When fired under pressure, they acted
like invisible shotgun pellets...
:16:05
to blow out the wall and windows.

The jail scene was shot on location
at the actual New York prison facility.
:16:14
It was later decommissioned
by the city.
:16:17
"The lockup was
just a terrible place to shoot.
:16:19
It was dark and very crowded,
with low ceilings and dirt everywhere.
:16:22
Dan Aykroyd said that if there are
ghosts anywhere, it would be there.
:16:25
And he was right.
It had a very eerie feeling to it.
:16:27
Later, we discovered scratches
in the film that was shot that day...
:16:30
and we were all afraid we'd have
to go back there to redo the scene.
:16:33
Fortunately, Shelley Kahn was able to
work around the scratches in editing...
:16:36
and the reshoot wasn't necessary."

"Some things are impossible
to anticipate as you're writing.
:16:54
When we actually
got to the jail scene...
:16:56
and saw all those brutes
standing around us...
:16:59
I suggested to Ivan that they watch us
and listen intently...
:17:02
to all this physics and technical stuff
we were talking about.
:17:05
It's a natural, but it's something
you wouldn't think of...
:17:07
until you got to the set...
:17:09
and saw the physical relationship
between everything."...Harold Ramis
