I just don’t have the words to describe how awesome this movie is to folks who haven’t seen it. It’s a must-watch.
- Awesome soundtrack with
- Very many celebrity cameos (including musical performances by Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, others), and some you won’t even notice until you google them
- Funny and bad things happening to Nazis
- Cops looking like fools (to be fair, that’s nearly every movie of this era)
- Folks who would today be magas looking like fools
- Late 70s/Early 80s kinda ribald humor
- Over the top car chases (see OP)
- Carrie Fisher
- An actual mission from God (in the context of the film)
- John Belushi at his best
- Dan motherfucking Aykroyd
- The Blues Brothers
- Almost bizarrely, a positive message of inclusivity and brotherly love.
sorry I forgot it wouldn’t be obvious to everyone.
LOL, sorry I forgot it wouldn’t be obvious to everyone.
This is from the Blues Brothers movie from 1980.
Cops looking like fools (to be fair, that’s nearly every movie of this era)
My favorite scene from that era.
“What is it?”
“A little fly shit.”
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.
sigh I see a Blues Brothers post, I must watch the Blues Brothers. No choice.
I remember watching this movie when I was around 12 years old. Had never heard of it before just started watching it and loved it. It’s It has become one of my top 3 favorite movies. It also introduced me to the world of the blues and some of the best blues musicians/singers.
I remember buying the soundtrack on CD and playing it over and over again. I think I was the only pre-teen that knew of Cab Calloway and could sing “hi-de-ho” .
wow, I was a weird kid
I think I was the only pre-teen that knew of Cab Calloway and could sing “hi-de-ho” .
I thought the same thing at that age, and then my music teacher at the time was like “oh hey fun fact I played Minnie The Moocher with Callaway before he died” and busted out a picture of him with Callaway
He and I both played trumpet so I learned how to play those lines from someone who performed with the legend himself, and Ive always thought that was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done
