Random Ghostbusters Questions

Just some random GB questions…

What's up with that blue hat on Ray when they're with the Chinese guy?

Do you think Dana's tv was accidentally left on, or was something supernatural at play?

What are Ray and Peter drinking outside the university?

In Peters' office, what is that huge picture of behind him? (Look for it during the first Peter/Peck confrontation.)

Also, have you ever noticed during the “this chick is TOAST” scene that they set the trap down right before advancing on Gozer?

Have you ever noticed when Staypuft steps on the church, if you look closely, you'll see right through him and see the aparments behind him?

Or that after blowing up the maids' cart, she tries putting out a small fire with her spray bottle?

Blue hat? Haven't ever noticed this… are you sure its not just the Ecto-Goggles?

I always assumed it was something supernatural, but the fact that the Ghostbusters commercial was on happened to be a nice coincidence.

What are Ray and Peter drinking outside the university?

Some form of alcohol. I believe whiskey.

Not sure, but most of them are newspaper clippings from past jobs/publicity.

Yes, I've noticed this before. Presumably because they realize they're not going to trap her. I actually submitted this for trivia to an old Ghostbusters website back in the day.

Old-time special effects at play right there.

Yea, I noticed this as well… its probably all she had. Plus its funny!

Yeah pay attention and he's wearing some sort of blue hat/beanie on his head.

And I knew it was b00ze, I just didn't know what kind.

They're in Chinatown and the hat is Chinese, Ray and Peter are subject to the local hospitality as seen by the animal they're being given.

Do you think Dana's tv was accidentally left on, or was something supernatural at play?

Supernatural.

What are Ray and Peter drinking outside the university?

Beer, beyond that I have no idea.

In Peters' office, what is that huge picture of behind him? (Look for it during the first Peter/Peck confrontation.

It's a framed, period photograph of when Firestation 23 (the building used for the Firehouse interiors) was still in service. Several of the smaller framed photographs prior to the first montage are of the station as well.

Looks like they're drinking some kind of whiskey or something to me. The bottle is significantly shorter than a beer-bottle, for one thing.

Thanks Kingpin! The one that was nagging at me was the framed photo.

Zuul gets nasty if she misses her stories.

A relative who reviews/writes for liquor trade mags says the bottle is peach brandy.

My mom hadn't noticed the maid putting out the flaming toilet paper until a few weeks ago; easy to miss if you aren't really watching.

I remember someone saying that it was Peachtree Schnapps over on the GBFans board.
