Ghostbusters II is a 1989 American supernatural comedy film produced and directed by Ivan Reitman. It is the sequel to the 1984's Ghostbusters and follows the further adventures of a group of parapsychologists and their organization which combats paranormal activities. Despite making $215 million worldwide, the film was not as successful as the original and received mixed reviews.
After saving New York City from the demi-god Gozer, the Ghostbusters—Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz, Peter Venkman, and Winston Zeddemore—are sued for the property damage they caused, and barred from investigating the supernatural, forcing them out of business. Ray owns an occult bookstore and works as an unpopular children's entertainer with Winston, Egon works in a laboratory conducting experiments into human emotion, and Peter hosts a pseudo-psychic television show. Peter's former girlfriend Dana Barrett has had a son, Oscar, with an ex-husband, and works at the Manhattan Museum of Art. After an incident in which Oscar's baby carriage is controlled by an unseen force and drawn to a busy junction, Dana turns to the Ghostbusters for help. Meanwhile, Dana's colleague Dr. Janosz Poha is indoctrinated by the spirit of Vigo the Carpathian, a powerful seventeenth-century tyrant and magician trapped in a painting in the gallery. Vigo orders Janosz to locate a child that Vigo can possess, allowing him to return to life on the New Year.

Gotcha! Didn't think you would forget.
ReplyDeleteOscar was such an odd name for that baby. What's the first thing that pops into your head when you hear that name?
Oscar The Grouch
DeleteOscar Mayer- a hot dog
DeleteOscar Goldman
DeleteThe boys were back in town but the script sucks lemons. Not near as enjoyable as the first. Maybe because the newness wore off.
ReplyDeletewhere did those muscles on Akroyd appear from?
ReplyDeleteSequels are hard. You fail if you try to re-capture the flavor of the first. Act II's are always bridge material and hardly sustaining to be seen on their own. THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was a great one.
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed the movie - simple, fun entertainment!
ReplyDeleteI was a fan of Ghostbusters too,both movies. I really enjoyed the characters very much. Very entertaining.
