- Watch the iconic car crash scene from The Blues Brothers.
As the Blues Brothers race to pay the orphanage tax bill on time, their enemies - including Neo-Nazis and the police - are on the chase. A record-breaking total of 102 cars were destroyed on this shoot, forcing production way over budget to create one of cinema's most iconic car crash scenes
From "The Blues Brothers": when brothers Joe and Jake Elwood discover the orphanage in which they were raised is destined to be forecloseed, the pair set out on "a mission from God" to raise the $5000 needed to pay the orphanage's property tax bill. Deciding that the best way to do it is to reunite their old R&B band, the brothers encounter a homicidal "mystery woman" (Carrie Fisher), Neo-Nazis, and a country and western band - all while being relentlessly pursued by the police.

''Use of unnecessary violence, in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers, has been APPROVED."
What makes this even funnier: the whole thing started, because Elwood run a red light and his driver´s license was taken, for various other traffic violations. Imagine, if he had done a serious crime!
I love the inclusion of “unnecessary violence” surely if it’s been approved the police could justify it as necessary, but here they’re making a point
To be fair, just about every other form of " necessary violence," was Unleashed against The Blues Brothers and it didn't slow them down one Whit.
Best Car Chase s
Scene EVER with all those Vehicles Getting "DISTORTED" in one Chase Scene EVER and only Dan Aykroyd still alive "without" his best friend Jim Bellucci with him 😢😢 !!!!
Bet there's quite a few cops who wish they could hear that over the radio during a chase.
I myself "AGREE" with you DoubleP !!!!!!
I heard this movie is in the Guiness World Book of Records for the number of cars they crashed. Too lazy to fact check.
Since Broken by his own sequel "blues brothers 2000"
@@yohannGT95 with the addition of one car more
The record belong to a 70 movie “gone in 60 second”
The current record goes to Transformers Dark of the Moon with 532 vehicles destroyed in the movie.
If you mean just cop cars then The Blues Brothers 2000 still holds that record with 104 cop cars destroyed
According to whatever source I got it from, there was 104 cars crashed. I checked the cost of the car and the price of the entire bill was $1,731,499.26 (1980) or $6,374,670 (2023)
"It's 110 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.."
"Hit it!"
I live about 110 miles from chicago, and I say it every time lol
It’s 106 miles, not 110.
I have seen a super car hauling in the loop so it can be done.
"Jake. Jake! I gotta pull over."
The greatest exit off a highway, ever.
Agreed.
One of the greatest
He could have waited 10 more yards to avoid the guardrail 😅
this movie has the better car chase scene than the entire Fast and Furious franchise
Even the flight Dodge has more to real life than F&F hahahahahahahaha
Oh cmon. 1 and tokyo drift had cool scenees too
The blues brothers chase was excellent and keeps you on the edge of your seat The 80s had the best chases I must say Bad Boys 2 the car trailer chase is excellent too
@@mikeowen7526 Blues brothers car chase is the best of all time in Hollywood.
Fun and surreal
2 better car chases
Greatest car chase scene ever. Also greatest accumulation of automotive damage ever racked up in a film. I know the bill must have been staggering.
All cars were donated from the car manufacturers
@@clintyoung6851no, the Bluesmobiles were retired California Highway Patrol cars. Those were ‘74 Dodge Monaco’s, the bulk of the Chicago police cars were ‘76-‘77 Dodge Royal Monaco’s. I believe those were legitimate Chicago PD cars that were retired and sold for this movie. If you look closely enough you can see some ‘75 Monaco’s, a Chevrolet Bel Air, a Ford LTD, a late 70’s Chevrolet Impala and some Ford Fairmonts as CPD cars as well.
@@clintyoung6851 All the Chicago Police sqaudrols with the classic Mars rotating lights!
The cop cars crashing near the end of Blues Brothers 2000 is even more ridiculous 😆
th-cam.com/video/LDEFL2fLGIE/w-d-xo.html
@@clintyoung6851 they were retired police cars
At 4:19 they actually were driving the car at 115 mph. The city shut down the streets on a Sunday morning and allowed for two passes. The pedestrians were later added in.
Also worth adding that the pedestrains were added only because the footage looked "speed-up" without them
He was MOVIN'!
And Dan Aykroyd insisted on doing the driving in that scene
good ol 440 haulin the mail!
@@jennifersman7990No.
'why the hell do you guys need 200 cop cars? I thought you were making a movie about 2 musicians?'
It's hilarious how the blues brothers act as if they daily get chased by the cops so they're really use to it 😂😂
They were even making small talk during the chase about landmarks, as if they were bored.
thats because, they WERE used to it...and it WAS a daily thing for them...or close to it anyway...
@darkclawgreatonenas Elwood had made some great progress too. Wasn't pulled over in 6 month's.
Mission from God.
I think part of it was they are supposed to have some gang background. I remember looking up what the cross tattoo they both had was because I wanted to get one but it turns out it's for some Chicago based gang. Would also explain robbing a gas station to get back owed money
FUNNIEST shit is that the truck that John Candy and crew crashed into just kept DRIVING ON like nothing happened
It copied the scene from Smokey and the Bandit, a few years prior 😂
At 7:33 I thought the camera was on the ground looking up, but then as the skyscraper came into view, it just made it even more absurd. Can’t stop laughing at how incredibly high up that road bridge would have been lol
I’ve always loved you.
First they were 70 feet above the ground in Milwaukee. Then they were directly over an island in Lake Michigan. Then they were higher than the Sears Tower is tall. Finally, they land on a street in Chicago. These jumps in geographical logic add to the absurdity of this classic, unforgettable car chase.
The absurdity (and audacity) of the Blue’s Mobile being able to do jumps and backflips was always hilarious to me.
I assume the filmmakers were taking lots of drugs to not only come up with completely ridiculous scenarios like that, but to also make it work in the film 😆😆
The part when the Nazis fly into the fucking air is so damn stupid and nonsensical is so damn hilarious, it always gets me good 🤣🤣🤣
@@jeffw8218no…they were on a mission from God. He works in mysterious ways you know…
1:38 "Hey they broke my watch!"
Two watches were harmed in the making of this film.
Sounds like someone says "They broke my watch!" at 5:14 if you listen closely. There may be a third watch harmed.
@@memerman512 5:13? Yeah, I hear it. At least 3 officers' watches have been broken in this story - the first one was just at the end of the mall chase scene. And wasn't Jake's broken when he got it before he was released from prison? Didn't he mention something about a cop breaking his watch?
@@101Volts Yep - when Kermit is giving him his belongings back, he lists out "one watch: broken"
I just love how that 440 is screaming at 120 mph!
With lots more to go.
I remember reading a list of the fastest police cars, several were 440 Mopar powered. If I remember correctly, the Polara was the fastest at 145 mph.
It's a cop engine. Also got cop tires, cop suspension, cop everything.
Please add the *timestamp*.
It was built before catalytic converters.
1974 Dodge Monocco legit beast
If there are more madcap farcical chase comedies like these where climatic elaborate slapstick chases are present, the world of comedy films will remain healthier and thriving for years to come.
Try 'The Great Race'.
@@ianm42yt I love that movie, how about "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"?
@@reneastle8447 a classic!
Signal 10-7 Niner still engaged,vehicle traveling Southbound approaching Chicago city limits,commander advises will contact Chicago precincts for local intercept,maintain pursuit!
@@sferg9582 No doubt about it, a bona fide comedy classic.
I’m an over the road driver, and I was recently in Joliet Illinois, and sure enough there was a truckstop that had a bluesmobile on a stand. And inside they had life size image of Joliet Jake and Elwood blues on it with the famous quote of “it’s 106 miles to chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark and we’re wearing sunglasses, hit it!” Now to see that was just epic. And all I stopped for was just a weigh scale ticket.
You never know what you’ll see out on the open road
"Hey, Jake! Jake! I got to pull over!"
*Zooms off the road and causes a ten-plus police car pile-up*
"Pull over" he says...
I counted 8
I was waiting for the dispatch guy to say “Keep the change you filthy animal!”😂
Same
At least twice in the chase I hear a cop exclaim,"My watch!" Even happens during the car chase in the mall. A running joke.
What’s the joke? I don’t know about it.
My leg!
Perhaps this was the inspiration of the “My Cabbages!” From Avatar: The Last Airbender? Just a theory, mind you. No proof of it.
Sponge bob: my leg!
BB: my watch!
Probably an inside joke amongst the production crew.
I've probably seen this movie 100 times since I was a kid (I was really into cars) and I still, to this day, think these bottles at 5:26 are gonna get smashed up lol
I still want to know how all three cars missed those bottles.
I suspect the bottles were there as a marker for the stunt drivers, so they wouldn't hit the camera.
It makes me uncomfortable that they didn’t hit them anyway!
The one thing that didn't get smashed.
Lol I've noticed the same thing for years. Awesome driving
Nothing can stop you when you're on a mission for God! 😂😂😂
Amen 🙏🏼 so true
My favorite part is at 0:02 with everyone looking like they’re casually going to work lol. 😂😂😂
The Blues brother' car doing a backflip is the best of all 😆
Would love to have a Dodge Monaco. Such a beast of a machine.
Me too
Sorry, but they all got destroyed for this movie lol
all time dream car
I'm sure there still some around
Great film, still hilarious in 2023
Even more hilarious in 2038
I first saw this movie when I was like 10 years old. To this day, any time I’m driving in Chicago and take Lower Wacker, I quote Elwood’s line of dialogue about being very close to the Honorable Richard J. Daley Plaza. I’m pretty sure my family hates me 😂
That's where they have the Picasso!
@@JeromeWade-lm8jhyep!
7:08 -7:45 this part always gets me good 🤣
I watched it with a girlfriend who was so stuck on the fact that despite the back flip it must have done a 180. I just said "it's the Bluesmobile", that car transcends magic.
Whoever planned out these scenes deserves a medal back when movies were fun
I absolutely love how this goes from state troopers to city cops to fucking Nazis XD! My step dad showed me this movie when I was in middle school and I am now 24 years old and love this movie
Love John Candy...may God bless you!
The use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of The Blues Brothers... Has been approved!!!
Before NFS Most Wanted, we had the Blues Brothers 😂
That many police cars,
*GTA at its finest.*
But only 1 word to describe the cops' reaction: IDIOTS
Still a more realistic chase scene than Fast and Furious...😂😂😂
Well, they were actually doing almost 120mph here! One of the fastest speeds prob done off the freeway in Downtown Chicago, they closed it off then added the people back in post. Not to mention, the most cop cars ever crashed at the time. Most modern movies thats all cgi now.
No cg that’s why
@@lemmyspeaks i dont have a problem with cg
But cg is really bad when its misused
CGI should be used to elevate a movie
But my go to approach is if you can do it practical then do it, i think this is why Mad Max fury road is so much better then most of the Fast and furious movies
@@SinAster_19 like Jurassic park. They used cg when it was absolutely necessary, terminator 2 utilized it when it was necessary. Too much cg in movies now
🧢
At 4:18............ can you imagine that they were actually driving that fast, and it wasn't sped up!!! 😯
The police package 440 was truly a beast of an engine. Often referred to as “King Kong” engines.
The city allowed the film crew to make two 120 mph passes on a Sunday morning with all the intersections closed off to traffic
@@dw8840 What would that cost to do today? No need to answer, I was just thinking about it.
7:43. " I've always loved you" Haha idk why I find this part to be so funny 😂😅
That smashed beer can sliding back and forth on the dash while they both execute perfect delivery of lines 👌
Just blew a rod... is that serious? 😅
The sound of the bluesmobile engine brings a chill to my spine ❤
Better than any Fast and Furious chases....
Thats cgi bs anyway
🧢
@@Lettersinthesand-wp5rj Nothing wrong with CGI
@Lettersinthesand-wp5rj the first couple movies when the series was still about cars didn't use cgi for the chases.
*I just wanna point out the epic cars in the chase, old v8’s, imagine if it was filmed with prius running from some tesla’s 😂*
You have to put the Jetson sound on them
Was I good car?
No. You were the best.
Literally the best movie ever created. I watch it over and over and it never gets old.
One of the best
Most hilarious police car chase I have ever seen in a movie. Blues Brothers!!!
The best part is when they get launched in the air at the end! 😂
loved the police chase in this movie..😅😂😂 specially the sirens of the chicago police😂
Love this movie. Saw this scene many, many times.
I don't even care it's 43 movies like this never gets old 👍 😊
I would go out on a limb here and put this car chase right up there with Bullit and The French Connection as one of cinemas greatest!
John Candy played the perfect psychopath 🤣🤣🤣 he totally wanted them to get away ❤
They couldn’t do this without CGI anymore. Such a shame.
This is the movie that made me want to visit Chicago. Love this movie.
Same here!
Kudos to those stunt car drivers. Have to lol all the cops getting out of their cars after a huge crash, and they still have their hats on.
Both Elwood and the cops are driving cop cars, but clearly he’s the only one who knows HOW to drive it 😂
Plus it helps when Elwood’s has a 440 in it, pre catalytic converter so it’d have considerably more power then the Chicago PD cars, at best those had a 2 barrel, single exhaust with converter 360, hardly a powerful engine.
As a kid at 7 or 8 years old.. Of the whole movie.. the car chase and crashing was my favorite part.. but when the pinto wagon went off the bridge, I really thought they had tall bridges in Chicago and they were that high up in the air..
One of the wildest and funniest car chases in the history of cinema!
Story is Akroyd and Belushi bribed the stunt driver a case of beer to clip the dome lights off that cop car. Did it on the first take. Props to Jane Byrne, she took heat for letting them film this in the city. Didn't get permission to drop that car too, just did it.
50 dollars (that time money) and a case of beer if I remember correctly
@@LeilyndThornbrugh-tn8zume
If there's a lupin the third movie it needs to have a chase like this
No one ELSE has ever gone though so much to pay taxes.
the police sirens sound make
me wacko 😁👍
They almost sound like a box full of ducklings of 3 days old.
Still better than anything in the Fast and the Furious franchise.
1974 Dodge Monaco with a 440 police package 👍
Saw this film a million years ago,....it still makes me laugh. I imagine the "mall" scene in my head when ever I am in a mall, or a similar shopping center. As a rule I hate those places,....so I dig deep into my memories, and try to imagine driving though them and crashing into everything, wrecking all the displays, knocking the mannequins down, busting up the kiosks,....laying waste to all that gross consumerism crap. My next go-to fantasy is recalling the stories about kids and adults who hid inside of a closed shopping mall, over a weekend. Same scenarios,....wrecking things, busting up the mannequins, eating all the fancy candies, & foods. In my 20s, I would get temporary jobs, at malls,...in the stores doing inventory, or helping set up the displays,....then even later in life,....I worked with an interior design company, setting of seasonal displays in the stores and the showroom windows.
"New Oldsmobiles are in early this year."
"This place has everything."
As a Londoner, I have a similar thing when walking through Waterloo Station and imagine I am Matt Damon as Jason Bourne trying to avoid the grab teams while staying out of view of the CCTV cameras. Well, it makes up for being a humdrum accountant!
7:43
the precise moment you could just about hear Adolf Hitler screaming in agony from hell.
th-cam.com/video/EYEbAyc5oFo/w-d-xo.html
4:44 When your car doesn’t have ABS
"Jake, JAKE, I gotta pull over."
Elwoods handles are next level. Hes a smith with it.
2:05 Let the chase begin!!!
Comedy = Tragedy + Time
Or
Comedy = Crash All the Cars
Love that you can very clearly see the ramp used for one of the cop cars to pile up at 5:05 lol
Anyone else amazed those beer bottles were missed when they turned down the alley?
Might this possibly be the greatest car-chase movie of all time? 😄
This is one movie that should never, ever, be remade. It is perfect the way it is.
This movie has two Oscar's for best film in the same year
That dodge was clocking them digits lol
Five Star Wanted Level
They need to make the Blues Brothers car an option with the highest rated speed, handling, shocks and acceleration!
Six stars, they have the army after them too. Only GTA5 has the 5 stars as max, all the others have 6 and that was when the military came after you
"They broke my Watch!" 😂😂
Fun fact, the CPD radio cop is also the tommy gun toting gangster in the fake movies in Home Alone 1 and 2
Wonder if he told them all to keep the change you filthy animals?
“Keep the change, ya filthy animal.”
Sweet knowledge! Thanks!
RIP Ralph Foody.
It's the backflip for me. 😂
0:38 I like the fact that Elwood destroys a safety barrier and rushes down a steep slope, all to go back in the same direction XD
Apparently the Lord gives the Bluesmobile force powers.
I played this picture every summer, for18 years, at my open air cinema during Summerfest weekend here in Milwaukee Wisconsin.
I saw this movie for the first time as a child at a drive in movie cinema. Loved it.
Don’t ask how. But after watching this clip; “THEY BROKE MY WATCH!!!!!”
Ive said before how i was like 8-9 when mum let me watch this andnit changed me life.
My love of GOOD music/blues was born, i ended up a bass player, i have the framed poster in my Dad room (above my vinyl)
Thank you Jake Thank You Elwood and thank you Mum
Those dodge Monaco’s were one of the heaviest sedans built, I bought a 74 from a Chevy dealership that just wanted it gone..$50 bucks!, drove it home…beat it, jumped it, threw my brother in law into the back seat when we landed of the barn bridge…finally killed it from a frame bending hard landing where it excavated about 400 lbs of dirt into the radiator and bent up both front fenders…good times…sold it to the salvage yard for $200 and kept the brand new battery!
At 5:28 all 3 cars take exactly the same line, missing those bottles by a millimetre or so - precision driving!!
Any entire armada of police couldn't stop them, They were on a mission from God.
1:20 I just realized this entire scene was referenced in Family Guy. Lol.
When I saw this in theaters the crowd was laughing really hard during scenes like this
"that's where they got that Picasso!"
The scene of them going "120" through the city is awesome. I am sure they were not really going 120 but they were moving really fast. The way you can tell is because they put people walking and moving along the sidewalks. Normally if you want to generate the illusion of speed you speed up the footage. This would normally make the people move faster too so most of the time when this is done there are no people so the illusion isn't broken. That way you can truly tell that they are hauling serious ass through the streets of Chicago.
They actuallt WERE going 115 mph.
@@mikek0135 And, it literally does say, "certified" on the speedo-face. All P.I.-versions of the time were marked, tested, certified I'd bet at least each service-schedule. (Which probably was monthly, or more often for a then-"new" cruiser?)
And when the switch to Crown-Vics came about? The only-difference between the "new-used"-inter-city taxi, and a patrol-cruiser was the plaque stating "Police Interceptor" on the right-rear corner of the trunk lid was removed...sometimes..! ☺
They were literally going 120. The roads were NOT closed off.
The motor, we’ve thrown a rod
Is that serious?
Yeap 😂
When this came out.
I bought it on Extended Play Laserdisc. Just so i could frame by frame all the crashes 🤗
... memories
that look they give eachother at 3:19
Aww, you cut it 10 seconds too early. The nazi pinto making a giant pothole was a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the condition of Chicagp city streets. "Potholes big enough to swallow a car" was the locals' description. Anyone from Chicagoland can appreciates that joke.
Amazing how well it stands up.
Pure cinematic glory at its peak. No movie can ever come close to this. NONE!
The best scene of the movie Brothers Soul The chasing highway in Chicago they go 120kmph
4:18
Elwood had that 440 Magnum roaring through the streets of Chicago 💪🏾 #AmericanMuscle
IMO This is #1 car chase out of all movies
That chicago accent kills me 😂 "Ohh nooh, the mootor! I've throon a rad!" Lol
I've always loved you. That was funny.
This movie makes me soooo homesick for Chicago!
