Ghostbusters (sometimes referred to as Ghostbusters: Answer the Call in publicity materials, as well as the DVD release) is a 2016 reboot of the 1984 comedy of the same name. Directed by Paul Feig, the movie stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones as the Gender Flipped new team, with Chris Hemsworth as their dimwitted receptionist Kevin.The plot involves quantum physicist Erin Gilbert (Wiig) discovering that her estranged friend and former partner Abby Yates (McCarthy) has republished a book the two wrote expressing their belief in ghosts. Fearing that the book will destroy her chances of achieving tenure at Columbia University, Gilbert attempts to persuade Yates to take the book down from the Internet, only to become roped into an investigation into a supposedly haunted mansion conducted by Yates and her partner, eccentric engineer Jillian Holtzmann (McKinnon). When the investigation uncovers an actual, genuine haunting, the three — after being fired from their respective academic institutions — decide to investigate the increase in paranormal activity and conclusively prove the existence of ghosts. After MTA worker Patty Tolan (Jones) approaches them following a haunting at a subway station, the four women discover a terrible plot threatening all of New York, and join forces as the Ghostbusters to save the day...The film is not a continuation of the previous films, but a Continuity Reboot. There are a number of cameos from the cast of the original film but the cameos themselves are not role reprises, but new characters altogether.The characters appear in the 2017 IDW Publishing Crisis Crossover mini-series Ghostbusters 101, in which the main casts of both the original two films and the 2016 film meet and team up against a new threat. Furthermore, another limited IDW title featuring this film's characters —Ghostbusters: Answer the Call— was also published later in the year.2021's Ghostbusters: Afterlife is an Un-Reboot that ignores this film and reprises the original continuity, being set a few decades after Ghostbusters II.Character tropes go on to the Characters Sheet.

Creator Cameo: Ivan Reitman, who directed the first two movies, walks behind the mayor on one of the last scenes. Katie Dippold, the film's writer, plays the rental agent who finds the Ghostbusters their base of operations. Director Paul Feig has two voice cameos, the "Ghost Hunters" announcer, and the boss mistreating Rowan through the radio (his on-screen appearance at the concert scene was eventually cut).

Arbitrary Skepticism: Erin and Abby had long since dismissed the idea of ley lines, which means it takes them a while to figure out Rowan's plan, which revolved around their old theories about the stronger connections to the other side along them.

Heroic BSoD: In the extended edition, Erin is subjected to this after thwarting the Big Bad's initial attempt. In order: the mayor's attache debunks their work, calling them sad and pathetic; random citizen invokes her Berserk Button by calling her "ghost girl" and then questioning her sanity, which gets him punched out; tabloids run a story of her punching out said bastard and giving him the finger, which prompts the TV news organizations to dig deeper and discover her former association with Columbia University, including a very dismissive soundbyte from the head of her department, the inimitable Charles Dance; and just to put the final nail in the coffin, even the dean of the third-rate tech college Abby and Jillian used to work at craps on her and then tries to plug his new album.

All There in the Manual: The tie-in edition of Ghosts of Our Past: Both Literally and Figuratively: The Study of the Paranormal reveals that apparently Martin Heiss survived being thrown through a window by Mayhem, was very badly injured, and renounced skepticism to become a firm believer in ghosts and the Ghostbusters. Until the next chapter, in which Erin and Abby reveal that he's actually a ghost who somehow managed to write the foreword for them.

Never Trust a Trailer
 Ghostbusters (2016) / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The film's teaser trailer mentions that the original film happened "30 years ago", implying that this film was a Passing the Torch continuation of the original series similar to Creed or The Force Awakens. The original cast having not-yet-disclosed roles in the film also seemed to support this. The film is actually a complete Continuity Reboot of the series, and the original actors play unrelated, minor characters. The trailers make Abby out to be the main character, when it's actually an ensemble cast and Erin has the most character growth. Also, they present Patty as the stereotypical Loud Ghetto Black Woman, but this is toned down in favor of emphasizing her social connections and knowledge of practical matters and local history. When Patty gets a car for the ladies, Abby is uneasy that it's a hearse. In the trailer, Patty replies, "It's a Cadillac!", but in the movie, she doesn't say this line at all and instead makes a longer, more convincing argument to keep it.

Dead All Along: Apparently Ed Mulgrave, who visits Erin to get her help with the Aldridge House haunting; when informed that they spoke with Mulgrave, the tour guide informs the Ghostbusters that Mulgrave is long dead. Subverted when it turns out that the person Erin spoke to was actually his son, Ed Mulgrave Jr. Erin irritably points out to the tour guide that she had clearly been referring to the living Ed Mulgrave.

The Cameo
 Ghostbusters (2016) / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: Most of the original Ghostbusters cast reappear in minor roles. Bill Murray as a famed paranormal debunker mocking the efforts of the team. He is seen on TV and later visits them in person, only to be thrown out a window and killed by the ghost they previously caught. Harold Ramis shows up as a bust (with an amused expression) at Columbia when Erin is fired. Daniel Ramis also appears briefly in his late father's stead. Dan Aykroyd shows up as a cabby who refuses to help out Erin and appears unfazed by the explosion of ghosts in the city. He gets to say the line "I ain't afraid of no ghost." Ernie Hudson is Patty's oft-mentioned uncle who runs a funeral home and loaned her the hearse they use for transportation. He shows up at the end asking for it back. Annie Potts is a receptionist at a hotel who is every bit as sassy as Janine, even saying "What do you want?" in a distinctive Brooklyn accent. Sigourney Weaver as Holtzman's mentor and equally quirky engineer in the ending sequence. Many frequent Paul Feig collaborators also make small appearances. invoked Dave "Gruber" Allen and Steve Bannos, from Freaks and Geeks, play the subway ghost and the flasher ghost in the finale, respectively. Jessica Chaffin and Jamie Denbo, who had roles in both Spy and The Heat, appear as a couple of diner waitresses bickering over who has to serve Rowan. Adam Ray, also of both films, appears as an opening act for Ozzy Osbourne, as well as voicing Slimer. Karan Soni, of Other Space, appears as an incompetent delivery boy for a Chinese restaurant. Joining him in smaller roles are co-stars Bess Rous as the Gertrude Aldridge ghost, Eugene Cordero as the bass player at the Ozzy Osbourne concert, and Milana Vayntrub as a homeless person in the subway. (And, of course, Neil Casey has a much larger role.)

Jillian Holtzmann is a somewhat odd super-scientist like Egon Spengler, but with a lot less The Spock and a lot more Mad Scientist. However, Jillian's nerdiness isn't cold and awkward at all; instead, she embraces her craziness. And while Egon was heavily implied to be asexual, Word Of God is that Jillian is a lesbian note Her actress, Kate McKinnon, is openly gay; however, given Janine's crush on Egon and, in a meta sense, Holtzmann's massive lesbian fanbase, they both get all the babes.

Those Two Guys: The Homeland Security agents were about as useful throughout the whole movie as a paper mache umbrella in a thunderstorm even before things started hitting the fan, even the GB's lampshaded this snarking that their incompetence hides their lacking manliness. the Mayor and his douchey assistant count as well. Given that their only real talent is suppressing everything and smearing the four heroines until it all reaches a fever pitch which was all but impossible to cover up.

comment
Remake Cameo: All of the original cast but the late Harold Ramis (whose likeness is still featured in a bust; the movie is also dedicated to him) and the retired/reclusive Rick Moranis. In order of appearance: Harold Ramis appears as a bust just outside Erin's office at Columbia University, and his son Daniel plays one of the metal fans. Bill Murray appears as the supernatural debunker who helps cast doubt on the women's scientific activities. Annie Potts is a manager of the hotel where Rowan works and directs the Ghostbusters where to find him. She even tosses out her signature "Whaddaya want?" line from the first movie. Dan Aykroyd is a cabbie who refuses to take Erin into Chinatown—"I don't drive to Chinatown, I don't drive no wackos, and I ain't afraid of no ghost". Ernie Hudson is Patty's uncle who owns the funeral home, and who loaned them the hearse that Jillian tricked out and was eventually lost in the final battle. Sigourney Weaver appears as Jillian's mentor both in nuclear engineering and Mad Scientist persona.

comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: As they are celebrating at the end of the Hotel bust, Kevin is seen eating a sandwich he picked up during the scene break, which they throw away. He then asks someone out of view to toss it back, for him to catch the sandwich he's given back, followed by several other items, all of which were thrown literally from right in front of them. The Ghostbusters visibly look at him in incredulity about how the HELL he did it. Though this also works when taken at face value. It might be the amazing way people naturally react to Kevin, or an after-effect of him having been their puppet-master, or a combination of both.

Wrong Genre Savvy: In the real world where there is no scientific evidence for ghosts, Martin Heiss would have been completely correct to be skeptical of the Ghostbusters. In the film's universe, where there is a history of paranormal incidents his demanding the team show him a ghost leads to him getting knocked out a window to his death.

How Do I Shot Web?
 Ghostbusters (2016) / int_21fd09a7
comment
How Do I Shot Web?: The movie explicitly shows the girls' ghostbusting tech in either preliminary stages, like the subway scene with the proton pack, or being tested in the alley. The only tech that isn't explicitly shown this way is Erin's proton shotgun/Hand Cannon. Conceivably, Holtzmann worked off-screen on changing it from the lead pipe earlier seen.

Mythology Gag
 Ghostbusters (2016) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: In a cross with Freeze-Frame Bonus, one Times Square ad is "That's a Big Twinkie". Slimer puts in an appearance, as well as a female version. And like in the second movie, he's driving. The final 1920s parade balloon ghost is the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, who nearly kills three of the Ghostbusters. Crossing with Freeze-Frame Bonus, the LEDs on Holtzmann's pack read "1984", the year the original movie came out. The first place the 'Busters see as a potential headquarters is the same location used in the original film (Hook & Ladder Company 8, which in real life is still in operation). Whereas in the original, it was severely dilapidated and they only chose the location because Ray liked the fire pole, in the reboot they all love it but can't afford the $21,000/month rent. They move there in the end after the Mayor decides to support them. Once Abby asks "Who You Gonna Call?" the television behind them starts a show named "Ghost Jumpers". The villain again makes a giant version of something a Ghostbuster thought would be harmless-the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man in the original movie, a monstrous Bedsheet Ghost based on the Ghostbusters logo here). The remaining Ghostbusters backing away once one of them mentions having a "nuclear accelerator" on their back. All of the Remake Cameos, as listed in their entry below. When Erin is removed from the restaurant, she pulls on a tablecloth, with rather less success than Venkman had in the original. One of the stingers at the end of the movie has Patty listening to an EVP recording and suddenly asking "What's Zuul?" Zuul being one of Gozer's harbingers in the original Ghostbusters movie, best known for possessing Sigourney Weaver. Here's a subtle one: In the original film, Winston told the mayor, "I've seen shit that'll turn you white!" When they emerge from the portal at the end, Abby and Erin both have white hair. When we first see Abby, she is wearing what looks like a crash-helmet covered in electronics, similar to the helmet Rick Moranis briefly wore in the original movie when Egon was studying him. While trying to think of a flyer slogan, Abby comes up with "If there's something strange in your neighborhood..." before being cut off. Ghost Rowan asks the Ghostbusters to choose his form for the final battle, as Gozer did in the first Ghostbusters. The earlier scene where Abby tries to talk Rowan down inverts part of that confrontation with Gozer: instead of Ray being unable to avoid thinking of something, Abby isn't able to think of anything but "soup". A taxi driver utters the famous "I ain't afraid of no ghosts!" line. Big Bad Rowan's motivations are similar to that of Ivo Shandor, the Gozer-worshipping architect and cult-leader from the backstory of the first movie (and Big Bad of the 2009 video game). Shandor, like Rowan believed that humanity was sick and needed to be wiped out. Shandor's belief stemmed from the horrors of World War I and Rowan's come from being bullied his whole life. The Ghostbusters' answering machine recording is Kevin saying "Ghostbusters, what do you want?", referencing Janine Melnitz's rather biting delivery of the line in the first film. Janine's actress, Annie Potts, even says "What do you want?" during her Remake Cameo, exactly like she did in the mentioned scene. Near the end, the giant logo monster steps on a taxi cab like the Statue of Liberty stepped on a police cruiser in Ghostbusters II. Erin having a meltdown at the Mayor in the middle of his fancy dinner is a call back to the scene in Ghostbusters 2 wherein Ray and Winston are desperate to convince Venkman of a serious threat while he's at a fancy dinner. The ghost that chases Patty in the subway is a direct reference to the Scoleri Brothers, the first two ghosts to show up in Ghostbusters II — criminals who were sent to the electric chair. Kevin does something irrelevant during the climax which he mistakenly thinks defeats the main villain, much like Louis Tully in Ghostbusters 2. The film's opening sequence in Aldridge Manor features a portrait of Gertrude Aldridge, who murdered all of the house's servants and was locked in the basement for the rest of her life. The portrait is of a woman wearing a rather nasty scowl on her face, and seems much like Vigo the Carpathian's portrait from Ghostbusters II. Holtzmann's appearance seems to have been based off of Egon Spengler's design in The Real Ghostbusters, especially the pompadour. Paul Feig said it was unintentional, as the hair team did not know about it. Similarly, the Mercado receptionist played by Annie Potts spots pointy glasses that were only ever worn by the animated Janine Melnitz. The scene where Erin rescues Abby from the portal also references The Real Ghostbusters episode "The Hole In The Wall Gang," specifically the scene where Ray is pulled through a portal to the ghost world and comes back with white hair. At the very end Erin attempts to go back to a variation on her natural color with Garfield hair dye. The orange cat has shared voice actors with both animated and live-action Peter Venkman. The grenade Holtzmann designs that's "only dangerous to ghosts" is essentially the Ghost Bomb from The Real Ghostbusters episode "The Bogeyman Cometh." Erin started studying the supernatural because she was haunted as a child by a ghost who appeared in her room night after night — just like the animated series revealed about Egon and the Bogeyman. The logo ghost becoming a free walking and dangerous apparition also references The Real Ghostbusters, where the ghost does something very similar in the Title Sequence. The "ghost" hood ornament owes something to the ECTO-1 of the cartoon show, which used a No-Ghost logo in the same way. The haunting locales are plotted on a map to pinpoint the imminent vortex's position, similar to how the guys in Ghostbusters: The Video Game transposed the mandala over a map to find the other hauntings. An early script for the original Ghostbusters involved the characters travelling to different time periods during the battle with Gozer. In the new film, Rowan transforms parts of New York into how they looked during New York's "golden age" (apparently the 1970s) and the Ghostbusters battle various ghosts from various historical periods, including Pilgrims and a 1920s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The early Ghost Smashers script, which took place in the future, specified that the 'Busters tooled around in a 1970s/1980s-era Cadillac hearse/ambulance, which these Busters happen to use.

Theme Music Power-Up: The iconic bridge from Ray Parker Jr.'s 1984 theme shows up in the remake soundtrack during the climactic ghost fight ("Battle of Times Square"), as Holtzmann grabs a pair of forgotten proton pistols and dual-wields her way through an entire ghost army. Apart from being awesome on general principle, it's also one of only two times any of the original musical themes show up in the remake soundtrack (the first is the intro, which plays over the mansion tour guide being terrified into ruining his pants courtesy of Gertrude Aldridge.)

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Ghostbusters (2016) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Erin is on track for tenure at Columbia University. Abby and Holtzmann videotape her getting slimed by a ghost, and delightfully talking about it. They then post it online, where it goes viral that Erin's boss sees it. He quickly fires her for unprofessionalism. The same thing happens with Abby and Holtzmann's boss when they ask him to hire Erin, only he is the unprofessional one. A real estate agent shows the women a huge space in a fancy area in New York. They all get excited by its cleanliness and potential. How much is the rent? $21,000 per month. They have to settle for the second floor of a Chinese restaurant. Martin Heiss shows up without an appointment to the Ghostbusters address, clearly planning to bust them with a surprise inspection. Abby and Holtzmann warn him that the ghost they caught is violent and needs a proper containment area; he doesn't believe them, motivating Erin to show the proof. When he finds out that they're telling the truth, all he can do is stand in place before the ghost tosses him out of a window. Ignoring the extended cut, Erin has a trauma reaction to a man dying in front of her when Rowan commits suicide, unlike her teammates. Martin Heiss was one thing, but Rowan is another. She takes a break from the Ghostbusters because it's one thing to disintegrate ghosts and another to have someone die, and in such a gruesome fashion. The Mayor and his aide try their best to cover up the masquerade, reasoning that people aren't ready to learn that ghosts are real. That doesn't last by the end; news journalists are pointing out they saw New York swallowed by spirits with the police incapacitated so it seems to be an irresponsible government coverup.

Actionized Reboot: The special effects advancements of the 2010s have allowed the movie to feature actual fight scenes between the Ghostbusters and the ghosts, with punching and weapons. There is certainly more action compared to the climax of the original movie, in which most of the action from the Ghostbusters amounted to moving the tips of their proton blasters close together.

Acrofatic: Melissa McCarthy, who is heavyset, is able to do a no-handed cartwheel while wearing a proton pack. Given that Abby mentions in-character that the pack "feels like it's compressing my spine" and the actress states in a behind-the-scenes interview that the prop is heavier than one of her co-stars, this is quite an impressive feat.

Crazy-Prepared: Jillian. Not only does she keep coming up with any number of gadgets for any kind of situation where you might need to eradicate a ghost, but she also apparently anticipated that she would meet her demise through being crushed by a spectral version of a Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, so she made a point to give Erin (the only Ghostbuster who does not end up under the balloon with her) a pen knife, while stressing that she should carry it all the time.

Sassy Black Woman: Patty's role as an MTA worker turned Ghostbuster appears to be this in the trailers, but it's downplayed in the film: she's not appreciably more acerbic than the other Ghostbusters (she is, in fact, quite warm and friendly), and her practical knowledge of the city and its history, as well as her social connections, turn out to be the important part of her character in the film.

Magic Versus Science: This time around ghosts are little more than pests to be exterminated when confronted by the power of science. They're only able to become a true threat when harnessed by a human using science, which he at least partially copied from the Ghostbusters' own technology. Effectively: Science is fighting itself, and Magic is helpless and caught in the middle.

He also continues to be polite even as his plan unfolds and comes to fruition. However he doesn't hesitate to make it clear how low his opinion of most people is, and clearly has some kind of superiority complex.

Many frequent Paul Feig collaborators also make small appearances. invoked Dave "Gruber" Allen and Steve Bannos, from Freaks and Geeks, play the subway ghost and the flasher ghost in the finale, respectively. Jessica Chaffin and Jamie Denbo, who had roles in both Spy and The Heat, appear as a couple of diner waitresses bickering over who has to serve Rowan. Adam Ray, also of both films, appears as an opening act for Ozzy Osbourne, as well as voicing Slimer. Karan Soni, of Other Space, appears as an incompetent delivery boy for a Chinese restaurant. Joining him in smaller roles are co-stars Bess Rous as the Gertrude Aldridge ghost, Eugene Cordero as the bass player at the Ozzy Osbourne concert, and Milana Vayntrub as a homeless person in the subway. (And, of course, Neil Casey has a much larger role.)

Domestic Abuse: Erin's ex-boyfriend Phil in his Establishing Character Moment where he tries to control what Erin is wearing and what Erin is doing and criticizing her wardrobe. Not to mention, when Erin goes to kiss him on the cheek, he turns her down in favor of one of his friends seeing him, leaving Erin to awkwardly kiss him on the shoulder. The final nail in the coffin is when Erin gets fired from the university and Phil turns his back on her, literally as he doesn't want to face her nor be seen with her or associated with her anymore.

Creative Closing Credits The Rowan-possessed Kevin the receptionist turns the police, SWAT team, and the DHS agents into his very own puppetmastered dance party to the tune of "Get Ghost!" Some of his hip-shakin' dance moves actually knock the credits out of alignment as they scroll up the screen. The credits being manipulated continues even as the dance scene ends: beams, flying ghosts, etc. bump on the scrolling names, and the Ghostbusters trap sucks a "shadow" of the text above it. The Ghostbusters' equipment gets closeup shots, and the women themselves each get an action shot of themselves in the credits. There are also several Stingers that require viewers to stay all the way to the end of the credits.

Our Ghosts Are Different
 Ghostbusters (2016) / int_66479d0
comment
Our Ghosts Are Different: Of all kinds, including humanoids, a gargoyle-like demon, a chittering Swarm of Rats, and parade balloons. The method of ghostbusting is also much freer than the originals. In the originals, the ghosts were confined with proton streams and then sucked into the trap: that was essentially the only way the boys could deal with the average ghost. Here, while the girls can still do the zap-and-trap, the ghosts can also be defeated (maybe even "killed") by the various weapons, without bothering with the trapnote Of course, the ley lines end up acting like a giant ghost trap at the end, rendering the need for a trap mostly moot.

Breaking the Fellowship
 Ghostbusters (2016) / int_67d0342c
comment
Breaking the Fellowship: We don't see the scene where it occurs, but it is implied that this has briefly happened to Erin and the other Ghostbusters following the "fake arrest" at the Mercado Hotel; Erin is separate from the other Ghostbusters for a significant portion of the third act, her plot and character arc has involved the tension created by her desire for academic respect / approval and her work with the Ghostbusters, and her Big Damn Heroes moment where she saves the others from the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man plays like the triumphant return of an estranged member of the band after a 10-Minute Retirement. However, watching the longer cut, the change is far less jarring — and still the additional deleted scenes give even more emphasis on the developments.

Understatement: It is stated during the confrontation with the Big Bad that, once the portal to the Other Side is opened, the dead will return to 'pester' the living. Erin points out that this doesn't sound so bad. The Big Bad clarifies that this 'pestering' will take the form of torture, death and carnage. The Ghostbusters then remark that 'pester' is a poor choice of words for what he's describing, and 'apocalypse' would probably be a more fitting one.

In conversation with themselves and others, the Ghostbusters have a tendency to get sidetracked and derail the conversation into irrelevant tangents. For example, an argument in the Mayor's office about the need for The Masquerade somehow turns into a squabble between Erin and Abby arguing over the meaning of the phrase "the cat's out of the bag".

comment
The film's teaser trailer mentions that the original film happened "30 years ago", implying that this film was a Passing the Torch continuation of the original series similar to Creed or The Force Awakens. The original cast having not-yet-disclosed roles in the film also seemed to support this. The film is actually a complete Continuity Reboot of the series, and the original actors play unrelated, minor characters.

Establishing Character Moment: A subtle example; at the beginning, after pranking Erin with the "EVP" fart joke, Abby and Jillian remark that no-one else had even come over to listen, let alone listened intently like Erin had. It's a sign that Erin is more of a believer than she wants to admit, since the likely reason no-one else even came over was because they didn't believe in Electronic Voice Projection to begin with.

Forbidden Chekhov's Gun: The standard edition basically says "don't fire at the Ecto-1 because it has a nuke". The extended edition sets up and uses the same "crossing the streams" mechanic as in the original film, but it doesn't work.

Bathos: Many scenes in the movie that end with either over-the-top absurdity or toilet humor. Or both. The exception is Holtzmann's toast at the end. She was serious for as long as it took to say it, and for Patty to say thank you.

comment
Big Bad Rowan's motivations are similar to that of Ivo Shandor, the Gozer-worshipping architect and cult-leader from the backstory of the first movie (and Big Bad of the 2009 video game). Shandor, like Rowan believed that humanity was sick and needed to be wiped out. Shandor's belief stemmed from the horrors of World War I and Rowan's come from being bullied his whole life.

Made of Iron: The proton packs take a lot of punishment in this movie, mostly from having Ghostbusters fall onto them, but also from a deliberate attempt at sabotage. They don't seem any worse for wear. Justified, as Holtzmann built them. While testing out the proton pack, Abby gets smashed around the alleyway pretty hard, bouncing off the pavement and brick walls, but suffers no ill-effects.

Dance Party Ending: Spoofed and played with. Ghost Master Rowan has possessed Kevin and manipulates dozens of police, SWAT officers, and National Guard soldiers into a number of increasingly elaborate and ridiculous dances over the closing credits. It's implied to be what Rowan was doing while waiting for the Ghostbusters to arrive. This scene was meant for the film proper, but was cut due to pacing, then added back with the Creative Closing Credits constructed around it. The original scene was restored in the extended edition.

The Missus and the Ex
 Ghostbusters (2016) / int_add9abb3
comment
The Missus and the Ex: The initial dynamic between Erin, Abby and Holtzmann plays something like this; although never (overtly identified as) a romantic couple, Erin and Abby were research partners and friends until Erin 'dumped' Abby, leading to initial tension and awkwardness when Erin reenters Abby's life only to find that Abby has replaced her with Holtzmann, a younger, more dynamic and confident partner with whom she appears to gel better. Gradually downplayed, however, as beyond that initial tension Erin and Abby gradually begin to renew their friendship and, beyond some initial protectiveness and teasing, Holtzmann doesn't show that much hostility towards Erin (and in fact seems much fonder of flirting incessantly with her).

The DHS guys twist the women's arms behind their backs and say "Stop Resisting" even though Abby and Erin are going along quietly. "You spell science with a 'Y'!"

The haunting locales are plotted on a map to pinpoint the imminent vortex's position, similar to how the guys in Ghostbusters: The Video Game transposed the mandala over a map to find the other hauntings.

Berserk Button: The Mayor of New York really, really doesn't like being compared to the Mayor from the movie Jaws. Patty really doesn't like it when you pick on Kevin. The ever-laid-back Holtzmann loses it if her equipment is vandalized, almost as a mother would react to someone hurting her children. According to the extended cut, some Asshole Victim brings up Erin's past and calling her "ghost girl" and told her "go back to therapy, you freak!"... not a smart move, and Erin decks him for it.

Hollywood Homely: Played with. Erin dresses extremely conservatively while at Columbia for fear of appearing "too sexy". She relaxes that style some once teamed up with Abby and Jillian, but remains socially awkward and nervous, even when trying to be flirty and social. Abby cultivates an attitude of not caring what other people think, but on the back of the book, she and Erin both have very elegant author photos.

Abby tells him that while people can suck, the little things that bring them joy, like "soup," aren't.

comment
Appropriated Appellation: The team starts out with a long-winded, scientifically accurate, official sounding name but, after the media starts calling them "Ghostbusters" and they can't shake the name, they just go along with it. The logo is taken from a tag sprayed by a graffiti artist when he's interviewed as a possible witness to the subway ghost. He draws the "no" symbol when Patty tells him to stop painting the ghost. Everyone else rushes away, but Holtzmann takes a photograph and later paints the image on the side of the Ecto-1. Erin was derisively known as "ghost girl" in school due to her haunting experience. At the end, Abby calls her this and she says that she will gladly accept it as a title.

Shout-Out
 Ghostbusters (2016) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Invoked: Patrick Swayze movies, especially Ghost (1990). For Rule of Funny, the reference is jumbled with Dirty Dancing. They suggest adding in Roadhouse 1989 to complete the reference train wreck. Poltergeist: in which interacting too closely with the other side turns one's hair shock white. Also, the fact that Erin clamped a cable on herself to go after Abby, and the other two women had to tow them back from the other side. Jaws: another invoked example as Abby calls the Mayor of New York out for behaving like the Mayor in that - a comparison no politician wants to receive. The Exorcist: Possession themes and the whole scene where Abby is possessed (featuring the 360-degree head spin, spewing green goo everywhere (in the extended version), and "The power of * compels you!"). Kevin, while possessed, does another head spin while dancing. Patty references Oprah Winfrey when she brings the hearse to their headquarters. Holtzmann's name is a reference to the Holtzman Effect that makes folding space possible in Dune; her gadgets are used to close a hole between dimensions. The plastic dummies that come to life and chase Patty are reminiscent of the Auton duplicates in Doctor Who. During the final confrontation with Rowan, Holtzman sings "Come out, come out, wherever you are..." Some of the ghostbusting equipment strongly resembles the Fentons'. The Ghost Chipper works the same way as the Ecto Converter from the Danny Phantom episode "Secret Weapons" (the difference being Holtzmann's is intended to shred ghosts, while for the Fentons, it was an irrelevant side-effect). The Proton Glove is essentially (one of) the Ghost Gloves introduced in "Splitting Images." Martin Heiss also refers to the (now cylindrical) Ghost Trap as a "thermos." ScarFace: Erin shouting "Say hello to my little friend!" when firing a proton cannon at ghosts at the climatic battle. The show "Ghost Jumpers" that Abby derides as the public perception of paranormal science, and from which the team indirectly takes their name, is a reference to Ghost Hunters, which in a strange recursion, was itself named after the original Ghostbusters. In her first few scenes, Holtzmann is wear a green shirt and blue overalls. Kinda like another paranormal investigator. Rowan's plot glens a bit from Lollipop Chainsaw as that game's villain, Swan, was likewise bullied in life and turned to supernatural forces to exact his revenge. Right down to killing himself to enact his final phase of his plan and even summoning a giant monster. Though, unlike Swam, who did so to summon said monster. Rowan is said monster.

Freudian Excuse

comment
Freudian Excuse: Rowan the janitor hates humanity because he's always been treated poorly by other people and thinks that the world, as a result, is garbage. That's why he's decided to be the bad guy. It's lampshaded as he immediately assumes that the Ghostbusters could never understand what he's been through, only for them to point out that the world at large isn't nice to them either. In a heroic example, Erin proves to be so excited about proving ghosts exist because she was haunted by one as a tween. Once she told her parents about it, she was sent to therapy and consequently ridiculed and humiliated through her entire academic life for it until she turned her back on parapsychology and became hell-bent on being taken as serious and sane.

 Ghostbusters (2016) / int_dca70c44
comment
Reasonable Authority Figure: Played with; the Mayor, his assistant and the Homeland Security agents actually are aware of the paranormal situation (in general terms, at least, since they're clearly not prepared for the specifics) and in private are willing to work with and take the Ghostbusters seriously. In public, however, they ridicule, humiliate and demean them in order to maintain The Masquerade.

Ship Tease: In the film-as-released, Holtzmann seems particularly keen on flirting with Erin, but it's made more overt in the extended version. A deleted scene involves her actually claiming that she and Erin are dating... much to Erin's surprise.

Kevin, who is mostly dopey, has his own jerkass moments: He picks up the phone and hangs up on callers because he's "just not into that conversation" and stops to get a sandwich at the deli under the pretense of looking for the Ghostbusters during the fray. Considering the fact that he is the team's ditz (and the fact the Ghostbusters go to rescue him mainly because he just figured out how to properly answer the phone) he literally just may not know any better.

Ambiguously Gay: Invoked on a meta-level. Holtzmann is constantly flirtatious with a mildly awkward but still flattered Erin. It's only "ambiguous" in name. Feig strongly implies he didn't come right out and make it plain only because the studio would have objected. Her actress Kate McKinnon is a lesbian too. There are hints with Abby, as well. Not only is she not attracted to Kevin, but she seems surprised that anyone could be. And she repeatedly describes the female ghost at the Aldridge Mansion as the most beautiful thing she's ever seen, even though she never displays such...adoration for any of the other ghosts.

Unexplained Recovery: The Aldridge Mansion tour guide gets himself trapped in a cellar, hanging from a collapsed staircase, above a slowly rising pool of slime, with a vengeful ghost who, in life, killed several people. The door is locked and, as he was the only person inside the building, there is no hope of rescue. Yet when he's next seen, he's completely unhurt, having only ruined his trousers.

Jerkass: The "dean" of the university Abby and Jillian were working for. He dresses them down and then does an unnecessarily elaborate Flipping the Bird as he tells them to get out. The Mayor and his assistant, who feel that discrediting the Ghostbusters despite them really doing a valued service for the city, is the best way to avoid panic — no matter how cruel it is to the women. The Graffiti Artist who vexes Patty while she works in the subway; he thinks it's his gallery. Erin's boss at Columbia is very strict about everything, even down to how she dresses. The fact her boss is Tywin Lannister only helps sell this. Kevin, who is mostly dopey, has his own jerkass moments: He picks up the phone and hangs up on callers because he's "just not into that conversation" and stops to get a sandwich at the deli under the pretense of looking for the Ghostbusters during the fray. Considering the fact that he is the team's ditz (and the fact the Ghostbusters go to rescue him mainly because he just figured out how to properly answer the phone) he literally just may not know any better.

Erin wanted to hire him because he is just so damn pretty, while the other girls went along with it because he was the only applicant.

Same Race Means Related: A particular egregious example, since the majority of the main actors from the original Ghostbusters (1984) make appearances as different characters in this film, from Sigourney Weaver to Bill Murray. When Ernie Hudson (who was famously kept off of the first film's poster and had to deal with a script downgrade that made his Ghostbuster the only one who wasn't a parapsychology professor) makes his appearance, he's playing the uncle to the character portrayed by Leslie Jones (who also was the sole non-white Ghostbuster and not a parapsychology professor). None of the returning white actors played characters related to the new generation of white Ghostbusters.

Product Placement: Of the self-serving kind. There's a giant ad for Sony's Blu-ray format in Times Square. Furthermore, all the "ghost posters" that appear as Manhattan billboards (including Taxi Driver and Tommy) are movies that were produced by the film's production company, Columbia Pictures, which Sony also owns. One of the logos suggested by Kevin for the ghost-hunting business is just the 7-11 logo. They also eat Papa John's pizza in a scene reminiscent of "this magnificent feast represents the last of the petty cash." Jillian also eats Pringles when confronting a ghost. Enterprise Rent-a-car is also mentioned when Patty acquires the hearse.

Dude, Where's My Respect?: The Ghostbusters are faced with skepticism and mockery at every turn. People make fun of them on their YouTube videos, the government of New York denounces them as attention-seeking pranksters, and they just can't seem to catch a break. Until the very end, anyway. Rowan could relate, seeing as he had the same proclivity with ghosts as Erin did in life. Only difference was that his resentment towards his resenter's opted him to erase the bastardization called mankind from the world.

Running Gag: Abby is constantly disappointed with the soup she receives from the Chinese food restaurant, which only contains a single wonton. Turns into a Brick Joke at the end credits when the Ghostbusters are famous and beloved by NY, her delivery guy shows up with a soup container packed chock-a-block with wontons... which she's still disappointed with. Erin somehow always comes into close contact with ectoplasmic goo. She even asks if the slime has a personal thing against her. Erin's infatuation with Kevin. Kevin being completely unable to answer the phone properly. Kevin keeps forgetting that he hates coffee... until after he takes a sip. Alone or together, the main characters keep indulging in impromptu dances, sometimes even when possessed, putting out fires, or engaged in combat. In conversation with themselves and others, the Ghostbusters have a tendency to get sidetracked and derail the conversation into irrelevant tangents. For example, an argument in the Mayor's office about the need for The Masquerade somehow turns into a squabble between Erin and Abby arguing over the meaning of the phrase "the cat's out of the bag".

Canon Immigrant: This isn't the first time Ghostbusters use grenade weaponry if you recall the Proton Grenades from the IDW continuity.

Accidental Murder
 Ghostbusters (2016) / int_fd497706
comment
Accidental Murder: The Ghostbusters accidentally cause the death of Heiss by releasing a dangerous ghost on him, although one can argue about how much he deserved it, how much he provoked them into freeing the ghost, or even if he's really dead. Also, the foreword of the tie-in Defictionalization of Yate's and Gilbert's book is written from his perspective and mentions a broken neck from falling out of a second-story window, and that he's writing it as a ghost.

comment
The tour guide who encounters Gertrude Aldridge could be considered the Spear Counterpart of the original film's librarian, both of whom have similar run-ins with a female specter and are asked embarrassingly personal questions about said encounter.

Brick Joke

comment
Abby is constantly disappointed with the soup she receives from the Chinese food restaurant, which only contains a single wonton. Turns into a Brick Joke at the end credits when the Ghostbusters are famous and beloved by NY, her delivery guy shows up with a soup container packed chock-a-block with wontons... which she's still disappointed with.

Buffy Speak: Discussed, as Patty even says she's calling the weird device a "sparky thing" because she doesn't know what it is.

comment
Pet the Dog: Rather parodied. Patty's relentless cheerfulness is wasted on the cranky and crazy subway riders. Rowan attempts to comfort her by assuring her "the laborers" will be the last to die in the coming apocalypse. Perhaps he saw her as a comrade in blue collar work; Patty just sees him as another undiagnosed nut job she has to deal with. Subverted when Rowan gives Kevin back. He says, "You can have him" and proceeds to toss Kevin's body from a potentially fatal height.
