Old acquaintances, new hunters and strange talent
Of the old guard Dan Aykroyd in particular is given a lot of playing time, but fortunately Ernie Hudson and Bill Murray are not missing either – when the latter plays Dr. When Venkman coolly enters his old place of work, he immediately finds the once hidden whiskey stash.
