Ghostbusters: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

3. Slimer & Lady Slimer (Adam Ray & Robin Shelby)

Ghostbusters Abduction
Sony Pictures

Slimer appears only briefly in the movie, shown guzzling down hotdogs before stealing the Ghostbusters' vehicle and driving off into the night during the climactic set-piece.

He's then shown driving the car around New York with a female Slimer in tow, resulting in one of the most hilarious gags in the entire film, as the gang remark that he's having one hell of a night, before the car gets blown up and the Slimers are propelled into the air, still in their seats, Die Hard 2 style.

Slimer is a franchise icon and had the movie trampled on him, there would've been huge fan outrage. As it stands, the film does a fine job continuing his legacy, even if the CGI could probably use a little work. Still, very fun on the whole.
