Fun Facts

Despite how they appear in Ghostbusters II, the slime blowers are not functional without external power. In a number of shots, large cables can clearly be seen running from the backs of the slime blowers to (presumably) offscreen power sources and pumps. If the slime blower was an actual piece of equipment, it would be extremely heavy and could not hold the amount of liquid seen in the movie. (source: GB Fans)
In the 1980s, Kenner made a kid-sized slime blower in The Real Ghostbusters toyline, which was named the Ecto-Charger Pack, and only very loosely resembled the real prop.
