Ghostbusters Reboot: 29 Easter Eggs, References & In-Jokes

4. Ernie Hudson's Cameo

Ghostbusters Easter Eggs
Columbia Pictures

Early on in the film, Patty says she borrowed Ecto-1 from her uncle, who is an undertaker with a small business, repeatedly referring to how annoyed he will be when the car is first repainted and then destroyed.

Eventually, her uncle appears - and of course it's Ernie Hudson, demanding to know where his missing hearse is and complaining that there's no way he can fulfil the four funeral jobs he has coming up over the weekend with only one car.

It's probably the worst of the cameos, but it's nice to see Hudson back all the same.
