Trivia
In the years between Ghostbusters (1984) and this film, The Real Ghostbusters (1986) introduced the idea that Slimer was living at the firehouse as the Ghostbusters' pet. Because the original film and the cartoon series were so popular with children, they put Slimer in the film.

Goofs
Ray, Egon, and Winston go down into the sewer to examine the slime. Winston is using a measuring device to see how deep it is when he is pulled towards the slime. Egon and Ray try to hold him back, and one of them calls Winston "Ernie."

Quotes
Egon: My parents didn't believe in toys.
Ray: You mean you never even had a Slinky?
Egon: We had part of a Slinky. But I straightened it.

Crazy credits
Slimer is credited as a cast member during the closing title sequence.

Alternate versions
Aside from several minor dialog changes because of translation issues, the German-dubbed version changed the baby's name from Oscar to Donald.

Connections
Edited into Mars Attacks! (1996)

"Everything you're doing is bad. I want you to know that"

It's so hard to beat the original, the writers (especially if it the same writers) have to come back bigger and better to prove themselves again. And they still need to make it feel fresh. Sure, the 80s were a different time but the Ghostbusters literally saved NYC only 5 years prior and now no one in the city believes in ghosts anymore! The more I rewatch Bill Murray i these old tings the more I think he never really acts, but just exists.
