TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

When Louis Tully mingles with his party guests (commenting on the price of the salmon, and so on), the scene is one continuous shot, and almost entirely improvised.

Almost none of the scenes were filmed as scripted, most had at least one ad-lib. Most of Bill Murray's lines are ad-libs.

In the middle of the film's initial release, to keep interest going, Ivan Reitman ran a trailer that was basically the commercial the Ghostbusters used in the movie, but the 555 number was replaced with a 1-800 number, allowing people to actually call in. Callers got a recorded message of Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd saying something to the effect of "Hi. We're out catching ghosts right now." They got 1,000 calls per hour, 24 hours a day, for several weeks.

The character of Winston was meant to have joined the team much earlier, and would have been slimed at the hotel. When Eddie Murphy declined the role, the script was re-written to have Winston appear about halfway through the film.

The demonic voice of Dana/Zuul was performed by director Ivan Reitman. Paddi Edwards provided the voice of Gozer.

Popular Dialogues

"Dr. Raymond Stantz: Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by dickless here. Walter Peck: They caused an explosion! Mayor: Is this true? Dr. Peter Venkman: Yes it's true. [pause] Dr. Peter Venkman: This man has no dick. Walter Peck: Jeez! [Charges at Venkman] Mayor: Break it up! Hey, break this up! Break it up! Walter Peck: All right, all right, all right! Dr. Peter Venkman: Well, that's what I heard!"

"Gozer: [after Ray orders her to re-locate] Are you a God? [Ray looks at Peter, who nonchalantly nods yes] Dr. Raymond Stantz: No. Gozer: Then... DIE! [Lightning flies from her fingers, driving the Ghostbusters to the edge of the roof and almost off; people below scream] Winston Zeddemore: Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES"! Dr. Peter Venkman: All right! This chick is TOAST!"
