Annie Potts, the actress who plays the secretary, was in one of the funniest 80s,90s sitcoms, Designing Women. Dan Ackroy and Bill Murray were on Saturday Night Live together, for years. Other iconic Ackroyd films, with John Belushi (also SNL) is the Blues Brothers and with Eddie Murphy (also SNL), Trading Places. These SNL years were hilarious and very politically incorrect. Just remembered, Rick Moranis, the dog neighbor, was on SNL too. All these guys appeared at the same time.

What sells the concept is the writing by Ramis and Aykroyd, the technobabble mixed with the mythology of Goser worshipers.

13:24 Much of it is never explained in the movies, but there’s a BUNCH of canonical information about this. For example, ectoplasm is a residue that manifests whenever a ghost makes contact with anything on the physical plane. Short answer, ghosts are slimy. They even wrote an entire classification system for ghosts. For example, the ghost in the library is a Class IV Semi-Anchored Entity, which really just means she is intelligent, has a personality and identity, and is somewhat bound to the confines of the public library.

I actually watched the Saturday morning cartoon series before I ever watched the movie it was based on. Such a classic!! Ray, Egon, Peter, and Winston are the perfect team. Ray and Egon are the brains behind the technology, science, and ghost researching. Peter was friends with them and kind of got roped in as a result. His degree was in psychology and paranormal psychology, but that’s as far as his contribution goes. He really seemed to be along for the ride. Winston is the newbie who was just looking for a job. I love how when Janine was doing the pre-interview and mentioning paranormal things, his response was “if there’s a steady paycheck in it, I’ll believe whatever you want”. By the end of the movie, he seemed to enjoy the job and fit right in, which brings me to my only complaint. It would have been more appropriate and satisfying if his line at the end was “I love this job!” not “I love this town!”

[@nickreacts6394]

Thanks for filling me in on the teams backstory, their chemistry and different roles in the group is one of the things this film executed very well.

He’s the only ghost they won’t trap. Also, the reason they add the word “real” to the title “The Real Ghostbusters”... is because there was actually another cartoon out there at the time calling itself “Ghostbusters” that had absolutely nothing to do with the movie. So naturally when they made a cartoon based off the movie, they had to distinguish themselves from that other farce. Hmmmm, foreshadowing?? 😉

Classic, I watch this one & 2 every so often. Ghostbusters the Video game is generally considered to be the 3rd "film" canon-wise, since it was the last time the 4 of them worked together, even if only their voicework. When you look into the background of the first one it's fascinating to think of what could have been. John Candy was supposed to get the part that Rick Moranis ultimately got, but he wanted to play the character as a Frenchman for some reason. Eddie Murphy was originally slated as Winston, but he had scheduling conflicts (he was working on Beverly Hills Cop). Aykroyd & Ramis were Spiritualists at the time, which lends credence & depth to the movie overall. Lastly, the one I always wonder about. John Belushi was originally supposed to be Peter Venkman, but he ODed & died, so it was re-written for Bill Murray. Slimer supposedly is/was put in as an ode to the kinds of characters Belushi tended to play. If I could visit alternate Earths, I'd like seeing the one where Belushi lived to play the role of Venkman. The energy of THAT Ghostbusters would certainly be different, & I highly doubt Slimer would be there. If Slimer was, it'd no doubt be different then the version we know.

[@bemasaberwyn55]

So Dan Akkroyd had envisioned an epic of BIBLICAL proportions with his original treatment. After shopping it around producer Ivan Reitman at Columbia liked his idea. But suggested pearing back the effects(Stay Puft was in the first act). He invited Harold Ramis(RIP) and Dan to his lake house to write a script after selling the idea to Columbia. The blue collar angle came from that weekend. They shot pretty much that script(minus the improvs by the enrire cast). Improvisations like Sigourney Weaver acting like a dog in her audition. Initially John Belushi was supposed to be in this. As was Eddie Murphy and John Candy. From all appearances Ghostbusters shouldn't have worked since this film is BASICALLY a horror comedy.....but the final product. From score, to soundtrack, to effects, to story.....everything worked. Still works nearly 40 years later. The film spawned a successful cartoon series(and spinoff), comics, video games(1 written by Ramis and Akkroyd), toys and 2 sequels(2nd coming out on the 18th or so).....as well as a poorly excecuted reboot. As to the characters Peter is the straight man(aka skeptic), Egon is very much the tech guy of the group. Ray is the heart. And Winston is the audience insert. Personally Egon was always my favorite but EVERYONE has great lines. A fun thing to think about......if Peter wasn't being such a DICK to that student, he'd have seen his experiment ACTUALLY worked. This film(and it's first sequel) is SO damn quotable. Welcome to this wonderful franchise of Ghostheads

[@nickreacts6394]

Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I thought the blue collar angle to the story added quite a bit, very cool hearing the story behind it. And I think this movie is a textbook example of having the proper balance with the key character types, each fitting a classic role but still all being funny/ charming in their own way.

And ultimately ruins the cartoon as a result (the _Slimer & The Real Ghostbusters_ seasons).

Nice review

[@Skraith]

If you've got Netflix, there's an episode of "The Movies That Made Us" for Ghostbusters that's very much worth watching! So much going on behind the scenes (For instance: Wondering if Bill Murray show up to work)

[@nickreacts6394]

Thanks for letting me know,I will check it out

[@MikeyJProductions]

I'll watch your GB2 reaction.

Thanks! It’ll be up next week

I did, and I actually liked that one even more than the first, my reaction is on the channel :)

Don't ask too many questions. It tells you important bits. It then leaves non important bits for Bill's improv

The Ecto-1 is an ambulance

The Ecto-1 is a an ambulance/hearse conversion. Oddly fitting for them to use something that under under normal circumstances might be used to transport dead people.

I thought it was a Hearse

Yet, it has the colorization of a police car.

@@nickreacts6394 later go online and look up all the cut scenes from the definitive ghostbusters 3 which was a video game in 2009. Im sure it’s not your thing. But they never thought they’d get to do a 3rd film so they did a video game. The script was written by Dan Aykroyd and Harald Ramis, and a few others. It was very well done and has the same humor. I think you’d appreciate it after seeing the second film.

[@Overlord0011]

Since you like Weaver’s ability to act so differently depending on what personality she is doing, if you haven’t seen it, I recommend Split.

[@nickreacts6394]

I’ve actually seen that film, James McAvoy is great in it

[@russellward4624]

It makes me feel incredibly old that there are people that haven't seen this and it's not because they're 5. Lol

[@gracetaylor6200]

"Are they gonna go into the rules of the ghosts?" There's actually quite a lot of lore, but hardly any of it is in the films. The comics, and often the couple of cartoon series, will tend to go further into the lore as their medium allows them to do so. But, for the movies themselves, it's best just to roll with it :)

[@nickreacts6394]

Yeah, I just rolled with it for the movies like you said, but I appreciate that there is lore to look up that is out there...

[@judeless77]

It’s not called lore, it’s called scientific research. The Warrens don’t have a house full of lore. There are no rules because each entity is different. I’ve been doing ghost hunting for nearly thirty years and have read the entire section of two libraries regarding anything supernatural or paranormal; I even took a parapsychology course in college: there are no rules. None. Nada. You’re just making shit up.

[@StCerberusEngel]

@@judeless77 The MOVIES have lore. The MOVIES have rules. As do the cartoons, comics, video games, and especially the pen and paper RPG. Fiction, man. It's called fiction. They're not talking about your literary pursuits.

[@gracetaylor6200]

@Scott Brynildsen literally though, I’m not talking about actual ghost hunting. You telling me you go around with a proton pack strapped to your back?? It’s a movie, and yes, the movie has lore.

[@charleswilliams6236]

This one is very good

[@nickreacts6394]

Agreed!

John Candy was initially supposed to be in this movie but he died so wasn't available. So Rick who was asked instead

[@katiejackson2178]

Actually, John Candy turned the role down. He didn't die until the mid 90's

[@BunnyBoiler72]

Nope. John Candy died ten years later - he turned down the role since he and the director couldn't agree on how to play the character. It was John Belushi's part that had to be recast due to him dying.

[@ronweber1402]

@@BunnyBoiler72 Ya Candy himself said he couldn't convincingly convey what the director wanted so he passed. Which was an excellent decision because Moranis is brilliant.

[@Billinois78]

And we'd like to thank Huey Lewis and the News for the title theme. No, actually Ray Parker Jr. would get sued by Huey Lewis and his record label for plagiarism due to the Ghostbusters theme's similarities to the song "I Want a New Drug". The case was settled out of court provided neither party speak of it again publicly. Huey slipped up, though, and did mention it in an interview, leading to a counter-suit from Parker. Again, settled quickly, but the man probably doesn't have to work again between that and the royalties on this one song.

[@nickreacts6394]

Had no idea what happened with the music, now I have to look up that song

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

Yet, the cartoon still had John Smith sing the Ray Parker Jr. hit anyway.

Hi, could you react to The Meg, Galaxy Quest or The Bone Collector. I'd love to see your reaction to any of these movies

Love Galaxy Quest!

Yay!!! Ghostbusters! Also you got into Buffy Reactor Awards. Make sure to skip the spoiler at 13:50 I have a time stamp to jump to pinned: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJq2op6ZfbqdepY This movie underneath the surface was the h3ll of trying to start a business and there's a reason Mr Regulator was the true villain. And I appreciated the willingness to show the dark side of entrepreneurialship as well as you said $5! The girl thinking she has a gift. Actually this captures all sides well. "I've worked in the private sector, they expect results." There was such a magic captured of comedy horror and one of the rare ghost stories I'll watch. The soundtrack is definitely part of that and every other aspect from writing/acting to the technical kept raising the bar. Curiosity will you be doing Ghostbusters 2?

[@nickreacts6394]

Thanks for putting me in the Buffy awards! And yes, this movie got so many elements right. My Ghostbusters 2 reaction will be coming out next week

[@barbarabaker1457]

@@nickreacts6394 Yay!!! Don't know if you got into 6 yet but there's 7 seasons and all reactors have their better episodes so I don't worry about it.

Have you seen Back to the future Trilogy? If not, that would be a great react to do

[@nickreacts6394]

No I haven't, although I really want to! Hopefully soon!

[@enicole1203]

I swear I thought I'd seen this movie but I am having no recollection of any of this... maybe I saw Ghostbusters 2?

[@nickreacts6394]

Could be… if you check out next week’s reaction, maybe you can see if the sequel looks familiar (could also be the remake that you saw)

[@Cobalt-Jester]

Don't be one of those who needs answers to everything. Egon is smart he can build things... Just Because it doesn't show him building things is not a plot hole. I watch this movie and I see the tech and without any doubt or suspension of disbelief it looks loike it could be made by Egon. I believe Egon can build a 'Proton Pack' .... I don't believe Melissa McCarthy can build one.
