The Blues Brothers: The car chase Scene (HD CLIP)

[@davidius74]

What no-one has mentioned is that for years, this movie held the record for most cars destroyed in one movie and even to this day, this scene is one of the most memorable car chase scenes in any movie or video game.

[@topofthecircle]

There is a Taiwanese movie maker who has done enormous out-of-this-world car crash scenes. I do not remember which was the first film of his I saw on the Saturday afternoon matinees on VHS, but it was a YUGE scene.

[@ekyxor]

Didn't they break that record on Blues Brothers 2000?

[@michelemdupre2558]

He'll yes!

[@BlackAbe007]

Video Game!!!

[@algordo1997]

And what about the band they left behind?

[@PBDrives]

The Bluesmobile itself is a great character in his film. The love of Elwood's life, second only to his brother.

[@TigerWing141]

But reach at certain point 4:11

[@felipeaguena5289]

I love how the laws of physics just get tossed out the garbage randomly, I was laughing so hard when the nazi car starts gaining altitude for no reason

[@JimLambda]

This always boggled my mind as a kid, but I've now put it down to divine intervention, since the Bros are "on a mission from God".

[@landonbenford8369]

The producers had to get "special permission" from City Hall to go 118 mph under the Wells street Elevated tracks. And the FAA would Never allow a car to be dropped from a cargo chopper like in this movie again.

[@585MBA]

My interpretation is that it was God that made it possible. Since they were on a “mission from God” some sort of comedic but random divine intervention.

[@DEFC0NZER0]

​@@585MBA Which is also why all the other random stuff happens, even their car falling apart in the end. They were at their destination and didn't need the car anymore, God was showing that by removing His protection that kept it from falling apart(after all, it looked like it should've fallen apart long ago).

[@Jim_L]

... or how a Ford Pinto is somehow capable of keeping up with Elwood's old cop car with the souped-up cop motor. 😅

[@wdkshow6928]

Ever since my dad showed me this movie! This has been my top number one favorite for over 15 years now! Rest in Peace, John Belushi. You were awesome!!

[@Azner101]

A movie that is over 40 yrs old and still remains the gold standard in car chases!!!

[@jbwiseguy]

By far THE most epic car chase scene of ANY movie

[@KingCeee]

One of the most

[@NoahSpurrier]

Bullitt, but this was funnier and my favorite.

[@atworkstation]

No doubt about it

[@nicholasrockall7308]

Some of Bond's DB5 moments have been good, but I agree 100% this movie's car chase was the most outstanding.

[@omarhaq9635]

I wonder they were inspired by Mad Max 1979

[@bbqboy175]

The visuals in this were beyond its time. No CGI here, just plain old fashioned mayhem!

[@drewski1535]

Exactly just hands on special effects and amazing talent and imagination

[@lexkanyima2195]

@@drewski1535 so well done

[@b3j8]

That film speed at 2:25 was not sped up. The Stuntman said in a documentary he was really doing over 110! Can you imagine driving under the EL THAT fast! One of my favorite scenes of the movie.

[@corbind8193]

Oh really? That's insane.😯 I wasn't sure if it was real or not.

[@vilefly]

Oh, on the big screen....you knew it wasn't fake.

[@Solarsystemrdffdfyyhh]

FUX YEAH!!! GREATEST ever. Fast and furious tried so hard so many movies and they don't even come close!

Dude no. I can hardly do 20 in a normal day

[@betsybarnicle8016]

3:37-3:43 Props to the 6 pack, untouched by 3 car chase cars.

[@JSwanKilowJ]

Fast & Furious could never. REAL cars, REAL driving, no CGI, just skill and guts. The real thing will always beat computerized in my book.

[@drewski1535]

That's right this being a comedy out does Fast and furious with this kind of action

[@NoahSpurrier]

Didn’t catch the demise of the Bluesmobile, probably the most heart wrenching part of the movie.

[@arthurchallat8530]

I deeply love the over the top/cartoony tone they gave to this car chase, it makes this sequence H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S !

[@djhaloeight]

Yet it’s also so serious as well, which adds to the humor. 😂 Classic

[@TomSidProductions]

Use of unnecessary violence to apprehend the Blues Brothers has been approved.

[@ΕΜΜΑΝΟΥΗΛΔΑΣΚΑΛΑΚΗΣ-ξ9θ]

Adding Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries really was as momental as the Luger pistol. One of the best comedies ever.

[@mccrackenphillip]

Notice the rare pinto wagon didn't land where it was shown

[@jamesbastian2812]

I just know that the song made this so great

[@derrickw5204]

Henry Gibson was a comedic genius from Laugh In to The Blues Brothers he was hilarious .

[@stefan.agnello9772]

How can you not include the Blues Mobile completely falling apart after all that!!

[@richieb4190]

Man it must have been a blast being the stunt coordinator. He was the guy in the movie that said “Do you have a Ms Piggy?”

[@terrygarcia6992]

The guy that said that was Bill Murray

[@cainster]

No, that wasn't Bill. That was someone else.@@terrygarcia6992

[@TedBronson1918]

What a great movie ! It was probably one of the funniest movies ever. The number of cars wrecked set a record at that time too. Belushi and Ackroyd made a masterpiece with all the talent they got to participate in the flick. I enjoyed watching a number of clips just now - they had me laughing for about a half hour.

[@KimmieJonesProductions]

I like how "Ride of the Valkires" was included in second half of the chase

[@welshpete12]

Very Germanic !

In Grand Theft Auto you only can get five stars - this guys however, got TEN stars.

[@CubeTX]

I first saw this movie on Showtime when I was 8 years old. This past weekend at age 51 I finally made it to Chicago and saw many of the landmarks from this movie.

[@McNabbulous]

No wonder the Bluesmobile outran all those cars. It had a cop motor cop shocks cop brakes, and it was a model made before catalytic converters, so it runs good on regular gas.

[@maggy154]

ok but does it have a cigarette lighter?

[@kennethduarte9605]

Having a big block 440 helps too.

[@Locadel2003]

Rip John Belushi, he could have been a big legendary actor like Dan Akroyd

[@skwisgarskwigelf7191]

He was legendary. Moral of the story: lay off the drugs

[@jamesh2003]

It's impossible to get bored of this movie.

[@mikebockey4125]

not showing 5 more seconds to see the old plymouth fall apart was a criminal act lol -correction, dodge. i always used to think it was a fury and not a monaco

[@blairbrown4812]

Binge Society was clearly pushing the limits of Fair Use to the breaking point to show us this much. For which,I am eternally grateful.

[@America17760]

Most hilarious car chase ever, I loved this movie.

[@vontavius01]

I love how over the top cartoonish this scene is when the rest of the film was mostly down to earth. The Pinto randomly flying into the air after jumping and the blank "WTF" expressions from the Nazis will never not be funny.

[@inarieon8531]

Im sure 100% they wanted it to look like God was playing with the cars like they were toys on a hot wheels track, it is such a childish yet genius bit of filmmakong!!

[@markbrusberg9808]

My uncle (RIP) absolutely loved this scene. He worked for GM, and laughed his ass off at all the cars that were destroyed.

[@ct0760]

I love how Canadian Dan gets with the role Oh nooo the motor blew a raad Is that bad? Yep

[@Utonian21]

0:11 It's so weird to think that's what police cars looked like when this film came out. They've come along way in the past couple of decades.

[@BossArmy75]

I like the idea that the blues mobile (a retired police car) is still holding its own/out running newer police cars

[@okjeffy6581]

Now they have Crown Vics. Well some services still do.

[@ockempson]

These old cop cars were gas guzzling, fire breathing machines with big ass engines and bumpers made of steel...lots of presence!

[@jammer96]

One of the best movies and car chases ever!!

[@cicolasnage5684]

I’m thoroughly convinced Christopher Nolan aped these scenes for the dark knight trilogy car chases

[@Solarsystemrdffdfyyhh]

Same Gotham!

[@blairbrown4812]

The first 5 Seconds of this video pretty much sums up The Blues Brothers in a nutshell.

[@R.P.Pyotrsovich]

05:57: One of those wacky Nazis: "I've always loved you..." LMFAO!

[@blairbrown4812]

A fitting way to end their miserable lives,don't you think 🤔😂🤣😅

[@R.P.Pyotrsovich]

@@blairbrown4812 I agree, I also thought using "Valkryie" as the Neo Nazis' chase theme was ideal for their ill-fated pursuit to kill Ray's SNL characters (note: Ray was played by Dan in Ghostbustas!)

[@vuho2075]

I miss those old police lights. They give the squad cars more personality than the bland light bars now a days.

[@Utonian21]

Lightbars now, (like every other aspect of modern cruisers) are far superior. More options for different patterns and combinations. Plus, they didn't have traffic advisors back then, either

[@adamfull3181]

Best car chase of all time 😂

One of the best

[@coombs9328]

I love Jake and Elwood the blues brothers characters

[@GeoHoleNoNe]

What’s funny is …. Goes from Chicago , to the road ending scene of the car falling in Milwaukee! And than when they drive off the end of the road in Milwaukee, you see the Chicago Tribune in the windshield. Lol

[@dwainmoore1159]

I loved when the car fell apart after they made it to the building to pay the taxes.

[@oondstzofny7269]

Mission from God completed. They got to where they needed to go. The divine protection went away and it turned back into a normal car.

The best police car chase in movie history lol, the way Elwood drove that old police car was straight ''criminal'' lol now this the real definition of pimp my ride lol,😂 because elwood made that car do unbeliveable things that he wanted it too do lol😂🤣 I also belive the police was extra madd because elwood drove 1 of their cars better then them lol😂🤣😂

[@morrisparrish76]

[@stupid47]

I also want to believe that God Himself was holding that car together, until their mission was done.

[@scottbardowski4314]

It's the Cook County accessors office if I'm not mistaken and it's Steven Speilberg at the office. This play's to something Australian (Captain Cook??) Maybe.

Yes it is. His name is Ralph Foody

[@Jim_L]

At the 4:43 mark, the lads have now entered Milwaukee, Wisconsin (disguised as Chicago). 😄 And one minute later, they're back in the Windy City.

[@SignalMan9292]

Even more interesting is that scene is actually accurate because they were heading towards Chicago but then they start heading towards lake Michigan

[@stanjankowski3790]

Fuck,what was that The motor We threw a rod Is that serious.............yup

[@marilynsmith5427]

I've always loved you unbelievable thank you

[@thequietestengine]

For those watching who know cars, I'm kinda curious; how impressive is it that despite a thrown rod, the Bluesmobile lasted THAT LONG? And realistically, could it have lasted that long, running that hard? (I know its a movie and just fun but I was kinda curious)

[@curierfromxibalba1155]

No. That's why the scene where it just falls apart works, they were on a mission from god. The blues mobile is blessed/protected until that point. Most jumping stunts would of damaged the suspension components severely, that could render the car undrivable. When "it threw a rod", the engine could have exploded any second more so that it looks the radiator was damage too. Wich means the car would overheat in minutes and cease up at the rpm's it was forced to perform.

[@thequietestengine]

@@curierfromxibalba1155 Thanks for clarifying that for me! I've seen a few engines running on idle where a PUSHrod's works its way out from under the lifters and they clatter and wriggle about, but those are a far cry from the speeds Elwood was pulling off and also different kind of rods. (Also I guessed on the jumps and suspension and such, but thats for clarifying those for me too.)

[@Sledgeh101]

FWIW I had twice driven a car with a thrown rod in the engine (don't judge me lol). I still vividly remember on one of the cars with an LED dashboard that lit up like a Christmas tree. Once it happens, you usually have less than a minute before everything dies.

[@cainster]

This whole chase is nothing but GTA 5 in real life.

[@stuartporter8222]

My absolute favorite movie

[@hugh-iu7vo]

The best scene in this movie

[@sethcopeland4362]

Some Milwaukee snuck into Chicago here. The bridge to nowhere is now the Hoan. You can see signs for Van Buren, one of the stages at the Summerfest grounds, and the US Bank building during that part of the sequence.

[@blackasylum9770]

6:03 He sounds like a cat you wake up out of a deep sleep😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The Milwaukee scene was when the Hoan Bridge was known as the "The Bridge to Nowhere." That unfinished ramp off I-794 has been finished in Milwaukee.

"I've always loved you." That was the most touching thing to say to someone you've cared for, especially when death is on the line. Hard to believe those were that Nazi's final words before dying.

[@noahhobson4521]

Proof that the brothers really are on a mission from God. Normally if a car throws a rod, the engine dies right there, that the car was able to make it all the way to where they were going and then completely falls apart could only be divine intervention.
