CALGARY - Who ya gonna call when you find an old Dan Aykroyd movie in the dump?
Apparently, the police.
A worker at a Calgary landfill thought he had uncovered a snuff film when he found a piece of old movie footage that showed a man standing over a bloody body.
But once homicide investigators cleaned up the dirty images, they recognized the suspect as Aykroyd.
The Canadian actor, famous for starring in Hollywood blockbusters such as "Ghostbusters" and "The Blues Brothers," said through his agent that the film was from a lesser-known flick from 1990 called "Loose Cannons."
Police spokeswoman Emma Poole says the dump employee thought he was doing the right thing by turning over the film.
Aykroyd has told celebrity news site TMZ that the worker should have left the movie in the dump, where it belongs.
