Slime is self replicating. That was shown twice in the movie, during the courtroom scene and the toaster scene. The videogame builds on this with upgrades to the equipment that decrease slime replication time. Don’t think of the large tank on the blower as holding slime, it’d more likely (ad-hoc in-universe nerd theory time!) hold the propellant used for the actual blowing while one of the smaller tanks held a reservoir of “reactant” slime.
In your defence it took me years to notice they had an explanation for the amount of slime needed to move libby in the movie already, it’s just not pointed out explicitly.
don’t have a screenshot, sure others have caught it, when Louis is telling Janine about Rita Hayworth, you can see a box of HI-C, the box is orange, I believe it to be a subliminal buy Ecto Cooler message…or a neat little thing thrown in there…
But that pic of the Hi-C juice box just jogged a memory. Somewhere, looooooooooong ago, I found a bowling pin for sale and bought it SPECIFICALLY because Venkman had one in his apartment. I had totally forgotten that! I wonder where it got off to?
Likewise, from GB1, I used to have a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign, swiped from a hotel just because it looked really close to the one in the first movie.
They were digging because of a possible supernatural event. They wanted to be ready in case there really was something under the street and it got mad about it.
HA! i’ve had a bowling pin in my living room for ages. i never noticed venkman had one in his place. that’s too cool! i’m pretty sure mine is a dead ringer for the one in the screen shot.
i have a “do not disturb” sign on my office door, too. i’ve been meaning to buy the GB replica on RPF forever… might do that tonight.
I particularly like the “What about the packs?” line for Winston (the pragmatic one) because they’re acknowledging their own convenient oversight as writers for the sake of the plot, without really giving an answer as to why the characters did it.
