New Ghostbusters Figures

[FlyAndFight]

I missed out on the early Toyfair excitement on these so just caught up. Excellent news on the 12" figures so far. This Lavatiki is providing some excellent info.

"...working and removable trap containment piece with light AND working cyclotron LED lights!" EXCELLENT news!!

 

[karamazov80]

Yes, have some.

That would be a funny extra.

Funniest scene in the movie:

John Candy was almost cast as Tully.

 

[ProgMatinee]

John Candy was almost cast as Tully.

Thank God that didn't happen. Candy paired with Sigourny would have been really weird. I think it works well with her blowing off the shrimpy dork.

I also count my blessings that Belushi didn't do this film.

I do wonder how the film would have turned out with Eddie Murphy as Winston. You really can't make that film better than it is, Eddie may have thrown it way over the top ridiculous.

 

[Deckard]

Could have been

Ray Stantz - Dan Aykroyd
Egon Spengler - Jeff Goldblum
Peter Venkman - John Belushi
Winston Zeddamore - Eddie Murphy
Luis Tulley - John Candy

John Candy was almost cast as Tully.

yeah that would have been weird. dotn get me wrong, i love john candy and hes been involved in some of the funniest movies but i dont think he could put the 'geekiness' across enough for louis tully. john candys more on the ball kinda of character so to play a bumbling geeky next door neigbour is hard to see. esp next to sig weaver.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Could have been

Ray Stantz - Dan Aykroyd
Egon Spengler - Jeff Goldblum
Peter Venkman - John Belushi
Winston Zeddamore - Eddie Murphy
Luis Tulley - John Candy

Possibly the worst movie ever.

It would have totally defeated the point of casting a tall woman like Sigourny.

 

[Shropt]

Could have been

Ray Stantz - Dan Aykroyd
Egon Spengler - Jeff Goldblum
Peter Venkman - John Belushi
Winston Zeddamore - Eddie Murphy
Luis Tulley - John Candy

Possibly the worst movie ever.

No joke. The movie would have had no serious moments at all.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

John Candy's Tully was a different approach at Louis. He was supposed to be a sleazy ladies man with pick-up lines like "If I told you that you had a great body would you hold it against me?"

Great line!

 

[Deckard]

Possibly the worst movie ever.

Could have been worse. Could have been,

Dan Aykroyd
Steve Martin
Chevy Chase
Martin Short

And Louis has alot of funny lines in GB but my fav has to be "Boy the superintendents gonna be pissed."

 

[Kuzeh]

With all the hype due to the figures,
I just watched GB last night, man what an awesome flick!!!
Everyone in the cast is perfect in their characters!!
I still remember when I saw this one in the movie theater!!

BTW, does anybody here have that "Making of Ghostbusters" book?
I've been after it for years....

 

[Mad Old Lu]

My friend's got that book. That's where I found the John Candy/Louis quote. It's a great book. I was so jealous when he showed me!

 

[KingGrayskull]

Goldblum for Spengler... Cmon... Nah...

 

[teabelly83]

Goldblum for Spengler... Cmon... Nah...

yeah that wud be kinda weird to think what he would have been like.
