"At the time we were shooting...
:24:07
the big arrival outside
Dana's apartment building...
:24:10
we still didn't know for certain...
:24:12
whether we were going to be able
to use the 'Ghostbusters' title.
:24:15
Negotiations were still underway.
:24:17
I remember going into a phone booth
on the corner...
:24:19
calling Columbia
and holding up the receiver...
:24:21
so they could hear the 300 screaming
extras we had tying up traffic...
:24:24
shouting,
'Ghostbusters! Ghostbusters! '
:24:26
And I said to them, 'You better damn
well get that title!"...Joe Medjuck

To create the gaping sinkhole...
:25:34
a hydraulically operated
collapsing street was constructed...
:25:36
at the Columbia Ranch in California...
:25:38
backed up by the facsimile of
the apartment building in New York.
:25:41
Since no permanent damage could be done
to the streets in New York...
:25:44
the area around the actual
apartment house location...
:25:46
was dressed with large,
jutting slabs of simulated asphalt.
:25:50
The final scene combined shots
from the New York location...
:25:54
and the sinkhole location
in California.

The stunt cost $250,000 in 1984.
