I'm glad that didn't happen. It would have undermined the scene later when the entire station is filling up due to Vigo's need for it to cover the museum and the flip city hysteria.
Easily one of the best sequences of scenes in anything Ghostbusters. One of the funniest with the chemistry and dialogue between all players but also actually kind of dread inducing with Ray in danger and the score. And it all leads to real world consequences! Way underrated.
Notice how Winston isn’t there? Winston knew they were most certainly getting caught with that drill and their 10 years would’ve been his 50 years in state prison
The judge gave them 18 months in prison. If he was there, he'd be given the same sentence. If there was a hint of racial profiling, he'd hire Johnny Cochran to sue.
@@RoosterMontgomerythat happens surprisingly more than you think. If a manhole is no longer in use it can get covered. I worked for a company where a work crew found a brick warehouse from the 1906 earthquake sunk on the Oakland side shoreline still intact to an extent. Cost too much to rip it out and so just cover it.
Ray: Pnuematic Transit. I can't believe it. It's the old Pneumatic Transit system. It's still here. After that, Peter was supposed to look confused not knowing what Ray was talking about. Egon:(explaining) Pneumatic Transit. It was an experimental subway system. Fan-forced air-trains, built around 1870. There was such a subway system but it didn't work very well and it was closed down after only a few years.
2:13 I would consider this the signature special effects shot of the entire movie. You have all the hallmarks: partial set, partial matte painting, practical effect optically inserted, bluescreen, and a live actor. It's beautiful. HOWEVER, what the hell is up with this 4K version? It's WAY TOO DARK! If someone was trying to make this look scarier by making it darker, they kinda succeeded but wound up hiding so much detail. Not to mention the slime river is glowing, hence a huge light source that now looks muted. This is why I will stick with my 1999 DVD, the way it looked in theaters and not someone's color correction project.
I have a normal blueray set of both the movies and that color of the slime was like more vibrant and more purple or magenta en less realy pink or red (like this one) it was weird at first to watch the river of "pink" slime that suddenly changed to purple slime lol. I mean its not that bad but the first versian i seen on tv was more pinkreddisch, in my bluray its more like pinishpurple irs weird. Also, this river of slime is my favorite set fir the movie. I actually got interested in Van Horne pneumatic tube and it turns out it realy was something, that got abandoned soon. The river of slime set with the architectural arches and tileset reminds me of the abandoned City Hall NYC underground trainstation and i think u remember Egon telling this in the sewers after the ghosttrain. Maybe Van Horne Pneumatic had the same architectural buildingstyle like that abandoned underground station. Ghostbusters 2 is a good movie. And this setting is great.
I absolutely love that orchestrated version of the intro to Spirit by Doug.E Fresh! Been trying to look for it every since I saw the movie again today!
I'm a lineman for a cable company, and often times underground fiber optic or truck coax cable gets damaged (usually by bozos like them) we have to bring our contractors out to dig up the street so we can do our repairs or replacements. Most of the time the entire time we are working we are quoting this scene laughing our assess off.
3:25 that gave me nightmares as a kid. always found it scary. my first reaction to it was : "what are those dolphins (the fins) doing there in the slime?!", until then it became a thought as , "whats that octopus doing under the slime!?" scary slimebeast. also the whole scene was creepy and very dark. an underground river of dark pink slime is scary lol.
You're not alone. These Van Horne scenes scared me until I was in middle school! I couldn't watch them, irrational fear I suppose. One day I forced myself to watch and it all went away. I still have weird dreams about being underground and there being ominous pink light glowing around me. Thanks for the nightmares, Dan and Harold!
i like it more than the original but maybe its because i first saw this movie before the first one so i had more memories of this. but i think its an overal scarier movie even though its also more kidfriendly (no smoking, mild humor and some character changes, Oscar etc) but this movie for me is a lot of nostalgia and i never knew a lot asides from the name and the song of Ghostbuster before i seen the second movie. so yeah, in My Experience this is my favorite but i can understrand why people dislike it and also agree on some that indeed the first one is the better but for my personal experience This is my favorite. its very hard to describe it actually lol
@@netabolt6546I kind of compare this with Superman 1 and 2, I always liked 2 alot better, because I seen Superman 2 before the original, even though the original was a blockbuster hit.
Anybody notice Winston wasn't with them at the time? He obviously knew they were up to no good and that they were going to get caught eventually. Just goes to show that he did not want to go back to jail like he did in the first movie.
Winston wasn't even aware of what they were doing until the court date. Remember, after Ghostbusters closed their doors, they went and got different jobs. Winston was most likely working else where or was at home.
i mean, Ray is litteraly "The Heart" of the Ghostbusters so they thought he was going to be the most enthousiastic to go down there. other reasons i cant think of now
I don't know when I really thought about this, but why are most of these slime creatures red or pink? (this, The Blob, the alien that crawls out of the guy's stomach) I always thought they would be green. Do they know how Kermit The Frog feels? It's not that easy bein' green Having to spend each day The color of your snot When I think it could be nicer Bein' red or yellow or gold Or something much less grotesque like that
All the slime in GB1 was clear transparent mucus, not much character to it. The mood slime is more visually diverse. Had it been green, it probably would have looked too cartoony and make viewers, especially kids, think of Slimer.
The slime is pink because it was formed by negative emotions made by the people in New York, and it was most likely made worse by the zombie heads in the underground subway who were most likely, people who suffered depression and killed themselves, four years before the events of this film.
kinda weird that a cop would investigate a construction site on a friday night, I mean was there any hint suggesting they weren't there actually digging for say broken phone lines?
@@netabolt6546It's flowing through here like a river! Van Horne. Pneumatic Transit! I can't believe it, this is the old Pneumatic Transit system! It's still here!
The mine at mothers house the the river is 3 miles under ground it be 100 ft deep it can be dangerous the mine employees drown in this particular mine the whole mine had to be shut down cause they're is acers of water in this mine
RIP Harold Ramis (November 21, 1944 - February 24, 2014), age 69
You will be remembered as a legend
The guy who played egon
Egon's the funniest one. I collect spores, moulds and fungus.
gees he's been dead 10 years. crazy
This was the last movie I got to see at a drive in movie theater. A lot of nostalgia from this movie.
The last one I saw was wild wild West with will smith lol 😆 that drive in has since closed though.
Go down to Sacramento drive ins
Funny how the NY accents got deeper when the cops showed up
Yep, that’s the joke
Like Bill cared, his Chicago accent is all over the place in this film.
In the novelization, the stuff actually bubbles up after him as they're pulling him up. Hence why he's yelling "Get me out of this hole!"
I'm glad that didn't happen. It would have undermined the scene later when the entire station is filling up due to Vigo's need for it to cover the museum and the flip city hysteria.
RIP Harold Ramis 🙏🏿
RIP Ivan Rietman 🙏🏿
RIP all victims of WTC 🙏🏿

😂😂😂unless he hired Johnnie Cochran.
That and the 3 "originals" needed that schtick to play out in the sequel for film continuity purposes way before woke logic ever existed.
Oh wow I never thought of it like that and I'm black 😂😂.
Also, Winston wasn't at Ray's Occult when the other three talked about going to Dana's apartment.
The judge gave them 18 months in prison. If he was there, he'd be given the same sentence. If there was a hint of racial profiling, he'd hire Johnny Cochran to sue.
I love Peter and Ray pretending to be manual labourers by doing working class accents and the only thing Egon can think of to join in with is “Yo!”
Every time I cut asphalt with the hammer while I worked for a pipeline company I always pretended to be Ziggy. Especially on a night dig.
1:41 Check out how much road they had to remove. The city didn't want that manhole found!
YO

Rest in peace Harold Ramis, and Richard Forojny; who played the ConEd guy. (Forojny was also Plettschner in "Repo Man")

I don't.

I don’t remember much from this movie it was a long time ago
This is to good 😂
I never got why they sent ray down, would he not be the heaviest
I guess since he’s more experienced
The movie is basically "Let's fuck with Ray"
i mean, Ray is litteraly "The Heart" of the Ghostbusters so they thought he was going to be the most enthousiastic to go down there. other reasons i cant think of now
Peter: who told you to stop cutting ?
3:13 Good ol' Venkman 😂
Hey! We'h wohrkin' hee'h!
Where the Ghost Busters at? We got another river of slime in NY.
The scene where Ray, Peter and Egon were drilling a hole on First Avenue was not in New York, but actually in Los Angeles.
What have I been doing while you’ve been getting coffee for an hour
Dude that single cable ray kicked supplies the entire states power supply…
I don't know when I really thought about this, but why are most of these slime creatures red or pink? (this, The Blob, the alien that crawls out of the guy's stomach) I always thought they would be green.
Do they know how Kermit The Frog feels?
It's not that easy bein' green
Having to spend each day
The color of your snot
When I think it could be nicer
Bein' red or yellow or gold
Or something much less grotesque like that
because its scarier that way. has the color of blood so its kinda horror.

Fun Fact: The guy who is playing the cop is Dave Florek, brother of Dann, aka Captain Cragen from Law & Order 🙃
