Blues Brothers

anybody here like the blues brothers?

its my third favorite movie.

my favorite scene is the chez paul one where jake and elwood are terrorizing all the rich diners with their bad table manners and of course when jake is saying "how much for your little girl, i want to buy your children, i want your women." "how much for your wife, hahahaha!" i just laugh my head off. and then elwood tosses jake shrimp and he catches it in his mouth. and elwood's expression with the "wrong glass sir". oh its hysterical. peewee herman is the dom perignon waiter too. "we have a 1971 dom perignon at $120 a bottle." "thatll be fine pal."

my second favorite scene of course is everybody needs somebody/sweet home chicago/princess leia in the sewer. "please please dont kill us, you know i love you baby, i wouldnt leave ya, it wasnt my fault, my car had a flat tire, i didnt have enough money for cab fare, my tux didnt come back from the cleaners, an old friend came in from out of town, there was an earthquake, a terrible flood! it wasnt my fault i swear to god!"

then id have to say crashing the mall would be next. "looks like oldsmobile opens early this year." "this mall has everything."

then id say bobs country bunker would be next. "oh weve got both kinds: country AND western." "chikenwire?" "im bob and this is my place." "well its a beautiful place bob!" "hello im jacob stein ::flashes cigarette carton:: may i see your union cards please."

btw...RIP JOHN BELUSHI. short in stature, but never short on laughs.

elwood is my favorite blues brother.

what are your favorite scenes?

I LOVE the Blues Brothers. It's definately in my top 20 film list.

My favourite parts are when Jake and Elwood try to get their band back together:

Jake: "You were the backbone. The nerve centre of a great rhythm and blues band. You can, make that live, breath and jump again. Murph and the Magic tones? Look at you in those candy ass monkey suits. And I thought I had it bad in Joliet."

Another favourite part of mine is where they take off after the show:

Elwood: "It's a 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses."
Jake: "Hit it!"


I've gotta get that movie on DVD...

Only speaking of BB makes the "Everybody need Somebody" start playing inside my head...

"Great... I've just got out from prison... and what does my own brother do... he picks me up with a cop car!"
"You don't like it?"
"No, I don't like it!"
*Wroom*
"She'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?"
"Fix the cigarette lighter."

As a movie: ****
As a good-mood generator: *****+*



Too bad the sequel weren't that good. But oh well, the sequels usually aren't.
Only the scene in the beginning with the Russian mafia was good.

the sequel sucked, so ignore its existance.

YEAH! blues brothers = #1!!! Indy meets the blues brothers:

Anyone remember this? The old one, not the shoddy 2000 version.

Anyways. I enjoyed this movie alot when I was younger. I loved the mall chase scene.


This scene here!

Haha!! Very funny movie with some crazy car action.

And check it out! One of the pursuing cops in that clip is Steven Williams, Mr. X himself from The X-Files.

haha, The Blues Brothers is gotta be one of my favorite movies of all time. It's got the right combination of amazing music (I love jazz/blues), really funny situations and some crazy chase scenes.

I don't think the "2000" version is as bad as some people say but, when compared to the original film, it definitely pales.

i actually went as Elwood Blues for Halloween one year, i kept asking people if they were on a mission from god and singing Rawhide whenever i got the chance.

good times, good times.

No problem. Take yer time.

I LOVE the Blues Brothers. One of my favorite films of all time. I live in Chicago around the area where they filmed it. Which kind of ruins it for me.

For instance, the scene where the cops are chasing them always gets me, because in one shot they're driving down the block right down the street where I live and then the next shot they make a sharp turn and end up in front of Gurnee Mills mall which is about an hour away from my house. The magic of movies.

How did I miss this thread? I love this film, Jake and Elwood are awesome, and don't forgot the Spielberg cameo at the end.

Why Stevie never broke out as a serious actor I'll never understand.

Don't forget he and his oscar were in Austin Powers 3.

For fans of the BB. (if you don't know who they are Spielberg had a cameo in the movie)

that was pretty funny

it was dissappointing that KFC was closed though

I'm wondering if Mads and Boyd's last scene in Dial of Destiny was a reference to this film?
