  A Masterpiece of 80's comedy based on true people!!!!!

After building up the duo's popularity through recordings and several performances on Saturday Night Live, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd--as "legendary" Chicago blues brothers Jake and Elwood Blues--took their act to the big screen in this action-packed hit from 1980. As Jake and Elwood struggle to reunite their old band and save the Chicago orphanage where they were raised, they wreak enough good-natured havoc to attract the entire Cook County police force. The result is a big-budget stunt-fest on a scale rarely attempted before or since, including extended car chases that result in the wanton destruction of shopping malls and more police cars than you can count. Along the way there's plenty of music to punctuate the action, including performances by Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, and James Brown that are guaranteed to knock you out. As played with deadpan wit by Belushi and Aykroyd, the Blues Brothers are "on a mission from God," and that gives them a kind of reckless glee that keeps the movie from losing its comedic appeal. Otherwise this might have been just a bloated marathon of mayhem that quickly wears out its welcome (which is how some critics described this film and its 1998 sequel). Keep an eye out for Steven Spielberg as the city clerk who stamps some crucial paperwork near the end of the film

The Blues Brothers movie is one of the greatest movies of all time and a must for all movie collections. I have this movie on vhs but had to have my own copy on dvd. The movie is a great action but also comedy and is a fantastic watch for all the family. It's one film that all generations of the family will watch and love, they just dont make movies like this anymore.

  Blues Brothers - Aykroyd, Belushi & special guests
Review created: 07/12/07
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Having watched it for the first time on VCR, I thought that it was time to buy it on DVD. So I searched on eBay for it, and bought it for an extremely reasonable price, bearing in mind that I could not find it in the shops near me. Received it, opened it, watched it, loved it!!! Not knowingly that there were extra sequences that were cut out of the original 1980 movie. From the lengthened introduction where Jake Blues, (John Belushi) leaves prison after 3/5 years for “good behavior”, and meets his brother Elwood (Dan Aykroyd), to the epic 106 mile car chase from the Palace Hotel, to the J. Daley Plaza “where they got that Picasso”.
Dan Aykroyd (SNL, Trading Places), makes his appearance as driving superstar Elwood. The awesome Dodge Monaco 74 makes its’ memorable appearance as the infamous Bluesmobile – the much loved car that loyally transports Jake and Elwood to their gigs, and out of trouble, before literally falling apart near the end of the film.

Complete with bonus features, including how they made the film, and the extra few minutes that were cut out, the Blues Brothers is a must see film!

Favourite line:
“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!”

John Landis has done it yet again!

The Blues Brothers 2000 (1998), is just as action-packed and hilarious as the original.
Co-starring:
Frank Oz (Warden), Kathleen Freeman (the “Penguin”), Cab Calloway (Curtis), James Brown (Rev. Cleophus James), Steven Williams, Carrie Fisher, John Candy, Aretha Franklin, John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles, Henry Gibson, Jeff Morris, Charles Napier, Steve Lawrence, Twiggy, and Steven Spielberg.

The Blues Brothers Band:
Matt “Guitar” Murphy, Steve “The Colonel” Cropper, Donald “Duck” Dunn, Murphy Dunne, Willie “Too Big” Hall, Tom “Bones” Malone, Alan “Mr. Fabulous” Rubin, and “Blue” Lou Marini.

10/10 Action packed fun!!

The Blues Brothers is a timeless classic, a must have DVD. However I was disappointed with the quality as the film plays perfectly until the songs are performed, there are no lyrics only the music is audible.

this is one of my all time favourite films.
had it on vhs for years but i don`t have a video player anymore so
it had to be purchased
it doesn`t matter what life`s thrown at you, watch this and you`ll forget
all about it for a while.
i`m a big blues and soul fan and so many stars are there and its also very
very funny but you don`t need to be a big fan of the genre.
don`t take my word for it, buy beg or borrow a copy and see for yourself!!

Review created: 10/09/09

Some things in life get you down, bad weather, bills, family problems etc.,
When I'm feeling a bit down this movie really does it for me its just so funny.
Numerous cameo appearances add to the fun and if you don't laugh at this one I don't know what would.

Oh! by the way I'm not in my teens, I'm about to retire.

Review created: 03/07/09(updated 24/07/09)

Everybody has heard of the Blues Brothers. They are a phenomena. With more tribute acts than you can shake a tailfeather at, all it takes is two black pork pie hat's, two pairs of shades and a mate and you're there. All that naffness aside then this film is the reason all of that exists and you kind of forget that underneath the whole 'cult of the Blues Brothers' that has been spawned over the years is a very very funny and accomplished movie. The Blues Brothers is a great watch and very ambitious for its time in terms of stunts and action; this was filmed in the days before CGI and computer generated effects so when something explodes or crashes into someting else there is a real 'one take' rawness to it all. This, and 'National Lampoons Animal House', are a worthy legacy for the late Jon Belushi and an absolute must watch for anyone who has never seen it, or has not watched it for a long time. Solid acting, solid story, solid soundtrack, solid comedy.

I havent opened it yet, but it has the original packaging, so im sure it is in excellent working condition. I like the fact that the item is sealed, I would never buy a disc of any sort if that was not the case. Got a great price on it too which was a very low starting bid also. Many thanks, mel

I have loved the Blues Brothers since seeing a tribute act at Universal Studios in Orlando whilst on holiday there. The music is really fun and happy and just makes u want to dance!! After seeing them i had to buy the movie and i was not disappointed. Very happy with purchase. The film has everything...action, comedy, music and some really good cameos including Ray Charles, James Brown and my favourite scene includes Aretha Franklin. Very good car chase at the end too for the people who are into that!! Brilliant film! :)

A bit on the long side but with plenty of famous cameos in it and lots of good music. Actually has a story line but the car chasers are worth watching. It never dates either.
