Here’s some trivia you missed. There were TWO film companies. Chicago and Los Angeles. The Palladium theater in Hollywood was used to film the “Mini the moocher” scene with Cab Calloway. This is where the brothers at last convinced the band to do a concert raising the money necessary to save the convent, “just in time” But, the police tracked them down and the brothers skipped out while the band provided cover. An audience was needed to fill all those theater seats. A local FM station, KMET, offered tickets to see the filming and participate as paid extra’s. My wife and I along with a few of our friends were selected. We were there for two days of filming. Had to wear the same clothes and return to the same seats after each break. It was GREAT! After day one was in the “can”, Landis allowed those that wanted to stay and watch rehearsals for the next days shoot. We stayed of course and watched the band play several songs; the brothers rehearse the dancing sequences. During actual filming, with camera's being whisked down the center and side isle's, overhead on tracks, repeatedly. A multitude of audience shots. Reaction shots of clapping, screaming (you get the idea), we were sure to be included in the final edit. Not so fast! While I am certain for ½ a second I see my buddy, I do not see myself or the rest of our friends. But I can say honestly, I was an extra on the first Blues Buster’s Movie and got to “hang out” with Belushi, Aykroyd, Landis, Cab Calloway, Donald Duck Dun and the rest of the Blues Buster’s band

If you have a Chromecast, you can find it online for free on your laptop and forward it to your t.v.. The trick is to find the right site. There are about a dozen sites that offer it for free but make sure you have a good anti-virus / anti-malware because sometimes their sites send out attacks. I have Norton which keeps me safe. The online free versions are the old-school versions that were shown at movie theatres back in the day. Some of the language is really bad though and I don't remember it being so filthy back then, the t.v. versions are definitely cleaner, but t.v. cuts out some important scenes that make the movie flow better.

“The movie went way over budget.” Well I would hope so! I would love if a studio executive decided to visit the set and try to reign in the budget ... then saw them crashing dozens of police cars in pile ups, having chase scenes through the middle of shopping malls, watching Carrie Fisher demolish an entire building, and shutting down the middle of Chicago to send the army in ... then quietly backed away and decided to fly back to LA.

"This mall has got everything!" You're right the mall they filmed that famous chase scene was real. And was in Harvey. But it was not called the "Harvey Mall." It was the Dixie (Square) Mall, shuttered in 1979 and rented by Landis for three weeks to shoot that scene. The mall sat dormant and deteriorated for more than three decades afterward before the State of Illinois finally diverted some money from FEMA funds to demolish it in 2012. Look it up. Lots of videos about the sorry state of that mall right here on KZread. Including its final demolition.

@@joelawson3638 i've heard a rumour they tried to get James Belushi for that role but he wasn't available at the time.

Oh man so many things I could say about this movie. Speaking of Disco, Cab Calloway had the hit song Minnie the Moocher which he first recorded in 1931. However over the years as different musical genres would become popular Calloway would rerecord Minnie the Moocher in the latest hit genre. So in the 70's Calloway was pushing his DISCO version of Minnie the Moocher and that's the version he wanted to put into the movie and it took a lot of convincing by Landis, Akyroyd , Belushi and the Band to get him to do his Big Band version of the song for the movie. Calloway finally relented and the rest is movie history.

The smooth transition to the Cab Calloway Big Band set was incredible. That was a peek at history...with the One and Only Cab Calloway!! Glad they got that on film.

While this is true, don't be too impressed with his canonization. It was purely political. The Right Wing of the Church aren't happy with our new "touchy-feely" nice Pope. So they elevated "their" guy to bolster The Church of Condemnation, Judgment, Chopping the Genitals Off Statues, and Covering For BabyRapers Old Man's Church that THEY like. Just to play Devil's Advocate (which obviously wasn't done correctly during the canonization), exactly what verifiable miracle did that mean old prick perform to be called "Saint" in my Church?

Blues Brothers is so iconic. So many cameos you'd od on them

1941 and The Blues Brothers were two movies we couldn't play enough when I was a kid. We had both on RCA Videodisc. I've got a director's cut off The Blues Brothers that was released in the early 2000's that has the entire 2.5 hour movie. Great scenes explaining the car and an extra music number at Bob's Country Bunker.

at 54 years old, this is the one movie i remember seeing at the drive in with my mom and sister and i laughed so hard i had tears and my stomach ached. This is and will always be consider by me ,the funniest movie i've ever seen! My family thought i was crazy but this touched me in such a special way. I even drive a retired police car to this day.

I read the actual Blues Brothers book while in summer school in driving class in 1981. The book had an extra scene in it, about the band staying the night in a house being built in the suburbs and they blow it up. I was a huge SNL fan and the movie was hilarious for me and I really enjoyed the music to this day. A lot of critics hated Belushi pushing R&B music, thinking he was making fun of it, but he actually pushed the genre and I felt he did a fairly decent job singing most of the songs.

They were the Blues Brothers, not the Disco Brothers. Glad they won out.

Met John Belushi at a New Year Eve party, it was the closing night of Winterland in San Francisco. My wife and I were driving home from a party past the Starship mansion there was flood lights out in front. My wife suggested we try to get in (I thought she was nuts) we parked the car walked up to the door rang the bell and somebody let us in. Journey was there, Commander Cody, John Belushi and others we didn’t recognize. After getting a couple of Heinekens from the fridge my wife went over to Belushi (still in his Blues Brother outfit) we had a short conversation he autographed her beer bottle (which we had many years before it took one to many a great fall) and we left.

I love this movie. Loved it so much, I went to see the Blues Brothers play at Universal Ampitheatre in 1980. Fantastic show and great movie!

The Blues Brothers was one of the greatest movies ever made. Great video, thanks!

During a time where electro-pop music was making headway, this movie made traditional blues popular again to many people. 40 years later I am still listening to their albums and repeating movies lines.

My stepdad loved the movie, and he was white. Every race loves that movie

I remember several years ago they tore down that mall in Harvey Illinois and were auctioning the bricks from the building I wish I could’ve gotten some myself 🥺🥺🥺

Minty, you forgot one -- the mall that they destroy was a real mall that had been closed for a few years. Dixie Mall in Matteson, Illinois. It was about 20 minutes from where I lived. They dressed the mall for the film, hired extras and off they went on destroying it. If you are from anywhere around Chicago, it's mandatory that you know this film by heart!!!!

Not from Chicago, by a long way, but had a strange experience there. A friend and I were stuck there in the winter of early '82. We took a taxi to some place and suddenly the road seemed familiar. Not possible. Never been anywhere near it. I told the driver about the situation and he laughed. Said he goes that way and often gets the same reaction. We were on the same road as where part of TBB was filmed. We all got a laugh for that.
