Synopsis:
Sidelined after their spectacular save of New York City five years ago, the Ghostbusters once again answer the call when an underground river of ghoulish goo threatens to rot the Big Apple to the core!
After another Blu-Ray set with previously unseen deleted scenes released, I've revisited the film after first making an extended cut more than 3 years ago.
18 alternate, deleted, and extended scenes have been reintegrated back into the film, with more than 12 minutes of all-new footage.

Intention:
Since there was a new Blu-Ray set with new deleted scenes, of course I wanted to update and make a new version of my extended cut. Slime-time!

Release Information:
Digital
Special Features:
- Unused Deleted Material and Workprint Scenes (7:54)
Editing Details:
A lot of the deleted material has black levels crushed beyond repair, so some moments and scenes will look so much darker than the surrounding footage, so be aware that I've done a lot of work to make it look good but it's not perfect.
Cuts and Additions:

- added Pete and Dana outside her apartment, trying to reminice about the good times

I have always enjoyed the second chapter of the Ghostbusters, even though it is not as good as the first film and iconic, but this version opens a new perspective of how each scenes integrated to the film that made me think for the original cut we have is why Louis wanted to become a Ghostbuster or the mayor's assistant fired which resembles the health inspector getting fired from the first film.
Reasons I enjoy more of this version that's extended edition is Peter and Dana's (Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver) storyline is sweet and cute that adds more to Peter reentering Dana's life while she have a baby.
The Statue of Liberty scenes adds a complimentary of the scenes of the guys how they are able to bring it to the city to rescue Dana and Oscar from Vigo.
Scene of Louis contributing to the story adds much to his character to the narrative rather than him just being there just for giggles.
Of course much best as Bobson could with the footage of deleted scenes is not upgraded to restoration of the workprint and the audio of some parts of the deleted scenes is a little off hearing through surround sound while watching but I really like the extended edition of Ghostbusters 2 and possibly wouldn't mind watching it again.

First off, this edit is a straight up extended cut. It doesn't play around with the original timeline, just adds any and all extended or alternate scenes, no matter what. For instance, this has an alternate actress reading the same lines during the World of the Psychic scene. It's no necessarily better than the original, but it's swapped out in this edit because it's an available alternate scene. This could be a negative for some, but I found it to be a very cool experience. it seems familiar, but not. This movie is one of my favorites from when I was a kid and I've probably rented and seen the vhs 100 times. For the most part it's pretty seamless except when it's footage from the workprint, which Bobson really did a good job to clean up. There's a couple moments where the audio levels don't match or a hard cut into an inserted scene. If there's really any negatives those would be it, but honestly it's really a great job with the edit. In the end, these scenes were all deleted for a reason, but this was a fun way to experience material that in all respects would make a bad movie worse. Killing ghosts with positive vibes man! Thank you Bobson Dugnutt! It was a really fun watch, especially for a big fan of the first two movies such as myself.

I've seen too many of Bobson's outstanding and flawless edits to review all of them, so I decided to go with a personal favorite of mine.
Even though people often deem Ghostbusters II just a lazy copy of the first one not worthy of consideration, I have always enjoyed the movie, despite being inferior to the original 1984 masterpiece.
Masterfully reintegrating a lot of new (and old) available deleted footage, Bobson turned the often maligned sequel in a new and more entertaining version of the film, enhancing the experience for every kind of viewer.
As usual, the editing is by far perfect, getting great results in the integration of new scenes even when the difference is dictated by the deteriorated state of the material.
Thank you for making Ghostbusters II an exciting experience once more!

I like how the scenes are edited together. My favorite scene is with Louis trying to capture Slimer, as it would explain why they were cool later. In the theatrical version, Louis was frighten of Slimer, and the next time we see them, they were cool.
Louis trying to reason with his cousin at the mental hospital I like, because we never actually got to see any of his relatives.

My favorite kind of fanedits are the ones where editor re-integrates all of available deleted scenes, and even extra ones from, for example promo materials... Bobson Dugnutt is one of the editors that are good at exactly that, crafting extended editions after my own heart. I absolutely adored the previous older extended cut of GBII Bobson did, and this newly tinkered version is a clear sign of evolving skills and the vision. Upscaling added scenes really helps to marry them with the rest of materials, so I'm glad that was done with care, where it would be easy to overdo it, and actually make scenes stick even more out. The color timing is modest, and works quite well, considering the clipping in blacks, inherent to the source.
A well rounded edit, which will now be my go to version of this movie, from a talented editor who is not shying away from forgoing a "less is more" approach, and instead looks genuinely passionate looking in direction, where sometimes... more is actually, well... more.
