Don’t know if anyone else noticed this but just watching GhostBusters 2 and when the guys are suiting up when coming out of the crazy house (in the old uniforms, but that’s another question), the [leg hoses](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform/yellow-hose) are nowhere to be found. Thoughts, theories, pancakes? ---

I can’t believe they would go out without **■■■■■-hose** on! Is that what you meant? I’ve never heard it called “leg-hose” before. Screencaps please. ---

Don’t know if it “matters”, just an observation… That’s the best shot I can get, can only see Venkman and Ray clearly, but the others are missing theirs as they file down the stairs ---

Ray hands it to the door man at the end of GB1. They clearly dont give a shit about it. ---

This is why the hose is clear in GB2. They took the yellow ones off at the end of GB1 and then put on the clear ones just after this scene. ---

The answer is SO obvious. Whenever a person is admitted to a psychiatric facility, their state of mind must be determined, and there is a fear that the patient might attempt suicide. Belts, hoses and the like would be confiscated to prevent said patients from hanging themselves.. ---

They weren’t wearing their uniforms when they got in, they were in the clothes they had on in the river of slime ---

Louis brought the uniforms to them. He didn’t want to touch the tubes because he wasn’t 100% positive the hose isn’t for pee. ---

Always figured they’re just getting their uniforms on and haven’t attached them yet. As to their function, I think it would be hard doing what they do with a catheter up your dick, I hear its quite painful and if it isn’t a ■■■■ hose then where the heck does it collect? Man this is nasty! :sigh: ---

Don’t think it collects anything, just tucks in at the back of the [pistol belt](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/uniform-pistol-belt)…purely cosmetic methinks ---

> [@EgonYourMucus](#): > > They weren’t wearing their uniforms when they got in, they were in the clothes they had on in the river of slime well, then you obviously haven’t read the literature that accompanies the 2 disc GB1 & GB2 DVD gift set. It clearly stated that they wore their street clothes _over_ their suits to be incognito. So of course it appeared they didn’t have their uniforms at the time of their incarceration. It’s all in the booklet, but you may not have it. It’s pretty rare, and it’s the cornerstone of my Ghostbusters collection. ---

Well, they don’t in the ACTUAL movie, they’re in long johns with T shirts underneath. And that dvd set is easier to pick up than the cold, they always have it in our local Tesco for £5 (about $12-$13). ---

A lot of scenes were deleted and actually changed completely. It had something to do with a threatened trade embargo by Margaret Thatcher. Sony had to make certain consessions on all of it’s imports. You should get the American version off ebay. It’s easily recognized by it’s iconic green slime cover.. cheers [Next page](https://forum.gbfans.com/t/leg-hose-vanish/38597.md?page=2)
