1!!The Film:
2* All of the new equipment that Holtzmann makes for the team, despite the first batch of them being dangerous or not fully-functioning.
3* Holtzmann's whole attitude throughout the film generally counts... but *especially* when the ladies are brought before the mayor. Erin, Abby, and Patty look understandably nervous, but Jillian carries on like an elementary school delinquent brought into the principal's office for the millionth time. No big deal.
4* Erin jumping into the ghost portal to rescue Abby.
5* Patty keeping her grip on Jillian, who's dangling out the window, while fighting off a possessed and homicidal Abby. Not only does she save Holtzmann and herself, she subdues Abby and ''smacks'' Rowan's ghost right out of her!
6--> '''Patty:''' The power of Patty compels you!
7* Holtzmann taking on a number of ghosts all by herself and looking totally badass while doing so.
8** Licking the gun before letting loose really *works*.
9** Bonus points for being perfectly timed to an sped up instrumental rock remix of the opening of the theme, as it slowly builds and crescendos. The music makes that scene work.
10* Times Square actually being transformed into its 1970s self, complete with headlines from the era running across the ticker.
11* Mr. Stay Puft returns as the final one of the 1920s Parade Balloon ghosts. He even nearly defeats Abby, Patty and Holtzmann, if not for Erin and her Swiss Army Knife.
12* TheStinger is up there with any Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse one. Two words: "What's Zuul?"
13* The team's LockAndLoadMontage before the Times Square Brawl is pretty great. And then the brawl itself has them show off all of their equipment to clear the square out.
14* The immediate shooting down of Rowan's FreudianExcuse. He says the Ghostbusters have no idea what it's like to be bullied and disrespected all the time, to which Abby replies, "...Yeah, we do. The world dumps on us ''constantly''."
15* Holtzmann going full gunslinger and taking out about two dozen ghosts in ten seconds... is a show-stopper. The swelling of an instrumental version of the classic theme amplifies the awesomeness.
16* The entire battle against Mayhem, but especially when they finally capture him.
17* Rowan's final form. He manages to make the ghost from the logo ''actually scary''. It helps that he's the size of a skyscraper.
