''Use of unnecessary violence, in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers, has been APPROVED." What makes this even funnier: the whole thing started, because Elwood run a red light and his driver´s license was taken, for various other traffic violations. Imagine, if he had done a more serious crime!

"It's 110 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!"

"Jake. Jake! I gotta pull over." The greatest exit off a highway, ever.

this movie has the better car chase scene than the entire Fast and Furious franchise

'why the hell do you guys need 200 cop cars? I thought you were making a movie about 2 musicians?'

At 4:19 they actually were driving the car at 115 mph. The city shut down the streets on a Sunday morning and allowed for two passes. The pedestrians were later added in.

Greatest car chase scene ever. Also greatest accumulation of automotive damage ever racked up in a film. I know the bill must have been staggering.

I heard this movie is in the Guiness World Book of Records for the number of cars they crashed. Too lazy to fact check.

It's hilarious how the blues brothers act as if they daily get chased by the cops so they're really use to it 😂😂

FUNNIEST shit is that the truck that John Candy and crew crashed into just kept DRIVING ON like nothing happened

I just love how that 440 is screaming at 120 mph!

At 7:33 I thought the camera was on the ground looking up, but then as the skyscraper came into view, it just made it even more absurd. Can’t stop laughing at how incredibly high up that road bridge would have been lol

1:38 "Hey they broke my watch!" Two watches were harmed in the making of this film.

All real cars. Notice how much better it looks than any CGI. Those were the days.

I’m an over the road driver, and I was recently in Joliet Illinois, and sure enough there was a truckstop that had a bluesmobile on a stand. And inside they had life size image of Joliet Jake and Elwood blues on it with the famous quote of “it’s 106 miles to chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark and we’re wearing sunglasses, hit it!” Now to see that was just epic. And all I stopped for was just a weigh scale ticket. You never know what you’ll see out on the open road

I've probably seen this movie 100 times since I was a kid (I was really into cars) and I still, to this day, think these bottles at 5:26 are gonna get smashed up lol

If there are more madcap farcical chase comedies like these where climatic elaborate slapstick chases are present, the world of comedy films will remain healthier and thriving for years to come.

"Hey, Jake! Jake! I got to pull over!" *Zooms off the road and causes a ten-plus police car pile-up* "Pull over" he says...

That smashed beer can sliding back and forth on the dash while they both execute perfect delivery of lines 👌

I was waiting for the dispatch guy to say “Keep the change you filthy animal!”😂

My favorite part is at 0:02 with everyone looking like they’re casually going to work lol. 😂😂😂

I first saw this movie when I was like 10 years old. To this day, any time I’m driving in Chicago and take Lower Wacker, I quote Elwood’s line of dialogue about being very close to the Honorable Richard J. Daley Plaza. I’m pretty sure my family hates me 😂

The sound of the bluesmobile engine brings a chill to my spine ❤

At least twice in the chase I hear a cop exclaim,"My watch!" Even happens during the car chase in the mall. A running joke.

Nothing can stop you when you're on a mission for God! 😂😂😂

Would love to have a Dodge Monaco. Such a beast of a machine.

Great film, still hilarious in 2023

I absolutely love how this goes from state troopers to city cops to fucking Nazis XD! My step dad showed me this movie when I was in middle school and I am now 24 years old and love this movie

That chicago accent kills me 😂 "Ohh nooh, the mootor! I've throon a rad!" Lol

Still a more realistic chase scene than Fast and Furious...😂😂😂

7:43. " I've always loved you" Haha idk why I find this part to be so funny 😂😅

Literally the best movie ever created. I watch it over and over and it never gets old.

4:44 When your car doesn’t have ABS

Story is Akroyd and Belushi bribed the stunt driver a case of beer to clip the dome lights off that cop car. Did it on the first take. Props to Jane Byrne, she took heat for letting them film this in the city. Didn't get permission to drop that car too, just did it.

Whoever planned out these scenes deserves a medal back when movies were fun

Hands down Blues Brothers deserves a spot in the top 5 greatest movies of all-time. End of.

The motor, we’ve thrown a rod Is that serious? Yeap 😂

That many police cars, *GTA at its finest.*

7:08 -7:45 this part always gets me good 🤣

The use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of The Blues Brothers... Has been approved!!!

At 4:18............ can you imagine that they were actually driving that fast, and it wasn't sped up!!! 😯

Love John Candy...may God bless you!

Most hilarious police car chase I have ever seen in a movie. Blues Brothers!!!

I would go out on a limb here and put this car chase right up there with Bullit and The French Connection as one of cinemas greatest!

They couldn’t do this without CGI anymore. Such a shame.

Ive said before how i was like 8-9 when mum let me watch this andnit changed me life. My love of GOOD music/blues was born, i ended up a bass player, i have the framed poster in my Dad room (above my vinyl) Thank you Jake Thank You Elwood and thank you Mum

Before NFS Most Wanted, we had the Blues Brothers 😂

I'm so glad my dad showed me this movie as a kid, I was addicted to watching this movie.

Better than any Fast and Furious chases....

One of the wildest and funniest car chases in the history of cinema!

Love this movie. Saw this scene many, many times.

loved the police chase in this movie..😅😂😂 specially the sirens of the chicago police😂

Both Elwood and the cops are driving cop cars, but clearly he’s the only one who knows HOW to drive it 😂

1:20 I just realized this entire scene was referenced in Family Guy. Lol.

that look they give eachother at 3:19

This is the movie that made me want to visit Chicago. Love this movie.

7:43 the precise moment you could just about hear Adolf Hitler screaming in agony from hell.

0:38 I like the fact that Elwood destroys a safety barrier and rushes down a steep slope, all to go back in the same direction XD

Was I good car? No. You were the best.

I played this picture every summer, for18 years, at my open air cinema during Summerfest weekend here in Milwaukee Wisconsin.

The best part is when they get launched in the air at the end! 😂

4:18 Elwood had that 440 Magnum roaring through the streets of Chicago 💪🏾 #AmericanMuscle

Those dodge Monaco’s were one of the heaviest sedans built, I bought a 74 from a Chevy dealership that just wanted it gone..$50 bucks!, drove it home…beat it, jumped it, threw my brother in law into the back seat when we landed of the barn bridge…finally killed it from a frame bending hard landing where it excavated about 400 lbs of dirt into the radiator and bent up both front fenders…good times…sold it to the salvage yard for $200 and kept the brand new battery!

Apparently the Lord gives the Bluesmobile force powers.

Saw this film a million years ago,....it still makes me laugh. I imagine the "mall" scene in my head when ever I am in a mall, or a similar shopping center. As a rule I hate those places,....so I dig deep into my memories, and try to imagine driving though them and crashing into everything, wrecking all the displays, knocking the mannequins down, busting up the kiosks,....laying waste to all that gross consumerism crap. My next go-to fantasy is recalling the stories about kids and adults who hid inside of a closed shopping mall, over a weekend. Same scenarios,....wrecking things, busting up the mannequins, eating all the fancy candies, & foods. In my 20s, I would get temporary jobs, at malls,...in the stores doing inventory, or helping set up the displays,....then even later in life,....I worked with an interior design company, setting of seasonal displays in the stores and the showroom windows.

I've always loved you. That was funny.

This is one movie that should never, ever, be remade. It is perfect the way it is.

John Candy played the perfect psychopath 🤣🤣🤣 he totally wanted them to get away ❤

Love that you can very clearly see the ramp used for one of the cop cars to pile up at 5:05 lol

Anyone else amazed those beer bottles were missed when they turned down the alley?

2:05 Let the chase begin!!!

Fun fact: The left-over Chicago police cars used in this film (which were purchased by the studio from Dodge) were later reused for the TV show Hill Street Blues. The word "Chicago" was changed to "Metro" and the blue roof lights were given red lenses.

Comedy = Tragedy + Time Or Comedy = Crash All the Cars

No one ELSE has ever gone though so much to pay taxes.

Fun fact, the CPD radio cop is also the tommy gun toting gangster in the fake movies in Home Alone 1 and 2

Might this possibly be the greatest car-chase movie of all time? 😄

Elwoods handles are next level. Hes a smith with it.

Kudos to those stunt car drivers. Have to lol all the cops getting out of their cars after a huge crash, and they still have their hats on.

If there's a lupin the third movie it needs to have a chase like this

Any entire armada of police couldn't stop them, They were on a mission from God.

Aww, you cut it 10 seconds too early. The nazi pinto making a giant pothole was a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the condition of Chicagp city streets. "Potholes big enough to swallow a car" was the locals' description. Anyone from Chicagoland can appreciates that joke.

Amazing how well it stands up.

At 4:50 if you look off to the right side of your screen. I think you see a cameraman on the sidewalk.

When this came out. I bought it on Extended Play Laserdisc. Just so i could frame by frame all the crashes 🤗 ... memories

I saw this movie for the first time as a child at a drive in movie cinema. Loved it.

the police sirens sound make me wacko 😁👍

The scene of them going "120" through the city is awesome. I am sure they were not really going 120 but they were moving really fast. The way you can tell is because they put people walking and moving along the sidewalks. Normally if you want to generate the illusion of speed you speed up the footage. This would normally make the people move faster too so most of the time when this is done there are no people so the illusion isn't broken. That way you can truly tell that they are hauling serious ass through the streets of Chicago.

At 5:28 all 3 cars take exactly the same line, missing those bottles by a millimetre or so - precision driving!!

1974 Dodge Monaco with a 440 police package 👍

Pure cinematic glory at its peak. No movie can ever come close to this. NONE!

Zero CGI, Pure Cinematic Acion!!! Wow!!!!

It's the backflip for me. 😂

Five Star Wanted Level

Damn, elwood really got them the 6 stars wanted level.

As a kid at 7 or 8 years old.. Of the whole movie.. the car chase and crashing was my favorite part.. but when the pinto wagon went off the bridge, I really thought they had tall bridges in Chicago and they were that high up in the air..

"Unnesesary violence in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers.. HAS BEEN APPROVED"

Not even Jacket was this destructive against police.

"They broke my Watch!" 😂😂

Still better than anything in the Fast and the Furious franchise.

1:59...the line that result in the Chicago Police banning anyone using their name, colours or other exact likeness in television or motion picture for the next 30 years...
