    ''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 more 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

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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.
