Too Hot to Handle: Remembering Ghostbusters II

About This Movie

TOO HOT TO HANDLE: Remembering Ghostbusters II dives deep into the making of the sequel that often gets overshadowed by its predecessor. The documentary unfolds with a rich mix of interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, capturing the unique atmosphere of the late '80s film industry. It's interesting how it examines themes of nostalgia and the pressures of living up to a classic. The pacing meanders a bit but allows for some thoughtful reflections on the performances, especially from the core cast, who share their experiences in a candid way. And there's a solid focus on the practical effects that brought the ghostly visuals to life, which feels particularly relevant in today’s CGI-heavy landscape.

This documentary has seen a limited release, making it somewhat scarce within collector circles. Its connection to CLEANIN' UP THE TOWN adds an extra layer of interest, as many collectors appreciate companion pieces that dive into the same universe. Generally, it's more sought after by those who have a deep affection for the Ghostbusters franchise, and it's often discussed in relation to the evolution of sequels in the film industry.
