Line 14:
* [[Real Life Relative]]: Ivan Reitman's son and future director Jason Reitman plays the boy at the birthday party in the beginning who tells Ray "My dad says you guys are full of crap", and Jason's sister plays the girl with the puppy in Egon's experiment.
* [[Throw It In]]: There are varying accounts of how much of the final films were improvised, from a few select lines to a good majority of the films.
** A definite example is the majority of Louis' party in the first film, which was not only one continuous take, but almost entirely improvised.
** In the Ghostbusters' commercial, Egon looking down to find his mark was an actual flub by Harold Ramis that everyone agreed fit the character.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: For a great movie, ''Ghostbusters'' varies tremendously from its original concept. Aykroyd's original script called for multiple groups of ghostbusters who traveled through time and fought ghosts in different dimensions. This idea was rejected as technically unfeasible in 1985; supposedly, the special effects would have cost over $300 million. Ivan Reitman re-purposed the script as a "going into business" story to make it more accessible to audiences.
** Many actors were switched out or not intended as their original performers.
