This movie put retired police cars on the map!

This movie is and will always be one of the greatest movies ever made, and one of my all time favorites
This one and "Airplane!"
Luke Trim a Proper film! 🤗
To this day, people still look at me funny when I tell them this is the greatest musical ever created.
@@rickyricardo4331 because it isnt lol that would be Cannibal the Musical this comes in a very close 2nd tho lol
I seen it when I was a kid and love it to this very day
Here’s some trivia you missed.
There were TWO film companies. Chicago and Los Angeles.
The Palladium theater in Hollywood was used to film the “Mini the moocher” scene with Cab Calloway. This is where the brothers at last convinced the band to do a concert raising the money necessary to save the convent, “just in time” But, the police tracked them down and the brothers skipped out while the band provided cover.
An audience was needed to fill all those theater seats. A local FM station, KMET, offered tickets to see the filming and participate as paid extra’s. My wife and I along with a few of our friends were selected. We were there for two days of filming. Had to wear the same clothes and return to the same seats after each break. It was GREAT!
After day one was in the “can”, Landis allowed those that wanted to stay and watch rehearsals for the next days shoot. We stayed of course and watched the band play several songs; the brothers rehearse the dancing sequences.
During actual filming, with camera's being whisked down the center and side isle's, overhead on tracks, repeatedly. A multitude of audience shots. Reaction shots of clapping, screaming (you get the idea), we were sure to be included in the final edit. Not so fast! While I am certain for ½ a second I see my buddy, I do not see myself or the rest of our friends.
But I can say honestly, I was an extra on the first Blues Buster’s Movie and got to “hang out” with Belushi, Aykroyd, Landis, Cab Calloway, Donald Duck Dun and the rest of the Blues Buster’s band
M.y Aunt's brother is a Special Effects tech on this set. W/ scene credit. He' also is one of the army guys shooting the door near the end, ( he's the one in the foreground holding his head down)
Enjoyed your tale, great movie.
Mission from God fullfilled😇
@@joekurtz8303 Your aunt´s brother? Is that your uncle or your father?
Thanks for sharing. That was choice. Extremely jealous.
That's something to tell the grandkids 😎😎
Blues Buster's? Is that a deliberate typing mistake? Anyway, what a Cool story!
As a person who strongly dislikes musicals plays and musical films, this is the only movie which features musical numbers and I’m able to watch and never get tired of watching. Such a timeless classic! 👍🏼
#Metoo
Elwood: "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... & we're wearing sunglasses".
Jake: "Hit it."
One of the best pieces of dialog in movie history!
Love that line
Back in my world of warcraft days I kicked off one of our raids by opening my mic and saying: "It's 106 meters to Karazan, we have full mana bars, a couple of joints each, It's dark, and we're wearing imaginary helmets."
We were running two 10 mans raids that night so twenty four microphones opened at the same time to reply:"Hit it." I did not expect all of them to get the reference.
LMAO!! That was gonna be my comment. Lucky I read comments before posting. 👿👿
@@From-North-Jersey was never into WoW but that should be up there with the "Leroy Jenkins" incident🤔🤔👍😁👍👌🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Followed by one of the best car chases in history.
This movie definitely is lightning in a bottle. Just the fact that they got all of these music legends, and sharp, comedic timing is an achievement all in itself.
John Wayne's son Ethan Wayne was a stuntman in the movie, look at the credits at the end under stunts, you'll see John E Wayne, Ethan is his middle name but the one he's always gone by, he also played John Wayne's grandson in the movie Big Jake when he was a little boy, so he'd already been in a movie but The Blues Brothers was the first one he did stunt work in, he's also done stunt work in many movies since.
Goddamn, this is my favorite movie of all time. It is timeless and entertaining. You don’t even realize it’s two hours long. I have tshirts, posters on the wall and VHS and DVD versions of it.
@@brantisonfire
Absolutely, I was 15 years old when it came out, the perfect age along with being a fan of the original SNL like so many other kids my age, Aykroyd and Belushi were already like rock stars when this movie hit and the thought of seeing them in an entire movie as the Blues Brothers characters we'd already seen on SNL was the perfect hook for us, I've watched this movie so many times I can recite it line for line yet I still watch it everytime it comes on dish and once a month or so get the DVD out and watch it, pure gold.
" Did you bring me my cheese wiz boy!?"
You should see BB 2000
" Our lady of blessed acceleration, don't fail me now!"
ANOTHER of my favorite lines! Along with "You can't LIE to a nun!"..And...."NO sir, Mayor Daley doesn't dine here anymore. He's DEAD sir."
Fix the cigarette lighter
"It's 106 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."
As a life-long Chicagoan Blues Brothers holds a special place in my heart. I often like to point out exactly where a scene or shot was filmed. Some places have changed dramatically, others look exactly the same.
Greatest Chicago movie EVER!
I do the same. Every time my daughter and I watch it, she hears all about how they are driving in the wrong direction, from Joliet to Calumet City. In the movie, you can see them driving North, towards Chicago. But in reality, they would have had to drive East to get to Calumet City from Joliet. I grew up in Riverdale, by the way.......with only Dolton separating us from Cal City
@@elainehinton6876 - I grew up and lived in Dolton when The Blues Brothers was made. 😀
We have both kinds of music here. Country and Western.

Didn't Carrie Fischer look ADORABLE in that dress and with her hair in pigtails?
♡♡♡♡
She usually looked adorable in that era in anything she wore, hairstyle and/or movie.
@@AstrosElectronicsLab she also was doing more speedball than Belushi
And firing a M16...:)
Oh YEEEEAH!!!
@@alerey4363 Really? How do you know? I knew she was doing a lot of coke(everybody was), but never heard she shot up(speedballing) using a needle. Just where did you get this info?
"We're putting the band back together"
I love that line. It's simple, cryptic, has history, and it was delivered perfectly. It was a quest. It was redemption.
No mam, we're musicians.
😀
A friend of mine actually used that line with me around 1977. He literally said “we’re putting the band back together”. And I fell for it…lol. It was six months of insanity. (We were a country rock band)
Dan also very deliberately wrote this to help out the dying out R&B scene and also all the legendary artists that were going broke. He succeeded in creating a resurgence in the genre and jump starting all their careers again.
Random trivia .... the Australian Blues Brothers Revival Band has been playing for 36 years around Australia, and the Jake Blues character just turned 60, having played the role for the entire 36 years. A bloody legend.
That’s not legendary. It’s boarderline epic (Greek).
Yeah usa here no one cares about you dumb ausies
Yep saw the Australian Blues Brothers Revival Band maybe 10 years ago; fantastic tribute and nailed it.
@@starkiller1248 Oh really? Plenty of people cared when the Bushfires were burning through the country back around Christmas and New Years Day. Maybe you just meant to say that only small minded idiots like YOU, cant care. YOU probably can't find Australia on the world map, let alone spell it or anything else worthwhile, and are lacking in the care and compassion parts of your crappy soul.
My late father's favorite movie. I love the part with Cab Calloway. Miss ya dad.
I’ll always be thankful to the blues brothers for introducing me to the great Sam & Dave, who they listen to every time they play the radio 👍
Favorite exchange: "How often does the train go by?" "So often you won't even notice it"...
One of my favorite lines from this movie. Another one is " the new Oldsmobiles are in early this year".
"Four fried chickens and a coke"
"Do you want chicken wings or legs?"
"Four fried chickens .... and a coke"
"And you?"
"Toast, white dry with nothing on it"

"They look like they're from the CIA, or something!"
One of the best comedies of all time indeed.
RIP Aretha Franklin 😎
Such a class act-then all that talent!
RIP John Candy, Cab Callaway, James Brown, Ray Charles and the Penguin
Wait, Aretha Franklin was a comedian?
She was perfectly cast in this movie. Her music just flowed right into an incredible bit of acting. I wish more people would appreciate this side of her!
They had to dub her music in editing as her style was singing it slightly different each time.
At the end of the movie when they are playing Jail House Rock in prison the first prisoner to jump up on a table and start dancing is Joe Walsh the guitarist from The James Gang, and The Eagles in addition to a successful solo artist.
That was fascinating I'll have to watch it again I miss that...

"No they don't got my address,I falsified my renewal,put down 1060 west addison"

This is second favorite movie of all time, thank you so much for this!
"What kind of music do you usually have here?"
"Oh, we got both kinds. We got Country, and Western."
There IS a bar (or at least there WAS a bar) in Kokomo, Indiana....that I SWEAR HAD TO BE the inspiration for Bob's Country Bunker. Places like that really DO exist.
John Belushi is the only person to ever have a number one movie, number one album, and number one television show at the same time. Number one movie, Animal House, number one album, Briefcase full of Blues, number one TV show, Saturday Night Live. In America. Most people don't know that!
John Belushi was really special....
*cody white* Except for the fact that Minty said the movie was #2.
SNL was never #1 because it was not broadcast in prime time.
You are absolutely right. Now- Do the Blutto Do the Blutto
He also had a very tragic life being addicted to substances and couldn’t help it
A true timeless, classic movie. No matter how many times I watch it, it never gets boring. Forever RIP John belushi, a true legend in his own lifetime and an even bigger one now. I've had my own battle with substance abuse, which cost me 20 years of my life, so I know how hard it is once addiction gets it's claw's into you. Thankfully, unlike many, including friends, I lived to tell the tale. Hard drugs are life destroying, often fatal. Just don't! x
I have seen "The Blues Brothers: about a dozen times. If it is on tv, I will stop and watch it again.
If you have a Chromecast, you can find it online for free on your laptop and forward it to your t.v.. The trick is to find the right site. There are about a dozen sites that offer it for free but make sure you have a good anti-virus / anti-malware because sometimes their sites send out attacks. I have Norton which keeps me safe. The online free versions are the old-school versions that were shown at movie theatres back in the day. Some of the language is really bad though and I don't remember it being so filthy back then, the t.v. versions are definitely cleaner, but t.v. cuts out some important scenes that make the movie flow better. Just a thought.
I saw it 22 times in theatres in 1980. Thankful that VHS videotape came along. A great great movie.
Lineup of some of the greatest musical talent and comedy of a generation. 😊
"This place has everything."
“Lots of space in this mall”

Blues Brothers - one of my all-time favorite movies. Love the tunes, love all the actors, musicians, simply everything!
The best action adventure musical comedy ever made! 😄
Jimmi Woltz that would mean Romeo must die is the second best action adventure music comedy ever made
My fave part of this film is the hair salon titled "curl up and dye"! 😂🤣😂
You think that such was clever?
I once saw a hair salon named "I'm lyeing; I'm dyeing."
:P
I saw one "Hairway to Heaven"
Yeah...that sure was one of the "hits" you got watching that movie. But there were just too many others, that were also good, to count.
Reminds me of a hair salon on Abbott Kinney Blvd in LA that offered 'first haircut half price' or as I would've put it: 'The First Cut is the Cheapest'
My girlfriend at the time lived near The Curl Up and got a little excited when she saw it in the movie. (We were stared at for a few seconds.)
Blues Brothers was absolutely one of my favorite movies growing up, I love all the goofy stunts in that movie and how over the top some of the car crash scenes and stuff are.
My introduction to John Lee Hooker...what a film.
A special feature of the movie
Many of the of the other classic artists commented that the movie revived their careers.
Minty, I've dated people that brought me less joy than you do - especially in the mornings. Everytime I see a notification for a new video it makes my day. You rock, sending much love from the sunshine state.
Wow. You must've dated some real winners. It's hard trying to find someone nowadays. I'm in my mid thirties and it's really tough trying to find someone with depth and substance (who are around my age). You'd think by then, people would've matured so as to perpetuate some level of intellectual profundity. People are so shallow and superficial anymore.
Anyhow, I hope you find someone who can fulfill your innermost and outermost desires. It's rough out there.

...Just timeless!!

So there was actually a time where people actually thought that Steven Spielberg was going to be a Failure...
It's legitimately hard to be THAT wrong...
And yet, somehow, Michael Bay is a success.
@Carl Hopf you want jam or jelly on that toast darlin
@@matsujonen no ma'am, dry white toast
Geesh! You have ONE flop and everybody is singing your swan song. Hollywood people are just so temperamental.
And on a side note, within two years, Spielberg was back on top with Raiders of the Lost Ark, Poltergeist, and E.T. So how's that for being a total failure.
"No sir, Mayor Daley doesn't dine here anymore. He's dead sir.."
The Pope in way was in the movie. There's a poster of him in the home of the landlady when Jake & Elwood was putting the band together.
The pope apparently visited the set and blessed the movie. There are pictures.
"Orange whip? Orange whip? Three Orange whips!"

All time *BEST* film ever! It’s such a classic. These were actually very fun to listen to. 👍
The extended cut is glorious. Gives a little more explanation about the car, but best yet longer music performances 🤘🤘🤘
There's an extended cut!!!??
@@Bluzian74 yeah on bluray. It has like 25 extra minutes of footage. More John Lee Hooker and Cab Calloway, plus backstory of Elwood and Carrie Fisher
And the gas station scene...and interviews...it’s great. I bought it a while ago on DVD. I can still watch it today on my computer.
The Blues Brothers was one hell of a movie and still stands the test of time
I remember going to see this movie in the theater. The first time I watched it in the theater, the audience was singing along and reacting to the what was going on screen.
I have no doubt that theater audiences were screaming at the end of Aretha Franklin's performance.
They did when I saw "The Blues Brothers" in the early 2010s at the Paramount Theater in Oakland.
The Blues Brothers is a classic.
Blues Brothers 2000, not so much, but the music was still great.
BB2K has been described as one of the worst sequels ever made. The music, though...
I file BB200 under Rambo 3
BB2000 sucked with out Jake in it and i thought the role should had gone to John's brother James Belushi instead of john goodman.
@@joelawson3638 i've heard a rumour they tried to get James Belushi for that role but he wasn't available at the time.
I had that album. My father-n-law was a real CPD officer and was part of the last chase, every time it was on with him in the room we had to sit and hear all the old stories again. Best Chicago movie ever!!
I still have Briefcase Full of Blues and their second album Made in America. Used to have the soundtrack on cassette, played it to death.
1941 and The Blues Brothers were two movies we couldn't play enough when I was a kid. We had both on RCA Videodisc. I've got a director's cut off The Blues Brothers that was released in the early 2000's that has the entire 2.5 hour movie. Great scenes explaining the car and an extra music number at Bob's Country Bunker.
My favorite movie to this day! I almost bought the "real" blues mobile in Branson Missouri when I was on my honeymoon, it was 9300.00. Now that I'm divorced I wish I would have bought the car LOL!!!
No you don't. She would have got it. Then you would have to kill her.
Coffinsmoke Lol 😆
Bluesmibile copies are out there. Check out Video Bob here on YT if you want a totally authentic copy. There is a waiting list. But nobody does it better than Bob.
Oh man so many things I could say about this movie. Speaking of Disco, Cab Calloway had the hit song Minnie the Moocher which he first recorded in 1931. However over the years as different musical genres would become popular Calloway would rerecord Minnie the Moocher in the latest hit genre. So in the 70's Calloway was pushing his DISCO version of Minnie the Moocher and that's the version he wanted to put into the movie and it took a lot of convincing by Landis, Akyroyd , Belushi and the Band to get him to do his Big Band version of the song for the movie. Calloway finally relented and the rest is movie history.
The smooth transition to the Cab Calloway Big Band set was incredible. That was a peek at history...with the One and Only Cab Calloway!! Glad they got that on film.
"One unused prophylactic..................... one soiled."
Frank Oz; gold!
"This mall has got everything!"
You're right the mall they filmed that famous chase scene was real. And was in Harvey. But it was not called the "Harvey Mall." It was the Dixie (Square) Mall, shuttered in 1979 and rented by Landis for three weeks to shoot that scene. The mall sat dormant and deteriorated for more than three decades afterward before the State of Illinois finally diverted some money from FEMA funds to demolish it in 2012. Look it up. Lots of videos about the sorry state of that mall right here on TH-cam. Including its final demolition.
Best movie musical ever.
Meh....it’s top 20 but “Willie Wonka” clearly takes #1 in my book...
Willy Wonka, The Blues Brothers, The Wiz.
I sincerely don't understand why people don't like 1941.
I love that movie, I've probably seen it 40 times.
"I'm a bug!" 🐜
I tried to like it, but I failed.
🍊🍊😂🤣
@@gowithgroove I tried to go see it, but something told me that "This is not the movie you're looking for," and I just never got around to it... and then the reviews started pouring in.
Go to the back of the tank! 🤣. Rotsa ruck! So many good quotes!
Its ok I've seen it a couple times.. lol but I'm the same way with Popeye I love it . Must people consider it one of the worse movies
“The movie went way over budget.” Well I would hope so! I would love if a studio executive decided to visit the set and try to reign in the budget ... then saw them crashing dozens of police cars in pile ups, having chase scenes through the middle of shopping malls, watching Carrie Fisher demolish an entire building, and shutting down the middle of Chicago to send the army in ... then quietly backed away and decided to fly back to LA.
I love this movie. Loved it so much, I went to see the Blues Brothers play at Universal Ampitheatre in 1980. Fantastic show and great movie!
I can't believe John Belushi has been dead for forty years.

@I Am The One Who Knocks Hey...38? 40? Who cares??? As we used to say in the military bizz: "Good enough for government work!"
More celebrities than you can shake a stick at including blues musicians.
The role the music played in Rock and Roll evolution cannot be ignored. Between Punk and the The BB, Disco was ushered out and the '80's music scene came to being. The BB played a critical role in this.

@@joekurtz8303 that's cool. Thanks for that
@@krawithan I think I got from IMDB trivia
Chaka Khan was a member of the choir with James Brown in the church scene. There’s one shot of her that’s about 2 seconds.
Another is that the chorister in the 'Think' number is Aretha Franklin's sister Carolyn (she wears the striped shirt and blue short-shorts).
Juliaflo Wow, what other Easter eggs are there???
@@St.Maurice In the concluding number ("Jailhouse Rock"), one of the prisoners is played by Joe Walsh, of The Eagles. If I can think of others, I will let you know. Until then, stay safe, and Juliaflo out.
I also noticed a blonde in the choir despite most the members being African American.
The people playing behind John Lee Hooker in the street are actually Muddy Water's band. HE was supposed to be in the movie but couldnt make it so they got John Lee Hooker instead and let him perform with Muddy Water's band
I read the actual Blues Brothers book while in summer school in driving class in 1981. The book had an extra scene in it, about the band staying the night in a house being built in the suburbs and they blow it up. I was a huge SNL fan and the movie was hilarious for me and I really enjoyed the music to this day. A lot of critics hated Belushi pushing R&B music, thinking he was making fun of it, but he actually pushed the genre and I felt he did a fairly decent job singing most of the songs.
Thanks Minty..worth the wait.. may The Blues Brothers live forever in our hearts.. sad of the reminder of loosing a great actor and comedian John Belushi rest in peace 💚
Wish you had added the scene with the nun wacking the boys with a ruler 😂😂😂😂 cracks me up everytime..
Fun fact - the Ford Pinto wagon that was dropped had to be approved by the FAA. They wanted to make sure it would drop straight down and not fly off somewhere. It did indeed drop like a brick.
They missed a perfect opportunity to make it explode too.

The late pontiff has been canonized and is known as St. John Paul II. Meaning, this one movie was blessed by a literal saint.
While this is true, don't be too impressed with his canonization. It was purely political.
The Right Wing of the Church aren't happy with our new "touchy-feely" nice Pope. So they elevated "their" guy to bolster The Church of Condemnation, Judgment, Chopping the Genitals Off Statues, and Covering For BabyRapers Old Man's Church that THEY like.
Just to play Devil's Advocate (which obviously wasn't done correctly during the canonization), exactly what verifiable miracle did that mean old prick perform to be called "Saint" in my Church?
@@dank8865 The story goes, he healed a nun who had Parkinson's just by his very presence. Whether or not her condition was in remission or flared again is irrelevant, being that Pope Benedict XVI broke protocol (canonization isn't concidered until 5 years after death) due to public pressure to make him a saint.
They were the Blues Brothers, not the Disco Brothers. Glad they won out.
Me and my friend P.F. were extras in the Cab Calloway scene.We mailed for tickets from KLOS got paid nothing but a free lunch.It was filmed at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.
Craft services,snacks and the lunch tent, a godsend during filming🍽🥤🍩
10 Things You Didn't Know About STIR CRAZY(1980)
4 whole fried chickens.
And a coke.
@@Mopsey you got any white bread?
"You want butter or jam on your toast?"
"--No, ma'am, dry."
Y'all want anything to drink with that?
No ma'am.
A coke.
Here's another unknow piece of trivia, when the blues mobile does the jump over the police car and knocks the gumballs off with the tires, Belushi and Ackroyd both told the stuntman they'd each give him 1000 bucks if he could do it, the stuntman did it, only one take....from Chicago here, friend of mine was a police officer worked ng down there at the time
Great trivia!
One of the most bonkers movies ever and though i've seen it endless times and have it on dvd, if it comes on tv i STILL watch it! Love the crazy lines, quips, the brilliant music, and the bonkers choreography like how Jake and Elwood jig around....bloody hilarious!
The moral of the story is dont let Landis use helicopters on set
Right? That coincidence creeped me out. So sad.
3rd time's a charm
Wayne Daly i heard he was friends with Kobe
Very Funny and Sad Too. I feel badly for Vic Morrow, his family and perhaps more importantly the two children that died due to Landis's indifference to safety and just wanting to film a scene.
I also thought that the part of the Twilight Zone Movie with the Vic MOrrow part would have been much better if they were able to complete the Movie. I read somewhere that the Racist Vic MOrrow would be end of the Movie be redeemed from his Racism.
HoldenNY22 ive never seen the movie. Just the part where the people got chopped up.
"Minty's on a mission from God"
See Ya
Yes it's a musical... The greatest musical of all time
I saw it when it came out and 35 years later I rented it to watch with my 2 teenage daughters, it’s a classic
Minty, you forgot one -- the mall that they destroy was a real mall that had been closed for a few years. Dixie Mall in Matteson, Illinois. It was about 20 minutes from where I lived. They dressed the mall for the film, hired extras and off they went on destroying it.
If you are from anywhere around Chicago, it's mandatory that you know this film by heart!!!!
Not from Chicago, by a long way, but had a strange experience there. A friend and I were stuck there in the winter of early '82. We took a taxi to some place and suddenly the road seemed familiar. Not possible. Never been anywhere near it. I told the driver about the situation and he laughed. Said he goes that way and often gets the same reaction. We were on the same road as where part of TBB was filmed. We all got a laugh for that.
They got to return stuff that wasn't destroyed to save money
@@Stackali oops I missed that
I vaguely remember driving by the actual closed mall used in the film . I was living in Sauk Village, Ill. . I was thinking that mall was closer to Calumet City like in Harvey or Dolton ? . Not Matteson . Think it was demolished for a housing development in the 90's . But yeah it was at one time an actual functioning mall . But closed well before the original Blues Brothers movie .
Lincoln Mall was in Matteson. Dixie Square was in Harvey.
The moral of the story is: Don't let John Landis near a helicopter.
too soon
lol
Or Kobe
Brutal!
harsh but true.
OOOOFFFF
Have watched the movie 1000's of times. Never get tired of it.
I was home on leave from the Army when I saw this movie at the theater with my Dad. He passed away just last month and this post helped rekindle another one of the best times Dad and I were able to spend together. For YEARS afterwards there would be many "inside joke" references to the movie between us, like things would be a mission from God (and said the way Dan Akroyd said it), or we'd be going somewhere and he'd point forward as he said, "Hit it!" (Only he and I knew he was wearing a fedora and cheap sunglasses). lol Dad drove a Cadillac for a while and when I asked where it was one time he said he'd traded it for a microphone.
Great movie! Thanks for the video.
You missed the greatest little known fact about The Blues Brothers, John Wayne's son Ethan Wayne was a stuntman in the movie, after his dad died in 1979 his stuntman buddy's got Ethan into the business, The Blues Brothers was the first movie he did stunt work in, check out the credits at the end, under stunts you'll see John E Wayne, Ethan was his middle name and the one he went by, he also played John Wayne's grandson in the movie Big Jake when he was a little boy, so he'd already been in a movie but The Blues Brothers was the first one he did stunt work in.
...Big Jake is a good movie...
...one of John Wayne's better movies...
This is far from the "greatest" little known fact.
it's more like the little known fact that damn near nobody gives a flying fuck about.
John Wayne was a fucking racist fascist nazi and is better off forgotten entirely.

Yeah, I thought this too.
"What are we doing here?"
"You promised you would visit the penguin when you got out"
"Yeah, well I lied"
"You can't lie to a nun. You gotta go in and see her."
"No fucking way."
Excellent Minty. Thanks. Chicago legend: During a break in filming Belushi and Joe Walsh partied hard & subsequently spray painted their blue jeans black, cuz their restaurant of choice had a 'no blue jeans' dress code. Never fact checked, but it sounds totally plausible
I’ve been waiting for this video! 1 of the greatest films EVER! No arguments.
Blues Brothers is so iconic. So many cameos you'd od on them
RIP to all the awesome actors and actresses in this classic...also Matt "Guitar" Murphy...
They had Bluesmobiles parked outside theaters across the nation. I remember seeing one on my way into Seville Square in Kansas City to see this movie. I didn't know what it was yet, and got pictures of it after the movie.
My stepdad loved the movie, and he was white. Every race loves that movie
I remember several years ago they tore down that mall in Harvey Illinois and were auctioning the bricks from the building I wish I could’ve gotten some myself 🥺🥺🥺
Aykroyd has a history of making extremely insane screenplays, for example the original idea for Ghostbusters and the original idea for Ghostbusters 2. And don't forget Nothing But Trouble, the man is an oddball but a fascinating oddball who I feel is my spirit animal/twin.
A bit of perspective on how over budget this movie went. It's final budget was almost $10 million more than the budget of The Empire Strikes Back. Crashing cars is expensive!
All worth it though, this movie is awesome.
