Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase were almost at the center of a Cold War “incident” during the filming of Spies LIke Us. It all happened when they were in Norway, as Aykroyd explained to the Daily Telegraph:

“We shot some of Spies Like Us in Norway, on the top of a mountain near Sognefjord , and we had a replica of a Soviet SS20 rocket on the back of a launcher parked right there on the mountain. It was a very beautiful spot. We were shooting over a week, and one day we got a call from a representative of the United States Department of Defence because their satellite had spotted our rocket and called the Norwegian government. They thought a Soviet rocket had been secretly moved into Norway, so the producers had to clarify that this was a fake. Thus a major international diplomatic incident was averted.”

Aykroyd was discussing highlights from his life of travel at hotels and venues across the world, and included his spookiest moment:

“Ghostbusters evolved from my interest in the paranormal. I remember being in the Hotel del Coronado, in San Diego, and they told me a story about a woman who’d been beaten and strangled in a room there. She had been killed by a sailor more than 100 years before and they said her blood was still on the room’s carpet. They took me up to the room, which looked pretty much as it would have at the time of her murder, and I looked but there was no blood on the carpet. But then, just as I was walking out, the bellboy said, “Look!” I turned back and one, two, three, four brown blotches just seemed to materialise before our eyes. Maybe it’s a trick. You can rent that room – I think it’s number 419 – so go see for yourself.”

Aykroyd also detailed his favorite bar (Jean Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop, on Bourbon Street, New Orleans), and his involvement in a bizarre moment on an Air Canada flight, which you can read here.
