Who are you going to call? If Dan Aykroyd’s story is any indication, the answer might be the NYPD.
The “Ghostbusters” star says he and Bill Murray once borrowed two fully outfitted police motorcycles and turned New York’s Central Park into their own private racetrack.
The late-night escapade took place during production of “Ghostbusters II,” which was filmed in 1988 and 1989. Aykroyd said he and Murray “appropriated” the motorcycles from the film’s vehicle department before taking them for a ride through Manhattan.
Aykroyd recalled the misadventure Wednesday while marking Murray’s 76th birthday. Alongside two vintage photos of the pair, he wrote on Instagram, “So many adventures over the years.”
“One night shooting GB2, we appropriated two fully equipped police motorcycles from the movie’s motor pool and spent an hour chasing each other around a closed Central Park with full lights and sirens,” Aykroyd wrote.
According to Aykroyd, the unauthorized joyride never resulted in disciplinary action or legal trouble.
“No consequences. After all, we were Ghostbusters,” he joked.
The 74-year-old actor also used the tribute to honor Murray, calling him “the greatest comedy leading man of our time.”
Aykroyd and Murray first crossed paths in the 1970s, when both were establishing themselves in comedy.

Their careers later intersected at “Saturday Night Live.” Aykroyd was among the original cast members, while Murray joined the NBC sketch series in its second season.
The duo became best known for starring together in the original 1984 “Ghostbusters,” sharing the screen with Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson.
All four original Ghostbusters returned for the 1989 sequel, “Ghostbusters II.”
Following Ramis’ death in 2014 at age 69, Aykroyd, Murray and Hudson appeared in the 2016 reboot. They later reprised their original roles in “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” in 2021 and “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” in 2024.
Hudson told Page Six exclusively in March that Murray still reaches out without warning.
“[Bill Murray] will call me out of the blue and invite me to something or other that I’m probably not able to do,” Hudson said.
He added, “I tell him, ‘You call me out of the blue. But when I call you, you never return my call!’”
Aykroyd, meanwhile, has become increasingly disenchanted with life in Hollywood and has spent more time in his native Canada in recent years.
During a 2023 conversation with Adam Carolla, Aykroyd said he drives “very carefully” in Los Angeles and remains indoors during what he jokingly calls “prison hours”—the late-night period he spends inside his gated community.
