    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Although Harold Ramis passed away in 2014 and thus could not make a cameo alongside his fellow castmates, there is a bust of Ramis' head just outside of Erin's university office near the beginning of the film. The bust was later donated to the Harold Ramis Film School at Chicago's Second City, where Ramis began his career.
    • Goofs
      When you see the second shot of the outside of the Chinese restaurant/Ghostbusters base of operation (right after the subway train encounter), you can see the Ecto in the garage...this is before they even got the car from Patty. However, this mistake was digitally removed for the Blu-ray release.
    • Quotes
      • Erin Gilbert: What year is it?
      • Jillian Holtzmann: It's 2040. Our president is a plant!
    • Crazy credits
      In the post-credit scene after the credits are over, you see the girls in their lab. Patty has on a headset and is listening to an audio tape, repeating one section several times. Erin asks if she has something. Patty answers, "What's Zuul?"
    • Alternate versions
      Extended BluRay version is 2hs 13 mins long.
