11. Dan Aykroyd's Cameo

Ghostbusters Easter Eggs

As accidentally revealed by a premature TV spot, which was quickly pulled, Dan Aykroyd plays a cab driver in the new film, hilariously refusing to take Erin downtown, as he "wasn't planning on going that far". Brilliantly he drives off, sticking to his morals and defiantly saying he "ain't afraid of no ghost".

The best thing about the cameo - and the thing people seem to be missing - is that the taxi driver has appeared before.

His outfit, down to the flat cap, is almost identical to the cab driver ghost from the original movie...
