for Franky in Ghostbusters III: Hellbent (2000)
Suggested by nightmare1398
Following the passing of Peter Venkman in 1998, Ray, Egon, and a now Dr. Winston, become mentors for a new generation of Ghostbusters including a tough New Jersey punk name, Franky, a rapper named Lovell, an uptight gymnast science student named Moira, Latina grad-student Carla, along with the help of a 10-year old scientist, Nathaniel. They're tasked to stop a gateway of Hell from literally evicting people back into the world of the living in order to alleviate their congestion problems. They discover Hell actually exists as a parallel universe of New York City called "ManHellton," existing side-by-side with our own, but slightly out of phase with what we see. And given the right technology, you can flip a switch and not only see it, but enter it. ManHellton is where all the worst things of modern urban life are manifested; traffic is stuck in endless gridlock with drivers swearing in different foreign languages, all the cops are blue minotaurs, Central Park would be a huge peat mine with green demons, and surrounded by black onyx thousand-foot high skyscrapers. The ruler of ManHellton is Mr. Lou Siffer, (described as a Donald Trump-type.) Peter Venkman would make a cameo at the end as one of the forms of God to communicate with the Ghostbusters.
