So for those wondering about Slimers backstory-He was never a person. The Cult of Gozer tried to summon a spirit to use as a weapon in the 1920's-but ended up accidently creating a ectoplasmic being of pure gluttony with a never ending hunger, the slimer we all know and love
@Brandon 'I love Cait Jackson' Rachal Well, he kind of was a good ghost on "The Real Ghostbusters" cartoon where the Ghostbusters wondered why he didn't escape away with the other ghosts as the containment unit exploded where Winston thought it was for free food, Peter thought he wanted to make another attempt to slime him, and Janine thought maybe he was lonely and the other ghosts ignored him while the Ghostbusters are the only ones who paid attention to him.
I know the special effects for Slimer were expensive back in the day but I’m glad the producers had him helping Rick Moranis’ character with the bus ride. I hope Slimer helps the new Ghostbusters in Frozen Empire again.
I was really happy to see Slimer's return in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. And the best part of it is that practical effects had once again been used for Slimer, and he looked like how he had appeared in the 1984 film. The scenes of Slimer from Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire should be added to this as well.
Underrated line: "Venkman, shorten your stream, I don't want my face burned off." It lends to the reality of GB1, showing how these characters are normal people who are flawed, clumsy and fumble around with new technology. It avoids a "Mary Sue"-style characterization where characters just zip through the movie with perfect skill and never encounter obstacles.
@@CorpCoral The reboot was a mess and it was not the fault of the actresses. Each one of those women is talented and funny, but the direction, writing, editing, and cinematography were subpar and thats 100% Feig’s fault. Like I can get into all the film school stuff about how the narrative beats were clumsy, how the scene compositions were overly cluttered, how his camera placement is fine for Television but not cinema, or his clumsy, hamfisted handling of franchise callbacks but I don’t really need to. The actresses would have done an excellent job if they had something to WORK with, and they are not at fault for the movie being subpar. They are each of them funny, talented, proven capable comedic actresses. Paul Feig shit the bed, and when you combine that with studio imposed focus-group tested interference you get a flop.
@@orbitalbutt6757 I'll be honest, what made me like Ghostbusters 2016 (or the subtitle Answer the Call) is Kate McKinnon and Chris Hemsworth's characters. There are some moments of the reboot I didn't like, but Holtzmann and Kevin really saved it for me.
@@Shanethefilmmaker I understand where you're coming from, though when I look back on the 2016 film sure there are *some* "Mary Sue" moments, but the part where the girls are testing their own Proton Packs reminded me of the original. Melissa McCarthy's character, Abby Yales, where she's flying around in the air with a super-charged Proton Pack like those water hover-packs did make me laugh. It's a parallel to the original boys where both Ghostbusters are using untested equipment that may or may not lead to accidents or even worse upon themselves.
Whether as a mischievous ghost like the rest or a friend to the Ghostbusters, either way, there is no doubt that Slimer would still be a fan-favorite ghost to this day.
Yeah =) The way I see it with Slimer, it's his appearance, how he can make such a huge mess and be mischievous that makes him such a fan favorite. :) The Real Ghostbusters amplified his character after he was one of the few ghosts not contained after the destruction of the first containment unit at the firehouse by Peck's actions, and it led him to be a pretty recognizable part of the Ghostbusters mythos.
@@BryonYoungblood Yep. When Ghostbusters: The Video Game was made and released in 2009, the designers had Slimer be a mischievous ghost instead of having him be a friend to the Ghostbusters. The same thing was originally intended to be done for The Real Ghostbusters too when I had first seen the promo pilot.
@@BryonYoungblood If I had to choose whether to have Slimer be a mischievous ghost or a friend to the Ghostbusters, I would have to say...mischievous. If I were a ghostbuster, Slimer would be the ghost that I would want to capture.
Jurassic World did it with the trained and friendly dinos. They didn't seem to see the opportunity on GB2. If Slimer can drive a bus, he can shoot a proton pack.
There IS a deleted scene of Tully attempting to catch slimer, which is where the shot of him from the end of the movie was supposed to be used, slimer in the reflection of a small mirror on Louis' glasses. After almost frying Janine with the particle thrower, she tells him, "Oh him? oh he's alright" Fully confirming canonically they keep him as a pet/guinea pig. This is also fully realized in the video game released in the mid 2000s, with Slimer sitting docile in an ecto display case in the foyer of the Firehouse.
Looking back at Ghostbusters ll, the production team definitely added in some elements from the cartoon. -Helpful Bus Driver Slimer -Egon’s pompadour -Janine’s look -Winston no longer having his mustache -The lighter tone
@@VEE0034 He did the voice of Venkman first. When he was replaced with Dave Coulier, it coincided with the cartoon becoming cheesier and more childish.
Slimer is like a ghost with a dog like nature, cute, sometimes slimy and ugly, simple, fun, stinky, friendly......but my god they are a good thing to have around
I always liked Slimer just hanging out in Ghostbusters 2. I know his popularity was based on the TV show (and some people might not like that he took over the show later on) but it’s still fun that there’s one ghost that the crew doesn’t mind having around (except for Peter that is)
I dont know how they come up with this but slimer spinning and moving fast when attacked and then the arm waving and wierd panting as if its turning a corner. amazing detail

@@Y2Kr4SHM4N This is the first sequel I know of that's directed by the child of the original director. That alone means we should give it the benefit of the doubt. I know GB2 didn't really work but Ivan Reitman has been very open about that movie not coming together and Murray has been somewhat critical of GB2 also. So both of the guys who didn't like GB2 are saying this one is very good. If Star Wars 7 had been directed by George Lucas' son, we would've expected it to follow his original storylines. Well, here we have a movie that is firmly part of the "family" with the originals.

Slimer driving the bus and offering a ride to Louis is such a great nod to kids who watched the cartoon where Slimer was something between a friend/intern/pet to the ghostbusters. Its such a great short scene; Slimer should have had more screentime though.
Same here. I understand why they changed him though. The new puppet looks more like he did in the cartoon, and was more advanced with a more expressive face.
@@Rocket1377 I dont think GB2 slimer looks like the cartoon at all. Cartoon slimer was created after the original movie, so it more closely resembles the 1984 design that it was based on. GB2 slimer is way too big, it looks like he has a distinct separate head (as opposed to one big blob like the original), the cheekbones are ridiculously exaggerated, and he has 3 giant belly rolls that the original and the cartoon dont have. I never liked GB2 slimer just cuz it deviated so much from the original AND the cartoon. Actually 2016 slimer is more faithful overall to the design of the original, than GB2 is.
@@hrs2044 Agreed, GB2's slimer just looks like a fan's build of the character gone wrong. The cartoon Slimer looked a lot more like the one in GB1 than the one in GB2.
Wasnt there a story where Slimer was the only one who somehow keeps escaping the containment grid is how he ended up being the firehouse pet for the ghostbusters? Lol
rw:second to Casper,he's one ghost who's friendly back in the 80s even on live action.^_^,FUNFACT :idea for Slimer was rly from John Belushi when he played as Bluto from ANIMAL HOUSE.^_^
In hindsight, considering that crossing the streams could actually destroy the entire Earth, they really should've just built one Proton Pack, or had a rule where only one guy gets to fire at a time. Every scene they use them, the streams always come within, like, two inches of each other.
For all those curious, Slimer as we know him today, was created by special effects artist Steve Johnson while on a cocaine-fueled bender in which he, in his own words, "was visited by John Belushi's ghost, which told me to make the ghost in his likeness." So with no other input other than a vision of John Belushi he created the finished Slimer in time for filming.
"the FLOWERS are STILL STANDING." Most underrated Peter quote ever.
Also, that moment by Bill Murray was improvised.
I love that scene for no reason
I love how Louis just gets in the bus casually and his only comment is “I didn’t know you had your license”

Slimmer eats a lot of junk food 😆😆😆😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Huge fan of your Ghostbusters
slimers the best character 🤣
It was a bummer that he didn’t show up in Ghostbusters Afterlife. It would’ve been fun
I know. Such a shame.
Slimer is quite a character.
For all those curious, Slimer as we know him today, was created by special effects artist Steve Johnson while on a cocaine-fueled bender in which he, in his own words, "was visited by John Belushi's ghost, which told me to make the ghost in his likeness." So with no other input other than a vision of John Belushi he created the finished Slimer in time for filming.
Haha this is the best "fun fact" of the movie prod
Slimer with hotdogs in thumbnail was hilarious 😂😂
You forgot one. At the end of the first movie as the Ghostbusters are driving away, slimer comes towards the camera and that's when it fades to black
They play it at the very beginning of the video.
@Stefano Pavone apparently that never happened
@Stefano Pavone Incorrect. I was there 1989. No Slimer coming towards camera at the end of GB2. Only appearance in the end credits with name.
