at 2:16 it looks like she's looking around at the crowd, almost reassuringly as if to let them know the she's here now and going to protect them. Whether this was stop-motion, early CGI, matte, or what the animators did beautiful work with that. That's such a subtle and powerful addition.
It wasn’t animation, I’m pretty sure it was a body suit and a green screen walkthrough for the movement or simply a miniature New York, I mean it shouldn’t have been difficult to do that much.
I never noticed that detail until I read your comment! Then how she stares forward in the next shot is almost like she can see the museum and has this look of "I got this"
Fun fact: when my mom, who was really into ghostbusters, was about six years old she had a teacher who lived in New York about this time, and one day she went up to her teacher and asked: “what was it like watching the Statue of Liberty walk across the city?” Still one of my most favorite mom stories ever
4:02 From the way the Ghostbusters are cheering her on, one suspects that Lady Liberty was acting entirely without any input from them at this point. And that would be awesome.
I guess she was. Ray was only aiding her walking, because nothing else makes sense. Why would he control her other functions, they only needed to walk to the museum. She even checked the people gathered around, that's certainly her on her own (and ye olde Bobby Brown pun totally intended). It was the positively charged slime, that brought her to life.
@@Croftice1 I can imagine that. I picture her saying defiantly 'No matter what you do Vigo, no matter how long it takes, the forces of freedom shall always triumph over tyranny! For Liberty! For Freedom!' before smashing open the glass roof with her torch.
Me 20 years ago: "Ghostbusters 2 wasn't that good. The first one was better." Me now: "Compared to todays movies this is pure gold. Pure diamond encrusted gold."
I've loved this movie since 1989 the year it came out. I saw it in the theater with my parents when I was ten. Great movie then and now which doesn't deserve the flack it gets. Ghostbuster 2016 and Afterlife deserves the flack though. I don't even count them as Ghostbusters movies.
I think a lot of people wrote off the sequel at the time of its release and said it was nowhere near as good as the original. Today, however, I think many (including myself) now think this one is not only better than what we thought but vastly superior to the original. Just a better film.
They don't make movies like this anymore. Crazy to think how many classics there were in just the 80's. More in just that decade than the last whole 20 years.
@@scottsrush I cannot put my finger on which Scene when it comes to Ghostbusters 1&2 is more iconic between the Stay Stay Puft Marshmallow Man or the walking Statue of Liberty.
And to think she was given to us by the French and I say this as a former New Yorker...Lady Liberty is the greatest monument in the history of the United States. Best scene in the movie.
@@theshapeexists True, though I’m a Giant Robo man myself. Personally I’d love a 1:1 replica of the Big-Guy to be built in DC. And again if we just convert her into a giant mecha with a heart of gold she’d get the undisputed world title.
I was 5 years old when my parents took my siblings and I to see this movie. I vaguely remember sitting in the theater watching this. I love this franchise. The TRUE franchise. I'm excited for March 22.
“Man, I can’t wait to see peoples faces when we come on shore!“ [*statue stops halfway because the water washed away the slime and shorted out the sound system*]
They made her waterproof ... or maybe that was the slime's property all along. Remember it's a magical slime, powered by emotions, that can bring human appliances come to life, and even a gigantic human statue made of copper and being hollow inside. So screw real life physics and just go with it..
I wish they could have established a jointed skeletal structure within the statue Ghostbusters is a franchise that’s rooted in some form of logic/pseudoscience I would have bought it if Egon and Ray said something like “oh the Statue of Liberty has a skeletal structure with joints and all” I mean on the cartoon show it was established that the Eiffel Tower is a 19th century ghost trap so we could buy the former
What I love about this moment, is that the slime summons the spirits and emotions of supposed spirits long dead. New Yorkers from when the Statue was first built even. Immigrants, builders, tourists from allover who came and lived in NYC. And now they have a chance to defend it. And "in the body of a Statue" see descendants cheering and praising this statue to save them. And, with the power of possibly a 1000 spirits, overpower the force Vigo with one powerful swing.
1:13 Little know fact. Cheech from Cheech and Chong had cleaned up his act, moved to New York to work on the docks. However, after that night he thought "Screw this, I am going back to pot".
This is one of two Ghostbusters movies I got to see in the theaters. I saw this one with my parents and brother, and saw Afterlife with my dad. I love them and the original. As far as I’m concerned, 2016 was Ray’s fever dream.
In 2006 I was taking part of NYC Fleet Week. I was on ship when we sailed past the Statue of Liberty. It was really cool! I instantly thought of this movie :3
When I was one or two I went to the air intrepid museum. They had a smaller scale model of Liberty My dad was holding me close and I started crying I thought it was gonna come to life
@@KRobinson-ko1neWell sometimes they would use the Technology like CGI like with Cloverfield or other films with miniature to bring Liberty to the Screens like when her head is damaged in NYC in Cloverfield, that was CG.
I always thought the Statue of Liberty in "Ghostbusters II" should have stopped to curtsy as she passed and welcome the Titanic to New York while she walked to the museum. "So glad you finally made it, my dear."
That may have been a bit of a stretch Though I do think they should have established the statue having a skeletal structure with joints Perhaps in the universes version of New York lady Liberty could have been intended to be an early animatronic or something I mean on the cartoon show it was revealed that the Eiffel Tower was a 19th century ghost trap
This is my favorite scene from this movie. But when I went and saw the Statue of Liberty and real life, so disappointed to see that it wasn't possible for her to cross the Hudson LOL.
when I was a kid seeing that statue going through the water like that and then getting online it used to scare the hell out of me and even now looking at imagining it it's just crazy
I grew up on this movie and still adore it. I even prefer it over the original since I didn't know there was an original and this was a sequel til I was 15. Don't judge me 🤣But now they're both very nostalgic to me and btw, you should all watch "Ghostbusters: Afterlife". As a true Ghostbusters fan, I really liked it and it was really touching at the end, that's all I'll say.
Two things I liked about this scene from Ghostbusters 2 👇 3:51-3:57 The way Lady Liberty peeked in from the glass was awesome 4:02-4:23 When Lady Liberty used her torch to smash the glass to let the Ghostbusters to repel from her crown down into the museum
These practical effects are perfect. CGI wouldn’t make this more believable, in fact, it would look fake. I love how they made her metal skin appear to flex yet still be stiff and solid.🤯
Originally, Lady Liberty was supposed to be terrorizing the city in the first movie before changing it to the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man. Have it being a symbol for good in this film was better.
I was five years old in this movie came out, When I heard that there was a Ghostbusters with females in it, It truly has made the sequel more of a masterpiece! And This Sequel still has a positive message that we really take for granted. In truth, I’ve gotten to know the sequel long before the original.
I like how when she zips up Spenglers overalls on him and he says "i was born to wear this stuff". Well no, they're someone else's overalls so obviously not 😂

I can't help but feel patriotic when I see this lol
Me too as Lady Liberty doesn't just symbolize American freedom but Human freedom as a whole.
Yeah the democrats ruined this country
Something about this era of movies was so magical.
The movies in the 80's was pure magic
The aura for sure. I instantly felt happier watching this clip lol.
