    Dan Aykroyd's dad was a ghost/paranormal hunter while he was growing up. When asked about his work with Ghostbusters he said, “It's the family business, for God's sake"

      That’s odd. Didn’t they film the outskirts in NYC? So they would have had to have flown a few thousand miles just to do that Basement scene?
      They may as well have done it on a sound stage.

    If you drive by Sony studios going down Culver (westbound) you can usually spot the Ectomobile parked in the lot. You have to look between the gap in fence right before you hit the Overland light. I used to always see it being driven up and down Culver late at night. Got a video of it once right next to me. Pretty cool I think

Beverly Hills cop was also filmed there and the famous banana in the tailpipe scene was shot across the street on Olive next to Pershing square. The bar at the biltmore is also the last known place where Elizabeth was scene before she was murdered. I heard she frequented that bar a lot as it was her favorite. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
