What the Hell is he wearing!?!

I never noticed this until this morning. I was watching Ghostbusters 1 on my PSP… Check out the scene, during the musical montage, when the hot ghost unzipps Ray’s pants. What the hell is that jacket he is wearing!?! :shock: :lol: It looks like it’s from the “Three Amigos.” :lol:

How random is that? :? Is this a prop we’ve never noticed? :lol:

Has anyone else ever noticed that?

He’s wearing a generals outfit because it was a bust at an old base, all part of a deleted scene. Ray starts to try the stuff on and lays down in the bed…ghost scene happens, then Winston comes and knocks on the door and Ray yells, I’m busy…be out in a sec…or something along those lines…they changed it up a bit and made it seem like it was a dream. But that was the original scene.I’ll see if I can find the actual script for that scene.

INT. FORT DETMERRING - SINGLE OFFICERS’ QUARTERS - NIGHT

Stantz is in a painstakingly restored period room with a four poster bed, writing table and wardrobe hung with uniforms. His own jumpsuit and backpack lie in a heap beside the bed. He fingers an officer’s uniform then tries it on. He steps to a full-length mirror and models it, striking a few heroic poses. He shrugs, sits on the bed, bouncing the mattress and squeezing it. He then lies down full length and tests it, hands behind his head.

STANTZ

He yawns. His eyes droop, blink and finally close. His head lolls sideways, his mouth drops open slightly and he drops off to sleep, exhausted.

INT. WARDROBE - NIGHT

A uniform sleeve moves slightly. A sabre in its sheath begins to tap lightly against the open doorsash. A phosphorescent light streaks out in between gaps in the clothing, casting patterns over the room.

STANTZ PACK AND WANDS

A panel light winks on. The needle on his PKE meter jumps into the red.

STANTZ

He rolls over. From inside the wardrobe a shimmering pink mist rises up and begins to take form on the ceiling.

MIST

The vaguest remnants of a human form take shape. It hovers and shifts as if appraising Stantz.

STANTZ

He tosses and rolls onto his back, still deeply asleep.

BED CANOPY

The mist slithers in through the curtains and takes a position above him. It begins to descent slowly.

STANTZ

The mist widens and elongates and sprawls in suspension over his body. He wakes. The apparition is inches above his face. He gasps but can’t move, totally transfixed with fear.

STANTZ’ POV

He is face-to-face with a lost soul. It is a beautiful feminine face. It presses in closer. He sucks in his breath. Is he being smothered? The gaunt figure then slides slowly away from his face and down to a spot below his waist.

STANTZ

He props himself up on his elbows and looks down. Suddenly the apparition vanishes. Then his belt comes undone as if pulled by an invisible hand and his zipper slowly opens.

CLOSE-UP - STANTZ’ FACE

His look changes from fear to confusion to pleasure. he closes his eyes and submits.

INT. BARRACKS CORRIDOR - NIGHT

Winston is smoking a cigarette, ambling down the barracks corridor. He hears voices and walks to the door of the barracks.

WINSTON

Stantz? You okay in there?

STANTZ

(from inside)

LATER, MAN!!

Winston shrugs and slinks out.

Oh, okay. That makes much more sense now. I just thought that seemed really odd he would be wearing that… Thanks for that portion of the script. I love seeing and reading about deleted scenes. :smiley:

Dr. Stantz, where in the hoopoo did you find the script to Ghostbusters? My wife and I have been searching, could you send me a copy of it or lead to somewhere I could get it? Thanks :slight_smile:
