Ghostbusters/Trivia: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* [[Deleted Scene]]: One such scene in the second movie helped explain the moment when {{spoiler|Vigo possesses Ray}} during the final showdown. During the first museum visit, the guys examine the painting of Vigo and fans may remember {{spoiler|Ray being hypnotized and needing to be snapped back to reality}}. This was supposed to lead into a sequence where {{spoiler|Vigo tries to use Ray to crash Ecto-1 and kill the Ghostbusters in a traffic accident}}. {{spoiler|Winston manages to grab the wheel and save the day, while Ray - no longer under Vigo's influence - can't account for what just happened}}. Note that a couple of clips from this sequence were used in the montage - specifically {{spoiler|Ecto-1 crossing through an intersection and Peter in the car, looking bewildered}}.

** Ben Stein has a bit part in the second film when the mayor decides to call in the Ghostbusters.

** Cheech Marin is a dock worker in the second film who witnesses the arrival of the ''Titanic'' and says, "Well, better late than never!"

** Adult film star Ron Jeremy was a crowd-scene extra in the first film; as one online commenter noted, "this was one of the few movies where he didn't [[Incredibly Lame Pun|slime anyone]]."

*** Becomes [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] once you realized that he's slated to appear in Hustler's adult spoof ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nHaU6q5SM8 This Ain't Ghostbusters XXX]''.

** And ''Max von Sydow'' is the voice of Vigo in the second film as well as the game.

** And Alyssa Milano is Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn in the game.

** The second movie was apparently supposed to start getting into the "other dimension" aspect of the mythology but that was changed at the last minute to something closer in plot to the first movie. Bill Murray was upset with the radical changes to the script and it is another reason why the third movie has been in [[Development Hell]]. Unfortunately, it is this similarity to the first movie that contributes to its overall poor reception. The Game was able to ''finally'' get into this aspect of the premise, being cheaper to do than a movie format.

** Originally Gozer was going to take the form of a man in a business suit and would have been played by Paul Reubens. Reitman was the one to devise the androgynous form at the last minute, believing it would work better as a supernatural manifestation rather than the rather mundane look. However, the Video Game's design of Ivo Shandor is said to be based upon what Paul Reubens might look like in ten or fifteen years' time.

* [[Word of God]]: Harold Ramis stated in the commentary that it was one of the first movies to use the word "slime" as a verb.
