    How the Ghostbusters got their revenge on Peck. By flooding his house with popcorn.

    It's taken more than 35 years but the laser is finally a reality. No word on whether or not it makes popcorn.

      I'm assuming you mean a laser that powerful. Because otherwise, we've had lasers for a while now.

      2 things that, in my very humble opinion, get said too much on youtube.
      1. Underrated.
      2. Best comment ever.
      Gotta say this qualifies for both, as far as I'm concerned. 11 likes is a sin for this kind of wit.

    In the credits "Special Thanks To LAPIDUS POPCORN, INC." - In Real Genius, "Lapidus Popcorn, Inc." is credited as part of the production, specifically linked to the iconic popcorn scene. Lapidus Popcorn, Inc. was one of the suppliers that provided real popcorn for the scene. Over 140 tons of popcorn were used, making it a significant logistical challenge. The production team had to use specially treated popcorn, including some with fire retardant, to ensure safety during filming. The popcorn was continuously popped for months to achieve the effect​. Lapidus Popcorn, Inc. was a popcorn supplier incorporated in California in 1971. There is little information publicly available about Lapidus Popcorn, Inc., and it appears the company primarily operated in the context of food supply and distribution, but is no longer active.

    Great scene but I would have had the popcorn bring the whole house down, although it would seem that it would have to be demolished probably.

    My name is Kent and I was born in 85.
    I think I have this name because of this lame movie.
    It’s nots even the cool guy. It’s the goofy guy by himself.

    • @zenbrooklyn
      @zenbrooklyn 15 днів тому +1

      Actually in the 80s the name Kent was synonymous with upper class, wealthy, sophisticated well educated guys. This guy was a jerk but he was wealthy lol! Also it's Superman's secret last name. Not so bad.😊

      It's an '80s movie. Take it for what that's worth.
      Just see it when you've got nothing else to do. It's not deep, it's got plot holes and wild scientific and technical inaccuracies, but it's fun, particularly for some rising star named Val Kilmer.
