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.
Don’t forget John Candy
Fuckin’ A how could I forget John Candy? Anyone want an Orange Whip?
“This is car… uh, hey, what car are we?”
“Five. Five.”
“This is car 55… uh, we’re in a truck.”
With almost non stop cartoonish mayhem anarchy ignored by all characters. A superb movie!
What’s the movie?
Thank you for asking this question instead of ripping a fart.
How do you know they’re not multi-tasking?
sigh I see a Blues Brothers post, I must watch the Blues Brothers. No choice.
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.
Sweet mother of blessed acceleration don’t fail me now.
