When I was in university there were 2 movies that we watched over and over. Animal House and the Blues Brothers. To the point we all knew each line before it occurred.
Thanks for the "what's there now" shots. When I visited the Chicago area in 2013, I drove through Mt. Prospect, but didn't have time to stop and see if any old police cars were for sale. And I drove on a short stretch of "Illinois Highway Four Seven" going to the railway museum in Union. In downtown, I visited the plaza with "Picasso's Puppy Dog". At the local hardware store, if I go by the poultry netting display, I'll say "Chicken wire?!?!?" and in the adhesives section it's "This is glue. Strong stuff!" My wife thinks I've seen the Blues Brothers movie once too often.....

It was September, 1979. I had just graduated from basic training at Great Lakes. A buddy of mine and I went on leave into Chicago. We happened upon a large, severe pileup of police cars under the Loop, just off the train. I was thinking, "shit! This is Chicago?" We inquired and a cop on site told us they're making a movie. "What's the movie." I asked. "The Blues Brothers!" He said.
I just want to know how they got permission to do the shot. Like, they could've taken out half of Chicago's public transportation if they had hit a pillar.
Excellent video. The Blues Brothers is one of my favourite films and got me into listening to the blues and soul. It's a shame it's not all still there. Thank you for sharing.
AWESOME tribute to one of my all-time favorite movies! I love how you used songs and sound clips from the film while actually being able to re-enact some of the iconic camera shots!
I live about 2 minutes from the funeral home and I remember seeing a bluesmobile driving around the neighborhood. the video is really cool thanks for sharing it.
My Dad used to work at Dundee Cement Co and watched them film the bridge jump - he even met the stuntmen who performed it. Still one of my all time favorite movies. Great vid!
Ahhhh, I just loved this. But so sad that the entire area around the Soul Food Cafe is no more. However, it lives on in this movie, which is one of my all-time favorites!
This is one of the most well thought-out TH-cam videos I've ever seen. I love that you let the music and the background noise be the tour guide. Well done!
By today's standards, "The Blues Brothers" is a period film. Not sure, but I think it is in the national archives where it will live in forever. I watch it once a year. Classic. Thanks for the tour.
we visited almost all those locations in chicago when me and my husband went. hes a huge BB fan, so naturally he cried when we visited chicago because this was his ultimate boyhood movie. he wants a blues mobile too lol. his father said he worn out 2 copies of that movie when he was a kid. one on beta and one on vhs lol. he knows that movie forwards and backwards. He also knows ALOT of BB trivia
Kristen Tamez I saw this movie as a 10 year old in 1989. Was the best movie I had ever seen and it’s still right up there. Glad your hubby got to visit Chicago. 👍
It's got a cop motor, a four hundred and forty cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks, it was a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. Whaddya say? Is it the new Blues Mobile or what?
Franz Liszt When my husband and I were first dating, he drove an ‘88 Grand Fury that was an old cop car. We riffed off this line all the time because it still had the cop wheels, cop suspension, cop shocks, and all that. It also had a Big Boss 4-barrel under the hood, so it kicked ass when you floored it! Unfortunately, that also meant the car was a pig at the gas pump-we joked that you could practically watch the speedometer go up and the gas gauge go down at the same time. Now I drive an old fire department utility vehicle that I got from a friend who bought it at a firehouse auction and fixed it up. The fire department logo is gone, but it still has the screaming red paint job and the Scotchlite striping, so it gets mistaken for a utility vehicle from one of the neighboring departments all the time by our paid drivers at first. The 4-wheel drive comes in handy in bad weather or having to turn off the paved road (a common occurrence in our part of the state), but having 8 cylinders under the hood means “Big Red” has the same appetite, gas-wise. Still fun to drive though, especially since I’m a volunteer firefighter in our local community!
My son (born 1999) was with me as we visited Chicago last summer. We had to get back out to the suburbs and were driving through the Loop toward Congress Parkway, then the Eisenhower Expressway. We saw a sign for Lower Wacker Drive, looked at each other, and started laughing. We had to take it!
Thank you so much, Sir! For endless months we went to the cinema every time this was on the program and watched it. Easily 50 times - it is one of my best memories and one of the few I can return to, without pain.
Thank you for this comprehensive and good video. I was fortunate to be a 18 year old projectionist at a large Kansas City 5 plex Theater when BBrothers was released. I’m sure I must have watched it top to bottom over a hundred times and dozens of times since then!! My God, I couldn’t even count how many automotive hijinks that movie inspired myself and my gear-head automotive obsessed Mopar buddies at that incredibly fun period of my life. Thank you Saturday Night Live for giving birth to such a fun concept!
The Bob's Country Bunker sequence was a great representation of the small California town I grew up in. Every line, every shot... everything from the ''both kinds of music'' line to the guy crying in his beer shot. Light blue corduroy bellbottoms with cowboy boots, plaid shirts, padded ski vests and ballcaps. And their attitude towards anything that WASN'T country/western related. Whoever wrote this part did their research. My buddies and me laughed all the way through it.
Dan Aykroyd sure knew how to make long-lasting comedies that just imprinted themselves on our minds! Just wish he'd had a hand in writing the new Ghostbusters film!
So cool to see the Bluesmobile cruising around. So many stars now gone in the last 40 years. John Belushi, the crazy, mad, coked-upped, comedy genius. Taken far far too soon. Forever young, forever funny.
As of 2019, the old Joliet State Prison is undergoing a face lift, clean up, and some renovations. There are plans to convert it into a tourism spot, a music venue, and dining destination. The property is much cleaner than it was in 2017. There are guided tours available for it during the summer.
Thank you so much for this treat!!! I grew up not far from the Nelson Funeral home.. .. always loved going thru the intersection.. lived by the Kennedy expressway.. where they shot a scene from the movie also .. my family watched it be filmed at 4 am .. I had to be in bed
When my sister & I were in Chicago last fall we were in Park Ridge driving through the area where they filmed the Blues Brothers especially where the funeral home & gas station were, I mentioned it to her and she was like wow, she didn't know that but from watching the movie numerous times you end up finding out different things here and there & that was one of those things
The Marquette interchange over Water Street is still there just remodeled. The Hwy 794 ramp which was only partially completed when the movie was filmed. This was the overpass where the pinto wagon jumped off. In the early 2000's the ramp was completed give access to the crosstown boulevard.
The scene I remember best is that panning shot of them ripping past on Wacker Drive at 100+mph! This movie was a classic the moment it hit the theatres!
Awesome--that exact replica POV shot of the greasy drawbridge gears is when I knew you were serious. (Blues tapes; soul tapes; gospel tapes; cassette tapes....)
Awesome job! Thanks for the memories. I remember driving around downtown, punching it in my 74 Buick Century that made the same sound and driving over the grating on the bridges!
Chicago native here, Blues Brothers fanatic as well, I have some pictures of Dixie Square about a year before they tore it down, I'll have to dig them up, if u want copies let me know, good video
Hi, thanks for your offer! I've collected lots of pics from the net, but I wish I had a chance to go through. Sad story, there are also some vids on youtube about it.
It's now the Quality Inn O'Hare Airport. You'll find it on Google street view, but it looks quite different. I wanted to visit it but had too much trouble with the rental car company at the airport wasting too much time.
Thank you for all of the work you put into this, an awesome revisit of a GREAT MOVIE!!!!!!! I feel like it was just yesterday I was introduced to Jake and Elwood Blues........”The Bluueeess Brothers!!!! I only “love two shows #1 Blues Brothers and #2 the play Fiddler On the Roof (as a stage show) saw original cast whe I was young and got to meet Zero Mostel and all the original cast! I do wish that BB #2 would have been just like #1 but without John ...... Rest In Peace
12barde True that!!! I’d just hope it’s done with the same class as the first. It’s not that I didn’t like the second...... but... ehhhh. John Goodman, bless his heart, tried tooo hard...
I grew up in Dolton, and I kinda remember these places, but I know this where I came from. Its been about 45 years since I was anywhere close to this area. My mom and dad watched them wreck the mall....LOL
Great video. Especially all the small references to the movie, the dialog samples and music (they had that fat, juicy sound) in contrast to the USA of today. And of course you cannot visit the mall. It was destroyed by the BB and the hotel was blown up by Carrie Fisher.
I was a child of nine when they filmed this i lived off the Dan Ryan express near the bank building only blocks from Chinatown if my memory serves. This was really neat to see thanks for sharing.
I live in Chicago! And is funny that i've driven through a lot of those places and been in many of those areas, and never given it many thoughts! Nice job on tve video!✌😎👍
I use to go to the old flea market there by Maxwell St. as a kid. Where they filmed the soul food scene. Had been rebuilt over with University dorms and buildings:(
@@12barde If my steps someday direct me to Wacker Drive, I will still avoid the Lower Wacker portion like the plague because carjackers, pickpockets and robbers inhabit the place I've been told.
Lol 👌 Passed through Chicago on the Amtrak in '87 ~ made a POINT of standing in the spot the Blues Mobile broke down in 😎 grinned to pass by Joliet n' find ELWOOD is a little town touching borders ... 👏 ℹ applaud this video
I took my girlfriend, now wife to the State of Illinois Building back in 1997, she had to get copies of custody papers, her ex was pulling some BS. When we walked in, it still looked just like it did in the movie, even the front desk was still there. Felt pretty cool to be in the same place they were...
I'm bummed no pics from Wauconda & Phils beach #blackpanther. Or Rt12 & 176, where the big crash scene took place. My bro & I where coming home on 176, when they stopped us as they were filming. Driving past the wrecked cars we were like WTF? until the movie.

My all time favorite.

It was September, 1979. I had just graduated from basic training at Great Lakes. A buddy of mine and I went on leave into Chicago. We happened upon a large, severe pileup of police cars under the Loop, just off the train. I was thinking, "shit! This is Chicago?" We inquired and a cop on site told us they're making a movie.
"What's the movie." I asked.
"The Blues Brothers!" He said.
Wow - I wish I was there during the making. We don't get this kind of movies anymore...
I was at Great Lakes most of 1980 going into 1981 and folks were still talking about it!
What a wonderful memory and useful bit of history. Thank you.
I just want to know how they got permission to do the shot. Like, they could've taken out half of Chicago's public transportation if they had hit a pillar.
@@jedispartan ; the Mayor was quite a fan, so, she was happy to allow city streets to be taken over for a movie.
Excellent video. The Blues Brothers is one of my favourite films and got me into listening to the blues and soul. It's a shame it's not all still there. Thank you for sharing.

That 8 track player shoved into the dash is a nice touch. F’ing classic dude!
I was thinking the same thing when I saw the 8-track. Awesome attention to detail.
I live about 2 minutes from the funeral home and I remember seeing a bluesmobile driving around the neighborhood. the video is really cool thanks for sharing it.

Ahhhh, I just loved this. But so sad that the entire area around the Soul Food Cafe is no more. However, it lives on in this movie, which is one of my all-time favorites!
Enjoyed watching this thanks for posting this and all your hard work tracking down those locations of a absolute classic film.
Thanks! :)
My favorite movie!! Thanks for showing it to me dad!
This was the best! Favorite movie of all time. Thanks for doing this .
Fantastic!! I got back from Chicago yesterday, visited Joliet while there, dream come true!! Rock on from the UK :)
