The car,“ECTO-1 ” as in “ectoplasm,” which is a made up term for fictional ghost blood, continues to make sporadic appearances at car shows and theme parks, particularly around Halloween.įor the new movie, ECTO-1 is also a Cadillac again, and it’s a Reagan-era Fleetwood hearse-probably something that would have actually been in service in real life while the original Ghostbusters was in theaters. This car that Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, Ernie Hudson and the late Harold Ramis rode into battle against their ghostly enemies remains an iconic image ingrained in the American pop culture.
#ECTO 1 GHOSTBUSTERS CAR MOVIE#
Many movie goers these days may not remember the original 1984 film as clearly as they did before but still the imagery of the original 1959 Cadillac ambulance which was then outfitted with sirens and equipment that the team would need to capture and remove ghosts.
In all honesty, it’s kind of more befitting for battling legions of the undead. This movie features a number of updates from the 1984 film, both in the new cast and in 2016 mega budget effects but the Ecto-1 has been upgraded from the iconic 1959 Cadillac ambulance to a 1982 Cadillac DeVille hearse. One of the stars of the films turned out not to be relegated to the case but the rather elaborate production design (a big step up for this group of filmmakers) including the newly revamped “Ecto-1” the iconic vehicle our 4 heroines drive on the way to bust up some ghoulish spirits and have us laughing and thrilled the entire ride. Many of us at Endurance managed to catch the movie over the weekend and walked out fans of the newly re-invigorated franchise.
