20 Things You Somehow Missed In Ghostbusters

10. There Is No Dana, Only Ivan

Speaking of director Ivan Reitman, he is uncredited for two different appearances in the final film.

What, you thought that was Sigourney Weaver's voice? Whilst she did apparently climb on a table and bark like a dog in her audition to show how badly she wanted the part, the classic "there is only Dana, only Zuul" line was actually performed by Reitman.

He also plays the loveable blob of ectoplasm Slimer. All the grunts and wheezes that the class 5 full roaming vapour makes are actually the film's director.

Considering how instrumental in the film's success he was, it's nice to that the now late Reitman is captured forever both off and on screen in these classic scenes.

Coming from a content creation background that now spans over two decades, Psy cut her teeth on personal video production and community radio. Originally joining the team as a writer and presenter, she added video editing duties to her responsibilities over time and became the longest-standing editor of the irreverent gaming show Tues Your Own Adventure. Psy has worked on many previews and reviews, long-form editorials (either her own, or supporting as an editor), as a frequent quizmaster and more. Praised for the two-pronged attack of her hard work ethic and light-hearted editing style, Psy is otherwise known as a font of retro video game knowledge which has caused her to rack up many quiz wins. Outside of WhatCulture, Psy runs First Aid Spray Podcast - a long-running channel that focuses on Resident Evil in all of it's forms.
