It's not what is exactly hidden, but seeing that most of the times I've watched this movie I either turned it off as soon as the credits roll and when I did watch the credits it was on my old VHS tape, it did stand out to me. When Louis steps out of the building and gets escorted off by paramedics, he protests by saying "but I wanna go with them in the car....".

During Dana's interview, there's a couple of throwers on the table behind her.
Egon is working on a thrower at the table during their dinner when they get the Sedgewick call.

One thing I've always noticed but was never sure about...In the courtroom scene there is a guy in the audience (or whatever you call it) that looks exactly like Vigo. I always wondered if that was him and for some reason they used him as an extra.

One thing that I always have to look at...

When the eggs are starting to cook on Dana's counter....in scenes with Dana looking at them from behind the counter, the eggs are different than when it shows a close up of them.

Along with the magic rearranging groceries (watch the paper bag as she's talking with Louis and entering her apartment).

One thing I just noticed now is Ray nodding after Winston's "you say YES!".

not hidden or anything. I just love the details that went into this movie. When they are checking out Louis back at the station, you can see the terror dog head in the monitor and it moves exactly the same way louis' head moves. I've wondered when the cops dropped off louis tully, they get asked "dropping off or picking up?" I wonder what they pick up?

Janine was probably wondering if they were looking to "pick up" one or more of the Ghostbusters for something! :D Probably property damage...

Yeah totally. At this point in the film she's probably ready for anything to happen. :D

Nothing big, but when I watched the Blueray the first time I never noticed all the little cars driving around on the streets when the Ghostbusters are on top of the appartment building. (If I remember right they are going up the stairs "that go up" and it's a wide shot.)

It's a DB9 connector, it's how they fed power to the forward indicator from the battery box.

Huh, I'd noticed that but never thought about it, makes sense now.

I was watching Ghostbusters 2 today for reference to finish working on a prop (Egon's Stethoscope).

When the Ghostbusters pull up to the museum (the scene where Peter says "Vigo the butch") you'll see Egon wearing the stethoscope while he's putting on his pack. But when they step in and Ray says "suck in the guts guys, we're the Ghostbusters" Egon isn't wearing it anymore. But when Peter talks to Yanosh Egon passes by scanning the room with the stethoscope on again. It all happens in a moment.

Oh. Here's the prop ;)http://www.gbfans.com/fans/props/other/4327/

Couple of years ago I noticed in GB I, right before Egon says: "This looks extraordinarily bad." the other end of his leg hose was slid through his pack frame and is clearly sticking out near his right elbow.

Venkman was snapping his fingers at the Vigo painting, to go along with the photographer shtick. It just so happens the snapping put Ray into a deeper trance, like a hypnotist's induction technique. "How did you miss that?"

I recently noticed in the Gozer event, when Ray pulls his thrower the wire loom ends up on the wrong side of this arm. The loom ends up wrapped around his wrist. It's still wrapped around his wrist right before they "aim for the flat-top".

How did I miss what? That doesn't even make any sense. Peter was taking pictures, Ray's arm got in the way and Peter wanted it moved for a clear shot. Hypnotic suggestion is not needed for demonic possession. I think some of these things are being read into way too far. Thats my opinion.

Nah, I was thinking of it more along the lines of just a signal; I know in a few plays/productions I've done an audible signal had to be worked in for a tricky timing (either not possible to have a visual cue, or the director just wanted to make sure we got it right).

Not sure if it's just my eyes playing tricks on me, and i couldn't find a decent screen cap of it, but the device Ray uses to take a sample from the river of slime while suspended in the hole, looks an awful lot like a modified proton wand. Again, could be wrong.

You're totally wrong, it looks nothing like a thrower.

I agree with Kevin. He was snapping his fingers to get Vigos attention to look at the camera. :angryvigo:

Well heres something interesting you guys may or may not know about. Last year I went to my schools library..I go to the School of Visual Arts and we have movie scripts...one of the things that caught my fancy was the first draft Dan wrote, back when the roles were writen for Belushi and Murphy. During the montage scene when Peter is saying "no fee is too big..." that was actually supposed to be right when the ghostbusters are leaving the hotel. Heres another interesting thing...You guys know the part when Ray is dreaming and he is wearing an old military uniform and the ghosy unzips his pants?...that was to be an entire scene of Ray and Winston going on a small case in an old military baracks. In fact that was supposed to be the case they were comming back from when they were in the car on the way over the bridge.

That's all pretty well known and definitly NOT from the first edition of the script.

Really? I mean I looked at it just three days ago again...it said first draft on it. Besides I was only commenting on some little things people were mentioning anyway...mainly the hotel thing

The first edition of the script had them wearing space suits and traveling through time. If you've somehow found a copy of that script everyone here would love to see it. :whatever: There are pics and video from the cut scenes here on the site.
