How did I miss that?!? (Ghostbusters '84)

I want to hear some of the things you can't believe you missed after watching years of Ghostbusters. We have all probably had one of those "Wait a minute....is that?" moments with Ghostbusters and I think it would be fun to mention some.

Mine:
I just discovered this and it made me want to create this topic: During the montage you see the busters leaving a building with a big crowd around and Ray leading holding a smoking trap. I realized that's the Sedgewick Hotel because of the doors. Then I realized the "No job is too big. No fee is too big." is from outside the sedgewick hotel because Peter has slime on him. I hadn't noticed that for all these years.

What did you miss?

I didn't notice Ron Jeremy until about 5 years ago and I've been watching it since I was 3. Of course I wouldn't of known who he was till middle or high school. But still how did I miss that?

I never noticed Janine peeking around the filing cabinets when Peter was talking to Peck until it was pointed out in the DVD commentary.

After Peck turns off the grid. Look in the crowd outside the firehouse.

Nothing big, but recently I was watching and when Ray says, "Hey, where do these stairs go?", I noticed the stairs were right behind the spot on the wall where Dana's fridge used to be. The fridge is blackened and on it's side on the floor to the left. It makes sense, seeing as that's where Dana first caught a glimpse of Zuul.

Mine is semi related....

In GB2 Louis is talking smack to the judge/jury and says that 'The "Black Out" was a big problem for everyone'

Well when I was younger I thought he was saying "Black Guy" and hence why Winston wasn't in that scene.....

When I was building my pack I was looking at the movie and noticed the in the scene where there about to get on the elevator in the hotel. The shockmount on ray's pack is sticking up. Almost like he backed against something and bent it.

I found this pic in the reference section to show what I'm talking about .....

You do realise that Winston WAS in the court room scene too, right?

I've got another one, this time from GBII.

The logo sign hanging from the firehouse is a bit different from all the other GBII logos. The only difference is, instead of having the bar going across from top right to bottom left, it goes from top left to bottom right. It starts in the ghost's wrong arm pit. I just noticed this the last time I saw the sign hanging in H&L8, and then noticed that's the way it is in the movie.

Depends on which side of the sign you're looking at doesn't it?

Took me a while to notice, when Dana is in the kitchen, when the eggs cook themselves, the bag of Stay Puft Marshmallows sitting right there.

Same thing with Louis, er Vinz, when Peck is pointing, Vinz is mimicing him.

In the scene where the Ecto-1 responds from city hall with the national guard and police escort, I recently noticed the red rotator light on the roof rack is pointing straight down at the roof of the ecto as they first pull out.
Maybe the NYPD didn't want them running red lights and had them put it down?

I remember in GB II, it took me a while to notice Ray winking at Egon when he was winding Winston up about the "Giant sewer rats".

I just realized the other day that during the 'busting' montage, you see both Venkman and Egon wearing the Ecto googles. Never noticed that before.

I checked that out and when I did I noticed the hat thing ray is wearing when he accepts the chicken from the oriental gentleman.

Also during the Busting Montage, when Casey Casem is talking and they are running down the sidewalk, Venkman has his leg hose wrapped around the trap handle and right before they cut back to dana barretts apt, you can see it unravel

When the Ecto busts out of the firehouse for the first time, the sniffer tower is bent down like it was during the deleted bursting ticket scene in the montage

It's obvious to me why his shock mount was pointing up, it's because his proton pack was turned on.

I noticed a few years ago (and many others have probably also noticed) that the newspaper photograph in the scene where the guys geceive the ducks is actually of them crossing the streams.

When Dana opens the fridge, they're a big, very noticable bulb in Zuul's mouth. Darn HD... :P

During Dana's interview, there's a couple of throwers on the table behind her.

I never noticed that the cop that tells them the mayor wants to see them in the first movie is the same actor who played Carl Winslow. I've seen this movie too many times to count and I just noticed it today.
