In Ghostbusters the Deleted Scene: Promotion is a scene in right after the "Save the Day" scene where Winston Zeddemore suggests maybe going to Australia instead of going up 550 Central Park West and Peter Venkman then tells him they were thinking of promoting him but maybe they won't with that attitude.

Plot[]

Egon and Ray brought out Proton Packs from Ecto-1 while Peter reminded them to be professionals. As Winston helped Egon strap one on, he suggested they should hop on a plane to Australia or Indonesia and wait until it all blows over. Peter noted he was just thinking of promoting Winston but wasn't so sure anymore. Ray led everyone up to the entrance.

Trivia[]

  • The scene was deleted because the crew didn't think the audience would want to see the Ghostbusters afraid at this point in the movie on account they're the heroes - the city's last hope - and reluctance just didn't seem to be the right attitude.[1][2]

Paragraph reads: "The exchange between Winston and Venkman, suggesting a hesitance on their part to face the supernatural power within the building, was deleted. Instead, the Ghostbusters seemed positively exuberant with anticipation - particularly Venkman. Acting every bit the game show host Dana had likened him to, Venkman waves and struts for the crowd, blowing kisses, shaking hands and soliciting applause as he introduces members of his team."
