Common Thought of Sir Rantsalot

With the incredible success of the first one, a sequel had to be made. The hype got even bigger due to mass merchandising (more on that later), and brought about a fan base as big as Star Wars!

In 2, Manhattan is getting ready for the last decade before the new millenium, and a river of slime is overflowing beneath New York. A painting of pure evil is put up in a museum, and it’s believed to be the root of all the bad happenings. There’s definitely a lot more comedy involved. I remember seeing this in theaters and dying from laughter.

Eddie Murphy was originally supposed to be Winston Zeddemore, but we all know how annoying that would have been. Ernie Hudson is more down-to-earth and has a perfect fit as Winston.

After the films and the cartoons (more on that next blog), the DVD’s were released, and were on high demand, that re-ignited the fanbase who’ve been longing for a 3rd to be released but, due to the stubborness of Bill Murray and high budgets, it’s on hold… possibly forever.

It didn’t stop the fans from making their own visions of what could’ve happened after the second film.

A good majority of fans have done films online, such as Ghostbusters: The Animated Series (In one of the episodes, they encounter the Necronomicon from Evil Dead… TIGHT!), and Freddy VS Ghostbusters, which features Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street (obviously it’s a shot at Freddy VS Jason).

More is to be expected.

Next will be about the merchandise.
