Continuity mistake: When Vigo throws the streams from the proton packs back onto the Ghostbusters, there is a wide shot of Egon getting thrown way over to the right. However, when they do a closer shot, he is way over to the left, closer to the other three Ghostbusters. (01:33:50)

8. 3/10. A sequel that got no love. Its timing was off due to coming out the same time that Bat-Man did. Still it's a good watch. Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis, and company are still at the top of their game here, still giving it their all. The idea of ecto plasm that fed off the bad vibes of New Yorkers was certainly an interesting idea. If anything, it seems capable of holding an audience's attention for more than 20 minutes. The only negative was the bland bad guy Vigo the Carpathian. I found him dull next to Gozer. Gozer lived for destruction and worship, Vigo, well he looked like a menacing ghost inhabiting a painting. Still it's a decent sequel to Ghost-Busters.
An underrated sequel.

Prosecutor: So what you're saying is that the world of the supernatural is your exclusive province?
Peter Venkman: Kitten, I think what I'm saying is that, sometimes, shit happens, someone has to deal with it, and who ya gonna call?
Trivia: The sound of Vigo growling is exactly the same growl that the terror dogs from the first Ghostbusters make.
Question: I recently saw Ghostbusters 2 on Spike TV. when the broadcast came to the point where Winston is pulled into the river of slim, before Vigon and Ray, I noticed the river of slime looked odd. It was as the river had been shrunken down, or the Ghostbusters were enlarged. Am I crazy? If I am not, then why would they make such a trivial alteration?
Answer: SpikeTV didn't alter the movie except for editing for time and content. The scene you saw was in the original film and the way the river looked was a combination of two things, the camera angle and the poor special effects of the time.
