Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn 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.
- GoofsRay, 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."
- Crazy creditsSlimer is credited as a cast member during the closing title sequence.
- Alternate versionsAside from several minor dialog changes because of translation issues, the German-dubbed version changed the baby's name from Oscar to Donald.

Featured review
Ghostbusters 2 is a fair sequel that finds the boys in grey five years later, not doing too good. Of course, it's not long before evil spirits pop up again in Manhattan and they're back doing what they do best. What makes this one work as well as the first is the relationship between the main characters. Bill Murray gets the great one liners again, and his scenes with Sigourney Weaver are just as goods as the first film. Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis provide enough silly techno jargon and odd references to slime and ghosts to keep you smiling. Still, you can't beat a 100 foot marshmallow man in Manhattan.
