He is Vigo! You are like the buzzing of flies to him.

You know what's crazy? We're just over one year away from the end of the world, according to this movie. Elaine says that the world will end on February 14, 2016.
I bet when Ghostbusters 2 came out, 2016 probably sounded soooo futuristic. I felt the same way during the scene in which Dana and Peter are having dinner and she says "why don't you give me a jingle in the year 2000?" Back then I probably thought "whoa, the year 2000! Who knows what crazy gadgets we'll have by then!"
Oh, and that subway scene with the severed heads on the stakes? Scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.

Lets not forget, this is the year we were supposed to have hoverboards, flying cars, holographic movies, and all wear ridged metal things on our heads. |

The other guest on Peter's show was almost right. He was basically predicting that Vigo would rise.

Bill Murray's blank stare at the camera always gets me.

I like Janine in Ghostbusters II
They turned Annie Potts into a bitter, frumpy secretary into a damn sex bomb.
She looked stunning.

Bill Murray's blank stare at the camera always gets me.  Knowing that this summed up Murrary's exact feelings about the film itself makes it all the more amusing. I like Janine in Ghostbusters II They turned Annie Potts into a bitter, frumpy secretary into a damn sex bomb. She looked stunning. So much this. Annie Potts in GB2 was one of my first celebrity crushes. |

The only sour note for me in this movie is that New York inexplicably stopped believing that the Ghostbusters were real, despite the events of the first film, as if they were somehow able to fake Mr Stay Puft walking down the street. Had the script simply said that the Ghostbusters were driven out of business by the costs of being sued for property damage, it would have made more sense.

Had the script simply said that the Ghostbusters were driven out of business by the costs of being sued for property damage, it would have made more sense. Yeah, that premise always bothered me, because none of it adds up whichever way you look at it. If they had faked it, that would have led to stiffer penalties than being prohibited from any ghostbusting activities. Between the property damage, defrauding public services, and any personal injuries/deaths caused they'd all be looking at long jail terms. If they didn't fake it, then how come nobody believes in ghosts? It can't be attributed to people not witnessing the events of the final act. One of the upper floors of a high-rise apartment exploded, hundreds of people were gathered outside, and a 112-foot tall marshmallow man walked along Central Park West and climbed said high rise. It's New York City, not Bumblef***, Indiana - news crews would have been all over it and that would have been the most-watched newscast in the history of television. |

the thing i'll never get about it, it takes place in 1989, and the kids at the birthday party wanted He-Man. the show had been off the air for at least 5 years by then. i could see Bat Man or Ninja Turtles but He-Man? i don't get it.

The Masters of the Universe film led to USA rerunning He-Man around the same time Ghostbusters 2 was in production (and the same time as The Real Ghostbusters was airing on ABC), so it was still somewhat culturally relevant. Batman wasn't released until a week after GB2 so Batmania didn't exist yet, and as far as a punchline goes "I wanted He-Man" flows much better than "I wanted Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". The line was horribly dubbed anyway, so can you imagine how terrible it would have been if they'd gone with that? |

If the kids wanted He-Man, why did their parents hire the Ghostbusters in the first instance?

If the kids wanted He-Man, why did their parents hire the Ghostbusters in the first instance? Probably because they were cheaper. As for the part about people not believing in ghosts, I believe they did touch on the idea in the first film that people were accusing the Ghostbusters of causing it all themselves. And I guess once Gozer was defeated the ghosts just stopped appearing. |
