Jillian Holtzmann: It's 2040. Our president is a plant!
- At one point Jillian dances to "Rhythm of the Night" by Debarge. This song is in the key of D Major. Ray Parker Jr.'s Ghostbusters theme is in the key of A major, which is the Dominant Key of D Major. There is foreshadowing even in the music.
- Holtzmann's hairstyle and glasses resemble her counterpart Egon from Slimer! And the Real Ghostbusters (1988).
- Although Harold Ramis could not make a cameo like his costars from the original Ghostbusters due to his death in 2014, you can see a bust of Harold just outside of Erin's university office near the beginning of the film.
- Near the end of the film when Rowan become a giant version of the Ghostbusters logo his face bares a very strong resemblance to Ray from the original movies. In Ghostbusters (1984) Ray accidentally thought of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man during a similar scenario, and he is also considered the heart and soul of the Ghostbusters team.
- The film opens at the Aldridge Mansion. The name bears a close resemblance to that of the costume designer for Ghostbusters (1984), Theoni V. Aldredge.
