the scene where dana barret goes to see the ghostbusters for the first time and bill murry jumps the rail to greet her, if you listen carefully you can hear his foot clip the rail

But.
The discrepancy is just painful. As the instruction manual for the proton pack (on deviant art at the moment) that will come out soon will show...
The prop builders did such an in depth job on these props, it's a shame that the screen shows a worn down, falling apart, malfunctioning representation of them.
Like the 5 circles of output on the bar graph on the wand, the way they are linked to the various activation switches and the setting for the positron output (silver dial on wand)... All of these are interlinked and their functionality is interdependent and thought through... It's such a shame the production lets them down.
gold333 wrote:...wand handles worn down so the illusion of them being heavy duty metal equipment is lost and you can see they are just wood props.None of the props were made of wood (except the "motherboards" for the GB1 stunt packs). Considering that the production crew had only six weeks to design, build, and ship both the car and equipment out to New York, I'd say they did a pretty amazing job.

Seeing as they looked brown, and the trap had wooden pieces, I thought they must have been wood as well.gold333 wrote:So why do the handles of the wand in GB1 show an oak brown shade on the blue ray but not on the old dvd?

But still how did I miss that?Actually I had just picked up on that last year. lol. Never knew who he was all the times I had watched it all those years.

The shockmount on ray's pack is sticking up. Almost like he backed against something and bent it.I noticed it just last month when I was watching them again!.
I found this pic in the reference section to show what I'm talking about .....

I've seen this movie too many times to count and I just noticed it today.
It's a semi-well known fact that half the police in Film are played by him. Die Hard anyone?
