The Blues Brothers: The Jailhouse Rock (HD CLIP)

[@jasynwiener]

the fact that Steven Spielberg plays the clerk @ 1:10 continues to blow my mind to this day...

[@23bobjr]

You have to realise, he wasnt a huge director then. he was well known, but wasnt major until the 80's

[@jasynwiener]

@@23bobjr Sorry, but I disagree. Reason #1: Jaws (1975) opened with a record box office weekend, topped $100m in the first 60 days, and passed The Godfather as the highest grossing US film in 78 days; 3 Academy Awards. Jaws held the top spot until Star Wars in 1977. Reason #2: Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), most successful film for Columbia Pictures as of that time; 2 Academy Awards. He was quite well known and well respected in 1980. More than enough so to make the appearance awesome and special.

@@DocRockBaby I'm a musician ( trumpet and bagpipes ), and that's one of my favorite movies. It had some legendary people besides musical talent.

As for the bagpipes, I'm sure there is, but I only played with a law enforcement pipe and drum band ( I'm no where good enough to solo it ). We have been on the news here in my country as we played in Washington DC during Police Week, and when the Irish Prime Minister visited my state, we were playing on our state house's steps while our Governor greeted him.

[@disgruntledcashier503]

so the story goes when they made this movie, the Chicago Chamber of Commerce had been trying for years to get more films and tv shows made in the city, but the only projects they were getting offers for were gangster movies, which understandably make the city's national image worse. So when The Blues Brothers came along and was *not* a gangster movie, the Chamber of Commerce let them do absolutely anything they wanted. Jump a car over a bridge? Sure. Stage a high-speed pursuit through a shopping mall? Go for it. HAVE THE NATIONAL GUARD SCALE THE SIDE OF THE JOHN HANCOCK BUILDING? Why not?

[@atomcraft4067]

That's awesome. I've always been in awe of how many extras there are in this movie.

[@bryankerbow7871]

Although I was born a year after this movie came out I remember watching it during my childhood and it pays tribute to the time when bands were legendary and didn't just come out of some video recorded in some kids bedroom and then posted to KZbin. Every one of the musicians in this movie where Legends in their own right and there will never be another movie like this one. An absolute classic!

[@matthewwilson2224]

Apart from the sequel!!! lol

[@actionsub]

That said, when Nathaniel Rateliff released his first single "S.O.B. (Gimme a Drink)" in 2015, the video for the song was an homage to this scene. Rateliff and his crew sound like a resurrected Blues Brothers to begin with, so it's pitch perfect.

[@VoxRox1]

The blond guy @ 3:18 banging his cup on the table is Joe Walsh from the Eagles. He was good friend with John Belushi.

Such an amazing movie. I remember (I was 16) when I went to see this. I had no preconception about the movie.

I was 14 when this movie came out and it was the best movie i had seen so far, and it became one of my most favorite movies ever. I even dressed up as a blues brother for a photo and i bought the soundtrack and played that over and over until it turned from black to grey. And the best parts were the chase scenes ofcourse, because there's no other movie where so much cars were destroyed. And it also was the only musical that i liked, because that's the genre where this movie belongs into.
