Continuity mistake: When Vigo throws the streams from the proton packs back onto the Ghostbusters, there is a wide shot of Egon getting thrown way over to the right. However, when they do a closer shot, he is way over to the left, closer to the other three Ghostbusters. (01:33:50)

8. 3/10. A sequel that got no love. Its timing was off due to coming out the same time that Bat-Man did. Still it's a good watch. Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis, and company are still at the top of their game here, still giving it their all. The idea of ecto plasm that fed off the bad vibes of New Yorkers was certainly an interesting idea. If anything, it seems capable of holding an audience's attention for more than 20 minutes. The only negative was the bland bad guy Vigo the Carpathian. I found him dull next to Gozer. Gozer lived for destruction and worship, Vigo, well he looked like a menacing ghost inhabiting a painting. Still it's a decent sequel to Ghost-Busters.
An underrated sequel.

Judge Wexler: The Scolari brothers.
Ray: Friends of yours?
Judge Wexler: I tried them for murder. Gave them the chair. You gotta do something.
Egon: Why don't you just tell them you don't believe in ghosts?
Trivia: Slimer had no name in the first Ghostbusters movie, but the producers nicknamed him "onionhead" because of his awful smell. He was named Slimer in the cartoon series "The Real Ghostbusters." The name came from the scene in Ghostbusters where Ray shows Winston the containment unit and says, "This is where we store all the vapors and entities and slimers we trap." Since Venkman was slimed in the hotel, they decided to name the ghost that did it Slimer.
Question: After informing Egon of the incident with Oscar in the stroller, why did Dana ask him not to tell Peter about it?

Answer: Because she knew Peter would want to get involved. They didn't part on good terms and she hadn't spoken to him since her marriage. She just thought it would be awkward to see him again.
