When there’s something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call? The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes Pic!
Since we’ve hit another round of “Will he or won’t he?” in the continual game of Bill Murray’s involvement in Ghostbusters III why not take a look back at the original film? Especially when I can show off the famous BJ Ghost from possibly the oddest montage moments in the history of cinema.
I mean, I get Slimer and undead cab drivers and pissed off librarian ghosts, but I wonder what the thought process was for that moment. Did Aykroyd go “You know what would be great? If a beautiful girl ghost gave Ray a blowjob!”? I think that might have been exactly it. Did Ray catch her and keep her around? Say “Thanks!” and let her go on her merry way? Was that like the ghost equivalent of getting out of a speeding ticket?
So many questions need answering!
Here’s Kym Herrin on the incredibly high-tech equipment used to film her ghostly appearance in the movie.
Thanks to Nick Tierce for sending this one in. Click to embiggen.

Tomorrow’s behind the scenes pic? Fuck that shit!

was from an uncompleted dream sequence
-
but it sure gets Bill Murray a lot of attention when he flip flops and such. If he's willing to voice the videogame and do his great cameo in Zombieland (SPOILER) Seems like they could get him if they really wanted to...

Got ectoplasm all over my good pants.

She was originally supposed to be Ray's love interest... kind of.
by Ghostpirate
If you read the original script, Ray and Winston went to an old Fort Museum on a call. Ray and Winston split up and Ray tries on an old admiral uniform then falls asleep in a bed (exhausted from working around the clock.) The ghost appears to him then and he has that encounter. The last shot in the original script was Ray returning to the fort with Champagne and 2 glasses. (as well as a montage of the Ghostbusters franchise, with multiple ecto 1s.) This subplot was cut, but they turned the footage into a dream sequence. Look closely at the scene. Ray is wearing an old war uniform and their are stanchions and displays in the room.
-
Danny just wants to do it for the pay check he knows it will bring. Just watch the original if you get in a busting mood. Great flick.
-
Pabst Blue Ribbon rules!!
-
I was pretty sure i didn't make that up in my brain.
-
I slimed *her*
-
you shouldn't talk to Dan Ackroyd or Chevy Chase about any movie franchise revivification because it is the equivalent of hearing your grandpa talk about his time in the war when he had to share body heat with the guy next to him but not in a gay way.
-
Its like one of those 'funny' dog chew toys that you get!
-
RIBBON! Looking forward to tomorrow's btsp. This one is cool too.
-
He did the game and the Zombieland thing and came out on whatever the awards show thing was, yet he says he hasn't even read the script for GB3. What gives?
-
Yeah, even after knowing that I still fail to notice the museum details when I watch the movie. I can't imagine anything being different. The script is in a book called "Making Ghostbusters" and it's a great read. There's notes on each page that point out all of the improvised lines and cut scenes as well as a lot of behind the scenes pics and concept art.
-
I thought that was the special effect! oh crap! You know, when I was younger I once took a shortcut home through a golf course at night. I was tackled into a sandtrap, bound and blindfolded before I could figure out what even happened. I was raped, and I've never told the story before, because when it was over... when the blindfold was removed, Bill Murray was standing over me. He leaned over and whispered into my ear "no one will ever believe you"

Bill Murray is the only ghostbuster who really still has a viable career
by Bobo_Vision
Why would he want to star in a passing-of-the-torch sequel where they piss on the magic of the original? The magic is gone. If you saw Dan Akroyd and Harold Ramis at the local mall wearing their ghostbuster uniforms, it would make you sad to see how fat and old they've become. <p> As for that dream sequence...it's pretty cool that even that edited version made it into such a popular PG film.
-
But instead of a golf course, it was my basement, and instead of Bill Murray, it was my Uncle.
-
I've always wanted to read that "original script" Danny always talks about in interview and special features and stuff, where it's him and Belushi, and it's all crazy huge monsters... and I think they're burnt out and there's a bunch of other Ghostbuster teams, and the marshmallow man is the opening battle! Never come across it online or anything though...
-
...and they say rape isn't funny!

You do know that the chick who played the BJ Ghost was a Playmate right?
by KilliK
She was Playmate of the month March 1981.And yes you can find nude photos of her in the internet if you google them. here is a small taste: http://www.freeweb.hu/playmate/html/8103.html

BTW Akroyd says that GB3's shooting starts in Spring 2012 EVEN WITHOUT Bill Murray
by KilliK
and Chevy Chase is talking about the upcoming reboots of Vacation and Fletch. here are the links with their interviews from Collider: http://collider.com/ghostbusters-3-shooting-spring-2012-with-without-bill-murray/111569/ http://collider.com/chevy-chase-vacation-reboot-fletch/111363/
-
in a movie made for the family.Yeah GB1 was pretty dark and scary,but still that scene felt awkward.not that i have a problem with it. Ramis had said in the dvd commentary,that when his kid saw that scene,he asked him what the lady ghost was doing and he replied to him that he will find out when he will grow up.heh.
-
More relevant than akyroyd lately. The man was in the crow, Congo, Oz Name three things Danny boy has done since GB2 that was worthy. Sneakers is it. Respect!

Oops i forgot the name of the BJ Ghost Playmate chick: Kymberly Herrin
by KilliK
-
Kym Herrin was a Playboy Playmate back in 1981, btw.
-
Let it go.
-
For anyone who desires GB3, what makes you think that it's gonna match that level of enthusiasm?!? Name a sequel so far removed from it predecessor that was any good. Godfather 3? Phantom menace? Indy 4? This doesn't need to happen.
-
I'm "gonna need a bigger"...flash-drive... I save most of these pics...my idea: In my "movie room" instead of current aka soon to be outdated movie posters, I'm planning on filling it with behind the scenes shots showing classics being made...I think it adds much more depth to the room and a greater appreciation for the movies... ...so thank you for these, it was and is a fantastic idea. ...except for today's lol...if I hung this up no one would know what the heck it was from lol
-
I always thought this ghost was Donna Dixon. Didn't her and Dan get together around the time of this movie?
-
First scene in a movie I can remember that gave me a rod. How many things in life are as perfect and enjoyable as Ghostbusters? Almost none.
-
Although I think Police Academy was rated R, I always find it odd that the first one ends with the police chief struggling to maintain his composure through a speech while some hooker hiding in the mic stand is blowing him.
-
What else will you complain about for the next five years? Die Hard 5 is supposed to come. So I guess that can take the lead for a while. Though I'm sure most of you are burnt out form the DH4 whine-a-thon. Jurassic Park 4 is supposed to be coming. Maybe that will fill the void. But none of it would compare to G3. Bring it on. If for no other reason than to see how many lives it supposedly wrecks. Nothing like seeing someone who's happiness in life depends on how good/bad a movie will be.

There was a TON of sex-related humor in PG-rated films back in the 80's
by Nasty In The Pasty
As well as nudity and swearing. By the early 90's, a PG rating became virtually indistinguishable from a G rating (excelpt you could maybe get away with "damn" or "hell" every now and again, wheeeee).
-
That stash made my day!
-
Um, no, that's a dream sequence.
-
the talkbacks will always find something to hate, and when that fails, troll everyone else. besides, there's enough remakes coming along that sequels to beloved classics are just icing.

Ghostbusters is great, but how many of you remember how much Ghostbusters 2 S U C K E D?
by NeonFrisbee
Given the fact that part 2 SUCKED DEAD DONKEY BALLS, and it's been 20 some years since either of them, why the fuck would anyone want a part 3? Btw, the recentish video game sucked too and was nigh unplayable. How about this. How about we leave it alone and all continue to have fond memories of the original movie? Thanks.

She's an angel.

Anyone notice how they cut out "bustin' makes me feel good" line of the GB song? It should happen when Ray rolls his eyes back
by ndally
and this is part of the "Fort Determine" or something like that deleted scene. It's in the script. It wasn't suppose to be a dream. There SO MANY unreleased footage of both GB films. I for one enjoy Ghostbusters 2.

Is that the time traveling Chris Kattan in a comedic handlebar mustache disguise?
by Cletus Van Damme
-
holy shit
-
i wasn't really excited when i heard that 2 writers from the later seasons of the office were writing a draft, i'm not suprised murray is dragging his feet.
-
If you like games and Ghostbusters, holy shit you better play it. I t's so good.
-
hilarious. i almost shit my pants when i read what you said and looked back up.
-
The original Police Academy did not end with the chief getting a blowjob. That was earlier on. The movie ends with cadet Mahoney getting a blowjob while at the podium, and it's suggested that the chief set it up as revenge.
-
it will probably be even worse than blues brothers 2000. It will take a fucking miracle for it to even reach GB2 standards.
-
The book is Making Ghostbusters edited by Don Shay and published by New York Zoetrope books. EVERY damn Ghostbusters 1 photo you guys publish is taken directly from it, why don't you just send me a PM and i'll photocopy the fucking book for you and send you the images, for cryin' out loud!
-
only Bill Murray with vaible career, really? Ernie Hudson seems to be doing okay, saw him in Torchwood just the other night.
-
that wasn't just some hooker in Police Academy, that was porn legend Georgina Spelvin; even her screen name is a class act.
-
i don't think i ever need to hear it in my life again.
-
He Should Of Played An Olde Worlde Boxer Ghost.He Should Have His Own Meme.Also,Cheers for the "Actress" Links Guys, Very Informative :>.
-
I'm sure I've read several times that contractually all the original GB stars have to approve the script before any more sequels can be made. I guess Murray could say yes to a sequel but decline to appear in the film, but it sounds like he won't even look at the script.
-
Fantastic

That people spell moustache different. moustache and mustache!

According to reports, Akroyd says the premise of GB3 is that the ghostbusters haven't aged well....
by Bobo_Vision
Ray is blind in one eye and can't drive the cadillac and Egon is too fat to put on his ghostbusters harness. The film is apparently all about handing over the reigns to new blood in order to continue the franchise. In other words, Akroyd is looking to get paid. It is basically a way of remaking Ghostbusters, but calling it a hand-off instead of an all out remake....and then the franchise would continue with the new younger ghostbusters. <p> That's a total bastardization of the original and Murray sounds like he has sound judgment to stay away from this.
-
Partly because they may actually make a decent movie, but also I would love GB to be thrust upon a new generation and for kids to discover (or re-discover) GB 1 & 2. It doesn't matter one iota that the guys are older. What DOES matter is that Venkman is in this in one shape or form. Without Venkman it's not GB and can't even be a 'passing of the torch' story. The plot needs to feature Venkman dying/becoming a ghost and Oscar, Dana's son, interacting with him or maybe even trying to pull him back from the spirit world.
-
Lot of conflicted feelings about this one. At first I dreaded the thought of seeing the old guys suited up, but Akroyd's description about how far gone the team has actually made me a bit more interested. It's like they're going to take the "I'm too old for this shit" jokes to ridiculous extremes, which may have some comic potential, so long as they are able to preserve each guy's inherent coolness in spite of their physical degredation. And I don't see anything inherently wrong with a passing of the torch story as long as it's well cast and well written. But I agree with those who say that Murray MUST be involved in some way or it's just not the Ghostbusters. I also hope that Moranis is in it. The thing I read that still scares me, and not in a good way, is that Ashton Kutcher was reportedly being considered to be part of the new team, at least at one point. No way can I get excited about that :p
-
What a total fucking schlock fest that movie was with the 'feel good' ectoplasm and on and on. GB3 sounds worse by a power of 10.
-
what Aykroyd proposes already happened. It was called extreme ghostbusters and it was GAY. None of the newbies were as funny or intelligent or charming as the original guys so what was the point. It's the original cast that made ghostbusters great and if this movie fails to include them all, it'll already have fallen short of being a decent enough sequel. I hope the film tackles the subject of the ghostbusters facing their own deaths as old men. It's something I think about from time to time, what will it be like to die. Let's go down that road. Maybe one of them is already dead and remains around as a ghost. I have so many ideas for how to make a third movie good, poignant, yet still exciting and fun like the first movie. The first film was smartly written first of all. So the third one needs to follow the same blueprint but not shy away from the fact that the gbs are old. and no coming out of retirment stuff, getting tired of that. They're just like the top experts of ghostbusting in the world, shit happens, and they're still the only ones who can take care of it.

How 'bout those new figure's that came out last year, I have a Venkman and Stanz and they look great!

Here's a list of all the films Ivan Reitman has directed for the last 20 years
by Bobo_Vision
No Strings Attached, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Evolution, Six Days Seven Nights, Father's Day, Junior, and Dave. <p> That's a pretty shitty list. Dave was alright, but that's at the bottom of the list about 18 years ago. And Ashton Kutcher was in his most recent film which gives credence to the rumor that they want him as one of the young ghostbusters. <p> Here's a list of all the films Dan Akroyd has written in the last 20 years: <p> Blues Brothers 2000 and Coneheads. <p> And here's a list of the films written by the other screenwriters of GB3, Gene Stupinksy and Lee Eisenberg: <p> Bad Teacher and Year One. <p> Soooooo.....when you put all this data into the Movietronic 2000 machine....all signs point to GB3 being absolute shit.

Did Ray think up of a second harmless product mascot alongside Mr. Staypuff?

Ray was originally going to think of his dead grandmother
by Bobo_Vision
And she was going to crawl up his leg with a 10 inch hunting knife in her teeth.

...he's been living a pretty great life away from it. He's been banging an insanely hot wife for the last 30 years and owns his own vineyard. If that's failure, sign me up.
-
Aug. 27, 2011, 10:35 a.m. CST
so GB3 will basically be a live action Extreme Ghostbusters?
by Bouncy X
has the same ideas, the old team passing it on to a new younger crew made up of 3 guys and a girl. if they ever say one will be wheelchair bound, it'll be official. :P

to go with it. Just swing your head around. I think the name of this 2nd unit shot was Blowghost.
-
He knew the game of fisticuffs he knew the game of might but no one knew the men that came and took his life one night
-
not to mention his own vodka line and chain of music venues!
-
yeah the Jew has hit the bottom in his life...NOT.
-
revenge? i always thought he did it as a thank you to Mahoney for the BJ the chick gave him.
-
Pretty sure the fellow on the left is the awesome Mr. Thaine Morris, pyrotechnician at Boss Film http://123nonstop.com/biography/Morris,_Thaine
-
. . . so there's just a cameo by Murray, playing a ghost. But then I remember GB2 and wonder why anybody gives a shit . . .

just getting ready for "Irene", flipping the channels.
by welcometothepartypal
Die Hard 2 is on spikeHD right now. I honestly can't tell which is the better sequel. GB2 or DH2, coming from 2 awesome first movies, I feel like thier both equal.
-
I'll take a BJ robot any day of the week (for you middle ages Star Wars geektards, a robot is the same thidg as droid...only less gay acting). A BJ bot can be built with realistic, warm sucking action like a human mouth. The ghost bitch's humjob feels like wrapping a wet rag that has been in the fridge for an hour around your cock. I can see Ray liking that though. He did fuck the happiness goo in GB2.
-
Heard Dan interviewed and saying the originals become to old and fat to be in the game anymore. They infuse the team with new/young blood. I'm sure that makes way for at least sequel 4 and 5.
-
Always bugged me. It was crude, not funny, and kinda out of place.
-
the 4 busters are now old and fat but still actively catching ghosts , monopolizing the entire field ghost extermination until they meet some spunky young teens who have the heart to take over the franchise so they can finally retire. also starring danny mcbride, sam rockwell, anna farris and charlie day
-
You are gay, not funny, and completely accepted by some people.
-
I really love all of you!

Will Farrel. Danny Mcbride. Somebody else. And a new token black guy.

It's during the main musical montage I think. She floats over Akroid then turns invisible to unzip his pants. He falls out of bed while getting ghost head

"He falls out of bed while getting ghost head" sounds like the middle part of a dirty limerick, hehe

Will Farrel, Danny Mcbride, Steve Carrel, and Zack Galefinakis in black face

I wonder how her "audition" for the part went. And rehearsals, those endless rehearsals..... I figure it was something like "Hey, I am working on this movie, and I am sure I can get you a part in it, if you would only ......." As a side note, she was also the girl in red in the ZZ Top video LEGS.
