Life of the Party

Paranormal researcher Abby Yates and physicist Erin Gilbert are trying to prove that ghosts exist in modern society. When strange apparitions appear in Manhattan, Gilbert and Yates turn to engineer Jillian Holtzmann for help. Also joining the team is Patty Tolan, a lifelong New Yorker who knows the city inside and out. Armed with proton packs and plenty of attitude, the four women prepare for an epic battle as more than 1,000 mischievous ghouls descend on Times Square.

Trivia
Although Harold Ramis passed away in 2014 and thus could not make a cameo alongside his fellow castmates, there is a bust of Ramis' head just outside of Erin's university office near the beginning of the film. The bust was later donated to the Harold Ramis Film School at Chicago's Second City, where Ramis began his career.

Goofs
When you see the second shot of the outside of the Chinese restaurant/Ghostbusters base of operation (right after the subway train encounter), you can see the Ecto in the garage...this is before they even got the car from Patty. However, this mistake was digitally removed for the Blu-ray release.

Quotes
Cabbie: I don't go to Chinatown, I don't drive wackos, and I ain't afraid of no ghosts!

Crazy credits
In the post-credit scene after the credits are over, you see the girls in their lab. Patty has on a headset and is listening to an audio tape, repeating one section several times. Erin asks if she has something. Patty answers, "What's Zuul?"

Alternate versions
Extended BluRay version is 2hs 13 mins long.

Addiction

Hollywood producers and directors are addicts that are beyond medical help. They are addicted to the drug of remakes and sequels. It is just poor. Copy/inferior paste, copy/inferior paste, ad nauseam foreeeeeeeeeeever

People, I cringed for almost two hours trying to get to the end of this DVD. What did it add to the original? To the world? Nothing? Exactly.

And Chris Hemsworth! What does he contribute to cinema??
