ADAM! I saw this car driving on a flatbed through sac a few weeks ago and had this strange feeling you had something to do with it or were going to in the future. Almost tweeted you but didn’t want to take a video and drive! Seems like you had a lot of fun, cheers buddy! :)
I'm looking forward to more behind the scenes from 'Afterlife".
You must be SO happy, I know how much you LOVE this film !!
It's always rewarding seeing how you interact with other people in your videos, can I, can I ? Never assuming, always polite and reverential.
You Rock Adam !
i can't believe that you do noy ask why is not the ECTO 1A from GB2
@@danielfranceschini1 Because the Ecto 1 (1984) and Ecto 1A are 2 different cars. The car seen in Afterlife is based upon the original Ecto 1.
Let's take a moment to remind, that the Ecto-1 isn't just a prop, It's part of the whole cast. Great seeing that big a smile from ya, Adam
Well said.
This is not the original car….
@@inverted311 we know, whats your point?
@@jjperceval My point, fine sir is that I wanted to make sure, Dragonous up there understood that. 🙃
@@inverted311 I do, it's the character of Ecto-1 overall is what I meant
that smile, that damned smile. you can FEEL the joy and exilaration emanating from Adam
Yeah that moment - Look at Me driving Ecto! Ha Harrrr.
I remember back with Mythbusters, Cory saying something like, "We get paid to blow stuff up." Love all these folks.
its weird but when adam feels joy, I do tooo. i like seeing that man happy :')
@@pvic6959 he is a wholesome spreader of science, crafmanship and joy
@@silevesileve6279 best job in the world!
Let's be honest, a lot of what Adam does comes off like "I feel like a kid again!" but listening to him laugh as he drives the Ecto-1 is a whole different level of childhood dream realized.
That is so accurate it hurts.
There’s just something so right about Adam losing a camera while driving.
He was secretly testing the myth that ectoplasm can be adhesive enough to hold a camera, and from what we saw it got busted.
@@PointReflex Only one camera fell out of several, so there would appear to be some circumstances where it did work. That’s a Plausible verdict.
Right?!
I love that they included the camera drop, that was awesome to see.
This man is part of the Blade Runner Universe, he has worked for ILM making space ships for Star Wars and now he’s driven Ecto 1, Adam is who I wanted to grow up to be when I was a child. Awesome stuff thanks for Sharing this Mr Savage.
Such a shame it doesn't actually have the siren... Imagine driving that thing with the siren going! 🥰
I was thinking the same thing
yasssss!!!
I missed that sound
Sad, but true.
The classic siren has always been added in post production. But there are ways to have it added to any car with a loud enough speaker under the hood and an mp3 file. ;)
Some friends and I did Halloween years ago as Ghostbusters. We got to the party in a white Subaru wagon with 2 flashing red lights and the siren blaring thru the speakers. It was epic.
In life Adam has already beat the main game and now he's just doing all the side quests.
I wish he'd tell me how to get past level 15...
I know right? Mythbusters was a massive hit. And now he gets to do his hobbies and we all seem to love his hobbies!!!!
This made my heart smile. What a freaking amazing experience.
Watching Adam light up just sitting in the driver's seat made me tear up. He'll never stop being a big kid who appreciates all the nostalgic things that make us happy.
I hope to still have that sense of childhood awe and wonder about life when I'm Adam's age.
I love that they kept the footage of the GoPro falling off and getting retrieved
Right? It was a flashback to all those poor poor cameras on Mythbusters.
@@hazonku Kinda makes me wonder just how many cameras died on Mythbusters. :D
"On a long enough timeline, everything gets an LS." -RCR
BROWN!
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeup.
Exactly what came to mind as soon as he said LS3 lol
Especially movie cars.
For real
That's how you do movie advertising.
Damn fucking right.
Yeah slightly more effective than when actors attack the fans on social media and call them toxic sexist, racist, etc.
@@captainnapalm4173 even funnier when people make assertions like that number waaaay more than actual instances.
This has just exceeded my
COOLNESS-O-METER!!! To see this iconic car once again, I’m geeking out so much!!!
This is the second car Dan aykroyd alongside Sony pictures rebuilt the original car used in the movie either way theses car's are Cool to see.
Dave: "Punch it, punch it, punch it!"
Adam: "Oh, yeaaaaah!"
Me: "I'm in the wrong business. *sigh*"
Really felt Adams happiness through all of this video. Truly something for the bucket list!
Not gonna lie, I got nostalgic and a little emotional watching this. Ecto-1 was and still is, one of the coolest movie cars out there and knowing that she lives and breathes still, is just awesome.
One of my most anticipated films of the year. Can’t wait to see this thing on the big screen.
lets hope its better than the last 1
@@elevown It'll be "alright" but that's all we can hope for at this point
@@jimmyjimjims7483 Your cynical outlook is not my outlook. I have high hopes and expectations.
its getting rave reviews, a friend saw it at cinema con and messaged me knowing how much i love gb. he told me im gonna love it, tons of comedy, 2 after credit scenes, an amazingly written and executed film. he said it was fantastic!!
@@watcherofwatchers It's a big dose of memberberries and not much else.
Absolutely brilliant. Got to love Adam. World-famous but he is truly just the same as you and I. A big kid at heart. Thanks what a car!
My friend and I bought a 1961 Cadillac Millar-Meteor Ambulance for $400 back in the early 90s. Kinda looked like the ECTO-01 now... a lil rust here and there... but that monster always started and handled like a dream. We dressed it up as the ECTO-01 that year for Halloween and drove it around our old neighborhoods passing out candy to the kids. They loved the car and meeting Ghostbusters. I really, REALLY wish we still had that car... many excellent memories. :-)
We live through you, Adam. We accept your reality.
Nice.
Perfect
Don't you mean "we reject our reality, and substitute his"? -_^
@@kitirena_koneko Winner!
When it comes to watching Adam checking out movie props I'm quite controlled, but this one sure did make me jealous :)
I love how Adam hasn't lost his sense of wonder and excitement no matter how many awesome iconic things he gets to interact with. He really helps us feel the excitement of it. Thanks Adam!
Adam and the Ecto-1 is the team up I never knew I’d always wanted.
"Even the biggest ghost trap couldn't capture Adam's excitement."
- Fan-tastic
Even if it weren't the Ecto-1, just having an old beater like that with a new engine and transmission would be great
I'm guessing none of the car is actually a real beater. They built that car and gave it a rust and dirt paint job.
U should build one. An old beater with a new engine is so much fun. Not to mention all the thumbs up u get when u stop for refuels
I have had a similar Ghostbusters experience like Adam driving the Ecto-1. I have met and talked with Bill Bryan the man that built, designed (based on original concept by Dan Aykroyd) and wore the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man suit in the original movie. To me shaking the hand of the man that made and wore the Stay Puft suit for the original movie, is just as epic as Adam driving the Ecto-1. :) He also told me that my cosplay knife I made was great, which that weekend I got Chuck Norris himself to stab me with. Plus having the same birthday as Ernie Hudson is also great. :)
You see *this* is how you promote a movie. Showing somebody who loves the source material having a great time!
Seeing this heroic and iconic super steed from the 80’s brings me comfort in this darker period of time we are living in.
You can literally see and feel the joy coming from Adam! Great video!
He was sooooooo happy.
There’s a lot of argument of what the best movie car is whether it’s the DeLorean, the Batmobile, Christine, the Blues Mobile. None of those cars bring a bigger smile to your face more than the Ecto-1, I smiled with Adam even though I wasn’t in the car with him, it singlehandedly shows that Ecto-1 and Ghostbusters still is one of the greatest 80’s movies of all time.
I personally don't think there's a single best, because all of them are great--the Jet Car from Buckaroo Banzai, the Landmaster-1 from Damnation Alley, Ecto-1, the various Batmobiles, they're all fabulous in their own way.
This video explains a lot. I just watched GB: Afterlife with my kids today, and the ECTO-1 stood out for several reasons. First, we have a car that harkens back to the originals. Very cool. However, when they fired it up in the movie, I immediately perked up...."That cam lope sounds awfully aggressive to me...I think this one's got a rodded crate motor" is what I was thinking to myself in the theater. Then the way the ECTO-1 was driven in Afterlife was incredible. Major credit to the drivers, mechanics and engineers of Afterlife, to see y'all race that beast around the way you did was a real treat, and truly impressive. I came home and went looking for answers on the car and drivers and ended up here.
The way I look at this car... it, itself, is a living being just as the Ghostbusters are, and Ray gave it a second chance at a new life. This car is just as much a character, as the actors themselves. This is the car, THE reason for my love of station wagons, ambulances and hearses from the age of 5 when my mom let me watch the original movie on a rented VHS tape, on a rented VCR. I so can not wait to see how this new movie turns out!
Adam is a smart cookie,
1.can I get in it?
2. Can I start it?
Oh look I might as well drive it 😆
Hello, marketing department’s… this is how integrated marketing is done with great effect… Welll done !!!
I was marketed to and I enjoyed it !! Made me smile even !
I've never been more jealous.
( I made my first Ghostbuster's Backpack in '85. )
Love the original movies. Being a kid of the early 80s... I grew up on them. Super excited that they are continuing the story. Now do goonies please 🙏
OHHHH MY GAWD!!!
SO JEALOUS!!!
As a major gear head, 80s nostalgia lover and movie prop fan... I could die happy if I got to do this!!!!
Also building movie cars is a dream job right up there with imagineer.
THANK YOU for showing us!!!
I'd be interested to see Adam look at the weathering on it, how much is prop-weathering, how much is real.
Ditto. Adam is the king of weathering and distressing props to simulate age and wear, I'd love to see him do a deep dive on that car.
At least some of it is real. The guy had some trouble with the passenger door sticking, and the creaking was definitely "old car don't fit no more" sounds.
Well, I watched this video and then the algorithm suggested another video from the official ghostbusters channel about how it was fully restored a year ago (video published). So either we’re looking at a lot of prop-weathering, or these aren’t the same cars 🤔
@@Mikey_G I think you are talking about the full restoration done for promoting the Ghostbusters video game on 360/PS3? That was over a decade ago, and I think the car was left outside the Sony studio's HQ since then, so could be real weathering? (if the same car)
I believe this is actually the ECTO-1A from Ghostbusters II, the original ECTO-1 was restored a decade ago and sits on display at Sony. The 1A was supposed to be restored at the same time but it never happened. But I'm assuming the majority of weathering on this is prop weathering.
considering how much dust is on the engine, there's a lot of real world dirt on the car.
hands down best Adam smile EVER!!! (and it made me chuckle like me @ 12yrs old again!!)
Seeing and hearing joy from Adam bring me such joy.
So who wasn't smiling along with Adam while also thinking "you lucky, lucky, lucky bas........". Just the sound of that engine 😱😱😱😱🥰
And yes this movie will get me back to a movie theater!! Can’t wait!!
Just got delayed....again. Only a week so far...
@@tomc8157 Dang specters of the Covid virus! 🙁😠
I have always liked how Adam geeks out for ALL of us. Because you know DAYUM well we would be ear to ear grinning like that if in the same position, his laugh at the end summed it up so perfectly. And yes, them loosing a camera took us right back to those Mythbusters days!!
I can confirm that the Miller Meteor is a beast to drive! I got to drive one for a local Ghostbusters group and man what an experience when the sirens are going and you pull in surprising a crowd of people
What year was this MM that you got to drive??
I drove a ‘60 a few years back, really easy to steer and brake, just have to be careful on turns or when backing in anywhere because of the length. If you’ve driven large vans before then it’s pretty straightforward.
Adams joy is so infectious, sat watching this video with a big daft smile on my face because of his joy
That's lovely -- thank you for sharing!
CANT WAIT TO SEE THIS MOVIE! Been so long in the making and the waiting!
For those who don’t know, the Ecto-1 is a 1959 Cadillac Futura Duplex end loader ambulance/hearse combinaton vehicle. 21 feet long, 8 feet high, weighing in at nearly 7000 pounds. It originally had a Cadillac 390 V8 making 320 horsepower. The 6.2L LS3 in it now is significantly lighter and more compact, and it makes about 430 horsepower.
I think the great think about the ecto 1 being a 59 Cadillac is that it’s damn near 62 years old at this point. So any surviving one that you find that isn’t converted into an ecto 1 already has been sitting and it comes with all the fantastic free weathering from its years of use. You can just tell by looking at the car what is original age, and it’s gorgeous that they left it.
It was already an old car when the original film came out in 1984!
Have bad news for ya. They completely restored the car in 2009 for the video game promotion. The wear and tear you see on the Ecto-1 now is all cosmetic. Even worse, this may not even be the original Ecto. There have been rumours that the original Ecto is tucked away on Paramount studios still, but I recall Jason saying somewhere that 2 of the 3 cars they used are from the original movies, but don’t quote me on that. Base on Adam kissing this Ecto, I’d bet my life savings that this particular Ecto he drove is thee original Ecto-1.
The one thing is for certain at the time of this comment is that they had used 3 Ectomobiles for this movie, all aged to look like this.
@@mikfly Yeah. My understanding is that the AF ecto-1 hero car is the body of the ecto-1A from GB2.
I know it’s not the original one all I’m saying is it must be pretty easy to find one that is old and rusted out that comes with all that fantastic natural weathering considering the age of the vehicle
@@camrynhamme oh yeah no worries, we all just love talking Ecto lmao. Actually, there were only 400 of these cars ever built so they are extremely rare and expensive!!
Adam Savage: enjoying majestic moments so you don't have to.
I'm guessing that this was filmed in the middle of 2019. (Oh, what an innocent time.)
Yes, almost exactly two years ago.
@@tested Ah, that explains a few things without resorting to a Time Machine.
back when people shook hands.
In the before times, long long ago
Couldnt be more jealous of him. 😂 what a lucky guy! Thanks for sharing such a great moment! 👻
4 cars i would love to test drive are the Bullitt Car, the General Lee, BTTF DeLorean and Ecto1!
Better add just 1 more. Mad Max Interceptor.👍🙂
@@Hiluxtrd07 ah yes! i forgot about that one. i actually got to meet a screen used General Lee back in 2001, Canada day in Cobourg Ontario, she looked rough, but was so awesome to see and touch and photo. but i'll always be a fan of the 1968 Mustang fast back from Bullitt
I'm jealous. I'm so obscenely jealous. But I'm also smiling from Adam's genuine glee. Many an 80s kid's dream come true right there, driving the original Ecto-1.
Ok now I want to see the new movie EVEN MORE!
This is how you reach the die hard fans. Find the ultimate die hard fan, and let him bring out his inner child!
Oh the smiles on Adam's face tell a story!!
"When there's Somthin Strange in the Neighborhood....Who Ya Gonna Call?......MythBusters!"
I am not a big car guy but man that engine sound gives me goosebumps. And the siren is so iconic! WOW!
Quite a bit of the movie was filmed in fort McLeod, AB not far from where I live. always cool to see that touch of home on the screen
Totally. I saw "Calgary Film Centre" on the building and was like "aww man, that's where I am!"
Like a child in a candy store, how excellent that they can share material behind the camera with us
When you kissed the door, you realize it is a GB FAN!
Let's say casual fan, haha. His GB cosplay was a little baffling in the details apartment.
@@Vintiqueture You were the one who blew out the candles on birthdays right?
I was just watching this and looking where they put all the gopros and thinking about those mounts outside and how safe they were and theeeere goes a gopro :D
Guessing the little suckered feet couldn't hold onto the dust on the car from filming it driving through fields lol
I may never have to the opportunity to drive Ecto-1 but seeing Adam's joy trough out the video is a great second best. I hope you will release more video of the set of GB afterlife.
Lots more to come!
"They let me drive it!" SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!
Awesome, it made me smile as soon they fired up that engine.
I hadn't heard a peep about Afterlife until I picked up the lego set a few months back. My first lego build in decades, and one of my favourite movie cars of all time (along with Tim Burton's Batmobile), I couldn't resist.
From what I've seen of the story, I don't think they could have found a better way to honour Harold Ramis'. November can't come fast enough.
The little Boy in me is Giggling with you... with a smile ear to ear..
The wiring under the hood of that thing is a mild fire hazard guys but its sweet nonetheless! Sounds much better than the original and probably 3x faster with that LS3
I doubt they ever show under the hood in the movie.
Worked with R2-D2....drove the Ecto-1....living the dream!!
OMG, that was so cool!! the funny thing is i could hear the siren i know it wasn't used but i have watched the movies so many times when i see the ecto driven my brain just adds the siren. thanks for sharing that experience with us.
He was steadingly gaining ground: "Can I sit in it?", "Can I start it?", at some point I expected him saying "Can I drive it home?", woldn't that be epic?
*Adam* : Can I sit in it?
*Coordinator* : Sure.
*Adam* : Can I start it?
*Coordinator* : Sure.
*Adam* : Kthxbye
Forget Mad Max, Knight Rider, Bond's Aston Martin, the Bluesmobile, the DeLorean, or even the Batmobile... of ANY movie car Ecto-1 is the one I'd want to take home :-)
I think there was a missed opportunity of driving ecto-1 through the local Tim Horton's drive through. Probably couldn't drive it on the road, but still. A man can dream
This is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen Adam experience.
I remember seeing the actual car "ecto-1" when they were filming the firehouse scene in Chinatown, it was parked 2 blocks away and I remember trying the doors and they were all open 🤯 and in the back were 4 proton packs, I just wish I was a little more dishonest I would be. Owning a piece of history now. 🤣🤣🤣
You wouldn't of made it one block with any of that memorabilia...
Living vicariously through your joy is a wonderful experience.
Those iconic sirens would have made this complete.
I agree 100%
The sirens don't exist, the sound is artificial and added in post!
@@jmiller991 look for "Ecto-1 sirens sound" ..play on loudspeaker..boom...done. Its not rocket science, it's been done.
@@c3r3bralm.f Oh I know, but what I meant was its not an actual real siren sound..
@@jmiller991 actually it is an actual sound my Fenix control box has the sound along with the regular Siren. We have it on our modern tribute vehicle
Adam Savage has to be one of the luckiest people alive. I know that he has worked hard all his life, and because of that hard work and because of the awesome person that he is, he gets to see and do the coolest stuff!!! Thank you, Adam, for sharing your awesome experiences with all of us, who can only look on in wonder as you do things that we can only dream of. Good on you, sir!
Must admit, I spent much of the video scrutinising the weathering. Some of the exposed rust was definitely just paint, other bits looked more realistic but they could just be parts that get close-ups and still could easily be paint jobs, just better ones. I'd be interested to know if this car was scratch built or a real old car. Either way, I'm sure they know how iconic this is and how much it'll be worth, so if it is a real car, any rust will have been treated to stop it spreading, or removed, filled and replaced with painted rust.
If it's the same rolling chassis that I saw back in 2011, it was an actual car and not a scratch-built; the one I saw had a ground cover under the engine bay to catch the oil from the engine. The weathering/aging job that was done on the finish looks awesome compared to the near showroom shine finish my pictures from the 2011 event show.
This brings back memories. My first car was a 1970 Cadillac ambulance. For such a big car (20 foot long) it had that Cadillac feel. Once had it over 120 mph and it felt like I was driving on a cloud. Man, I miss that thing!
Just so happens, there's a 69 or 70 ambulance for sale right now in Myrtle Beach at Competition Cars. I've daily driven a few hearses. Yes they can go really fast for how big they are, yes they ride like a Cadillac, and once you're used to it, you can whip it into a parking spot like it's a Honda Civic. Not everyone else is gonna be a fan though
When a MythBuster rides a GhostBuster car my life is complete.
All I need is Adam to clean up with a Dust Buster.
‘Myth busters’ and ‘Ghostbusters’... all in the family! 😊👻
What an honour!
Very surprised Adam wasn't wearing a jumpsuit though... ;)
while they say they engin isn't what would be in it I would expect Egon and Ray to LS swap it and beef up the suspension just because they could.
especially since parts for both the original 390 V8 and suspension are getting harder and harder to find; it would also explain why there are so many parts cars on the property itself.
You see, just the look of joy of Mr. Adam driving the car was enough to make of it an enjoyable experience to watch.
Can't wait for the film to finally come out
I got to drive a mid-60s Cadillac ambulance once. It accelerated surprisingly well for its size. A very smooth driving experience, although not built for taking curves super-fast, obviously. Happily did 90+ on a divided highway, though. It was an early winter day and we hit some black ice coming down a hill. Boy, did that big fat back end want to come around. Luckily I grew up in a wintry region and handled it, but with no margin to spare. This was when almost all of them had been replaced by van and truck type ambulances. Got to ride in a couple of others for two other outfits, and always appreciated the smooth ride.
for when your Chevy Suburban just isnt big enough ...
It makes me happy seeing Adam happy for some reason. He made my day.
The way he's describing the stunts the car has to do is telling me that I'm not gonna like the new movie. Why does every new movie now have to involve a car chase? I haven't even seen a preview yet and I can already tell the movie is crap and with two bad ones in a row now I guess the franchise is dead, what a disgrace.
I'm glad you got to drive it but I miss the old days with good writing over special effects and "cool camera angles".
Aw, I got goosebumps watching that thing roll down the ramp - such a wonderfully iconic car :)
I have never been so jealous. Inahve also never been so excited and impatient to see a movie than I am with Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
No matter where you see the Ecto-1, you just can't stop smiling!
And I speak for everyone here when I say, "We ALL need/want that car in our lives!"
It was so cool that car from ghostbuster really miss old show movies really miss them people love your show good job 💯% 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 😃👍 🎶🎸🎼🎉
I'm so glad they brought back the Ecto 1 like it should be. In the last movie when they completely ignored the original story line and characters I was still willing to give it a shot. But when they cranked their wannabe Ecto up for the 1st time and didn't have the original siren, that movie was dead to me.
Adam lives a charmed life, that looked like so much fun.
The Ecto-1 with basically a Corvette engine in it. I will never get tired of watching this video.
And I will never want any other car more.
Kid meets candy store! This is so freaking cool! What an amazing opportunity!
I could not stop smiling seeing & hearing that car. 💕
I love how it looks like it is coated in dust! I hope to see some talk about how they made it look like a relic from the past. And the door not shutting properly just made me smile.
Adam, your like a kid at Christmas eve. You are guinunely excited! so fun to see and enjoy with you!
