Directed by: Ivan Reitman
Starring: Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts
Continuity mistake: After the library scene, while the three scientists are walking and talking, a woman in a striped blue and yellow sweater passes by Egon, but disappears in the immediate next angle. (00:21:35)
Peter Venkman: Get her?! That was your plan? Get her?!
Trivia: When Peter Venkman mentions the time Egon Spengler tried to drill a hole in his head, Egon replies, "That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me". This line was ad-libbed by Harold Ramis.
Question: Why does Ray drop his trap on the altar? It can be seen all through the 'choose' conversation and when Staypuft first appears.
Answer: He places it on the altar just after they believe they have vaporized Gozer with the proton packs. At this point, thinking the ghost to have been destroyed, he sets it down as he believes the job is done and he will not need it.
Answer: Ray realised Gozer was too powerful to be caught in the trap, so why carry the extra weight?
