The music in this movie is amazing and can we give a shout out to Cab Calloway who always seems to be forgotten when people talk about the Blues Brothers. His version of “Minnie the Moocher” is outstanding. I was a teacher and I had my class do the response in the call and response part of the Song which they loved but annoyed the other classes. I was the fun teacher all the kids wanted.

[@briwanderz]

very much agree about Cab Calloway. also, thanks for being the fun teacher for those kids, it can make a huge difference in someone's life, which also effects others around them too.

[@28russ]

Another what woulda been an unfun fact is that Calloway had recently done a disco version of “Minnie the Moocher” that he wanted to perform on the film but thankfully Bluesier heads prevailed and he was convinced to do the classic version. Thank God😉🙂 The movie was almost tainted with this horrendous version 😬🤦‍♂kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2K2npKIn76CpLMsi=jhJMieDxSVjf8o_4

We wrote a memo to that effect on 84th Chemical Battalion letterhead and sent it to the movie studio. We never heard back from them, but it was a fun memory.

James Brown, John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles, Cab Calloway , Matt "Guitar" Murphy, Donald "Duck" Dunn, Steve "The Colonel" Cropper all got a lot of recognition thanks to the movie.

This movie is also essentially a gateway drug for musicals. I know a bunch of people who were introduced to movie musicals through it, myself included.

[@dukecraig2402]

Here's 2 fun facts about The Blues Brothers; #1, John Wayne's son Ethan Wayne was a stuntman in it, look at the credits at the end, under "stunts" you'll see John E Wayne (Ethan was his middle name, as there was already a John around the house he grew up being called by his middle name). #2 Sissy Spacek is also in the movie, when she was filming Coal Miners Daughter they were on the next sound stage over from the one that they were filming the interior scenes of Bobs Country Bunker in, being a fan of Aykroyd and Belushi when she heard they were in the next sound stage one day after filming scenes for her movie she went next door as an extra so she could watch them perform the theme from Rawhide and Stand By Your Man.

[@brainlock72]

Wayne was born Marion Morrison. So all them kids go by fake names. Cuzn Marion can also go kick rocks, as his whole career is built on stolen identities/mannerisms of the REAL cowboys he worked with early in his career.

Minty, I was hoping you would do the Blues Brothers! James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Cab Calloway and John Lee Hooker's careers were all considered dead by this point, a shadow of their former popularity. They were performing to minimal audiences in tiny venues. The decision to stick to the original vision and demand all of them to appear in the movie completely resurrected their careers. They all became in-demand acts again, selling out huge venues and selling more records than they ever had before.

I was 7 when it came out. My music teacher was a big blues guy. My dad took us to see it; I think it was rated R. Anyway, to this day it's one of my favorite movies. I have it both on digital and DVD. The digital version has a few scenes I didn't remember like them parking the car in a garage in the alley. The scene at the end in Chicago was done by both ANG and the local chapters of the MVCC (now the MVPA) military vehicle collectors club. Just a great movie.

'Stein, You're gonna look pretty funny tryna eat corn on the cob with no FCUKIN' TEEEETH" Charles Napier didn't have a huge part in The Blues Brothers but every appearance was gold😂 The Dixie Square Mall which got used for the mall scene was left badly damaged after filming but Landis and Universal didn't seem to care. The place became dilapidated and was soon being used for various nefarious activities and apparently a murder took place there as well.

More than enough to some day do a 10 More Things. Also , Aside from both of the mentioned books , I have a set of blueprints for the mall used in the film , as well as a floor tile with tire marks from the mall. (A gift from a friend that did a documentary on the mall. ) And , I made a full custom soundtrack for the film. Every song used in order with dialogue between each track. And a version of the OST with all 11 songs done by the original artists. I am a HUGE Nerd for this film ! Oh , and if you have trouble finding a copy of the novelization , let me know. If you would actually read it , I think I could help ya find a copy. (Let's just say I have been collecting novelizations since I was about 11. Halloween was my first.) Keep the vid's comin Brother!!

Story-time; there's a long-standing legend in my family about John Belushi. Specifically, the story goes that my great-grandmother, who lived in the same neighborhood as the Belushi-brothers, used to drive them to their Sunday-school-classes when they were little kids. I like to think that it's true, and that she had a positive effect on some small part of his life, since she was always such a sweet lady. (At least as long as I knew her.) =)

One item of interest is that the scene outside of Ray's store was supposed to be taking place on a hot summer's day, with everyone dressed in light summer clothing. In reality, it was a very cold, windy day and everyone was freezing!

The pope actually was studying to be an actor before he became a priest. He had a very interesting life.

His roommate was Polish science fiction writer Stanislaw Lem (best known for Solaris). The two would often debate theology.

Even Mr.T made an uncredited part in the film as part of the crowd running around Chicago.

As did Phil Avery (Uncle Phil), he was a dancer in background in the Ray Charles scene.
