One of my favorite memories was I had some millennial friends who were musicians who one night I found out they had never seen this movie. I instantly declared a movie night with beers and I invited them over to watch. Seeing them in SHOCK over how many INSANELY talented people were in this was so worth it. This is a capsule of great music and of a changing time in America. The gritty Chicago was going away and we lost something. Now with so many of the artists gone it's even more special. This movie also saved Carrie Fisher's life. At the time she was addicted and was extremely unreliable. Carrie would credit Dan not only for keeping her on but for encouraging her to get help.

@NATIVESUNSETS65 2 года назад

The music in this movie is some of the best used in a Film ever . Even the background music Sam and Dave , Peter Gunn Theme , Ride of The Valkyries , I Can't Turn You Loose ( Mall chase ) but the John Lee Hooker scene is my favorite with the Haw haw haw haws . ZZ Tops Billy Gibbons Haw Haw Haws in La Grange is a tribute to John . I seen The Breifcase full of blues tour at Winterland in San Francisco New Years Eve 1978 with many of the musicians in the movie playing in the band and Aykroyd and Belushi were great Cartwheels and all.

About 15 yrs ago I had the privilege of meeting a man who did special effects on this, and many other, big movies/ TV series. He said that this was his favorite movie to have worked on, because everyone on set was treated like they were important. there was no separation between actors and crew, stars and b-listers. when Dan and John threw parties, etc., everyone was welcome. Always thought that was a great way to remember this film, and the people involved.

A few bits of trivia: When they were driving through Chicago towards the end, they were actually doing that at speed. It wasn't sped up footage. In fact, they did it twice. The first time they cleared the streets, but then they realized that without having bystanders in the scene, most people wouldn't realize that they were really driving that fast, so they shot it again with people so that everyone would realize that the stunt drivers had actually driven in those streets at that speed. When this film came out, both Aretha Franklin's and James Brown's careers had pretty much gone dead (Think Steely Dan's "Hey Nineteen" with the line "She don't remember Aretha Franklin"). This movie revived both of their careers. Aretha Franklin said that she was always grateful for this movie because of that. And another small cameo. The first prisoner to jump on the table and dance during "Jailhouse Rock" was Joe Walsh.

@techman2553 2 года назад

I love that scene. With all of the "high speed" car chases in modern movies where they are zig-zagging and cornering at an incredible 30 or 40 mph with tires squealing to suspenseful music, to actually see a car fly through the streets of Chicago at 118 mph for real is sooo much more impactful !!

@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer 2 года назад

The city of Chicago and the state of IL got fleets of new cars as part of this movie deal. Some of the drivers in the chase scenes were police driving their own cars to fill up the scene. My dad was a state trooper at the time and got a new car when his was used.

The mucians all have a lot of credits. Cab Calliway had seriously insane dancers who performed with his band see the dance compilation version of Bruno Mars' Uptown Funk. They jump off the top of stairs and land in splits. Insane. "The royal, 'Y'all.'" LOL

@roderickstrong9298 2 года назад

I'm from Chicago and when I saw this movie back in the 80's, I was more in love with the fact that Chicago was well represented in this movie and like you both said, the city was a character in the movie as much as the cast, so it holds a special place for me. I actually lived pretty close to that mall that they crashed into, so that's another plus for me. 🤣

@kathyastrom1315 2 года назад

This movie is more nostalgia for me moreso than entertainment. It's good for what it was, but at the time I saw it, at the theater in the 80's I was more focused on picking out the locale and the Chicago references than I was with the story. When I watch it now, I just like to see all those old places that I remember, especially the places that are no longer standing, and watching the musical performances. I liked that Matt and Emily watched the extended version of the movie because most of the musical performances were longer than the theatrical cut and that scene where they stored their car wasn't in that version either. Not a top Landis film, but good nonetheless.

The band were touring and session musicians, and top of the line ones at that. Blues Bothers Live in Winterland is on youtube and well worth watching. They destroyed 103 cars in this film.

Not sure of who doesn’t know this but John Belushi was suppose to be in Ghost Busters but sadly he passed away and they replaced him with Bill Murray. You can also see the effects of his death on Akroyds body. He was so skinny in this and then shortly after is Ghost Busters and he gained a lot of weight. I assume it had to do with the grief and probably depression eating or such.

This is such a comfort film for me!! I love every second and it’s lowkey responsible for my love of blues music as an adult because I watched this film so many times as a kid 😅 so fun to watch you guys, as always ❤️

Just watched The Blues Brothers last night. Perfect timing. R.I.P. John Belushi.

I appreciate that you both give your honest opinions of each film, I would not want you to give a phony rating. Of course you're entirely wrong int this case 🙂 The humor works for me and the music is to die for (most of these artists are now gone so that's probably an unfortunate phrase to use). Yes there are plot holes and some are worse than others but it's all in good fun.

And the number of cars they destroyed to make this movie is phenomenal,It's just a classic comedy with a large number of big name stars in it.I loved this movie then and now.

The guy with the perfect haircut is legendary guitarist Steve Cropper, and the "if the shit fits" guy was his long-time colleague, the equally legendary Donald "Duck" Dunn. Together they were 50% of Booker T. & The MG's, and were part of STAX's house band. As a Blues Brothers fan back in the early 1980s, it blew my mind that Cropper and Dunn were even listed in the ancient music lexicon in my very conservative European school's library.

I went out with Steve Cropper's niece a couple of times back in high school. She was a redhead too.

The "Peter Gunn" theme, classic blues, and Cab Calloway!

My favorite number here is Ray Charles. Such an iconic scene, between the amazing music and such fun choreography! The group Hanson did a great tribute to the song in their video for “Thinking ‘Bout Sonething,” which is a catchy tune.

@MrAdamloring1985 2 года назад

That’s my favorite song in the movie. Because the legendary Donald “Duck” Dunn, is laying down a fat baseline.

@graht1 2 года назад

I have never heard of "Thinking 'Bout Something" before today, and I love it. Thank you!

@CinHotlanta 2 года назад

Agreed - the scene in Ray's Music and through the capper after the song is for me the centerpiece of the whole movie.

@huskerchuck9212 Год назад

Thank you! I just discovered Hanson because of your comment. That was a fun song and an awesome tribute! :)

I had a boyfriend in the 80's that had the 8-track from this movie. He played it constantly & I liked it BUT didn't see the movie for a few more years. THEN I Loved it all!

The main appeal of Blues Brothers is the A-list blues musician cameos. Blues Brothers 2000 wasn't as good, but the cameos there are top-tier as well, especially the Louisiana Gator Boys.

The car chases could be tighter, especially the later ones but I still love it. The best gag will always be Ray hanging the poster upside down.

Fun fact: This film set the record for most cars destroyed in a movie production, with 103 cars destroyed. That record stood for 18 years, when it was exceeded by the sequel film "Blues Brothers 2000", during which 104 cars were destroyed.

The ultimate cocaine movie. That has multiple meanings in this case. The penguin was played by the great Kathleen Freeman. She had a long career as a character actress and was in anything worth watching over some fifty years or so. Look her up and keep an eye out for her, she’s rather spectacular. She shopped at the Pier One I worked at back in the ‘90s and she seemed like a sweetheart. 🥰

@lylewilson5576 2 года назад

She truly was. I house managed the original production of "The Full Monty" at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego (it later went on to Broadway the same year as the Producers). She was in the show as the piano player, and was absolutely wonderful.

She worked with Jerry Lewis on a bunch of his productions.

The Dixie Square Mall in Harvey, Illinois is the mall they destroyed. It had gone under about a year prior, but was still largely intact. When they dressed it for the movie, they put in a bunch of stores that had never been there when the mall was open, like the Jewel grocery store. Reportedly the film company left the place partially destroyed, but it didn't matter because they were never able to anything with the building again. The area had changed radically economically and demographically. The place sat there decades slowly decaying, and was legendary among urban explorers and dead mall fans. The remains of it were finally demolished about 5 or 10 years ago.
