It was. Just the context around it completely changed. In the final film, it's framed as a dream sequence where Ray's fixation on their work as Ghostbusters has him getting a blowjob from one. This deleted sequence suggests otherwise.

However, the post to which you were replying was asserting the truth. That you were one of many kids to see the film in theaters does not change that. It's just a reflection of the fact that in the 80s kids were not believed to be as soft they are now.

Awwww yeah can't wait to get more about that full on ghost BJ scene that had me recreating the story around it with the action figures when I was eight. Was I right that it was inspired by Poltergeist and afterwards Ray says "This dick is clean?"

I hope it goes like this.
Ray pulls out and nuts on the ghost who then says "I've been slimed."
It's like poetry.

Wow between this, The Day the Clown Cried, and the original ending to Phase IV all of my cinema holy grails have been achieved, if at least partially.

Hey, I saw the movie when I was eleven at the time, a month or two after release. I wanted to see it because the song was on the radio constantly and the video was always on rotation on MTV at that point. I'm sure lots of kids were drawn in by the song and video, too, just as I'm sure it was still not exactly a kids movie.
Hmmm, yeah, and that was still in the midst of the whole moral majority crap.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I saw GB and Purple Rain on the same night at the drive-in.
Yes.

There is a sizable subset of the geek population that is triggered by sexual content in genre stuff. For example, see also the folks who cry about the shower scene in Starship Troopers.

The same people also couldn't possibly enjoy Revenge of the Nerds because of the despicable rape scene when in reality, it's just another take on The Bed Trick, which is one of the oldest tropes in literature.

It's on the poster.
I hate that people refer to the new movie as "Ghostbusters: Answer the Call"
It's a tag line that people have used to differentiate the two generations of the franchise but it isn't a subtitle... Tons of movies put tag lines in prominent locations on their promotional materials. It's the same bullshit that bugs me about people who call Edge of Tomorrow "Live Die Repeat"
That'd be like saying the original film is called "Ghostbusters: Who you gonna call?"
Might as well start calling Mad Max: Fury Road "Mad Max: What a Lovely Day"

it literally says "Ghostbusters: Answer the Call" right when the credits start in the actual movie itself. It's the official subtitle of the film.

I personally believe that In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream is the best Alien movie.

This is so cool. I always assumed that the scene that referenced it had some prior context to it, that cut it out.
The only reason anyone would think of Ghostbusters as a kids film would be because of the merchandising and cartoon that came after. The original Ghostbusters film was really written more with adults in mind and considering Reitman / Ramis / Murray did Stripes (a fairly raunchy film) before, nobody should really be surprised by that.

It may not have started as the actual subtitle, but as of the movie's theatrical release that is the full name of the movie. It's at the end of the movie when they do the title card before the credits start, and it's on the DVD/BluRay box as a subtitle. Sorry if that bothers you, but that's what they called it to differentiate it from Ghostbusters, even if it was retroactive.

It's funny because back then, nobody really cared or talked about it. The movie was number one at the box office for many weeks. But these days... sure.
Sounds awesome to me, I would be happy to see parts of that cabin sequence. I've often heard about it, but yeah, there was never any footage. That "Bill Murray" tape must be golden...

Yes and there was even a thread on GAF about them changing the name back from Edge of Tomorrow to Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow when it came out on iTunes/DVD/BluRay

Yeah, I can't say that I remember seeing him in an officer's uniform. I guess I'm always looking at the unzippage... and I've seen this movie more than any other.

I wonder if that kickstarter GB documentary crew can somehow get ahold of some of this or at least info on this recent uncovering. Chances are it's too late if they weren't already involved.

This is what I thought of as soon as I saw this. I bet it's too late for them to get a hold of it, though, if Sony would even be willing to share it. Would be cool to see those scenes, but I'm definitely more curious to know what the fuck is on the Bill Murray tape.
Dr. Peter Venkman: This man has no dick.
Dana Barrett: [as The Gatekeeper] I want you inside me.
Dr. Peter Venkman: We've been going about this all wrong. This Mr. Stay Puft's okay! He's a sailor, he's in New York; we get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Grab your stick!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Heat 'em up!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Make 'em hard!
It's not Porky's or anything, but Ghostbusters was definitely not intended for children. Most parents in the 80s probably knew this and just didn't care if their kids heard a dick joke.

The BJ scene is fine. Calm down.
Also, I'm looking forward to seeing the deleted scene footage come out!

It's so true. I wasn't old enough to see the original Ghostbusters in cinemas, I would have only been 2 or 3 years old. But I watched the movie many times with my Dad on VHS. He didn't care about the sexual innuendo jokes that flew over my head.
I practically grew up with the SatAM cartoon series (both of them!, yeah even the Filmation Ghost Busters) and even had a lot of the toys from the cartoon series. It was a great cartoon for the '80's until it was ruined by focus group testing for all the wrong reasons.
But I did see GhostBusters II in the cinemas and I remember being excited as fuck. It was the first time I could see a movie like this in the cinemas. I didn't hate Ghostbusters II back then, I actually quite liked it. But looking back at this movie as I got older, it really lacked the edge of the first one. It honestly was retooled to be more friendly to kids my age (in 1989) who grew up with the cartoon and Ecto Coolers.

But it's so off brand with the film's humour outside the scene. I'm not saying the movie was high comedy before, but it went into Sandler territory for a moment and it was super jarring.

I must be the only one who is bothered by the blowjob scene because it makes no sense. Why would a ghost blow the guy who's catching all it's friends and putting them in ghost prison?
Imagine there was a cop movie where, in a montage of arrests, there would randomly be a scene of a gangbanger blowing one of the cops. Even in a comedy that seems nonsensical.

Sure? But people seem to be implying that it taints the movie on some moral level.

Nope, Peter makes lots of jokes and references to sex indirectly. Dana Barret's apartment inspection, etc
Suggestive jokes were made about the pink slime and Ray in the sequel
Key Master... Gate Keeper
Why would a ghost want to eat food? Go jogging through the park? Organize a library card catalog?
The ghosts clearly aren't rational beings. They're spiritual echoes repeating the patterns of the people they were when alive. The ghost of a woman who was particularly sexually promiscuous might continue that pattern after death.
Why do you think all ghosts know eachother or are friends? Do all ghosts look the same to you?!
But seriously, the scene in the movie frames it like a dream. Ray is obsessed with his work. It's all encompassing. It's not crazy that he'd have a dream about it.

It makes perfect sense, even in your hypothetical cop movie. She's sucking him off to get out of being trapped/arrested, duh.
