@@ChristianVBlue3 Its actually an in-joke on New York City politics, as for decades until the 1990s, you had to win support of the Catholic clergy in order to have enough votes to win election to Mayor, otherwise the Catholics would vote for the other candidate who had the clergy's support. It was a lasting part of NYC politics originating in the late 19th Century along with the Tammany Hall political machine (which was dominated by Catholics from Ireland) and remained an important influence long after local politics had adapted to the decline and disappearance of Tammany Hall in the mid 20th Century.
"Well, that's what I HEARD!!" Murray's timing/delivery was perfect in every scene. I love how he throws this one in right when the ruckus dies down for everyone to hear.
Oh, it was a sign alright. A sign that an ancient, ultra-powerful, malignant entity from another dimension known as Gozer was coming to destroy everything.
The amount of dry humor that comes out of this scene is amazing. This is why ghostbusters works. They don't take it too seriously and they know it's ridiculous but some how they make it work so well.
not to mention the budget was so low. It only cost 30 million to make and worldwide the movie took in over 300 million. Not to mention the merchandise sales that came from it.
“I’m Winston Zeddemore, your honor. I’ve only been with the company a couple of weeks, but I gotta tell you, these things ARE REAL. Since I’ve joined these men, I have seen SHIT that’ll turn you WHITE!!!!” The police commissioner’s reaction to this quote makes me laugh every time. Ernie Hudson’s contribution to this movie is supremely underrated. His interview with Janine, the Twinkie discussion, he and Ray’s reverent but eye opening talk in Ecto-1 right before they get arrested are just a few examples of his no bullshit, right on the money delivery of his lines.
Ernie Hudson understood the assignment perfectly. Play the straight man, let the comedic geniuses do their thing. Laurel had Hardy. Abbot had Costello. The Ghostbusters had Winston.
“I think that’s a smart move, Mike.” LMAO!! I’ve seen this a million times and never noticed he called that cardinal by his first name so casually. 😂 Love this movie.
“I’ve seen every form of combustion known to man...but this beats the hell outta me.” Such a fantastic but often forgotten quote from the FDNY officer!
Cardinal! priest < bishop < cardinal < pope _The mayor addresses him as “Your Eminence” and his hat (zucchetto) and sash are both scarlet, which makes him a cardinal - a ‘prince’ of the Roman Catholic Church; which back then, was still a pretty big deal in New York City, when it had a population that lent heavily towards origins both Irish and Italian._
@@oolooo OP is accurate comment but insufficient: it *has to be* both. You _need_ to be a priest to be a bishop (the most significant promotion: deemed to make you a descendant of the apostles; you get your own cathedral and diocese). You _have_ to be a bishop in order to be made a cardinal (politics, talent and ambition). And cardinals are the ones from whom popes are selected (politics, again, and random chance - interpreted by Catholics as “the intervention of the Holy Spirit”). Though, theoretically, the Conclave of Cardinals could choose *any* ordained priest to be pontiff - _The Pope Must Die(t)_ was a 1991 comedy film based on that premise; it’s on CZcams and is pretty funny.
@@michaeljames4904 A shoutout to you on your information, thanks! I did a brief look-up about a year ago for the actor who played the Cardinal, and he was an Irish stage actor who has since passed. Can't remember his name though.....a good actor by all accounts, but not well known. Good minor role in this film though!
Classic line to get a politician to do anything,"But if I'm right and we can stop this thing then... Lenny....You will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters" Awesome
nicholai40 having seen these in backwards order, my only beef with mayor Lenny in the sequel is his initial reintro to them. He didn't seem as happy to see them that time. But considering the unintended destruction in this one, I can understand his original skepticism but that bonehead assistant played by Kurt Fuller, seemed just there for comic relief... Too bad that wasn't a requirement with these films hence the genre... But oh well!
Venkman speaks fluent politician... in terms a mayor... future governor... would understand. Brilliant casting for the role of mayor... totally buy him as the mayor of N.Y., don't you?
For a (at time quite silly) comedy with that uses the formula of big blockbuster film, people can forget how smartly this film is WRITTEN.. The mayors line "You got work to do. What do you need from me?" followed by the shot of the National Guard escorting the Ghostbusters is one of the most perfect transitions to a film's climactic action bit I've ever seen.
Being 37 yrs old now I understand the humor more and more. Thx dan ,harold ,bill, ernie for my favorite childhood heroes. I love winstons facial gestures on the we can go to jail comment. Lol hes like man speak for yourself
Watch Ernie Hudsons (Winston) performance, he doesn't have many lines but everything he does adds to the scene. A proper masterclass. Its a shame the studio cut his role short.
@@jackleighton1566 Honestly I don't know if Murphy could have done the part justice. Ernie is hilarious but in a subdued way, plays the straight man a lot of times. I'm not sure Eddie could do that.
@@JounLord1then you underestimate the 80s Eddie Murphy. There wasn’t a filter back then. I like Ernie and he did a good job but I always wondered what would it be like if Eddie was there.
I think if they had put Murphy in the Winston role it would’ve just been him and Murray trying to upstage each other. Ernie played the Everyman the best and has some of THE best one liners in this film
Headed for a disaster of Biblical proportion... Old Testament, real wrath of God type stuff... fire and brimstone coming down from the skies... rivers and seas boiling... forty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes... the dead rising from the grave... human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... Mass hysteria! Rest in peace, David Margulies (Mayor Lenny), thank you for the laughter and all your fine work as an actor.
as a kid i just thought this was a scene that explained why the ghostbusters were let loose but after 30 years later I truly appreciate how funny this scene is. "DOGS AND CATS LIVING TOGETHER! MASS HYSTERIA!"
The 80's and 90's had some real stinkers too, really bad bad bad stuff. Yeah there are some bad movies today but its always been like that. There has certainly been some really great films the last decade also.
The mayor first kisses the ring of the archibishop then he slaps his cheek like an old friend, and the archibishop is ok with it. This scene looks so perfect.
Some people have made the case that actually Peck is the main antagonist, representing big government overreach and diffusion of responsibility. Some have made the case that Ghostbusters is actually one of the most libertarian movies in modern times. It's an interesting take on it whether you buy it or not.

Taking the name of Richard Thornburg, he used some of his old TV contacts and got a job as a reporter. Unfortunately after that business at Nakatomi Plaza in L.A and the airliner hostage debacle over Washington, he has found happiness as a Doctor Noah Faulkner, living out the rest of his life in a biodome in the desert somewhere.

If the film itself does become successful (possibly more so than the originals), then we're headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! 40 years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria!
what i love is noticing the small hints and gestures that clue you in on what their thinking..in this scene watch when the mayor kisses the archbishops hand you notice that bill and dan both smile knowing they got a pitch they can use..and when they talk they lean heavily on Religious themes to get their point.
