Just wondering if he actually did make it into the film either with new footage or old footage?
Or was he at least mentioned or referenced?

Thanks!

Rick would not stoop to appear in an obvious cash-grab.

NOT WHAT THE FILM IS AT ALL...IT WAS DEVELOPED AND WRITTEN BY JASON REITMAN,WITH THE RIGHT INTENTIONS.

Not this one, but i could see him popping up in the future. This was a great movie, there will be more.

I hope not. I'm probably in the minority but I never liked the bumbling Rick Moranis character. I always found his presence in the films unnecessary & more annoying than endearing, comic relief. How many people have felt about Jar Jar Binks is how I feel about this character.

Specific petty grievances i always had against the character: GB1 I hated the implication that he had sex with Venkman's lady Dana, even if they were possessed or whatever. In GBII I hated how he steals the Ghostbusters gear & seems to falsely get the credit for taking take down the slime shell with his hapless attempts at "helping".
