I mean, they picked an old ambulance in the movie because it's all they could afford/was the right size. I'm sure they're not going out and finding rare antique cars and fixing them up. If they were introducing new cars, I think it would be something more modern. In the cartoon, new vehicles always had a higher number. |

On another note: It's been a very long time since I've seen either of the Ghostbusters movies, and all this Ghostbusters talk has gotten me in the mood for some classic 80's cinema. Probably gonna watch the original tonight, and the sequel too at some point this weekend maybe.

1-b looked more like the original but retained the yellow\black stripes of 1-a. Lights etc got toned down as well to what it was originally. What id love to know is why there was never a release of GB2 featuring the Louis\Slimer encounter in the firehouse. In the comic Louis went to town trying to trap slimer when he discovered him in the firehouse. You actually see a small piece of this in GB2 in the credits where you see slimer in a rear view mirror, in the comic Louis was wearing this when on the prowl for slimer. Seems like they filmed at least some of it and the effects but its never been in any release. Looks like it was all removed just so you see Louis at the end putting on the proton pack like its first time, when in the comic he had prior experience with it. |

Wonder if something happened the film and the removed scenes got lost or destroyed? I remember reading about one scene in GB1 where a cop tries to give ecto a parking ticket and it bursts into flames when he places it on the car, also the red device on top was supposed to follow the cop around the car as he was walking along. Never seen that one though. |

They're not destroyed. People have asked for ages and it's really just a matter of it not being worth the money for them to restore or whatever.
Ghostbusters 2 itself hardly gets a dvd release. I didn't even know it was on Blu Ray yet. I don't think it is. When the first film came out, it didn't. It only got one dvd release in the first gen. It had next to no special features. Even the first film hasn't seen a lot in the way of special features and dvd releases. |

I've seen little clips or screencaps of some of them. Some of the footage used in the trailers wasn't in the final cut.
There's also little clips from an old "making of" special, which show scenes being filmed that aren't in the final cut of the film. They're not the actual film though, but behind the scenes angles. It's all very minimal. Like 2 or 3 seconds if that. If you hunt on youtube, or go to SpookCentral.com you may find them. Or protoncharging.net. Those are the old sites I remember going to |

Even the first one on Blu Ray, though cool, doesn't have much to offer other than the movie. Before that all there was were the bare releases from 1999. How does something as big as Ghostbusters not see special edition DVD releases? There's a ton of special features they could do for each, and people would buy them. Almost every movie that comes out these days has 2 discs of crap. There are far less popular and marketable movies with better DVDs. I don't get it |

This thread is over four years old, and still no solid news.

How so? When it started you were looking for the script that got canned in the mid-90s. Since then there have been interviews with all the cast members saying they want to do it, and confirmation from the studio that they are moving ahead with production and writing a new script.

There has not been any confirmation, just rumours, speculation and provisionals. It has still never officially got the green light.
And rumours/speculation about Ghostbusters 3 have been swirling since the late 90s, so its not like I was bringing it up out of the blue. |

True, but they have never been swirling like this. Finally Columbia Tristar wants to make the movie, not just Aykroyd.

Well, in 1998 they were in pre-production with an official green light I believe.
Things went tits up, but the Hellbent script has been around since the mid 90s, as have the rumours of GB3. So I wasn't just pulling it out of the clear blue sky, I think it was due to the latest round of rumours (at that time) that got me interested in seeing the script. |

Love how this thread returns once a year, every year, for a month or two.

Wow, I can't believe it's four years. I also can't believe that 2006 doesn't sound that long ago to me. Then again, 2001 kinda hung in there for me for a while too.
