Dan Aykroyd Just Admitted He and Bill Murray Went Joyiding on Stolen NYPD Bikes

Ghostbusters II set stories just hit different.

Dan Aykroyd was celebrating Bill Murray's 76th birthday when he dropped a wild one: back during Ghostbusters II, he and Murray straight-up took New York Police Department motorcycles for a spin without permission.

Yeah, you read that right. Two comedy legends, 1989 New York City, borrowed law enforcement vehicles for what sounds like a late-night adventure. Aykroyd was paying homage to his longtime friend and collaborator when the story came out — the kind of behind-the-scenes movie set chaos that feels totally believable when you know how these two operated together.

It's the kind of move that would get you arrested in 2024, but somehow in the late '80s on a major studio production, it became a birthday story. That's Hollywood for you — or at least, it was back when sets ran different. Says a lot about the vibe on that production and the relationship between two comedy giants who clearly did whatever they wanted and got away with it.

Not exactly the Ghostbusters protocol, but it tracks.
