In a new video, the new-and-improved Ecto-1 could be seen screeching down the street, showing off some excellent pick-up power as it zoomed through the town.
During another take of the scene, the driver made a dangerously fast right turn, which sent the car skidding, before it sped off down the street.
Filming began on July 12 in Calgary, Alberta and has moved to the surrounding areas like Drumheller, which is northeast of Calgary.
