Ghostbusters
Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis wrote the script, but Bill Murray gets all the best lines and moments in this 1984 comedy directed by Ivan Reitman (Meatballs). The three comics, plus Ernie Hudson, play the New York City-based team that provides supernatural pest control, and Sigourney Weaver is the love interest possessed by an ancient demon. Reitman and company are full of original ideas about hobgoblins--who knew they could "slime" people with green plasma goo?--but hovering above the plot is Murray's patented ironic view of all the action. Still a lot of fun, and an obvious model for sci-fi comedies such as Men in Black. --Tom Keogh

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2019

TWO complaints.
The Digital Version is the PREVIOUS release so no new deleted scenes from the 35th Anniversary, also Sony did not provide the 4K digital download. Just a let down for the price.

The discs are stacked 3 and 2. Of all of the corners they could have cut the internal packaging was one they shouldn't have. IMO

Incredible bundle and worth every penny!

Ghostbusters is here again with the 35th anniversary addition of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2 but it gets even better! This 5 disc set comes complete in a solid metal case, perfect for keeping the boys safe! Each disc is specified below:

Ghostbusters
Ghostbusters 4K
Ghostbusters 2
Ghostbusters 2 4K
Special Features Disc

If you thought seeing the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in HD was impressive, wait until you see him in 4K! The crisp images will flood you with excitement and truly astound you. I've never seen Ray, Peter, Egon, and Winston looking more ready to take on Gozer. Another improvement from prior editions is the audio. Whether it's Elmer Bernstein’s score when the film first opens to the international "Ghostbusters" hit by Ray Parker Jr., this new edition makes it sound like everyone is right in your living room!

The special features disc includes behind the scenes footage, deleted scenes, never-before-seen marketing rifts from 1984 when the film was first released, along with hours of interviews and talk-shows featuring all of the main characters we know and love. As a Ghostbusters aficionado, it's incredibly exciting to see these special moments that have never been released on any other box sets of the franchise. When you thought you've seen it all, it's always nice to be surprised! The Special Features disc includes special content from both films as well as the animated series The Real Ghostbusters.

If you're a fan of the boys in tan, then you need to get your hands on this 35th Anniversary Edition of Ghostbusters. You won't be sorry!

UHD discs defective

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

When these arrived I was so excited to play them to see what they have done with picture quality for 4K viewing. Well, opened the steel book and the discs are just floating loose in the tin. Inspecting them, however, showed not a single scratch on them. Put GB in and the disc just gives an error as unreadable. Pulled it out and put in GB2, and it reads immediately and could play...until about 5 minutes in when the video freezes and hangs. Other discs play fine. Just to check it wasn’t the player, I checked for software updates (none) and played 3 other UHD movie discs with no issues. Damaged in shipment but not detectable by eye?...possibly. Overall the book design is very bad since the discs are stacked directly on top of each other and provide no protection from physical damage against each other. Ordering an exchange, hope the replacement doesn’t suffer the same fate.

Just found out the this and several other DVD that I purchased from Amazon are copied. They will not play in the dvd/blueray players. It says right on the screen. You can watch the movie with NO SOUND &A MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN. Staying ::THE AUDIO TRACK OF THE VIDEO THAT YOU ARE PLAYING CONTAINS A CINAVIA CODE INDICATING THAT THIS IS AN UNAUTHORIZED COPY OF PROFESSIONALLY-PRODUCED CONTENT. REALLY AMAZON come on now!!!!! Explain this to me?? So you sell DVD that are copied.Think I need a refund of all the movies that I bought from you!!! NOT HAPPY AT ALL. EXPLAIN THIS TO MY 3YEAR OLD GRANDSON!! HE JUST LOVES GHOSTBUSTERS AND MINIONS ! 😠😡😤

Steelbook case is poor packaging.

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

While I think this is the best we'll ever get in extras, because some material repeats itself. The packaging is bad. I was worried that I may break the disc getting them out. In fact I ended up putting them in spare sleeves I had to store them. I wasn't going to put them back in the case.

The discs are stacked one on top of each other, 3 on one side, two on the other. The first film was even loose in the case when I opened it.

The movies are of course great and the transfers are fine. The digital code does not port over all the extras.

As for those extras. The best collection you'll find for this film, and there are a lot. I spent the whole evening going through them. They are on a separate bluray disc. Each film is on its own disc with commentary tracks.

Region Free - Loads of Features

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

The item was shipped from the USA and the Steelbook did not get any damage.

Amazon was not too clear on the region code. It said that it was region A only but other websites said that this edition of Ghostbusters was region free.

Knowing that 4K disks are always region free and owning a region A PS3 for American Blu-Ray playback I made the gamble and bought the USA edition as I wanted this version of the Steelbook.

When it arrived the paper sleeve (as seen in picture 3) shows that all disks within the boxset are ABC Coded. I tested the disks in a XboxX as this is my 4K player and found no playback issues.

You may wish to know -
The 4K quality is not great. It's obviously the same digital transfer from the last 4K edition back in June 2016.
My setup is a 55" Bravia 4K Android, 4K HDMI playing from a XboxX, the sound is Sonos 5.1 + Sub. All picture settings are calibrated by myself to the highest standard. Sound has been calibrated by the Apple Sonos "Trueplay". (I'm a fussy guy)

So if you are buying this 4K edition because you wish for a better picture, don't bother. If your wanting the amazing extras including Audio commentary then this is for you!

But as a Ghostbuster fan and Ghostbuster cosplayer, This Blu-ray made my day!

SLIME, DROOL & A LOT OF BANGS FOR YOUR BUCKS.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a review of the All Region 2 disc Blu-ray Box Set from 2014, containing Ghostbusters I (1984) and II (1989).

The human element in these films reads rather like a family tree. They were written by, and star, prolific Canadian actor and comedian Dan Ackroyd and the late American actor and director Harold Ramis. The leading man in both films is Bill Murray, who was directed by Ramis in ‘Caddyshack’ (1980) and again in 1993, in the iconic ‘Groundhog Day’. The rather incestuous nature of these films is completed by the director, Comedy expert Ivan Reitman, a Czech-Canadian who had directed Murray in his first film ‘Meatballs’ (1979), and also ‘Stripes’ (1981). The female lead is Sigourney Weaver, then neatly poised between ‘Alien’ and ‘Aliens’.

The films are generally described as ‘supernatural’ or ‘fantasy’ comedies, set in (and starring) New York. Apparently, Dan Ackroyd was interested in the paranormal. His father had written a book about ghosts, and one of his ancestors was a famous spiritualist. The finished films however, are neither serious in their treatment of the paranormal, nor in the least bit scary. Kids, of all ages, will no doubt continue to enjoy them, as they have always done.

At $25-30 million, GB1 was a seriously expensive film to make, close to 3 x the cost of ‘Gremlins’ also released in June 1984 and the big Michael Douglas vehicle ‘Romancing the Stone’ (March 1984), and over 4 x that of ‘The Terminator’ (October). This was largely to do with the special effects, which were spectacular for the time, and still look impressive today. Filmed in famous New York locations including Central Park, NY Public Library and the Lincoln Centre, with additional scenes captured in LA (including LA’s Central Library for the early library interiors), visually the film is a stunning triumph. The score, written by Elmer Bernstein, is also excellent.

The film was a huge box office hit, became a cultural phenomenon, and with sequels, spin-offs and merchandise, the budget was easily recouped. It regularly features too, in lists of top ‘80s films, top comedies and top summer blockbusters.

But what if you strip out the hype? Certainly, the premise is clever, and the script is full of excellent jokes. The early ghostly manifestations, in the library and the hotel, and the team’s efforts to capture them, are very funny. Some of the characters also work well: Rick Moranis as the anally retentive tax accountant Louis Tully, is brilliant. But I confess to finding Murray almost a caricature of himself here. And towards the end, the direction is less slick, the plot rather fizzles and is totally overrun and outflanked by the effects.

Entertaining, fun films, yes. 5 Stars? Emphatically, no.

Fantastic deal the 2 movies on Blu Ray for a tenner!!! cost double that at HMV both films look great in 4K remaster and sound for a 30 year old movie fab i remember showing the original film in 1984 when i was a cinema projectionist it did amazing business for several weeks a classic film. The new interviews with Ivan Reitman and Dan Aykroyd are very interesting they both still have a lot of love for the sequel as they go and we also get the great Ray Parker Jr video for the song GhostBusters!!also you get a nice little booklet with lots of background information and pictures on both films. The slimer mode view on the first movie is great picture in picture while you watch the film lots of super memories from director and all the cast including the late Harold Ramis.If you are a fan buy now at this price you wont be disappointed even Mr Stay Puft would smile at this price who you gonna call Amazon right now enjoy!!

Great blu ray edition as good as the edition of The Thing double pack. However sometimes the image as a bit of grain. Altough the sound is great and there are lot of extras and subtitles on both movies. Besides that you have a note from Ivan Reitman and a book with the history of Ghostbusters, wich is great for collectors like me. And it has a great price too. Another jewel on my movie shelf. I recommend it 100%.

Burnt stuffing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

I brought this to watch on a big projector screen with my 9 yo daughter Christmas Day, having told her that it was a really great film. Well, something has clearly affected my memory as it was an absolute pile of poo. Next year we’ll do the dishes instead, as the challenge of the bottom of the burnt stuffing tray would be far more exciting prospect than watching the sequel, also included with this disc.
