And "the Gatekeeper" tried to keep people out of hers.

So in 1984, Sigourney Weaver was just coming off the success of Alien. The GHOSTBUSTERS cast wasn't sure they could get an actress with star power like Sigourney but asked her if she wanted to audition anyway. THEY WERE NOT PREPAIRED !!! Realizing that she didn't want to be known for only one type of role, miss Weaver proceeded to get down on all fours on stage and begin barking like a dog, in order to act out her idea of being possessed by Zuul. They hired her immediately !!!!!!

Tomeisawesome. Aliens and Ghost busters put Sigourney Weaver on the map of fame in 1979 and 1984. She played two different female film characters. Ellen Ripley and Dana Barrett / Zuul " The GateKeeper".

"I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought." That is my favorite line in the movie. Fun fact: the original design for the library ghost was TOO intense. The producers didn't want to use it, so they kept it in storage; another producer liked it, and wanted to use it. That was used as Jerry's final form in the horror comedy Fright Night.

Dr. Venkman's study at the beginning is sorta viable. he is telling the girl she is correct, but she continues to be wrong. after repeatedly telling the guy he is wrong, and also shocking him, he actually got one right and may have gotten more right with more negative reinforcement

There are so many reasons this remains such a beloved classic, even after 40 years! The Car, the actors and acting, scriptwriting, music, direction etc.. They took and put in a LOT of Love into this film which made it a definite, "Lightning in a Bottle". There are many small clues with the writing, such as been noted that although he keeps locking himself out of his apartment, he is the Keymaster.. There are sutble things such as the elevatorscene when switching it on, or when Peter gets slimed.. and the reactions of his ehm , friends and collegues.

Fun fact the bit with the egg's Sigourney weaver didn't know that they were gonna start cooking so the reaction on her face was real

All of the others in the cell are just rapt with attention to the whole thing. One of the nice gags in the scene.

This is a movie that gets better and better every time you rewatch it. You just keep catching more and more little jokes. It's crazy how many gags there are. Lines you're not really thinking about when you're just watching, because they seem like normal dialogue, or silly stuff happening in the background, or you're focused on one character and the other character is doing something you didn't notice.

"Where do these stairs go?"........"They go up." My favorite line in the movie.

Bit of trivia. The actor of Walter Peck got a bad burn from the Marshmallow scene. They used shaving cream and they didnt realize he was allergic to Menthol and they accidentally used Menthol shaving cream and so he ended up with a burn rash where they dumped it on him. Also to this day he can be walking down the street and people will lean out the window of vehicles and yell "Hey Dickless" at him.

In the summer of '84 I worked at a movie theater. The three big novies that summer were GHOSTBUSTERS, THE NATURAL, and INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM. I would stick my head in to see the ending of THE NATIONAL, the human sacrifice scene in TEMPLE OF DOOM, and Sigourney Weaver in the red dress in GHOSTBUSTERS. Guess which of those three scenes I watched most often!

I don't know if you play video games much but before they released Ghostbusters Afterlife the two who wrote the first 2 movies wrote the script for Ghostbusters the video game. It was the sequel they intended to make but couldn't get things set up properly. Definitely worth at least watching the cutscenes from that game.

This is PG back when parental guidance was a bit more relaxed. 😂

The PG-13 rating for movies came out July 1st, 1984 and Ghostbusters came out a little under a month before that. Ghostbusters is definitely not an R-Rated film so it fell down to PG. It probably would have been PG-13 if it was rated by today's standards.

Police Squad has a joke about bust having both meanings in 1982. "Is this some kind of bust?" "Yes it's very impressive, but just want to ask some questions." They use the same joke in The Naked Gun 2 1/2 as well.

Both the guy that played the cop in the jail (Reginald VelJohnson) that told them that the mayor wanted to see them and the guy that played Walter Peck would go on to play similar roles in Die Hard as Al Powell and the scummy reporter. Reginald VelJohnson then played another cop as the father in Family Matters.

Yes, ECTO 1 is distracting on the road, but I guess that's it's purpose. That siren will sure get people to pull over.

Stay Puft Marshmallows are still available. They were created (for the public) after this movie. The company still makes them in batched periodically. Peter's "creepy" persona was a rampant inclusion into a great number of movies by filmmakers & sometimes actors throughout their Hollywood films thru the 80s & 90s. Just have to expect it from that era. The behavior was not criticized much during that time and was often taken lightly as unreal or exaggerated. Gozer & "It's" minions were not ghosts (They were God & Demi-gods? Big dog was more accurate in this film).

Such a classic. cant believe its been so long.

17:48 Oh my... Those legs... Sigourney Weaver... 18:50 .... ;) 19:28 Yeah. :) 21:15 "I feel like a floor of a taxi cab" 22:13 Hahaha!

Huey Lewis sued Ray Parker Jr for plagiarism over the 'Ghostbusters' theme, alleging Parker Jr ripped off his 'I Want A New Drug.' Lewis won. I'm with you: Venkman gave off major Creep vibes. I don't see how he could ever be considered 'charming' or even 'boyish.'

What a great and thoughtful look at the darkness this game sheds light on. Me and my folks ended up getting into this game and have loved it, but we were not prepared for the absolute gut punches and psychological damage that witnessing these subjects unfold would do. It's a brilliant game, and they do an incredible job of showcasing these horrible things with what feels like a balanced hand.

When drive-ins were still a thing, I saw this on a rerun. They had a special on marshmallows so that we could all throw them up in in the air on the Stay Puft scene.

18:52 I believe that back in ‘84 when there was trailers for this movie I heard Venkman saying “Okay, she’s a Gargoyle, so what” instead of saying a dog. The Ghostbusters logo with the little ghost in the traffic sign was also used with a condom instead of the ghost and the word “Aidsbuster”. 😂

It's always funny that women seem to dislike Peter Venkeman, whereas men think he's the coolest, funniest guy ever.

Winston: "Tell him about the Twinkie..." Venkman:" What about the Twinkie??" 😂

That first comment that you read was pretty apt. I mean, I was a child when it came out, so it probably made more sense for me to like it then, but looking back, it would be pretty ridiculous if it wasn't so good. In the historical progression of things, maybe we were just more welcoming and forgiving about goofy wackiness without overthinking it too much. We must've just genuinely had less expectations, and were happier to get what we could because we didn't know any better yet, and didn't have anything else for comparison yet? I honestly don't know if that was better, or just tragically sad of us compared to now, but whatever. So, the second one is even wackier, but if I'm being honest, I kind of love it for that, and think it's more endearing. There was the all female reboot a while back. I didn't see it, but it wasn't for any specific reason. I just missed it, but people have said some bad things about it, but that might've at least partially been misogynistic haters. I don't know.

Character Growth? They started a paranormal college program that collapsed and they were let go of their jobs. So the Ghostbusters took it to the next level and it grew larger and larger, from that point. Peter Venkman went from getting slimed in the hallway and leading to the battle against Gozer. Critiquing a movie from 40 years ago does not have the best special effects because they weren't available yet. In the 1980's, there were popular cartoons/movies like Star Wars, He-Man & the Masters of the Universe, Voltron, Gummy Bears, My Pet Monster, M.A.S.K., Muppet Babies, Pee Wee Herman, David the Gnome, Teddy Ruxpin, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Beetlejuice, Droids, Ewoks, Alvin and the Chipmunks, ThunderCats, C.O.P.S., etc., etc.

The people in the diner were used to seeing others getting manhandled by a huge growling demon. That's a usual Monday through Friday, on the stock exchange in the 80s. So, seeing it happen to someone at night was no biggie

Didnt know what itbwas about until concluded, but she told me about it after her research data was all collected as to not "contaminate" the process. She did at least tell me my answers actually backed her hypothesis. After it was all turned in tho, she gave me all the info of what it was all about. 2:55 PKE meter (Psycho-Kinetic Energy).
