20 Things You Somehow Missed In Ghostbusters

12. The Ghost-Free Montage

Ghostbusters Ecto1
Columbia Pictures

When business begins to boom for the boys in grey, we are treated to the extremely hype montage that made every kid watching want to don a flight-suit and wear their parents hoover on their back.

With the Ecto-1 racing around NYC and various news articles and stories about their rise in popularity, the whole section gets across the idea that the guys have been at this for a while now. However, it does this without bombarding us with ghosts and saving some of that CGI budget. The montage only shows the guys finishing jobs - leaving buildings holding traps filled with a little dry ice for the smoke.

The only ghost in the scene is part of a dream and wasn’t even intended for the montage in the first place. Ray’s fantasy of the promiscuous spirit was part of an entire sequence that was cut and spliced into the montage.

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.
