Trivia:
The Ghostbusters TV Commercial, in which Louis and Janine are in bed when a ghost attacks is a rehash of scene from the first movie that was filmed but not used. Originally, before the Ghostbusters go on their first call at the Sedgwick Hotel, there was a scene with a honeymooning couple in the hotel who encounter Slimer in their bedroom and call the manager, who in turn calls the Ghostbusters. more

Factual errors: When the Con Edison Supervisor and the police man arrive where Egon, Peter, and Ray dug the whole on First Avenue, there is a subway station exit with red lights atop it. There is only one subway station on First avenue, which is the First avenue station on the L train, and all of the exits to that station have green lights atop it. more

Brilliant movie, but not as good as the first movie., 4 June 2002
10/10
Author: tangoandcash (rabidwolver830@aol.com) from Shrewberry, England

Ghostbusters II is an absolut ely brilliant movie, it really does pick up where the first movie left off and Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis are brilliant in their old roles, Peter Venkmen, Ray Stantz and Egon Spangler. Sigourney Weaver is back as Dana Barrett and this time she has a baby name Oscar. Rick Moranis is also back as Luis Tully (but now he doesn't get turned in a dog). Annie Potts is back as Janine Melnitz (the Ghostbusters' secretary). Ernie Hudson is back as Winston Zeddemore. Peter MacNicol (Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie, Ally McBeal) is really funny as the museum owner. If you haven't seen this movie, then heres a summary of it. Five years have past since the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man stomped through the streets of New York and the Ghostbusters have gone of business. But when they find some purple mood slime in the sewers of the Big Apple, that has been developed by the negative attitudes of the New Yorkers, they have to get back in to business and save New York again. Then they discover that it is all leading to one place, the museum where Dana works. The museum contains a picture that is haunted by the ghost of an evil magician that wants to take over the world and needs a body to do it in, so he chooses Dana's baby. This is a must for the fans of the first movie, I loved it.*****
