Trivia: The first draft of the script involved Dana being kidnapped and taken to Scotland, where she'd discover an underground world of fairy-tale creatures, fairies, monsters and witches. The Ghostbusters would then have to travel to Scotland to save her. Dan Aykroyd has said that the script was simply "really too far out... too inaccessible."

Trivia: A great deal of the film was changed after poor test-screenings. In the original cut, there's a scene where Ray is possessed by Vigo earlier in the film and dangerously drives the Ecto-1 through the streets. Eugene Levy also appeared as Louis' cousin who helps the Ghostbusters get out of the hospital. There was a sub-plot of Louis trying to catch Slimer but being comically out-witted every time. Several scenes were substantially longer. And the entire climax was completely different.

Question: It seems like the character of Winston (the fourth Ghostbuster) has very little screen time in this movie. He was in a few scenes in the beginning, then kind of disappears for a while, then shows up again after the court room incident. Was there a reason why his character wasn't in the movie more?

Chosen answer: Winston was an employee of the other Ghostbusters, not a "professional paranormal investigator" like the other three. When they're looking into Dana's problem, they're doing it not in a professional ghostbusting capacity, but as a favor to a friend. Once the judge lifted the restraining order and they were back in business, they were able to hire him back.
