20 Things You Somehow Missed In Ghostbusters

17. The Magic Instrument Case

Ghostbusters movie
Columbia Pictures

Venkman finally gets his date with Dana by speaking to her by the Lincoln Centre fountain after a rehearsal with her orchestra. Being who he is, Peter can’t help but make a few quips about Dana’s musician colleague who watches them from afar.

As Dana approaches her friend to leave, the man moves his instrument case from under his arm to his hand. However, when the shot flips to focus on them it’s back under his arm. As the scene briefly alternates from one shot to another, the location of the case moves up and down.

There aren’t that many distracting mistakes in Ghostbusters, especially from a continuity perspective, so this one really sticks out when you notice it.
