- The pottery scene is iconic, erotic and now comically explicit. Its collapsing pot is reported as unplanned; a tentatively identified Naked Gun 3 parody and revived Unchained Melody are discussed.
- Sam’s shooting and his realization he is dead are praised as tense and well performed.
- Sam foiling Willie’s apartment intrusion, using the cat and learning ghost powers is another choice.
- Otomey first hearing Sam improves a scene that could have sunk the film; her attempted meeting with Molly gets honorable mention.
- Carl’s attempted seduction and coffee spill are a choice, followed by both Willie and Carl being dragged to hell.
- The farewell is disputed: one host finds it too long with weak effects, while another cannot avoid crying at Molly’s final ditto.
- The possession/dance scene is a favorite; critics’ suggested Whoopi-visible version sparks debate over 1990 tolerance, present representation and preserving the lovers’ reunion.
- The Rita Miller bank sequence is a favorite for its banter and Goldberg’s performance, alongside Goldwyn’s sweating tension. — Chris Ryan
- Amanda enjoys the Swayze/Goldberg buddy chemistry but definitively chooses pottery. — Amanda Dobbins
