Thoughts?
How long has Egon been gone?
This is a really good one. If GB disbanded in 199x, when thereafter did Egon's research take him to OK? And why was no one else involved if it was this important? Did he have any relationship with Callie?
Seems like very little to none. My own thought is "Elon" is Egon's estranged son. Was Callie’s mother Janine or someone else?
Hopefully somebody else. That would keep mostly true to Harold Ramis' intentions for the character in the two movies. How long was Egon in Oklahoma?
If we look at the computer equipment that is present in the secret lab, perhaps longer than a few years? But could we also presume that the OGB knew where he was, or how else would anyone discover that he's "missing"? How much did he know about the Shandor Mining Company?
I'm going to say quite a bit, and maybe it's possible his death wasn't an accident. There's definitely a lurking presence that has to know the true history of Shandor, in sort of a Halloween III sort of way. Why hasn’t there been a ghost siting for 30 years?
Someone earlier touched on the lack of paranormal activity tied to a larger surge by an entity like Gozer or Vigo. How soon after the Vigo event did activity stop?
This is my personal #1 question for this movie that I have been wanting to know since I was 5. GBII ends on such a high note. They saved the day and were finally lauded as hero by the general public, without being billed the second time. Are ghosts still stored in the containment unit in New York? If not, where are they now?
Also a really good one. Very recently I saw a picture of a mock-up of Egon's lab, which had a containment unit on the wall. Though that begs the question, how do you move a containment unit, or is this a new one that correlated to the OK expedition? What are Peter, Ray, and Winston doing now?
I wonder if this will relate to the character exposition from the beginning of GB II at all. Were they aware of where Egon was and what he was doing?
I say "yes" on some level. Otherwise how would anyone even realize he's gone? Is the Ecto-1 in Oklahoma the only one, and if so why did Egon keep it?
This is always a popular subject for debate, but my own thought has always been over the years that 1 and 1A are different cars. The orange license thing as a deep continuity person irks me (because of the white plate at the beginning of GB II), but I've let that one go for now. Is the Shandor mine being used as a containment facility, or is it the location of the next cross rip?
I'm going to say location of the next cross-rip. All those miners died in there, and then you add in the pure selenium, and then, "Whoa!".
