Ghostbusters: Difference between revisions

Line 41:

The films produced a popular [[Animated Adaptation]] ''[[The Real Ghostbusters]]'', which had its own [[Spin-Off]], ''[[Extreme Ghostbusters]]''. As a rule of thumb, they aren't in continuity with the movies (and the later video game) but are otherwise based on the same story and [[Magic A Is Magic A|internal principles]] that the movies introduced. Any tropes applying to those series belong on those pages.

There was also a [[Role Playing Game]] developed by West End Games; set after the first movie, the players were cast as owners/employees of a ''Ghostbusters'' franchise in their local community. In addition to ghosts, adventure hooks could feature encounters with other paranormal creatures and incidents, including vampires, aliens, and time-travelers. A revised version of the game, ''Ghostbusters International'', was published in 1989 following the release of ''Ghostbusters II''. It was eventually named as one of "The Millennium's Most Underrated Games" by ''Pyramid'' magazine.

** Later, when they're about to call the final battle a victory, he looks into the painting and {{spoiler|gets possessed by Vigo.}}

* [[Night Vision Goggles]]: A slightly modified set of ''actual'' night vision goggles is made to be the "ecto goggles" and part of the Ghostbusting gear, supposedly allowing them to see ghosts who have turned themselves invisible. It's seen on everyone in the first movie, used memorably by Ray in the hotel and seen briefly a few times in the second movie. The game makes it into a major gameplay mechanic in tracking down ghosts.

* [[Non-Action Guy]]: Rick Moranis' character, Louis. Though he does [[Took a Level In Badass|take a level in badass]] in the second movie.

* [[Noodle Incident]]

** Mentioned in the first film is that time Egon tried to drill a hole in his head. This is an actual procedure, called 'trepanation', which is sometimes claimed to confer psychic powers. "That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me." (Which was allegedly a [[Throw It In]] from Harold Ramis.)
