Stupidity: It's mostly a fun absurdity, but it is somewhat contradictory to showcase the Ghostbusters being featured as the cover story of every major publication and news outlet, and yet to get help not only they put an ad on the newspaper, but a single person applies for the job (which is all it took for them to accept).
Ghostbusters (1984)
1 stupidity
Directed by: Ivan Reitman
Starring: Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts
Continuity mistake: After the library scene, while the three scientists are walking and talking, a woman in a striped blue and yellow sweater passes by Egon, but disappears in the immediate next angle. (00:21:35)
Peter Venkman: Get her?! That was your plan? Get her?!
Trivia: When Peter Venkman mentions the time Egon Spengler tried to drill a hole in his head, Egon replies, "That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me". This line was ad-libbed by Harold Ramis.
Question: I heard that Ron Jeremy had a walk on part in this film, does anyone know in which scene he is in?
