Towards the end, when the ground is shaking and breaking up, a police car falls halfway into a hole in the road. When the smoke clears a little you can clearly see two white poles, one on either side of the back left wheel, holding the car in place. See more...

The Ghostbusters Fire House is located at North Moore, & Varick St. in New York, NY.
Casey Kasem does a voice-over cameo as himself on his radio show after the Ghostbusters become famous. The ditsy blonde woman that Louis dances with at his party is played by Casey's wife, Jean Kasem.
The role of Louis Tully was originally written and storyboarded for John Candy.
The original title of Ghostbusters was Ghost Smashers.
Two points in the movie where you can see Staypuft Marshmallows: the first is next to the eggs on Dana's worktop when the eggs start to cook, and the second is when the beam of light is coming out of the Ghostbuster's house, there is a wide shot of it and on the left of the screen there is a billboard advertising Staypuft Marshmallows.
Writer Dan Aykroyd originally wrote the role of Venkman for John Belushi, but approached Murray after Belushi's death. Belushi still appears in the movie (of sorts): the body movement of the Slimer Ghost were based on his movements.
The "marshmallow" at the end of the movie is shaving cream.
Originally, Gozer was supposed to be a man and the top choices for the character were David Bowie (the decision to get him was made too late to hire a famous actor) and Paul Ruebens (and he was supposed to appear in a business suit).
Venkman mentions the time Egon "tried to drill a hole in his head". This is a reference to Trepanation, a procedure alleged to increase psychic abilities among other things.
