While Zucker, Rubin, the cast, and producers were all unsure of how this supernatural love story would do in the theaters, all were pleasantly surprised to see that "Ghost" not only did well at the box office, but was an outright smash.
There weren't many s films that matched the success of "Ghost" and the ones that did were mostly action flicks like "Independence Day," "Jurassic Park," and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day. While the success of "Ghost" could be attributed to a variety of factors, perhaps part of what helps it resonate with audiences is its exploration of spirituality, which was present both on and off screen. Writer Bruce Joel Rubin has a strong spiritual side and practice as he's taught meditation for decades.
As he notes in his bio , he writes films "to witness and explore the unseen world of our lives. The cast also had their own beliefs in other worlds. In a interview with the Academy of Achievement , Whoopi Goldberg expressed her belief that "when people die, the spirit flies from them and fragments," and that she's been "hit with a lot of fragments.
Patrick Swayze believed that people could come back and visit loved ones because "death is a beginning, not an ending," according to Wendy Leigh's Patrick Swayze: One Last Dance. It's hard to imagine the pottery scene in "Ghost" without the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody" playing on the jukebox fun fact: Zucker brought the jukebox from his own home.
In fact, "Ghost" was originally going to be called "Unchained Melody," as one of the producers had decided before production that this would be the song used in the pottery love scene. But the name, "Unchained Melody," doesn't refer to a metaphorical, boundless love; the song was actually written for the little-known prison film, "Unchained," which was based on the book, "Prisoners are People. Originally sung by Todd Duncan, the song first appears in "Unchained" when an inmate starts singing it in his cell.
The lyrics "time goes by so slowly" are actually about the slowness of time for this inmate, who's stuck in jail while his lover is outside. The song was nominated for an Oscar at the time but didn't win and it wasn't until the Righteous Brothers covered it in that it started to gain some traction. And it really wasn't until Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore turned cold, wet clay into the hottest material on earth that the song made it into popular culture as the staple of classic love songs it is today.
Of all the ways that "Ghost" has made a lasting impact on popular culture, one of the most surprising may be its influence on hip-hop. One might not expect to see a connection between the supernatural love story of "Ghost" and rap songs but Patrick Swayze has a last name that rhymes with "crazy," which has led to him being name-dropped in a number of hip-hop songs.
With the release of "Ghost," his name took on a new meaning as rappers like the Notorious B. It has a nice and weird ring to it, don't you think?

Ghost became part of hip-hop slang Paramount Pictures. Exactly 30 years to the day since Whoopi Goldberg officially became an Oscar winner, the entertainer is reliving the moment over Zoom. The video also brought back more personal memories. All I knew was that she deserved it.
Both as an aspiring entertainer and a young Black girl, Haddish viewed the Oscar as a dream greater than the trophy itself. On that March night, she became the first Black woman to receive an Oscar in 50 years.
The real touch-and-go moment came before she landed the part. As the comedic relief in the romantic tale, the role was the glue that held the movie together. As Goldberg tells it, practically every Black woman in Hollywood including Tina Turner and Patti LaBelle was considered for the part, but Swayze fought for her to get it. During the audition, Goldberg really sold it.
During the first table read, Goldberg began suggesting new lines, which were ultimately written into the script. We had a bunch of friends over and TVs everywhere, and it was great, because we were screaming and yelling when Whoopi won. Fortunately, the supporting actress award is the first of the night, so neither Goldberg nor her mother had to wait long to learn her fate. Can I do it before they play me off?
Will I remember to thank the people I need to thank? She also had chocolate Oscar statuettes made that she presented to them. Free food. Goldberg says she learned about the concept while appearing in the episode. Since her Oscar win, 11 more Black actors have earned the honor, but only Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer have joined her as Black women with multiple nominations.
