    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      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.
    • Goofs
      Ray, Egon, and Winston go down into the sewer to examine the slime. Winston is using a measuring device to see how deep it is when he is pulled towards the slime. Egon and Ray try to hold him back, and one of them calls Winston "Ernie."
    • Quotes
      • 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.
    • Crazy credits
      Slimer is credited as a cast member during the closing title sequence.
    • Alternate versions
      Aside from several minor dialog changes because of translation issues, the German-dubbed version changed the baby's name from Oscar to Donald.
    • Connections
      Edited into Mars Attacks! (1996)
