Belushi was literally americas houseguest. He would wander off set and the filmmakers would get a call “hey uhhh John Belushi is sleeping on our couch. Here’s my address.”
This is one of those movies where I can watch a 1 minute clip of it and somehow end up with the *entire* movie replaying through my head. Everything about this movie was amazing. The music, the car chase, the entire premise.
Same! It's one of the few just feel good and have fun movies that doesn't pander to corporate music industry. It highlights some of the greatest and most influential artists. I want more of it but there is no way to recreate that magic.
The movie brought me closer to Blues. 30 years later I finally followed up a long-held dream and bought me a saxophone just so I could jam a few notes every now and then.
For anyone who hasn’t seen this movie, you must watch it. Best SNL movie ever made. Some of the best music and musicians the world has ever known. Just enjoy it all and don’t take anything seriously.
I saw it way too late and I feel it didn't quite land for me the way it should have. I wasn't blown away by the movie as a whole and I was a little disappointed I didn't fall in love with it like my friends all did. But hoo boy, that chase scene at the end was something else.
It held the record for most destroyed cars in a movie for a while at 104. It still holds the record for most cop cars destroyed in a chase I believe, at 60!
God as my witness if they (Disney probably) CGI or “Hologram” John Belushi I’ll make whoever came up with that play Blues Brothers 2000 for the N64 to completion and everyone else is gonna have to watch.
Blues Brothers: back from the Beyond. Jake is resurrected by the penguin for a new holy mission from God. Elwood just looks fucking confused through the entire trip.
You mean best movie of all time Blues Brothers 2000? Movie we stan as a testament to man’s hubris Blues Brother’s 2000? The only thing standing between us and Pluto Nash Blues Brothers 2000? That Blues Brothers 2000?

Does this movie still hold the record for most cars wrecked in a movie?

Sadly, it doesn't even make the top 10 anymore. It was at 104 and the lowest in the top 10 now is 130. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/movies/here-are-10-movies-destroyed-most-cars

Sad...those movies are smashing the same cars over and over for different takes. I thought Blues Brothers had the most wrecked on screen.

Blues Brothers does hold the record of largest pile up in a move with 50 cars.
