* CareerResurrection: Creator/DanAykroyd was building off the success of ''Film/TradingPlaces'', which assured studios that he could be a comedy star without the late Creator/JohnBelushi as his co-star. This film's success (which Aykroyd co-wrote with co-star Creator/HaroldRamis) further proved he could indeed mesh well with others, thus assuring him a fruitful and extensive career in Hollywood.

Upon realizing kids were losing their minds over it, however, ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' was conceived and began running, which led to ''Film/GhostbustersII'' being green-lit. The sequel was toned down to be more kid-friendly, with maybe five swear words dropped in the whole movie, every character except Ray ceasing smoking (and Ray is never, ever seen with lit tobacco or even a cigarette; he merely chews on the end of unlit pipes and cigars), fewer sex jokes, and an overall broader style of comedy.
