In the years between Ghostbusters (1984) and this film, The Real Ghostbusters (1986) introduced the idea that Slimer was living at the firehouse as the Ghostbusters' pet. Because the original film and the cartoon series were so popular with children, they put Slimer in the film.
While the role of Vigo was played by Wilhelm von Homburg, all his lines were dubbed by Max von Sydow. Wilhelm left the premiere in anger when he found out.
The kid who tells Ray that, according to his dad, the Ghostbusters are "full of crap" is played by Jason Reitman, son of director Ivan Reitman, and future Oscar-nominated director of Juno (2007), Up in the Air (2009), and Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021). Reitman's daughter Catherine Reitman plays the girl with the puppy in Egon's lab.
After the release of this film, Louis Tully was added into The Real Ghostbusters (1986) cartoon series.
The yellow gadgets on the Ghostbusters' belts are "PASS Devices", real safety devices used by firefighters all over the world at the time of this production. The device emits a loud alarm if it doesn't detect movement after a predetermined time, for example if a firefighter is knocked unconscious or trapped. They have since been incorporated into the self-contained breathing apparatus worn by firefighters, and may include thermal sensors which sound an alarm when temperatures rise rapidly.
"Louis Tully: Your Honor, ladies and gentleman of the audience, I don't think it's fair to call my clients frauds. Sure, the blackout was a big problem for everybody. I was trapped in an elevator for two hours and I had to make the whole time. But I don't blame them. Because one time, I turned into a dog and they helped me. Thank you. [the courtroom is in bewildered silence] Egon: Very good, Louis. Short, but pointless."
"Egon: My parents didn't believe in toys. Ray: You mean you never even had a Slinky? Egon: We had part of a Slinky. But I straightened it."
