The newspaper headlines seen in the "Ghost Fever Grips New York" montage from "Ghostbusters" (1984) are visible on the walls of Peter's apartment.  Ivan Reitman's children, Jason and Catherine, both appear in the film (as they do in many of his films from the late 1980s to present). Jason is the kid at the birthday party who says to Ray, "My Dad says you're full of crap." Catherine is the girl Egon was conducting the affection test on. Venkman's female guest on "World of the Psychic" is played by an unbilled Chloe Webb, who had previously starred in Ivan Reitman's "Twins" (1988). Bobby Brown, who sings the movie's theme song "On Our Own," appears as the mayor's doorman. In the scene where the Titanic arrives in New York, the harbourmaster is none other than Cheech Marin of Cheech and Chong fame. It is he who utters the line: "Better late than never." -Thanks to Benny P and Jonathan LimThe control panel rigged in the Statue of Liberty is in fact a NES Advantage joystick. This was an add-on joystick for Nintendo's NES game console, which dominated the videogame market in the 80's. A brief, but clear shot of the joystick is shown just after the Ghostbusters have finished bringing the statue to life. -Thanks to V. KräTkeAll the shots of the cast during the end credits (including Slimer) were from scenes cut out of the film. An episode of the films' spin-off cartoon series, "The Real Ghostbusters" features a storyline that continues "GB II", and can be found on the new edition of the 2-pack of Ghostbusters films. -Thanks to Amy GreenStar Bill Murray told "Entertainment Weekly" magazine he was ultimately dissatisfied with"GB II", saying "It was a whole lot of slime, and not much of us". -Thanks to Amy GreenDuring the huge "Jell-O Mold" slime scene at the outside of the museum, a scene that was cut but was included in the theatrical trailer involved Ray talking to Lenny, the Mayor saying "If we don't do something by midnight, you will go down in history as the man who let New York get sucked down into the 10th level of Hell!". Later on the actual film, we actually hear Lenny talking to the New York officials saying "I am NOT going to go down in history as the man who let New York get sucked down into the 10th level of Hell! Now we need help, alright? Now where are the Ghostbusters?"! -Thanks to Phil SmithOnce Louis Tully had become a Ghostbuster in Ghostbusters II, the cartoon show, The Real Ghostbusters, added an animated version of Louis on the show and had him working for the Ghostbusters. -Thanks to Phil SmithBen Stein ("Win Ben Stein's Money", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off") has a brief cameo as a public works official! Don't blink or you'll miss him! -Thanks to Phil SmithThe ending for this movie was allegedly totally improvised during filming. They had no idea how to end the movie, so they went back to the idea of crossing the streams and said the idea swung both ways. The movie went into production before the script was even finished! -Thanks to Joe Gariffo« Click here to add some Ghostbusters II trivia  Find much more great trivia in the filmmaker's commentary on the Ghostbusters II DVD.Rediscover your favorites!
