Fun Facts

Be sure to check out Spook Central's Shot on Site article about a behind-the-scenes photo taken near the LED Sign shot location.
After the opening Ghostbusters II title logo, we see the decrepit Ecto-1 all around town en route to a birthday party. Through the magic of editing, the car literally jumps all around town. It starts off on Columbus Avenue at W. 89th Steet. Then it jumps to Central Park South (St. Moritz) and over to Columbus Circle, before going back onto Columbus Avenue so that it can turn onto W. 88th Steet. Finally, though it appears to remain on the same road, after the shot switches from in back of the car to in front of it, it's magically over on E. 78th Street!
