@@randyhutchinson9910 The shopping mall scene came out by accident. John Landis was doing recon, looking for shooting locations, and they came across that shopping mall. It was actually abandoned, went out of business several years before the movie was made. And Landis envisioned the car chase scene right there. So they had to write it into the script, and then get permission to use the mall, as well as permission from the various companies whose stores are seen in the mall. That mall actually stood for another two or three decades, vacant the whole, before it was finally raised about 10 or 12 years ago.
This was the all-time favorite movie for my roommate and me in 1984. When we were in music school we would watch at least a portion of this movie every single day when we would get home from classes! Great memories.
My dad would rent this constantly and mute the TV every time they sweared. He knew down to the millisecond when it was coming. But he still felt it necessary to show this to me. I guess this is why I got bass lessons and bought a Chrysler product with a 440.
This was the first movie i ever "taped" when i got my tv/vcr combo in my room as a kid. I then duct-taped a pair of headphones to the microphone to my karaoke machine, plugged the headphones into the tv, and watched it with surprisingly better audio quality than the tv had on its own.
The scene right after this in Chez Paul with Mister Fabulous is a guaranteed belly laugh for me every time! "How much for the little girl?" LOL. Paul Reubens (Pee Wee) too!
In my opinion, 'The Blues Brothers' was one of the most cosmopolitan movies of the 1980's, infusing jazz, blues, and popular music, with a modicum of diverse performing artists.
The wife loves to watch Christmas vacation every Christmas eve after waffle house. We watch this on memorial day weekend! She quotes her movie and I quote this, verbatim!
This movie taught me three things: 1) I hate Illinois Nazis 2) Never piss off your girlfriend 3) You can get away with anything as long as your on a mission from God
"Me & The Lord...we got an understandin'" ever since I heard that watching this with my Uncle & Dad at eight yrs old (it was their favorite movie) I've had the same understandin'
@Greeniykyk I always liked how Dan Aykroyd who's from 🇨🇦 added a thick Chicago accent to Elwood but John Bulushi who's from IL does not use the same tone, dialect.
The greatest Irish leader that Chicago ever knew. He was always proud of his Southside Irish roots. So here's to his honor, to his memory we'll be true
Murph: till then don't you go changin Then they play the song "Just the way you are" in the background and the first line of that song is "Don't go changing" After watching the blues brothers for many decades I only just picked up on this recently.
Not only would I go to the Armada Room at the Holiday Inn just to hear Murph & the Magic Tones perform, but that rendition of Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" rocks!
I remember laughing at this part when I was a child watching this with my Dad. Lol! Awesome stuff! 0:33. They are trying their best and no one is in the audience barely, yet they keep singing then, I couldn’t understand. Lol! So many memories with this movie.
Saw this ALLTIME classic at the Capri Theatre on Fordham Road, Bronx NY when it first premiered back in '80 and about 30 times since!!!....GOOD Memories!!!...GREAT MOVIE!!!
this is without any doubt the best rendition of "quando quando quando" I've ever heard. " si vuoi dirmi di ssiii divi dirlo perchèè non ha senso per meee la mia viaaa senza teee dime quando tu verai dime quando quando quando e baciando tu verai non te lecheremo mai mai mai quandooooooooOOHHoooOHHH" - thank you Magic Tones you are Marvellous
Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
Hey "@@itwontcomeout5678", do you like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too "New Wave" for my taste. But when SPORTS came out in '83, I think they really came into their own. Commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear crisp sound and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87 Huey released FORE! their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square". A song so catchy most people probably don't listen to the lyrics - but they should. Because its not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself. Hey "itwontcomeout5678" - AAAAARRRRRGGAAA!!!!!!!!!! Try hijacking a Blues Brothers comments section again you F-ing stupid Bastard!!!! AAAARRGGGG!!!! AAAAHHHAAA!!!! *Axe Drop*
I just read the new Blues Brothers book. The stunt director brought several Bluesmobiles to the Chez Paul scene, expecting a few wrecks before they got the scene. One take, never mind, didn't give the driver enough credit. And I love the way the guy just opens the door for Jake.
Fun fact, Murph is the son of Chicago politician George Dunne. In a 1992 interview Murph cheekily said he moved from Chicago to LA because, "I'd done a number of free music festivals in Chicago; one erupted into a riot. I'd also harmed my father's career as much as possible." ;D
I was there that night at the holiday inn. Just got a regular room so I didn’t spend that much. I didn’t understand Spanish when I got a drink so I could really enjoy the Magictones.
The BOYS!!! seen this movie at least 60 times!!! Luv it. I was in college when animal house came out, so U can imagine how wild I was. John Belushi and I would of really got Along well.
Holiday Inn's famous sign with the flashing star at the start - it's a damn shame Holiday Inn cannot bring back that sign! It's the sign of a classic back in the 1970s and 1980s. BTW there was once a Holiday Inn in Elgin just off the I90 tollway on River Road now the Providence Baptist college owned by Northwest Bible Baptist Church in Elgin.
The thing about the exterminators on the sign reminds me of the movie Roadie, which came out a couple years later, where the western swing band Asleep At The Wheel are shown playing at a tire salesmen convention or something like that. Ray Benson, their lead singer says "Who booked this gig?".
I remember vividly Mannheim Rd was under construction to widen it to what we now know to 6 lanes. This Holiday Inn was in Schiller Park, Il. Great memories.
Nothing equals it. Every scene is perfect. It's the most FUN and one of the most genuinely meaningful movies underlying the slapstick comedy I've ever seen...
I for one would most certainly love to pull into a Holiday Inn and catch Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn playing cheezy schmaltz to the patrons. Encores would include Booker T and The MG's tunes and Otis Redding...
I love Jake's look,when Elwood told them,the reason he got locked up in the slammer,for sticking up a gas station to cover you're guys. I mean, just look at Jake's face. I laugh heard all the time on that part.
You see that Holiday Inn marquis as they are driving in...I worked at the Holiday Inn in Somerville MA back in 1980 as 16 year old. I used to climb a ladder to put up those letters...
At the time I disliked all the "product placement" in The Blues Brothers, but now I'm glad the footage of the Holiday Inn neon sign was included. They were iconic and they are all gone now, though some survive at low-performing locations which were sold to independent operators. Painted with a new name and stripped of the neon tubes, most are still recognizable, a few still have the star.
“Oh yeah? Well me and the Lord….. we’ve got an understanding.” I pull this line out every so often. My wife has no clue what it’s from and she hates it.
“Murph and the Magictones? Look at you in those candy-assed monkey suits. And I thought I had it bad in Joliet.” Jake Blues’ sneer enveloped the shag-rug environs of that ritzy restaurant.
Yep, holiday inn on Mannheim road, just south of the airport by the I-294 bridge. I had a few beers there myself back in the day. Lounge is actually quite small, looks much bigger on camera
You got the money you owe us muthafucka?
The way Willie Hall delivers that line so calmly is great
I've long said Alan Rubin was the best actor in the movie. Now that you bring this up, Willie may be the second best.
I just came here to hear him sayin' that line
I just came here to hear hin sayin' that line

@@assignmentearth2899”Oh my God! I thought you got 5 years! Didn’t you say it was 5 years?!”
Giggle, the thought of Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn playing at a Holiday Inn lounge cracks me up.
Kind of a "if things hand turned out differently for them" scene.
That’s a pretty good house band.
Who is Giggle? Unique name
"Thank youuuuu, you're marvelous."
No applause, all legendary musicians, never gets old.
Sad but true. 🤘🎹
Reminds me of the “street musicians” scene in Scrooged. The band is entirely made up of jazz and studio legends.
@ That guy just looked like Miles.
I would go to the Armada room every night to hear these guys.
The parking job in front of the Che Paul was worth the price of admission. Great, great movie.

Almost as good as #Fiddlerontheroof.
The wife loves to watch Christmas vacation every Christmas eve after waffle house. We watch this on memorial day weekend! She quotes her movie and I quote this, verbatim!
"Oh, yeah? Well, me and the lord -- we got an understanding." That's gold, Jerry. Gold.
You'll never get Mr. Fabulous out of that high paying gig. He's pulling down six bills a week.
I just re-watched Seinfeld The Boyfriend episode. Also, Gold, Jerry. GOLD ;)
I love how the valet opens the door for Jake after the Bluesmobile executes a modified parallel parking maneuver.
I'd DO that with that car...
I remember grabbing a drink in one of those Holiday Inn bars a few times on road trips and it looked just like that!

Got to meet Tom Bones Malone he was outstanding at 75 years old still playing his trombone.
"Welcome Exterminators" on the marquee. In 40 years, I never noticed it before :-). Reminds me of Puppet Show & Spinal Tap
"Me & The Lord...we got an understandin'" ever since I heard that watching this with my Uncle & Dad at eight yrs old (it was their favorite movie) I've had the same understandin'
I love how the doorman at the Chez Paul opens the car door like it's the most normal thing to do.
The Peter Gunn Theme in the beginning was perfect. Like they were on a secret mission to track down somebody.
"We're on a mission from Gaad."
@Greeniykyk I always liked how Dan Aykroyd who's from 🇨🇦 added a thick Chicago accent to Elwood but John Bulushi who's from IL does not use the same tone, dialect.

That 180 slide into the parking space gets me every time. That's how you arrive in style.
The stunt director brought several Bluesmobiles to that scene expecting several wrecks and several takes. Nope, one take, perfect.
Murph: till then don't you go changin
Then they play the song "Just the way you are" in the background and the first line of that song is
"Don't go changing"
