FILM NOTES

Columbia Pictures released Ghostbusters II in June 1989, reuniting the original cast and crew five years after the first film became a cultural phenomenon. Directed by Ivan Reitman, the sequel brought the team back to New York City to face a new supernatural threat tied to a river of psychic slime beneath the streets. It remains a significant entry in late-1980s blockbuster filmmaking, capturing the era's appetite for effects-driven comedy with a recognizable ensemble at the height of their popularity.

This cell presents three consecutive frames from the same interior sequence, each labeled Ghostbusters Team by the operator. The ornate setting, visible chandelier, and matching jumpsuits and equipment across all three frames suggest a pivotal scene staged within an elaborate, formal environment, offering a rare multi-frame look at the full team assembled together on location within the film.
