I hate to say it but I have experienced this in work before. A bureaucrat has a hard on about something and can’t be reasoned with no matter how hard you try to explain. You eventually have to give up and calm the ache in your stomach because of the inevitable meltdown you know know will happen but they don’t understand. The worst part is they won’t take responsibility and will try to blame you for the results of them not listening to you.

Probably. Moranis is an SCTV veteran and genius comic.

Being a movie, there is some hidden gems here on interaction and cause/effect that get taken for granted in current times. The entire scene in the basement exemplifies how Peck is used to being in authority and ordering others around, even against better judgement. The utility worker flat out states, "I've never seen anything like this before" but is told to shut it off despite his own misgivings and warnings of danger. By any given logical rights, that should have been the end of the scene and them calling for an inspection to make sure no one got Hurt attempting this. Chernobyl was still 2 years from happening, but Three Mile Island was still very much a recent event and a lot closer to home for New Yorkers. Fear of a catastrophe in down town would have been prominent for everyone involved. Peck's moral rectitude in that he had to have this done, right now, no excuses. Is a fantastic portrayal of "I have authority, it has to be used" mentality, that usually leads to bad decisions, and excusing it as it wasn't Their fault the decision was bad. Great scene

So, are we to assume that the Ghostbusters never had the appropriate paperwork to run something in a business that was as dangerous as a core meltdown in a nuclear plant? Was Peck on a personal crusade because he thought the Ghostbusters were making up what they did or was another entity just telling them to send Peck to inspect the building and shut down any unauthorized utility? Guess I'll have to rewatch it.

Permits are only required after they've been made available. Since they were a group of scientists and engineers running experiments they probably had the required permits for the materials and equipment. However no one ever thought ghosts were real and these guys literally developed the tech to capture, contain, and study them. There's no permit for true newly developed tech. Peck was just on a war path because the Ghost busters wouldn't play to his belief and ego. So being the bureaucratic bug he is, he whipped up enough frenzy in the system to get other people to give him whatever he needed to screw with the Ghost Busters. Which from what I've heard about doing business in New York City is so true to life I'm amazed the city hasn't imploded already. Though they are well on their way considering it costs 5k a month for 100 sqft studio apartment and businesses are either pulling out or dieing off.

I guess the other reason Peck would hate the Ghostbusters is because, he (Peck) didn't know how dangerous it would get once the containment grid gets shut off even though Venkman warned saying not to shut it off and Egon Spengler said "if you shut that off we are not going to be held responsible" and then out of anger and fear, Peck put the blame on the Ghostbusters framing them saying that they caused the explosion.

Just came out of Cinema, watching the new “Frozen Empire”. Seeing this now is just great. They did a really great job with the new movie. R.I.P Harold Ramis

For the people bringing up the issue of backup generators: The main kill switch was shut off by Peck (or his tech guy in this case). That kill switch literally keeps any & all electricity from going past that point when turned off (pulled down), so any power coming from any generators wouldn’t make it to the machine anyway, because Peck had his guy shut it off at the main transfer switch.

You know that guy’s not a real electrician, because no one who knows what they’re doing would stand directly in front of a high voltage breaker panel while turning it off. Especially someone who’s been around this stuff long enough to have whatever job title he’s implied to have, and who’s also just been warned of a potential explosion. He’s begging to be killed by arc flash.

Cool part was when egon got pissed qnd the music starts

You hated Peck but yeah his performance was superb.

The Twin Towers balanced the skyline and looked so gorgeous

2:23 Power outages happen all the time. So if the government guys had not turned off the power, eventually this catastrophe would have happened anyways during a power outage. Or if they were smart enough to put in a back up generator, the catastrophe would have been delayed for a couple hours until the fuel for the generator ran out. But the government folks would have heard the generator turn on and would have insisted on turning that off too.

@JohnDoe-zr8pc

It’s not said one way or the other if they have backup generators, but they turned off the main kill switch that is the breaker that is directly tied into the unit. So even if they DO have generators, the power from them could not reach the unit anyway, as the circuit was off.

That would suggest that the electrician turned off the main switch to all the power in the building -- not the switch that powers the containment unit only.

You would think that a second catastrophe of ghosts being released would have occurred, but this time caused by a ghostbuster and not an EPA agent.

Considering he only went through with this because he felt insulted and went on a power trip I doubt this was ever going any other way.

Peck wasn't a public servant in this scene, he was a glory hound who wanted to be the ones to shut down 'frauds'. If he cared, he'd bring more than a electrician and a cop

This is why you keep your steel doors locked.

Peck was a phenomenal villain. He's more the main antagonist than the ghosts.

I love the fact that pack will be in this new ghostbuster's movie end. The fact that hes in charge of permits. We'll see how this place out in the new movie.

"Shut off these machines or I'll shut them off for you" | Ghostbusters (1984) | Now Scaring sounds like turning off the anti-matter containment grid for the warp core in the enterprise and the result seems to be about the same as well.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I find it shocking how this guy! Who almost destroyed half the city became the Mayor 40 years later

When films had real stories and the special effects were a part of it, not all of it.

Leave it to the government to ruin everything

Stand aside. Cease and desist. Hand over the Magpie !!

That actor plays a great a-hole. Also good in Die Hard.

should've had inverters and a generator backup system

the funny thing is peck is correct. the ghost busters built unlicensed nuclear accelerators and ghost trapping waste containment system, all on public utility grids. they did not test to see if any of that would create hazardous, dangerous, or deadly materials. and they also did not create a failsafe or backup. as soon as they shut down the power the ghosts escaped. they literally created the problem haha.

I assume they have their own generators and that was way they couldn't shut it down from the power company.

The Kill switch cuts off the power going into the unit, so with that circuit broken, the power from the generators wouldn’t reach the units.

It’s explained in frozen empire

Peck actually was right, in as much as they were operating an unlicensed and un-inspected piece of massive electricity using equipment, and had four mini proton accelerator packs, which were basically unlicensed mini nuclear reactors. However, he (like a typical bureaucrat) had “little man syndrome”, and let his ego & arrogance take over & cloud his better judgment. He should’ve ignored Venkman, and just listened to his tech, who told him he’d never seen anything like that, then called in a team of engineers & electrical experts to investigate how it worked.

I never noticed rick moranis was coping them in the begining

So. What happens if there's a power outage??

@@wildchaos630 you'd want quite a lot of standby power, wouldn't you? And probably to build the facility well away from homes and people. Peck actually kinda has a point, even if his motives are more petty bureaucratic malice than actual concern.

First rule in being an Electrician never Energize or de-energize equipment that you are not familiar with. No Electrical drawing is a red flag, I would trust more the person that wired it, before listening to a person that knows little about electrical. If the power couldn't be cut from the outside, I'm definitely not going inside throwing disconnect switches unless I haven't read prints. Legally its your license on the line if something goes wrong, warrant or not.
