20 Mistakes You Probably Missed In Ghostbusters Movies

4. Walter Peck - Charlatan?

Despite the presence of ghosts and Gods, the real villain of the first film is Walter Peck, the busy-body lawyer who represents the EPA and tries to shut down the Ghostbusters. He€™s hugely unlikable, and in the words of Peter Venkman has questionable genital circumstances, but he€™s also probably a charlatan. Peck claims he represents the EPA 3rd district, but New York City is within EPA's Region 2, and there aren€™t any districts, which he should probably have known. And then there€™s the fact that the law he quotes to shut down the Ghostbusters - the Environmental Protection Act - doesn€™t even exist. So who is this man quoting false laws from a region that doesn€™t exist?
