Fun fact: When the maid says, "What the hell are you doing?" She's actually saying that to the crew because she had no idea the explosions were going to be so big. Scare the crap out of her. LOL
That’s hilarious 😂
I NEVER knew that lol
Wow, and she was professional enough to continue to act out the scene. What a champ.👏
When Venkman mentions the time Spengler tried to drill a hole in his head, Spengler's response ("That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me") was actually ad-libbed by Harold Ramis.
I think Ray’s line, “Listen! Do you smell something?” is one of the funniest ad libs ever! 😂😂
Dan Akroyd wrote helped write the movie. Technically, that's just a rewrite.
@@jkhoover If it's thrown-in during filming of a scene with no one else aware it's about to be said it's an ad-lib no matter who says it. Even co-writer Dan Aykroyd.
Definitely.
That's the funniest line in the film! 😂
Almost no reactors I've watched even catch it, but its one of my fav lines as well lol
And watch Venkman as he sniffs the air around him
Fun fact a lot of people seem to miss the key master locks themselves out multiple times throughout this movie
How are they missing it? This comment is litterally on every reaction video to this movie.
@@teddybeer6206 perhaps it’s them coming to realization in retrospect
I'd say one thing most are missing is the "key" and "gate" part. He has a key for her gate....
When Louis Tully mingles with his party guests (commenting on the price of the salmon, and so on), the scene is one continuous shot, and almost entirely improvised.
The scene in the Ghostbusters HQ was improvised by him as well.
@@Caseytifyand would've done in one take.
I believe the tall blonde he dances with was Casey Kasem's wife.
The reason why his lines were so natural is because he is a tax accountant before he was an actor.
@@brucechmiel7964 yep
Great reaction. What I always think separates this “Ghostbusters” film from the others is the perfect balance of comedy, horror, and sci-fi. When it’s creepy it’s full on creepy. They don’t undercut the horror with cheap jokes to lighten the mood. They have great dialogue like Winston’s “Dead rising from the grave speech”. Then when they have a comedy bit, it’s genuinely funny. They make sure to ground the film in the real world too. Outside of the Ghostbusters, the rest of the world is realistic. Which makes the threat feel real. Even something as silly as the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. But if you make the world seem just as unrealistic as the sci-fi, the stakes don’t feel real. A good science-fiction film makes you feel it could happen. By grounding it.
I agree. This was definitely the best one. The second one couldn't match its brilliance. The second was entertaining, but just didn't feel as perfect. Ghostbusters Afterlife, entertaining too, but a different sort of feel. Hard to even try to compare that one.
The other thing that separates it from the rest is that it's a good movie.
The second one amps up the horror element though. Maybe it overshadows the comedy in it though, as you say not as balanced.
Fun movie fact - The girl having a birthday party at the restaurant Louis was trying to get into to escape the terror dog, was a pop singer Debbie Gibson, in her very first movie role.
WHAT!? I never knew that! I knew who Debbie Gibson was too. Now I need to watch that scene again.
The blonde woman at Louis Tullys party was the wife of radio personality Casey Kasem (whose voice also appears in the movie). She came under scrutiny when he passed away, because it was suspected she was withholding medical treatment from him.
No way, she's Debbie Gibson?! I couldn't recognise her in that outfit. I still have some of her hit tracks like 'Shake Your Love' and 'Out Of The Blue', etc.
You can't see her. You only see her ponytail
Couple things.
1. There IS a video game, and it is the last time Harold Ramis portrayed Egon before he passed in 2014.
2. The 2016 movie is a reboot and not in continuity with the rest of the movies.
3. As mentioned before, Harold Ramis, who played Egon and cowrote the first two movies, passed away before Afterlife was made. Some reactors didn't know that before watching Afterlife, and it affected their reaction.
So stoked you brought up the videogame before I did..I seem to recall an interview with Dan back then when he said, "..the game is the third movie." Jeez, gotta be more than 15yrs ago now. My GF at the time had a young son..he was enraptured as I showed him how to get through some of the boss fights. That's the magic of gaming. For a few hours..I *was* a Ghostbuster. Didn't mind that "Afterlife" was mostly fanservice (I'm a fan, and felt well served), and anticipate "Frozen Empire" with high hopes.
"I'll believe anything if there's a steady paycheck in it." -Winston Zeddemore
obviously games, plural
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ghostbusters_video_games
The 2009 video game is one of the few games I have on multiple platforms, I have the original on my Xbox 360, and the “remastered” version on my Nintendo Switch.
The only major difference between the two is the lack of product placement for a certain mass-market brand of nacho cheese and ranch tortilla chips…
Fun fact: Ghostbusters Video Game for Xbox 360/Ps3, is actually the 3rd movie. Afterlife is #4.
And of course there were other games in the C64 + NES era.
The film was nominated for two Oscars (Visual Effects and Original Song) but won nothing. It did win a BAFTA for the song.
It's a real shame, it deserved so much more.
When this movie was filmed, paper bags were still more common than plastic bags, and yes, carrots had green stems. I still have some of my mom's Corning Ware with that same pattern.
Unfortunately, paper bags are now back in use as the primary bag in my state, as our legislature's top priority seems to be regulating what bags and containers can be used in stores.
I was about to comment that the dish must be CorningWare or CorelleWare. I dropped a Corelleware plate washing dishes once and it cracked a ceramic bowl cleanly in half when it landed.
Two firehouses were used in this movie. One of them was in downtown L.A. and the other was the Ladder 8 house in NY. the Ladder 8 house in NY has the Ghostbusters sign hanging in the apparatus bay. Back before Fire Departments and private ambulance companies many funeral homes ran their hearse as an ambulance. That is why the hearse had a red beacon on it.
I visited New York in the late '90s, and happened to be in that neighborhood. The people I was with walked me by there, and the door happened to be open. The sign was prominently displayed on the wall.
I've heard that building has since been sold and converted into something else.
The Ghostbusters secretary plays in the tv show young Sheldon as the grandmother now,shows you how old this movie is
The great Annie Potts! Nobody ever comments on her! Shes had a number of TV and movie roles, such as Designing Women, Bo Peep in Toy Story, Dangerous Minds, and others.
This was her breakout role.
she was also in old TV show Designing Women
"The Real Ghostbusters" cartoon series is a worthy continuation of the movie. By the time the second movie came out, younger kids raised in that time were more familiar with the cartoon than the movie.
The Ghostbusters cartoon actually helped shape the sequel movie, they made several changes to the characters to make them more similar to their cartoon counterparts they toned down some of the adult elements like that smoking and made Janine and Slimer look more like in the animated series.
Great reaction to this 80s classic Amelia...
In the movie 'Casper', Dan Aykroyd has a funny cameo as Ray Stanz the Ghostbuster and he says the line to the new home owners after seeing Casper & his brothers, "Who are you gonna call?...somebody else" and runs off, lol 😂
His neutrona wand is also broken in that scene. So the Ghostly Trio almost certainly did something that damaged his equipment.
@@filthycasual8187 - they must have really scared the crap out of him for sure, lol 😆
I think most every family had that floral dish in the 80s.
The floral design is part of the Corning Ware brand. True, my parents and grandparents had them.
my mother still has some that belonged to her mother
Almost none of the scenes were filmed as scripted, most had at least one ad-lib. Most of Bill Murray's lines are ad-libs.
The sequence where Louis is trapped against the restaurant window and the patrons “can’t see him”, they can see him just fine, they just don’t care, this visual gag works on multiple levels;
1; New Yorkers have a reputation of being very self centered and generally jerks, since it wasn’t them that was in danger, they didn’t care
2; this was filmed at the famous ‘Tavern on the Green’ restaurant, which at the time was beloved by the New York ‘elites’ and ‘high rollers’, who were very ‘socially conscious’ in that they didn’t want to be seen associating with poor people, they didn’t care what was happening to Louis because it was happening to one of ‘The Poors’, they were being the stereotypical rich snobs
It was an offhanded slap in the face to the rich jerks and snobs
Came here to say this
Paper bags were the standard until "save the trees" pushed the adoption of plastic bags starting in the late 60s. The greens on carrots, turnips, radishes, etc were to show that they were just picked locally. Fresh, local apples also had a leaf or two left on the stem. Until the 70s, fruits and vegetables had seasons when they were available, but the root crops and apples could come from storage. Frozen concentrated orange juice allowed orange juice to go from seasonal to year 'round after World War II. When air freight costs dropped, the foreign sourcing of fruits, vegetables and flowers made everything year-'round.
I saw this in the cinema with my cousin and our parents. We got to the scene with the fridge and Fido roaring “Zuul”, and my cousin ran out screaming. My uncle had to give chase.
There were quite a few Ghostbusters games, but the most important one was the one which featured the original cast as voice actors and is generally considered to be "Ghostbusters 3"
Fun Fact: Paddi Edwards, who did the voice of Gozer, also did the voices of Flotsam and Jetsam, Ursula's pet eels in The Little Mermaid (1989)
Holy... That was Gozer voicing them?! I never knew that!
A small detail, that not everyone gets (i only noticed it, because a friend told me so): When Peter and the Hotel Manager discussed the prices, the three Ghostbusters at first didn't had any idea, what the payment should be. But when Egon raised his hand with the different numbers of fingers to his face, that was his way to tell Peter, what they needed for payment
The main reason very few people see it is because a whole generation saw the cropped TV 4:3 version on cable and vhs, until wide-screen viewing you couldn't see it.
@@mikecostello737most people didn’t notice it until the Nostalgia Critic pointed it out in one of his Top 11 videos
I was 6 when this came out and I still never tire of watching it. I used to watch the 80s cartoon as well "The Real Ghostbusters". It's nice to see the franchise get new life with the 2 latest movies. Ghosts weren't the only thing big in the 80s. The whole horror genre was in full swing. You of course had the major franchises with Michael, Jason, Freddy, Chucky and all. But, there was so much more. Movies like "The Howling", "Silver Bullet", "Fright Night", the 1988 remake of "The Blob", the 1986 remake of "The Fly", Phantasm 1 and 2, and horror comedies like "Return of the Living Dead" and "Night of The Creeps" were all fantastic movies. The direct to video market was booming back then and smaller studios offered many titles at the local video rental stores that you wouldn't see in theaters. Studios like Empire Pictures, Roger Corman's New World Pictures, and Full Moon gave us great classics like 'Galaxy of Terror", The Puppet Master" franchise, "Trancers", "Dollman", "Scanners" and C.H.U.D. Most of these movies are free to watch on Tubi and other steaming services. The budgets are small, the acting isn't the best and the effects are a mix of good to terrible. But these movies have a certain charm to them. Many of them prove that you don't need a huge budget to make a movie that returns huge profits. Hopefully, we'll see a reaction or two to these screen gems. If anything, they are fun to watch.
The crazy sense of humor and the special effects are golden! The cast was incredible and everything worked like a charm. It will leave you with more than one set of sore ribs from laughing so hard!
This was the highest-grossing comedy of all time until Home Alone (1990).
That’s so cool! Home Alone is a favorite for my mom and I (we’re big Christmas movie people) we watch it every year!
If someone asks if you're a god, you say "Yes". If they ask if you're Sarah Conner, say "No"!
🤣
keep in mind the THRID movie is not he 2016 film, it is the 2021 film
2016 is still worth a watch it’s fun if anything just for Chris Hemsworth’s performance.
@@drkblde I found it meh, too much of the film script was "funny person says something funny here" and a lot of those things didn't land
*third
@@AddSeriousI didn't laugh once during that movie. I do recall facepalming a few times though.
@@drkblde No one should ever watch that horrible thing even under a threat of a slow and painful death. I felt my brain liquefying in the theater when I watched that pile of shit.
And I have no idea how they made Chris participate in that torture but it was physically painful seeing him act out that terrible excuse of a "script".
My Mother got the complete Corning Ware flowers pots and pans and the dinning set when we moved in 1980, like the pot in the frig.
Correct, no computer images, everything is animated and old school special effects. Some miniature work and stuff.
Don't know if anybody mentioned this already, but SNL cast member, the late John Belushi (who had previously co-starred with Dan Aykroyd in the original Blues Brothers), was originally supposed to co-star with Aykroyd in this film, and the original script that Aykroyd had written had the two travelling through time fighting supernatural threats, but due to Belushi's death and the concept being deemed financially impossible, Harold Ramis was hired to help rewrite the script. Also, the design of Slimer (or Onionhead as he was originally called (don't ask)) was created by Steve Johnson who based the little fella on Belushi (who the character of Venkman was originally written for) at the request of Ramis and Aykroyd. Johnson recalled the project being a NIGHTMARE to complete. He claimed that he thought Belushi's ghost came to help him while he was three grams into the night he was working on fulfilling the request and "in a cocaine-induced delusional paranoia". His words, not mine. And this request came to him last-minute. Edit: After the film's release, a lot of people thought William Atherton, the guy who played Walter Peck, was the same as the character. I'm not kidding! If you ask me, this sounds like a case of people taking the actor's performance TOO seriously. I mean, I get it why they did it, 'cause let's face it, we ALL hate Walter Peck in the film, but I hear Atherton's actually a nice guy in real life. 2nd edit: "Go get her, Ray!" As I recall, that was Venkman getting back at Ray for that "plan" he had way back in the beginning of the movie. "'Get her!' That was your plan? 'Get her'?"
One of my favorite funny moments in this movie:
Egon: Well, let’s say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. According to this morning’s sample, it would be a Twinkie…35 feet long weighing approximately 600 pounds.
Ray coughs in surprise-
Winston: That's a BIG Twinkie
😆🤣
That was a favorite trope in old B scifi movies. It was also used a lot during the Apollo coverage.
@@Caseytify What was? Twinkies??? 😕
Until the late 80s, paper bags were the common option. Then the treehuggers told us we should save the rainforest by switching to plastic grocery bags. Now 40 years later, paper is being pushed to save the environment from plastic.
Is “he-urs” a regional pronunciation for hearse? Can’t say I’ve heard that before.
It was a mispronunciation I guess lol
The car is actually an ambulance. My father worked with the man that owned it. Sure he's passed on by now. He was older than dad and he passed 11 years ago
@@andreadeamon6419 that's a great little detail that remains interesting while also having nothing to do with the mispronunciation of the word "hearse"!
When Egon switches on the other proton pack and starts to back away😂😂😂
You should get a box of Twinkies... You can do a Taste Test while reacting to "Zombieland" (There IS a correlation in the Movie).
The Bookshelf wasn't supposed to fall over in the Library. And the guys just riffed off of it.
People usually don't get the Irony that the "Key Master" kept getting locked out of his own apartment.
Naw if you are going to do a reaction powered by Twinkies the movie would have to be to Die Hard (1988). I think the only way Twinkies could get more screen time would be a documentary on the making of.
And the Gatekeeper kept on deflecting his advances.
In '83 there were no computer effects in mainstream films. Before CGI, film makers relied on matte paintings, foreground models, rear projection, stop-motion, etc. Contrary to modern belief, there were very good effects before computers (see "The Thing"). The entire rooftop temple was a giant set designed by production designer John DeCuir, and surrounded by a huge painted cyclorama background. The facade of the apartment building is a real building on Central Park West, but they extended it upward with a matte painting to create Dana's apartment and the temple. There was also a studio version of the facade, where they created the buckling pavement effect. The fire station exterior is a still-functioning fire station in New York (which still has the Ghostbusters sign), the interior was a real abandoned fire station in California. Close examination of the front interior and front exterior reveal that they aren't identical. And that's why when the Ecto 1 is seen in the firehouse doors, it is always shrouded in mist to hide the completely different interior.
John Candy was supposed to be Lewis, but he didn’t understand the character so the role went to Rick Moranis
Dogs and cats living together, can you even imagine
The cards flying out of the card catalog was a simple technique. Each had a pipe in it and production people blowing through the tubes. The scene took half an hour to an hour to reset for take 2. And the crew hated it cause they had to pick up every card and put them back.
Back when this was being filmed I was crossing Central Park West on my way home and ran into the crowd shot being filmed. I had no idea what was going on until I saw the movie.
I have seen Clint running alongside the limo in DC for In the Line of Fire, Brad Pitt filming the diner scene in Meet Joe Black, Billy Crystal and Daniel Stern in the library for City Slickers II and the explosion at Graumans Chinese Theatre for Iron Man 3 to name a few. Always fun to happen upon an iconic movie set.
Is that all?, I was staying in the Apartment when it all went down. My car was smashed to bits by that stay puffed marshmallow men.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar Why do you have a car when you have a fell beast/drake thing?
I’m glad I’m not the only one that found the librarian ghost transformation scene scary as well as when Slimer rushes down Peter. Also the scene where you see Stay Puft’s head walking behind those buildings was definitely creepy.
i like how the Liberian ghost transformation is like the monster we introverts try to keep buried all of our lives in bothersome social encounters and since she's dead she just let all out.🤣🤣
Love the Ghostbusters movies! I remember back in 84’ watching this on the big screen so can’t wait for the new one!
Back in the 80s $5 would have been a lot more than today
Never really noticed the siren sounding like a cat until you mentioned it.
Now i can't un-ear it.😩
I just noticed that this video's thumbnail is the box art for the 2009 Ghostbusters game, which originally was for the PS3 and XBOX 360 but got remastered for current gen consoles, and funnily enough, the game is set less than two years after Ghostbusters 2 and 30 years before Ghostbusters Afterlife.
12:14 I remember the hotel manager telling the Ghostbusters in the 2009 game: "This hotel does not have a 13th floor! None of the grand hotels do!"
This was followed by two direct sequels, two animated series, a reboot, videogames and an upcoming sequel. Eddie Murphy turned down a supporting role in this to star in Beverly Hills Cop, despite co starring with Dan Akroyd in Trading Places. Other comedies featuring the stars of this include Caddyshack and Stripes. Dan Akroyd currently hosts a HISTORY channel series called The UNBELIEVABLE
Eddie Murphy even expressed that he considers it one of his career regrets, not being able to do both movies. Of course, his prior commitment to _Beverly Hills Cop_ didn’t really do his career any harm either, being such an enormously successful movie as well. It seems to have been impossible for him to lose either way in 1984.
@@0okamino too bad the sequels don't hold up as well
@@15blackshirtI think BHC2 isn't bad, as long as you're just looking for more BHC. Not better, and not really different, just more. I guess that's a large part of the disparity between it being another big hit at the box office, while being a big miss for most of the critics side of things, and certainly not having the same longevity. When you get to BHC3, though, it's all too obvious that it was unsuccessfully trying to keep reaching way too far beyond the prime of the first movie.
"Laser Happy" was the name of my band in college!
🆒
4:33 ectoplasm. The residue from an ethereal encounter.
Dan Aykroyd, is that you?
The "real" thing is supposed to evaporate almost immediately, so getting a sample would be nearly impossible.
@@Enthymene true, but in this reality spirit energy lasts longer, ectoplasm is more condensed, and ghosts form.
Hey there, just stumbled upon your channel because of this reaction and I must say this is the perfect reaction to the film. Tension, fear, joy, laughs. Fantastic watch and reaction. This is my all time favorite movie. Subscribed and cheers.
So glad you enjoyed! Welcome! :)
Ghostbusters II
released 35 years ago today ~ June 16th 1989
Fun fact: The composer of the Ghost Buster title song was sued for Theft of music and had a huge judgment against him. Also the ditsy blond dancing with the host of the party when the monster came out of the closet in real life was the wife of Casey Kasems. In the big battle with the Stay Puff man Punk Rockers in the crowd were my cousins who had a business called rent a Punk! As an aside "soil liquefaction" is a real thing and it causes buildings, automobiles, and even people to sink in the ground during strong earthquakes! Yes the end of days is real too...
8:00 Something interesting I recently learned about why they still use brown paper bags in movies and tv: apparently they are actually made of some type of fabric, because real paper/plastic bags make too much noise on set and interferes with how they record the dialogue.
One of the truly great things about this movie is the background music..It just sets the perfect vibe for the movie.
One of the great subtle jokes in the movie is that Rick Moranis's character is "The Keymaster", and he keeps locking himself out of his apartment.😆
Amelia! I always love seeing your reactions and this film is brilliant, so I'm glad you got to watch it. Yeah, Bill Murray does do a fantastic job in these kinds of roles. They are all on top form in this. Great reaction!
To answer your question, there have been ALOT of GB games. But the better question is "good" Ghostbusters games. And I've played 2. 1 is a 1989 game on the Sega Genesis simply called Ghostbusters. However, in 2009(and remastered in 2019) was a game that Harold(Egon) and Dan(Ray) wrote. As they did with Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II. It was the last project Harold worked on before he died. The 09 game was considered the 3rd film. That is until Ghostbusters Afterlife came out 2 years ago
There have been several Ghostbusters video games but of all the ones that I have played the one that I think is the best was Ghostbusters: The Video Game from 2009. It was released originally on multiple consoles, but the best versions were either on the PS3 or Xbox 360. It was remastered for the PS4 and Xbox One if I'm not mistaken. The original cast returned as their characters and the script was written by Dan Akroyd and Harold Ramis. For a long time, it was the closest thing to a third movie we thought we were ever going to get, until the release of Ghostbusters: Afterlife
In regards to the flying library cards, they simply had a fan behind the stacks blowing them around.
My favorite film, My number 1. Saw it in 1988 I was 5, It scared me than, But started my love of horror, Acted at Haunted Houses from 98-2019. I hurt my spine, It got hard to chase drunk folks. But this movie started it.
I saw this movie in the theater in 1984 when I was 9. I agree Ernie Hudson is a mix of Tim Curry and Eddie Murphy.
34:57 - As a matter of fact, there is! And it has a majority of the original cast for voices. Bill Murry kinda phoned it in, but everyone else is great. Only Sigourney Weaver opted not to reprise her role, so they got Alissa Milano to play the romantic interest. Dan Aykroyd has described the game as being "essentially the third movie." I know it's available on Steam and PlayStation. Just look for "Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered". If you play it, I hope you haver fun.
The theme from Gostbuster's was written by Ray Parker Jr. Wikipedia (accurate on this item) has this to say:
A lawsuit accusing Parker of basing the song's melody on Huey Lewis and the News's song "I Want a New Drug" resulted in Lewis receiving a settlement
And then Lewis violating the NDA on the lawsuit resulted in Parker getting a settlement right back.
@@WOLVERINE25THnever heard that part lol
Good reaction Amelia. Such a fun movie. I watched this on one of the best first dates of my life.
In it's day this was the top grossing comedy and put comedy's on the Hollywood financial map!
The dish you were referrng to is Corningware. It used to be made in my home state, Pa. We even had a plant here in my hometown.
Unless your mom broke the corningware dish, she still has it.
She does!
It's a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Sentinal (ambulance model). There was also a hearse model. (Pronounced like purse, or curse)
You should watch the music video for this song. It’s a treat.
And there are a lot of famous cameos in it too 😉
Anyone else notice the "Such a good song." comment came immediately after the song said "Bustin' makes me feel good"??? Lol
The first thing I heard that made me laugh was about the paper bags for groceries. In the 1980s, all groceries were in paper bags. Grocery stores didn't use plastic bags, until later in the 80s and weren't really common until the 90s. Even in the 90s, they would say, "Paper or plastic?" in grocery stores.
Also, the carrot tops still being attached were always that way in single carrots or organic carrot bunches. Only if you bought the bagged carrots did they not have tops on them.
Also, Jurrassic Park was released 9 years after this movie.
13 is unlucky and omitted from building floors because on Friday, October 13, 1307, the last stronghold of the Knights Templar was destroyed and most the knights were burned at the stake.
Oh what a classic 😊 combining Sci-Fi ,Horror and comedy into one fun filled package ,
This was huge when it came out everyone had to go see it and it really engrained itself into pop culture spawning several sequels , video games and a cool cartoon series as well
Awesome reaction Amelia .. now who you gonna call !! ? 😅👻
This movie defined my childhood, possibly one of my favorite movies growing up, that and the teenaged mutant ninja turtles movie.
in this case they don't know how big the job is beforehand.
Yes it was nominated for awards
Rick Moranis is a National Treasure and gave us so many classic memories. I will never blame him for leaving the industry to be with his family, he owed us nothing. I never noticed the clever irony of the key master constantly locking himself out as a kid, hilarious. I'm not entirely convinced that Bill Murray, just as Jeff Goldlbum are actors, they're being themselves with a camera in the room!
The scene where the ghost takes Ray's pants off was put in because Dan Aykroyd claims it actually happened to him.
First time watching your channel, great reaction looking forward to more!
The fire station is a real FDNY firehouse located in the Tribeca section of Manhattan. The Ghostbusters plaque is still there but it is in service as a working fire station (it is several blocks north of the World Trade Centre).
My mother had the same one also is called Corning ware, she used to make meatloaf in it lol
The Brown paper bag was how groceries were packed in the 80s. We didn't have plastic bags back then. There was someone to pack your groceries too.
Most wholesome reaction ever
"Bustin' makes me feel good" ;)
In the late 80s, early 90s Hi-C fruit drink had a flavor called Ecto Cooler. It was bright green and delicious!
If you ever get a craving for tiramisu at an inconvenient time, just soak a Twinkie in Kahlúa. 😀
32:24 Back before you could create whatever background with CG and put it up on a greenscreen, filmmakers used something called "matte paintings". It's a lost art by now.
30:40 "The unsung heroes." I hope you realized this was a mistake. "There's something strange...in your neighborhood. Who ya gonna call?"
A guy from Sandusky collected that year Cadillac and owned one they used in the movie. He drove through my town with the lights going once. That was awesome. Man, you're so cute. Yeah. Peace
Fun fact. Bill Murray improvised mearly every line he spoke. There was no cgi back then, everything had to be done practically and printed on to the film. Large backgrouds in old films were matt paintings. Actual had painted, a lot of work went into them.
Yes and it’s mind blowing that these effects were achieved without CGI existing.
Ghostbusters is one of those quintessential 80's movies that blends multiple genres into something that works on its own.
Oddly enough, there was a pre-existing IP belonging to a company called Filmation that was also titled The Ghost Busters (note the space between the words) with a similar premise of a team of paranormal investigators but with a much more goofy and kid-friendly tone, and included a talking gorilla as one of its team members.
You'd think that the existence of two separate properties with such similar names and premises would cause a lot of confusion. But this Ghostbusters became such a pop culture phenomenon that most people only think of it and are mostly unaware that Filmation's Ghost Busters actually exists.
There was some controversial confusion at the time. Columbia Pictures ended up making a licensing deal with Filmation for the movie title, but it didn’t include Filmation making an animated series. When Columbia Pictures decided to have DiC do the series based on the movie, Filmation opted to do their own (also using the title _GhostBusters_ without the space) as a follow-up to their _Ghost Busters_ show from the 70s.
The Filmation series was released just barely ahead of the DiC series, so DiC modified their title to _The Real Ghostbusters._ That helped with some degree of differentiation, but not all of it (which included my own confusion, as I wasn’t previously aware of the Filmation show either).
@@0okamino I saw both cartoons as a kid and enjoy them both. But The Real Ghostbusters is the better show overall.
“(note the space between the words)”
But technically this movie also has the space between the words because they’re stacked up against each other on screen, and that’s how it’s listed on movie database sites like IMDb
We saw this in a movie theater, and there were 2 small kids who said marshmallows every now and then. There are marshmallows planted in some scenes leading up to the final battle.
They KNEW...😉👍
Wow great reaction.
One of my favorite parts was when Dana was possessed and they were like
"Are you the key master?"
"Not that I know of."
And she slammed the door in his face.
😂😂😂😂
And I died laughs so hard at the part when they were like
"The power grid was cut off by d...less here."
"They caused an explosion!!"
"Is this true?"
"Yes it's true. This man has no d..."
😂😂😂😂
At 30:20 The place is definitely Central Park / Central Park West NYC but that smoking building they superimposed - it's located in Providence, R.I.
There was a video game based on this movie, for the Commodore 64. It was fun to play, by the standards of the day, and the MIDI music (Ghostbuster's theme) was awesome and way ahead of it's time for it's complexity, as well as being quite authentic to the original.
Also, the subtle gag in this movie is that the "Keymaster" is the guy who's always locking himself out of his apartment!
the 2009 game is worth a look, it explores what a third movie in the 90s would have been, plus a past plot concept all in the game, they end up developing new tools and face even a juvenile slor! THe background of Ivo Shandor is explored more too.
The best piece of trivia I have (besides my dad being an extra in the crowd during the earthquake scene), is the parts for Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson were meant to go to John Belushi and Eddie Murphy.
Films didn't use drawings for effects shots and CGI was still years away (although the first CG sequence was in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan two years earlier, it would still be years away from common use of CGI). Instead, films used matte paintings, typically executed on large panes of glass so that images could be composited into blank portions of the painting.
Twinkies were actually larger and tasted better in the '80s than they do now.
I looooooove that awesome apartment building! It's so ominous and cool.
Hi Amelia, you look lovely!😊 Well you've done it now. Now, that you've watched the first Ghostbusters film you have to watch the whole trilogy, along with the upcoming 4th film. The little green blob "Slimer" is rather famous in the Ghostbusters community. Rick Moranis is probably best known from the film "Honey I Shrunk the Kids", besides this film & the sequel. Great reactions to your very first Ghostbusters film, Amelia!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
I’ve watched the whole trilogy now! Those 2 videos will be coming soon!!
Yes in english speaking countries the number 13 is bad luck but its different in many different countries. In Japan the number 4 is unlukcy because 4 is pronounced shi(she) but death is also pronounced shi.
There was a video game released in 1984, right after the movie came out. It wasn't the easiest to play, had bad graphics but I loved it. Played it on my ZX48. A friend of mine had it on his Commodore 64 with slightly better graphics. It was also released on NES. They programmed it for 10 platforms in 6 weeks. Sold 2 million copies.
The casserole dish in the fridge looks like a popular Corning Ware pattern. That stuff lasts forever!
