[@MauroGagliega]

I totally agree. I didn't even think Ghostbusters II was so badly regarded but for me, well, maybe because as a kid I didn't pick up on the similarities between the two movies but it was mostly about the atmosphere. The Titanic docking at the harbor, the glowing eyes in the hallway, the gooey hands reaching out for Ray's feet in the river of slime, the various shots of Vigo with the river of slime in the background with his backstory that is very reminiscent of Rasputin's (stabbed, poisoned, hanged etc...). I love RLM and great editing, btw, but I think they are being WAY too harsh on this sequel. Plus I've had that chilling creepy soundtrack, like when Rey and Egon climb up out of the manhole cover and enraged by the goo has been stuck in my head for almost 30 years.

Great editing for this video. love the cutaway extras from other things than the movie itself. I dont get the hate for this movie. its not terrible. there is plenty enough fun stuff. they even say that in this commentary track. they like lots of little things about the movie, for me that is enough. its like a 6.5/10 AND the cartoon is WAY better. So many better and more interesting stories in the cartoon. the possessed suit episode, sam hain, the car factory gremlins, the new orleans ghost band, the people busters, the sand man, the boogie man, would have all made better movies than this.

[@PaddyCollector]

@@gsesquire3441 As a kid the movies were more like an extension of the cartoons and comics for me. the opposite of what most people thought. lol

[@MrFuggleGuggle]

Most people want sequels to be bigger, and ultimately better, than the first or previous film in a franchise. It's a hope and a dream shared by many film lovers - snob and casual. History has shown us that sequels that are actually 'better' are quite rare - and most sequels ultimately do (and will continue to) disappoint or fail to meet expectations. But, I do agree that Ghostbusters II is not an outright horrible or meritless sequel. Underwhelming for sure and has some writing/logic issues that feel nonsensical or retreading of the first film, but still fine for kids and adults to enjoy overall. For a silly movie about ghosts and that has the Statue of Liberty getting up and walking around, it's aged better than expected.

[@BanyaBat]

Thanks for the kind words about my editing! And I agree, I kind of love GB2!

[@kailomonkey]

I loved Ghostbusters II as a kid. The slime was a new idea and the painting was scary. I know retrospectively that it doesn't align with the first one in quality and some characters, but I did love the cartoon so like the slimer bit was expected by that point. I'm gonna go a bit off topic now to the point of my likes and dislikes. I even liked 2016 the parade balloons bit reminded me of an episode of the cartoon. Afterlife is controversially the only one I haven't liked. But that comes down mostly to my strong dislike of how rebirth movies pay weird homage to their originals. In those terms 2016 was a satire of what I dislike and Afterlife was an embodiment of what I dislike. Focusing back on Ghostbusters Peace-sign, they had the characters doing their thing and the repeated beats didn't bother me. Looking back I did think myself that the love interest was a bit of a repeat but overall it told a simple encounter with a new phenomena which looked great and was a lot of fun! So what if it didn't focus as much on the characters? How can we complain about that and complain about it being 'the same movie' in the same breath? It was a different movie with a different focus... Anyway this was meant to be a light agreement sorry lol :)

[@Mayala285]

i was honestly expecting a generic commentary highlights video but i quite enjoyed this one. i love the details that you added and it adds to the playback value. great job man

[@mayormccheese6171]

I remember seeing this as a little kid in the cinema in 1989, and thinking how stupid it was that all the Ghostbusters were unemployed now, and no one in New York remembered that ghosts and a giant monster attacked the city.

[@gustafsone]

I hate how movie producers always assume kids are stupid. I was 8 years old when this movie came out in cinemas, and I was already a huge fan of the first Ghostbusters movie (I had two older brothers so I got to see a lot of "inappropriate for kids" movies), and I pretty much had the same thoughts as Rich in this commentary. I had already determined the movie was stupid early on, but at the end when they got into the Statue of Liberty, my "this movie is dumb" turned into "I hate this movie". That was the last straw for me.

[@mtpstv94]

Do you realize how accurate this is to real life? It's incredibly accurate. Not the ghosts or anything but otherwise that's the way people and society is. If there were ghosts and this actually happened, it would be the same situation. 6 months later: "Ghosts, what ghosts? What have you done for us?". Or there would be some liabilities or lawsuits. They would go after the Ghostbusters for tax evasion or some shit. I mean seriously. This kind of thing is normal in the real world. Hey you caused a million dollars in damage but we don't care that you saved the city and everyone in it.

27:53 WTF! "Sorry Winston, but you are not enough like Winston for this part" how the hell does that work?! Poor guy...

[@travtotheworld]

26:50 I legitimately think that is Dan Aykroyd in his outfit from Christmas with the Kranks. Is he actually doing a random interview on the supernatural while filming that movie?

[@Louie_The_Dago]

i just googled it. Youre right.

[@Guryguazu]

Holy shit, you're right, did he filmed this by himself in between takes? What the hell?

If you rearrange the letters in "Christmas With The Kranks", you get: "What rethinks sham tricks?" Need I say more? ;) #UFO #Area51 #PureGlycolFreeVodka

Dan Akroyd is literally my dad. Same energy about UFOs and the supernatural. I wonder what that is about a person to be so absolutely certain of such things...

[@dolanddrumpf6344]

Why not hear your dad out and have him explain why he believes whatever he believes instead of discrediting his opinions? Are you so certain if what you believe is true?

[@fizikz9647]

Same I cant watch them with out the other.

[@AQuiveringBush]

Yep, I don’t understand the hate. You could pick apart Ghostbusters 1 because they’re both very silly movies. The river of slime, the photos of Vigo developing and the Scalary brothers scenes genuinely scared me as a kid.

[@TheElectricMayhem]

And the soundtrack is 🔥

[@scottianson5133]

Me too.

[@horaciosi]

"Rare breed"? Other than me, Siskel, Ebert and these guys, *EVERYBODY loves this movie.* What is it with people saying that Ghostbusters II is hated? Everyone says the exact same thing: "It's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be". Stop pretending GBII is universally hated, I'm sick of it!

I am glad to hear the pretentiousness went way back to childhood. I am glad you guys put forth as much effort as Bill did making this video.

[@disqorddoge1101]

The slime was a form of ectoplasm but it’s a psycho Magno Ætheric ectoplasm which is effected by certain psychokinetic forces including human emotional states. When significantly charged in one way or another it can animate inanimate objects, alter human emotional states and provide a source of concentrated psycho kinetic energy which can be used by ghosts to manifest. The Scaleri Brothers ghosts were likely always hanging around there but they didn’t previously have the power to manifest or manipulate physical objects. The slimes actual origin was explained in the video game that it was being generated by a Slor that was brought to our dimension by Ivo Shandor and his cult. Shandor was able to refine the slime into different kinds including the pink slime in GB2.

I feel like the proton pack beam is a little bit more powerful than a simple "ghost lasso" Isn't basically a nuclear laser beam? In the first movie they show it just blast normal shit apart. It being used as a weapon against Vigo makes sense.

[@GeorgeMonet]

It depends. The first time they used the proton packs the beams just set some stuff slightly on fire.

Well done mate. Great to have these with matching visuals. Much appreciated!

I usually have these playing in the background while I'm editing work related things and at 27:08 Dan Aykroyd sounded like Mike doing a Dan Aykroyd impression. I had to watch it again to be sure. What a mesmerizing man.

I saw it in New York while I was in the American Numismatic Society summer program for grad students together with one of my fellow students. Afterwards we both agreed that it was disappointing that the script writers hadn't studied Neoplatonic theurgy more.

I remember some of those deleted scenes from the TV cut of the film. It's interesting how, back in the day, that was the only way to see deleted scenes, and for a few of them that's the only way they've survived if someone managed to record them onto a VHS.

[@bobdeinterlace]

Good to know that they're aware of the video game although Mike will never play it because he's elderly.
