buried himself into his work, obsessed with his research into the effect of
human behaviour on ectoplasmic slime, The script drags them back together
for a battle against slime and spirits revived by negative human behaviour.
To beat the spooks this time the team have to convince everyone in New
York that they have to be nice to each other for forty-eight hours, otherwise
the sticky stuff will take over the city. "The moral issue was important to
us," says Ramis. The final showdown takes place at - where else? - the Statue
of Liberty, with 'Star Wars' effects wizards Industrial Light & Magic returning
to provide the film with the ghosts and ghouls. Visual effects supervisor Dennis
Muren was asked, among other things, to come up with a river of slime and
spooks that were "interesting! In addition to being vaporous and flying around,
the ghosts can change their shape easily as they move with a lot of what
we call 'squash and' stretch." Sounds fun.
Yup, the Ghostbusters are back. A clever new symbol, some wicked-looking
new proton packs, a brilliant theme song by Bobby Brown, every bit as catchy
as Ray Parker Jr.'s 1984 smash title song, a slinky new dress for Ms. Weaver,
a souped-up new Ectomobile (the Ghostbusters' Cadillac-ambulance private
transport) with dozens of roof-lights and new computerised signboards, 100..000
gallons of slime, plus a gengeful villain in the form of Slimer all ad up to
make 'Ghostbusters II' every bit as much fun as the first picture. And there
is no reason to suspect that this outing for the dynamic quattro will be the
last, for I'll bet that 'Ghostbusters II' will go on to make even more money
than 'Ghostbusters'. Shares in Columbia Pictures will be rocketing again, and
plastic proton packs will be appearing in toy stores all over, sending the
merchandise manufacturers' dividends up as well.
So, who ya gonna call? Your stockbroker.
