The firehouse in New York...
:15:12
and the firehouse in Los Angeles.
:15:15
The ramshackle condition
of the Los Angeles firehouse...
:15:18
is pretty much
the way the producers found it.
:15:21
They left it in this condition for
the meeting with the real estate agent.
:15:24
Once these initial scenes
were shot...
:15:26
the design team moved in
and completely remodeled the interior.
:15:29
After the movie was finished,
the Los Angeles firehouse...
:15:32
became an artists' studio.

The roofline you see
is actually a matte painting.

This particular "stone" Terror Dog
is a painting, not a statue.

"Writing for women has not been
one of my strengths in the past...
:16:20
but with Sigourney's contribution,
this character...
:16:23
really grew and strengthened."
- Harold Ramis

The fine for jaywalking in New York
was two dollars in 1984.

In 1998 it was $50.

Sigourney Weaver's character,
Dana Barrett...
:16:36
changed dramatically
as the script evolved.
:16:39
Originally, she was to be an alien
fugitive from another dimension...
:16:42
which transforms itself
into human female form.
:16:56
The role of Louis Tulley was written
for the late John Candy.
:16:59
When shooting started,
John was no longer available.
