    Just found out about this -

    You've probably never heard of it, but the same year Murray and Aykroyd gave us the classic Ghostbusters they also made Nothing Lasts Forever directed by Saturday Night Live shorts helmer Tom Schiller. The film's studio, MGM, shelved the film for three decades. It was never released in theaters or on home video.

    The film also stars Gremlins' Zach Galligan as a young artist in a bizarre alternate reality Manhattan. Aykroyd plays his boss, while Murray pops up as a bus driver who drives Galligan's character to the moon. ( FYI LA got hit by the big one)

    I'mma go out on a limb and assume there was a good reason it was put on a shelf and forgotten about.

    Ok...I was fast tracking through it, kinda liking the 1930/1940 style of filming it.....and totally hit the breaks at the "test of fire"/bathhouse insanity - I mean...WTF?
