I just got done watching gb2 on a hd movie channel, and I must say, it’s not nearly as bad as I remember it; although some of the dana/venkman scenes still annoy the hell out of me… 
Anyways, I noticed the darker costume (is it dark blue or charcaol? it’s hard to tell) has no leg hose. Plus, I think it would’ve been pretty cool if they only wore the darker costume throughout the whole movie.
I find it odd that the promotional materials like the poster feature the Ghostbusters in their dark uniforms, but the only time we see them in the movie is during the montage (save for Winston who’s wearing his casually at one point in the firehouse). It’s even odder that the poster features Ray and Winston with their Slime Blowers. I kind of wish the guys had used their standard uniforms throughout the rest of the movie, and then worn the dark ones for the big finale.
I think at one point it was thought to add some variety to their attire. I wonder if the dark suits wouldn’t have read as well in the night shots toward the end of the movie. :whatever:
Considering you have characters like Batman wearing black in nothing BUT night shots… I don’t think it would have been a problem. I think the dark uniforms would have been more fitting for the final battle than lost in the middle of the movie.
I personally would have liked to see more of the dark uniforms… the gray/khaki ones are iconic but the variety is good… I wonder if they mixed it up in the movie because of the multi colored uniforms in the cartoon, considering that the studio seems to have leeched off the cartoon’s popularity a bit when making the movie.
probably so but likely went with the iconic/classic for the most part. I’d think anyway. :whatever:
The dark suits would work for someone like batman but I think they stuck to the grey ones NOT ONLY cause Batman was coming out at the same time but also for the same reason Ecto wasn’t painted black like intended, they wanted us to be able to see it. They didn’t want the movie too dark.
I just wanted to post this because many people debate over the color of the suit! One of our members from the AZ GB’s asked Aykroyd about it because we were having an in group debate on the suits color. Mr Aykroyd himself said that the suits were a blackish gray!
where are you getting this “gray” from?
the only suits that should be considered gray are the Charcoal Gray GB2 suits, everything else was tan/khaki.
I’m saying “grey” cause of GB1 when Casey Kasem called them “The boys in grey” on the radio.
The GB2 uniforms were definitely a dark charcoal color and the GB1 uniforms were a light grey, I have no idea where the tan/khaki color uniforms originated from to be honest.
They originated from the suits being khaki.
GB1 - Khaki
GB2 - Khaki
GB2 - Charcoal Grey
There is no light grey or blue. None.
:eyeroll: Haha, you must be color blind, the GB1 suits were clearly light Grey.
Who cares :sigh:
Please tell me you aren’t serious.[attachment pending: vlcsnap-807871.png]
Look at that deep brown color. Grey does not make!
Well yead i do care,i was stupid to say that,i do want to know if it’s charcoal,but i just think people are gonna start fighting over it,getting out of hand and so on :whatever:
Alright
if these suits look gray to you then you are the one who is colorblind. they may have appeared to have a gray tint on screen due to lighting and the type of film used, but they WERE NOT LIGHT GRAY OR ANY OTHER SHADE OF GRAY. See those elbow pads? THOSE are light gray.

Would it be a stretch to say that the current Nomex suits are a lot more brown than the suits used in GB1?
Those arent nomex suits in GB1. They are air force flightsuits made of ripstop cotton fabric, and yes they were a slightly differnt shade of Khaki/Tan than the ones made today. the ones made today are adjusted to more closely match the desert theaters of todays modern warfare.
Are you on drugs? The bastards were khaki and they were not nomex!
