CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Evading the cops, Jake (John Belushi) and Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) cause a pile-up of dozens of cop cars.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Expanding on their Saturday Night Live characters, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd star as Jake and Elwood Blues, two white boys with black soul. Sporting cool shades and look-alike suits, Jake and Elwood are dispatched on a "mission from God" by their former teacher, Sister Mary Stigmata (Kathleen Freeman). Said mission is to raise $5000 to save an orphanage. In the course of their zany adventures, the Blues Brothers run afoul of neo-Nazi Henry Gibson, perform the theme from Rawhide before the most unruly bar crowd in written history, and lay waste to hundreds of cars on the streets and freeways of Chicago. In case you aren't swept up in the infectuous nuttiness of the brothers Blue, you might have fun spotting film's legion of guest stars, including James Brown, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, John Candy, Carrie Fisher, Steve Lawrence, Twiggy, Paul Reubens (aka Pee-Wee Herman), Frank Oz, and Steven Spielberg.

I love the fact that there’s no music during this ridiculously over the top chase. It works perfectly.

[@juniorzablosky9608]

"that's where they got that Picasso." "Yup." I love how every time these two are in a chase, they always make small talk as if they've been in this situation so many times they're bored with it

[@Mayhem_5555]

Well I have to say, Chicago is a big city and there is alot of cops.

[@raptorjesus3894]

The producers were able to get a lot of cars REAL cheap and most of the time after a stunt like this with a massive crash they salvaged good condition parts from all the wrecked cars to rebuild and reuse some.

[@LPJack02]

RIP and long live John Belushi (January 24, 1949 - March 5, 1982), aged 33 You will always be remembered as a legend.

[@JRC99]

The fact they actually went 120 there is badass. Because one small bump could have sent the stuntman right into quite a few of those supports.

[@robertmorisette8540]

Yeah insane that this was shot in real time

[@lordhumongous371]

Yep. Greatest chase scene in movie history.

[@markbooket6477]

Cars back then could take it and drive away.

[@101Volts]

@Mark Booket Not really. I have pics of a 75 LTD Wagon that got a tree in the front end of the _roof_ after ripping through the hood. The driver was drunk as hell and somehow he survived (this belongs in Ripley's Believe It or Not,) the tree missed him by inches; he fell through the floor (which was ripped out) and his boot was jammed between the frame and tree. If you're wondering "How did it go through the engine block?" It didn't; the car hit the tree starting at the driver-side headlight, and he must have been turning slightly right, because the tree then hit the engine block and ripped the engine off the mounts, twisting the frame, and then finally ending about where the transmission was. The driver, again ridiculously drunk, was probably pinned against the door momentarily before falling through the floor with his right foot stuck between the car frame and tree.

[@jamesozby1420]

Yeah one wrong move at that speed going through a city and it’s a tragic end for those stunt men or anything in their paths!!!! OMG!!! Best chase scene ever!!!

[@vjpearce]

I love how it reads "turn on headlights" before they enter the first tunnel and how El does that seconds later as if still caring for any traffic rules - great little detail :D

[@farzanamughal5933]

[@KingCeee]

🧢

[@jethrod2637]

The best car chase ever filmed imo. The visceral sound of that 440, the sirens, the speed. What a movie.

[@MrWolfSnack]

1:55 Filmmakers actually got permission to drive down Lake -- between trestles supporting the L, no less -- at more than 100 mph. After Landis shot the sequence he realized it looked as if he simply speeded up the film. So he reshot it with stunt pedestrians on the sidewalks so viewers could tell the drivers were, indeed, going that fast.

[@Vladpryde]

I always wondered about that when I heard once that they did 110 MPH through that street scene. Fucking insane!

[@elvismortimer1685]

Best part!!

[@SuperBLACKGP]

That side profile camera angle shot IS THE TRUTH-over 100 mph. Then at the 1:59 mark, the shot of the Bluesmobile speedometer is reading 119 mph. That 5 seconds of sound and video is the one of the craziest and most awesome car chase scenes ever filmed, lol !

[@tylerwedell3750]

Too bad the city only allowed two passes at that speed

[@recnepsgnitnarb6530]

This is not sped up film, they were driving that car at 120mph under the L!

[@whereyat89]

How cool this is to see Wacker drive with only a few cars on it and you can go 100 mph !

[@nikolaimavromatis7995]

whereyat89 very rare is what it is 😂

[@Jay-vc8qk]

Spencer Branting - my favorite part of the scene too, when the camera flashes to the speedometer and realizing they are going 120mph!!

[@lordofbore]

and the car changes gear !

[@Jay-vc8qk]

lordofbore - ahh , never realized that, I just watched it again! How fast do you think that car could go? 150mph?

[@mjspresents]

I love how this is a comedy, but they have a totally legit car chase sequence. Blues Brothers rocks. And look at that, Fast and the Furious -- BEFORE the days of CGI -- NO COMPUTER ANIMATED CARS!!!

[@superlex611]

And both john belushi and dan aykroyd were doing that stunts for hours

[@superlex611]

Yuh Kurose well it is dangerous, ,but you have to make the timing

[@Chenstrapftw]

Just a different era for comedy movies. IMO, at least for non animated comedy films, the art of the gag has more or less been lost. Roughly 3 minutes of a huge car chase at 100MPH+ speeds in Chicago in old wobbly cars from 40 years ago and the entire scene has, effectively, 2 lines of dialogue. Only 1 moment of the scene tries to be hilariously funny, and its the big pile up at the end. But they let the entire scene build up to it. There are some humorous parts of the scene. the picasso line, the few little pile ups, jumping over the police car and shattering the lights, the few "Oh shit" looks as the roar between the bikers and 110 MPH. All of it and they didnt try to force it to be funny. They built suspense and they give you a feeling of "Oh how the fuck are they gonna get out of this one". Even in a movie with so much ridiculousness they just let this pan out somewhat calmly, and the payoff is insane. Compare that to a comedy movie today, the dialogue would be all over the place, there would be a shit ton of jump fucks, and thered be a ridiculous sound track. The zingers they put in wouldnt even be creative. Just some form of expletive or another. Compare that to a ridiculous part of this movie, and what is the one liner/zinger you get? "Disco pants and haircuts". That little bit of subtlety goes a long way IMO, and it shows in a lot of the great comedy movies and moments over the years. Airplane, blazing saddles, spaceballs are all other examples of movies that, while they included their fair share of immature slapstick humor, a good chunk of the laughs came from creative joke telling. Turning a not funny scene into a funny one not by what said, but by what happens on screen.

[@superlex611]

Randolph Chenowth no special effects or cgi

[@aeroair4724]

Fantastic speech, Randolph Chenowth!

[@MTL.911]

2:45 - I love how they didn't even try to hide the fact that there's an obvious ramp right there LOL.

[@grelymolycremp7838]

I think after trashing a few dozen police cars they decided they couldn't re-shoot it.

[@davvvvo]

there is a smaller one at 2:23

[@tubaboy10]

2:17 to 2:19 can even see the shadows of the camera rigs on the Bluesmobile

[@areoborg]

Of course there's a ramp there! Its there for the same reason why the Bluesmobile just jumped over a police car for no reason, and why it kept going right up until they got to their destination... they're on a Mission from God.

[@LITTLE1994]

There's no CGI during those days, so that's inevitable.

[@florjanbrudar692]

Let's face it: the 1980 Blues Brothers is WAY better than the 1998 one!

[@florjanbrudar692]

@@The12thDimension. Why are you threatening me?

[@MrWolfSnack]

00:49 At Monroe, the Bluesmobile races up an exit ramp and vaults a squad car in what Landis called his "favorite stunt.'' Landis wanted the driver to take out the Mars lights on top of the police car, but the driver could only guarantee he could clear the cop car. But after Belushi and Aykroyd each offered him $1,000 ($3,200 each adjusted for inflation), his car ended up launching over the police car AND clipping BOTH Mars lights in one take.

[@ZMan14100]

I could listen to that engine snarl and roar going 120 mph all day

I've heard that they actually got the car up to 110 MPH....which is fucking insane; even for a modern sports car in that type of environment; nevermind an old muscle car like that.

[@MrWolfSnack]

Muscle car? It's a 2 ton sedan with a 440. The engine was multipurposed into muscle cars as well as in the Police Package Monacos, but the Monaco itself was far from a muscle car.

[@Vladpryde]

MrWolfSnack Personally, I think ANY car with a 440 can be a muscle car.

[@boilerhousegarage]

I've never understood how you get such little horsepower (220) from a 440 V8! Is American fuel poor quality or was it emission regs perhaps?

[@101Volts]

@John Gait No, it was a pre-emission car or so they said. I thought cars in America started getting catalytic converters for the 1974 model year (which that Dodge was, a '74) but maybe it wasn't the same for all manufacturers. Cars in America do have reputation for being low on power though, I've heard it's to keep them lasting longer. EDIT: 1975 models are the ones that first got Catalytic Converters.

if you gave a Dodge Monaco Police Interceptor enough room...they would break 140...which is insane for a car that weighs 5100 pounds and has almost zero suspension.The scene under the EL, John Landis claimed they did real time and hit 130 Crazy

[@msattler111]

netrioter Yup....They did that. It was rumored that they took out a couple of those steel girders under the L and paid big time to replace them. They indeed did those shots at speed. The actual Dodge that the bros were driving DID have suspension mods for this scene. And they wrecked about 30 others, not including the police cars intentionally trashed. The budget for this flick was insane.

At 1:51, IMDb says when they shot under the elevated train line, the city of Chicago gave them two passes to shoot that sequence very early on a Sunday morning. Once for the stunt driving wide shots where they legit hit 120mph and then again with pedestrians added and narrowly missing other vehicles. Landis said it was his finest moment in planning and execution.

[@actionjackson9000]

Although this one of the most comical car chases of cinema, it really does reveal how awesome Elwood is at driving, as well as a striking contrast between genuinely good stunt driving and how the filmmakers were trying to parody car chases of the time... 0:35 Compensating for the Dodge's massive weight shift after the slalom, perhaps a bit too much? 0:50 A little help from God 1:20 Elwood makes it through the next turn at this speed and the cops don't because he moves to the outside lane and then cuts over the median to get the best apex for that corner 2:20 The only thing Elwood couldn't avoid before having to turn

[@shawnfulton2479]

At 1:55. My favorite scene in the whole movie. A stuntman is driving that car flat out down a city street in between support columns. No CGI or special effects, just an absolute professional behind the wheel. Does anyone know where in Chicago this was actually shot?

[@whereyat89]

I see the Mcdonalds there. There is a Mcdonalds on Wabash and L train stops on Wabash. I've been there many times. If I had to guess i would say hes driving on Wabash and the L stop is the Randolph/Wabash. There is a street sign in the shot but i cant read it.

[@whereyat89]

I like how the film people didn't just use any streets, they used Wacker and L train streets to give the scene some 'special effects.'

[@mannyzunigazuniga8863]

Looks like Lake Street.

[@PRHILL9696]

Lower wacker drive and lower Michigan ave bridge over the river. As well as under the el train on Wells street back over the river into the Loop again

[@beemo9]

0:34 Impressive that they let them do that shot. I don't even think Belushi has a seat belt on.

[@RkdProduction-b9e]

Did they really driving at high speeds with the mounted camera,if it's true. That's some good driving from aykroyd

[@101Volts]

Nor does Elwood, you can see both belts just moving around. And historically, in the 1970s and early 1980s, who wore seat belts? Few people.

[@thickmanjones3873]

plus the sheer amount of actors as the police, army, and firemen is astonishing

[@CeltHDfifa]

Why don't they make car chases like this anymore?

[@MCO18]

Because filmmakers and studio executives are pussies who are too afraid of anyone getting hurt... even from a paper cut.

[@abramrodriguez3162]

Max Power no probably its cause on the car chase scene in the second blues brothers -when the police got into another Pile -up. One of the Stuntmen Died in the crash while filming.

[@superlex611]

+Abram Rodriguez well, they had safety belts

[@daddyofivearchive5605]

Well, they've switched to CGI and you don't have a lot of lawsuits on your hands to worry about. It still pisses me off to this day, but the 1980s though was the realistic version of GTA 5 if not better. I've read L.A.'s history back in the '80s and there was a LOT and I mean A LOT of DRUG ABUSE and jackoffs in the streets. Also, police brutality was a thing back then and they've attacked different minority groups. Other than all of the negative things, life in L.A. was pretty normal and awesome at the same time. This is usually one of the causes why I wanna re-live the 1980's for myself and experience it.

[@testy462]

Sadly this movie highlights two sounds we may never hear again in Film... the sound of a big block V8 (even if it's a low compression EPA choked one) and the glorious sound of a 4 barrel opening the secondaries (jump out of mall scene).
