or did the guyz get wet after the containment unit blew? It looks like they are, but how did Ray get wet he just got there?

Yes indeedy, they did get wet (IIRC). I believe there's an explanation on the DVD commentary - I'll find out tomorrow.

The air was moist with the powder that shot out after the explosion.

I've noticed it, I just never thought of it as anything. Very interesting, though. smile

Yeah Ectoman's right. They explain it in “Making Ghostbusters”.

The effects guys used water mist to simulate smoke and debris, that's why as the scene goes on the guys look more and more damp.

I remember an anecdote from the MG book that the wardrobe department were pissed off when Egon's suit got soaked with water because they didn't have a spare suit.

until i saw the commentary, i always figured it to be loose ecto plasm or something like that, from the explosion and the ghosts.

I always thought that it was sweat from the guys running, and the fact they had no clue what the result of shutting down the containment unit would be.

I lasways thought it was sweat, I mean, they just ran out of the fire house as the basement blew up. Blow up is kinda hot. Then wehn I was older I relized that EVERYBODY was wet, not just the people from in the building.
