Originally aired 7/1/2014. Remember the time they made a biopic of John Belushi, where his ghost is being led around by his Puerto Rican cab driving guardian angel?

Fun fact: The guy playing Angel the cab driver, Ray Sharkey, is said to have been the guy who enabled John Belushi to get back on drugs and break his sobriety after he got sober to film CONTINENTAL DIVIDE, leading him to die the next year. And as Brad alluded to in the review, Ray Sharkey was deep into drugs himself, and even contracted HIV, but he convinced himself he had a strain of HIV that wouldn't become AIDS and gave it to a whole load of women, and one of those women even sued Sharkey before he died of AIDS in 1993. ...okay, maybe that wasn't necessarily a "fun" fact, but hey, the more you know.

@@ScratchthechalkBoard I wonder, sincerely, if anyone will ever try to make a film about Landis, The Twilight Zone, his son and or career. I've read a few books on the "event" and this movie, did leave me thinking, what a dramatic retelling could be like. Even a full-fledged documentry could be fascinating. Imagine for a horrifying second, the morgue scene from this movie, but done for the Twilight zone "accident." It's a sickening thought, but I normally have a sick sense of humor. But in this example....NO!! I don't think I could go any further but I do think Landis should have to live in a world, where more people are aware of his gross negligence, to say the least!

To this day, I still remember the disturbing numbness and furious anger I felt leaving the theater after seeing this abomination. I loved the book, as sad as it was, and I thought maybe the movie would try to capture the tragedy of John's death. Instead, it was an infuriating mess for anyone who loved John's talent. It was bad enough that they wallow in tone-deaf comedy while John is dying, but to say he went to hell was beyond the pale. Just obscene.

@@agentleman4610 Also, Mike and John have quite a lot in common, mind you. Mike has long been a John Belushi fan, and at an early age was fond of imitating Joe Cocker, much like Belushi. Also, both of them were co-captain of their respective high school football teams, a teenage actor in summer stock, and a singer in a band. Quite a pity nobody told Dan about that back in the day, or since then. Similar to Dan, Mike also has a brother named Peter and has played cop characters (ex: "The Commish", "The Shield", and most recently "Gotham"), plus both of them are married to blondes and both of them are musically talented. Therefore, there should be no reason why Mike and Dan can't patch things up between them and become close pals.

Belushi's body was literally strapped to the wing of the plane to get him to Martha's vineyard. So it was actually worse than what was portrayed in the movie. I really don't have a problem with it, he was dead after all, and having his body as soon as possible helped Judy to feel better, and that's what's important.

Man, this movie was so morbid in a wrong way. It's like all they could focus on was the fact he died of a drug overdose, he was not a drug addicted sad sack no matter what this movie tells you. I am sure if he could have, back then he would have gotten treatments at rehab. I mean imagine if someone did a biopic about John Candy where the whole message is 'this guy was overweight. Being overweight is evil and you will die if you are like that.' Or making a biopic about Robin Williams where Williams is constantly being depressed and not pleased with his life. It would just be Williams crying and nothing else. In addition to this, also it would be like doing a MJ biopic that pretty much just says 'he was a pedophile' based on the supposed accusations he got of child molestation. The Late Shift (while not a biopic) actually does a terrific job of adapting the book it is based on and the performances are pretty good,, Roebuck's Jay Leno isn't entirely spot on but Leno himself praised his performance and Kathy Bates pretty much steals the show as Helen. The point is, Wired is what you show people when you are doing a lecture on how NOT to make a biopic.

Scary thought.... the flashback story where that 'angel' is taking John around is like a uber BAD version of *It's a Wonderful Life* called, *"It's a Royally Botched Up Life"* . For all of Andy Kaufman's theatrical antics, MAN ON THE MOON at least showed the 'human' side of the actor/performance artist. .

22:47 But it IS sucky enough for a season 6 SNL sketch! Fun fact: Ray Sharkey, the guy who played Angel, was actually a one-time host during season 6.

It makes it even worse that he's in this. He knew him but he was a drug addict and you need money for drugs. Like Belushi's other addict cousin who was blocked when he tried to take a picture of Belushis corpse for the inquirer for money who said john wouldn't care.sadly wen your an addict your "friends" you end up surrounded by are soulless creatures with zero morals

Why did John Belushi not defend his brother in court during the finale of According to Jim
@mathieuleader86017 жыл бұрын
I only saw the finale as the shows only episode it was early in the morning I had a stomach bug that's why I watched it and it was cornier than a cornfield but within the context of the shows universe it would've been good as a twist for John winning his freedom and for Jim to remain in heaven.

The worst thing you can do to a character is show the negative stuff about him/her without showing the positive side of the character. This movie fails because of this.

The Blues Brothers (1980), 1941 (1979), National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) where grand insane films that could never be made again, or made today. real film experiences.

The moral of this movie is,if you die from a speedball overdose then you spend eternity as a cabbie driving other souls of o.d.s around to show them their lives. Basically John Belushi,Jim Morrison,Jimi Hendrix,Janis Joplin,Chris Farley,River Pheonix and Heath Ledger are now cab drivers in the afterlife. Damn,I better not od on drugs. Oh wait,I forgot Sid Vicious and Dee Dee Ramone and Rick James are all now cab drivers,lol.

The guy who plays Dan Aykroyd may look like Kevin Nealon, but he sounds like Michael McKean (Who ironically joined the cast of SNL seven years later for 1994-95 season)

Super Hornio Bros Los Mutantes Tortugas Pinjas The Talking Vagina Trilogy Black Love The Beavis and Butthead Porno All of 80s Dan (If you can bear to see it again...) Too Smart For Strangers Mr. T's Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool Rock: It's Your Decision Dolemite (and the sequel with Bennett the Sage) Pretty much all of the rest of DVD-R Hell Mommie Dearest The Kung Tai Ted videos ...

Someone should go and make a Spongebob parody of this firm or something: "Breathe for me, Squidward." (Considering that Nostalgia Critic just crapped on The Wall with Spongebob's theme song, it would be par for the course and all).

There is no universe where Blues Brothers 2000 is worse than this. The one thing that movie got right was writing out Belushi so they didn't disrespect his memory. And this is an entire movie designed to disrespect his memory.
