You don't like it? No, I don't like it. (jumps bridge) Fix the cigarette lighter.
Love that movie, love the soundtrack.
For your consideration.
The original 'The Italian Job' with Michael Caine and Benny Hill as a computer wizard.
I have never seen Blues Brothers and, to my knowledge, have never seen this clip. Somehow I still knew almost immediately that this must be from Blues Brothers.
Cultural osmosis is crazy y'all.
It was either gonna be Blues Brothers or Police Academy and I've seen Police Academy enough to know it wasn't that
There's also a scene like this in a French movie, albeit with Peugeots. I think it was one of the Taxi films.
Edit:
Found it, was Taxi 2.
Indeed and it was in reference to the scene from blues brothers. I think the one from taxi was extra funny
I love this movie and I'm not really much of a movie person. Absolute classic.
I remember watching this movie when I was around 12 years old. Had never heard of it before just started watching it and loved it. It's It has become one of my top 3 favorite movies. It also introduced me to the world of the blues and some of the best blues musicians/singers.
I remember buying the soundtrack on CD and playing it over and over again. I think I was the only pre-teen that knew of Cab Calloway and could sing "hi-de-ho" .
wow, I was a weird kid
I think I was the only pre-teen that knew of Cab Calloway and could sing "hi-de-ho" .
I thought the same thing at that age, and then my music teacher at the time was like "oh hey fun fact I played Minnie The Moocher with Callaway before he died" and busted out a picture of him with Callaway
He and I both played trumpet so I learned how to play those lines from someone who performed with the legend himself, and Ive always thought that was one of the coolest things I've ever done
"This mall has EVERYTHING!"
Pov: the GTA 5 ai when I park my car on the highway
sigh I see a Blues Brothers post, I must watch the Blues Brothers. No choice.
Such a chore isn’t it
^well it’s a beautiful movie, Bob^
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.
Sweet mother of blessed acceleration don't fail me now.
"I hate Illinois nazis." From a better time when we didn't have a third of the country loving nazis.
I always fucking wondered what he said and now I know 🙏
We're on a mission from gahd!
This is a very interesting clip, it really shows how flimsy 70s American cars were built
Held together with faith and chewing gum
We just watched this again last night. Are you in my house?
No he isn't. I've checked.
Not at the moment
You can show me a scene with absolutely no characters and I'll know it's the blues brothers.
Also here's a 8 minute compilation of ever car crash in the movie
I just don't have the words to describe how awesome this movie is to folks who haven't seen it. It's a must-watch.
- Awesome soundtrack with
- Very many celebrity cameos (including musical performances by Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, others), and some you won't even notice until you google them
- Funny and bad things happening to Nazis
- Cops looking like fools (to be fair, that's nearly every movie of this era)
- Folks who would today be magas looking like fools
- Late 70s/Early 80s kinda ribald humor
- Over the top car chases (see OP)
- Carrie Fisher
- An actual mission from God (in the context of the film)
- John Belushi at his best
- Dan motherfucking Aykroyd
- The Blues Brothers
- Almost bizarrely, a positive message of inclusivity and brotherly love.
sorry I forgot it wouldn't be obvious to everyone.
Cops looking like fools (to be fair, that’s nearly every movie of this era)
My favorite scene from that era.
"What is it?"
"A little fly shit."
Don’t forget John Candy
Fuckin' A how could I forget John Candy? Anyone want an Orange Whip?
I always wondered what an orange whip was. I’ll go google that
I'm pretty sure they just didn't want to say Orange Julius. That was the big brand at the time, and it was amazing. Looks like they are still around, but I don't know if they have been enshittified. https://www.orangejulius.com/en-us/
It was just a frothy orangey creamy cold drink - not icy like a slurpee or icee, just very cold and frothy. Somehow amazing.
Well an orange whip is a thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_whip
I want to say this looks like what may have been in the film during the final song scene
Well I've been imagining the wrong drink all these years, I'm sure you are right. (and that sounds yummy)
“This is car… uh, hey, what car are we?”
“Five. Five.”
“This is car 55… uh, we’re in a truck.”
With almost non stop cartoonish mayhem anarchy ignored by all characters. A superb movie!
What’s the movie?
Thank you for asking this question instead of ripping a fart.
How do you know they're not multi-tasking?
That's a fair point.
one of the funniest movies ever
Doesn't this scene still hold the record for the most number of cars in a car crash scene?
The original Blues Brothers claimed Most Police Cars Destroyed in a Single Scene record till it sequel deliberately destroyed just one more.
The record for Most vehicles destroyed in a film (non CGI) is 532 for Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011).
This one is a honourable mention, although not a movie, it was much more expensive: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1n8F4uClUU&t=111s&pp=2AFvkAIB
At the time, it held the record of most cars destroyed for a film. That has since been eclipsed various times, mainly by films from the fast and furious franchise. But the current record holder is one of the transformers films.
Oh cool, thanks for sharing! I knew the movie held some kind of record for destroying cars, but couldn't think of exactly what it was. All I can say is that none of those other movies will ever have nearly the same amount of satisfaction with scenes like this
