I’m gonna aim for a 1h30-45 cut removing some of the callbacks and I’d maybe tone down the soundtrack early on. Take out “safety’s off”, put Doritos kid back in.

Some B roll footage has been uploaded to YouTube some days and I haven’t seen it over here.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/779kaByg2mw?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque

It features some interesting bits and scenes that didn’t make the final edit, like waitress getting slimed at the Chinese restaurant (probably when Muncher passes by) and Gooberson explaining some more of Ghostbusters history.

Also, you can see Dan being present at the sheriff’s office set, however, this one probably doesn’t mean much, though.

While watching the movie I kinda expected / wished the OGs will show up at the sheriff’s office to pick up [Ecto-1](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/uncategorized/ecto-1) and the equipment (the sheriff probably knew what those kids were playing with). That would have been a cool introduction to the OGs, have some screen time with all of them and then slowly progress towards the finale, which still could play out similar to the one we saw.

Great find. I wonder if there was a scene with Ray and the Sheriff or if Dan was just hanging out.

I think he was hanging out. As a producer he was on set since July, also his daughter was acting in that scene.

“They made a movie about it in the 90s.”

Well that’s a interesting cut line…

Apologies if I overlooked it…

Grooberson saying “That’s no good” after they opened the trap between the schoolbuses.

Not necessarily ‘deleted’, as it’s an alternate take, but if the “I love this car” line by Podcast counts, so would “That’s no good.”

Also deleted… the syllable “bud–” when Grooberson sees the [Terror Dog](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/minimates/terror-dog) in Wal-Mart. In the final film he only says “Hey” and then it immediately roars.

They’ll likely do the usual “nickel and diming” people with new versions with footage that was found behind the toilet in a random actors trailer. Has there been a single release of the original movie with ALL the [deleted scenes](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/ghostbusters/deleted-scenes) yet? i’m near sure when they released the bluray a while back a short while after they suddenly just happened to find more footage of the Fort Detmerring sequence.

Unless the assembly cut gets leaked liklihood is they’ll never release it and milk the shit out of multiple versions of the movie with trimmed clips of sequences so they can always have more to milk people with.

Neat, love b-roll.

So at 6:15, there’s the Mini-Puft on the shelf. Jason posted a bts photo from this scene on his instagram I think. The shelving matches up with the hardware store. I think that’s from the scene with the owner coming down the aisle from trailer 1. So he likely has an encounter with the Mini-Pufts. Hmm, maybe during the ghost montage.

Yeah, agreed. Poor actress, slimed for nothing. Likely from the ghost montage. That didn’t look like the blue slime so not from the Muncher chase.

7:30, the made a film about it in the 90s. lol.

9:44, looks like that could be from the part when Phoebe makes popcorn in the field.

I think I did see the earthquake scene in the movie theater, or maybe it’s just my mind filling it in because of seeing the trailers too much. :whatever:

The earthquake ripping the streets IS in the movie. It is immediately after Gozer rips Shandor in half.

I was wondering why we didn’t see more slime in the movie after reading an article about how Jason wanted to get the original slime recipe for the film. I wonder why the cut the slimed waitress.

I remember seeing some Youtube videos about the filming sites back in 2020 and in one of them they left a bucket of Slime for people to play with and it was green, the [deleted scene](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/ghostbusters/deleted-scenes) was from a restaurant so maybe it was [Slimer](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/slimer).

Jason already stipulated [Slimer](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/slimer) isn’t in Oklahoma. Probably a deleted ghost character.

Probably cut for pacing. Wanted to get to Phoebe and Podcast confronting Gozer and the [Terror Dogs](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/tobins-spirit-guide/terror-dogs) as soon as possible.

Although the montage sequence could’ve used a few more shots.

I hope we find out more about the slimed waitress sequence.

There are two smaller things I noticed between trailers that were not mentioned in the OP’s list and Popular Tripe’s video:

1. As Ecto-1 rounds the corner in front of the Summerville Post Office, the first trailer did not have the RTV in the shot. It was added in the second trailer and the final film. You can see a frame-exact comparison in [my Trailer #2 review on Spook Central](https://www.theraffon.net/spookcentral/2021/07/27/ghostbusters-afterlife-second-trailer-review)

![image](https://www.theraffon.net/spookcentral/media/scblog/gbal_trailer_1st28.jpg)

1. During the Muncher chase, he narrowly escapes the proton streams by flying over the sidewalk on the left side of the screen in one shot. When we first saw this shot in Trailer #1, the “Empress” sign on the theater in the background was left alone. In Trailer #3 and the final film, “Empress” has been digitally-erased from the sign. Also, Muncher’s position in the shot has been slightly altered since that first trailer. You can see a frame-exact comparison in [my Trailer #3 review on Spook Central](https://www.theraffon.net/spookcentral/2021/10/19/ghostbusters-afterlife-international-third-trailer-review) (Note: You need to look _really_ carefully in the background of the frame I chose to see the altered “Empress” sign as my original framegrab from Trailer #1 was not designed to show off that sign.)

I chalked it up to them trying to prevent the RTV from being spoiled too early on into promotion rather than a [deleted scene](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/ghostbusters/deleted-scenes). It’s not an uncommon practice with theaters. Even though, there’s a lot of analysis going on with the new Spider-Man trailer scrubbing out characters near the end of it.

EDIT: In the Crossrip interview, at the 40:17 mark, Arjen Tuiten confirms there was more filmed that what appeared in the movie of Zuul’s arms grabbing Egon. He notes it was “quite violent”.

Hopefully we get a TON of [deleted scenes](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/ghostbusters/deleted-scenes), hopefully with that included as well.

Paul (spookcentral)'s post reminds me…

I don’t have a frame from the actual movie to compare, but one thing I noticed that was different from the trailer to the film was they ‘erased’ the [PKE Meter](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-pke-meter) from the shot where Phoebe is lifting up the first floor tile.

This is the trailer frame, no PKE.

But in the film the PKE Meter is on the floor to Phoebe’s right. Even when she lifts up the tile in the film, parts of it are still visible.
