Not sure if you fellas caught it, but that government worker who finally accepted the $5000 was played by none other than Steven Spielberg himself. And the prison worker who checks Jake out of jail at the very start was played by Frank Oz (the voice of Yoda and Miss Piggy). The cast in this movie is truly insane.

Neat fact about the mall chase scene. That mall was actually scheduled for demolition so the studio asked if they could just trash the damn place for a car chase scene and the people that owned the property were like, "Go nuts".

[@shioriryukaze]

And nuts they did go...lol

[@davidw7]

As Corporate America did... they just abandoned their huge Mills across the Rust-Belt and this Mall was just another fail for another reason. THIS MALL STOOD YET FOR ANOTHER 30 YEARS DECAYING and filled with Asbestos and was only torn down in (2012) using $4 million in disaster relief funds given to the state of Illinois after Hurricane Ike. The former- 800,000 sq/ft Dixie Mall in Harvey, IL (ALREADY BACK THEN ALREADY became a poverty-stricken and blighted suburb 20 mile south of Chicago with White-Flight). The Mall was closed by shoplifting and even theft of merchandise by employees. (We think all this kind of stuff is new today). The former Dixie Mall had 4 anchor stores (Montgomery Ward, JCPenney, Woolworth, Walgreens, and Jewel Supermarket) and 60 others. It was only open a lucky 13 yrs before closed only a year before being used for this movie in 1978 (the developer opened a competing mall in a nearby suburb after abandoning this mall). Universal Studios bought the rights to film in the closed mall and PAID - $12,500 for the right to film inside and filled the parking lots with 700 new cars. They built 30 elaborate storefronts for Jake and Elwood to drive through. Locals thought the mall was literally to reopen and it was stocked a couple hundred thousands of $$$ of items on its shelves. They had to hire guards to guard the guards who were stealing goods before filming (and we think things are bad today.....

[@ebashford5334]

A similar thing happened with a Burt Lancaster movie "The Train" using an old train yard that was to be demolished in real life, but in the movie it was a bombing raid destroying the train yard. Some of the old steam trains themselves were decommisioned and featured epic collisions and derailments. No CGI can match the full-scale explosions and actual destruction.

[@basinstreetdesign5206]

The producers asked the retailers to furnish the store material and to take back anything that wasn't damaged. The producers paid for the rest.

[@danawitta9739]

@BasinStreet Design a school district was using the mall as a temporary school. When the movie destroyed parts of the mall, the school district sued them, so there was a least a misunderstanding between the film producers and the local community.

[@Harv72b]

An interesting thing to come out of this movie: in order to film part of the scene where the "Illinois Nazis" car flies to its demise off the unfinished highway ramp, they had to drop the car from a helicopter hovering more than 1,000 feet above the ground. However, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) doesn't just let you go dropping heavy objects at random across the countryside: they require an airworthiness certificate before you can do it, which in turn required the filmmakers to drop _another_ Ford Pinto from the same height prior to filming, so measurements could be taken to ensure that the car wasn't "too aerodynamic" (making it too difficult to predict its landing spot). In other words, thanks to the Blues Brothers, the federal US government now has paperwork on file as to the airworthiness of a Ford Pinto. 🤣

11:55 Jewel is one of the prominent grocery store chains in the Chicagoland area. I'm a lifelong customer of that grocery chain. In Chicagoland though, many people add the S in the name, like Jewels or Jewel's. Some malls in Chicago had a Jewel attached to it. A mall I used to shop had a Jewel at one end. This Jewel was placed here for the movie, even though it was at another section of the already-closed mall. So far, the only reactors to mention Jewel(s).

[@jamesjohnston1935]

When I got home from basic training, my dad and I watched this and 2000 back to back. With every piece of music we were turning the music up louder. By the time Everybody needs somebody comes on, the cops had been called for a noise disturbance. One of my favorite memories with my late father.

[@barrywilson1294]

I was working downtown Chicago when this was filmed. They basically bought a new fleet of cars for the state and Chicago police and trashed their old cars. The pile up under the elevated train takes all of 30 seconds on cut film but I watched them drive and flip cars into the pile one by one. The then mayor, Jane Byrne, wanted to encourage movie making in Chicago and was thrilled to have them partially wreck the building named after ex mayor Daley.

23:08 Here’s a little Easter egg. And almost every John Landis film, the fictitious movie title “See You Next Wednesday” is a running gag seen in other movies including an American werewolf in London where it is a porno film, in trading places, it’s a movie poster in Jamie Lee Curtis‘s apartment when she brings Dan Aykroyd home. It even Appears in the Kentucky Fried movie in the segment feel around.

[@Zer0d00d]

16:37 Because that's Paul Reubens. He was in that one Cheech and Chong movie playing a mental patient where he gave them LSD. He's also famous for filming a short anti-drug PSA warning about the dangers of crack cocaine. Also hosted a kid's show, starred in movies, and did something else regarding movie theaters. The 80's were a strange time.

[@kathyastrom1315]

I grew up in Joliet, so just about everyone in town saw this film when it hit the theaters the summer before I started high school. My Catholic school that fall had as its Homecoming theme “We’re on a mission from God” and included aDress Like a Blues Brother day. When I went to college in Milwaukee four years later, I found out my freshman roommate’s dad was a Mt. Prospect cop whose old patrol car was used as one of the Bluesmobiles, and my drama professor was the shorter of the two guards escorting Jake across the Collins Street prison (Joliet has several prisons, so that was known locally by its location).

My uncle was an extra in his movie in the church scene & the final scene. Also, I always get really nostalgic when i see the scene when John Lee Hooker is singing Boom, Boom, Boom on Maxwell street. One of the greatest things as a kid was to go there, buy some stuff that you knew were knockoffs (or knocked off if you know what i mean😂), get some great food & you never knew who would be out there playing. For some reason the city felt the need to “clean it up” & once they did the neighborhood got regentrified.

[@Rick-Rarick]

In my top 5 movies of all time! I love watching the movie and listening to the soundtrack! Fun fact about the mall, it was abandoned before this movie. They had to restock every store, and then hire security to watch over the merchandise, but the security started stealing stuff. So, they had to hire security to watch over the security! It also upset locals, as they thought the mall was reopening when that was not the case.

[@joeymac3777]

In the mall sequence...it was filmed in an abondoned mall in Harvey Illinois. All of the merchandise in the mall was shipped in for the movie by the companies that produced those products. The movie production had a deal with all of the merchandise manufacturers that anything they didn't destroy, they didn't have to pay for. Also, during production of that same scene, they of course used stunt drivers for much of it, so Aykroyd and Belushi didn't have to be there or be on screen. At one point during filming the mall chase, John Belushi disappeared and was nowhere to be found. It was 3AM and It was almost time to film close ups in the car, so Dan Aykroyd and John Landis, the director went in search of John Belushi. They ended up going outside and still couldn't find John. They looked down into a nearby neighborhood and saw that one house had a light on. Aykroyd and Landis went into the neighborhood and to the only house that had a light on. They knocked on the door, and when the home owner answered, they explained that they're filming a movie up the road at the abandoned mall and that one of their actors is missing. The homeowner asked "Is it John Belushi?". When Aykroyd and Landis confirmed it was Belushi they was looking for, the man stated that John had been wandering the neighborhood, saw his light on....and he just walked in. He went to the kitchen, made himself a sandwich and then crashed out asleep on his couch. Aykroyd and Landis woke John up, apologized to the home owner, who was totally cool with it (He said he was happy to have him) and then went back to the location to shoot the footage they needed. That incident led Dan Aykroyd to give his best friend John Belushi the nickname "America's Guest." Aykroyd has talked about that incident many, many times over the years, as well as on the special features of the DVD/Blue Ray. Every time he tells the story, he has a little smile on his face and the look in his eyes as he recalls that story....you can tell that it's a fond memory of his best friend. You can also detect a little sadness/bittersweetness when he tells it.

[@15blackshirt]

Lead actor John Belushi and director John Landis preceded this with National Lampoon's Animal House. This was adapted from the Saturday Night Live skit of the same name

I remember when I saw this movie in the 80's, most of us thought the mall scene was an actual, functioning mall. In reality, it was a shopping mall that had been closed down but the production miraculously found it and dressed it up just for the filming. I think I read somewhere that many of the cars in the parking lot were actually those of the cast and crew. One of the most amazing scenes in film history!

My favorite soundtrack of any movie ,great choice,I cannot believe no one in your Patreon has not recommended the movie Warrior with Tom Hardy and Nick Nolte ,it is a true hidden gym about the family dynamic and MMA

That beginning song man. She Caught the Katy. That song just moves me. At a special tribute show John Belushi’s brother Jim performed with the band and Dan Akroyd and also John Goodman (who would be in the sequel a couples years after that show) and he performed that same song. Video you can find on here.
