Edit cast list for:
Ghostbusters (1984)?
Trivia:
Before the release of !~alone_1~!~Home Alone~!, this was the highest-grossing comedy of all time. The music video for the song @#Ghostbusters#@ by `~Ray Parker Jr.~`, directed by `~4756~`, featured a number of celebrities who did not appear in the film. This included `~4241~`, `~6674~`, `~1575~`, `~6266~`, `~Melissa Gilbert~`, `~Carly Simon~`, `~2965~`, `~Irene Cara~` and `~525~`. In addition, the Ghostbusters themselves danced down Times Square right behind Parker Jr. The term 'proton pack' was never actually used until the middle of !~busters_2~!~Ghostbusters II~! when Spengler, in the subway tunnel said "before we go any further I think we should get our proton packs." There was a even more ferocious version of the Librarian Puppet that was going to be used, but it was rejected. However, it was recycled and used in another successful Columbia Pictures film released one year after this one, @%Fright Night%@. `~1667~` turned down both the roles of Dr. Peter Venkman and Dr. Egon Spengler. The bum that `~5989~` played in a deleted scene looks and acts just like his character on @%Caddyshack%@ (and also sports a golfing cap). The Stay-Puft marshmallow man was originally supposed to come up out of the water right next to The Statue of Liberty, to get a contrast of size, but the scene was too hard to shoot. Though never referred to in the script, the green ghost the guys bust in the hotel was dubbed "Onionhead" by the crew, because of its horrid smell. A scene where the ghost haunts two newlyweds showed this characteristic, but it was cut. Since it was never referred to in the movie, the writers of the animated show came up for a different name for the green ghost: Slimer. `~983~`'s original version of the script began with the Ecto-mobile flying out of Ghostbusters HQ, but director `~4756~` suggested that it would be better to show how the team got started. According to `~4756~` and `~6080~` in the DVD Commentary, in `~983~`'s original rough draft of the movie, the story was going to take place in the future and that there would be teams of Ghostbusters like there are paramedics and firefighters (thus explaining basing the Ghostbusters HQ in a firehouse). According to Reitman, such a film would cost "at least $300 million in 1984 dollars". So `~6080~` was brought in to rewrite the script and bring it into modern times.
