The oh so slight hesitation when Elwood says its "ladies night....tonight" is great

That opening scene with the speaker tower, properly laughed out loud when i noticed Elwood with the tool box and some of the band guys coming towards it. Great movie ^^.

Never noticed that!

"You! On the motorcycle". I don't know why that's so funny but it is.

that red-haired kid who gave Aretha Franklin that sign is Aaron Chase. He was my next store neighbor when I was a kid. That was his 15 minutes.

In case anyone is wondering, this "loud-speaker" is actually an old air raid siren made in Canada by Canadian line Manufacturing (CLM). This one doesn't look like it actually works though. I guess it's a stage prop CLM air raid siren. What I'm also scratching my head on is why it's in Chicago when I should be in Canada. But definitely a great choice in my opinion! :)

​@Director HFerreira I'd also wager a stylistic choice. Most of the sirens in the US are either far too big to put on a car, are too small for the visual gag, or produced their sound mechanical and can't be used that way. Whoever selected it did it because it was the biggest monolithic horn they could actually fit on the roof.

What I find interesting is seeing the young kids who are now all in their mid to late 40s. But also looking at the fashions of the time.

Yes I often wonder what became of their lives when I see kids in movies like this. Their 15 minutes of fame.

Elwood: "Tonight only, the fabulous Blues Brothers."

I just hope Ray was in on the upside-down poster gag.

I've watched this movie hundreds of times over the years. I never realized where they got the loudspeaker from. LOL

It was deleted because it didn't make any sense. That tornado siren weighs like 800lbs and is a hundred feet up a pole, and Elwood is walking through a playground with a toolbox to the base of the pole. ...what? How does he get it down? What's the plan here? Loosen some bolts with a wrench that magically remains in your hand instead of instantly slinging to that massive magnet at the back of the speaker? --It's a classic example of why you shouldn't try to explain everything in a movie.
