Aykroyd was funnier than Belushi.
"We're on a mission from Gawd" is the only memorable line in the entire movie
>>222479798"Four whole fried chickens and a coke."
Look, pier one imports!
I’ve never watched it, mainly cos I hate blues or R&B or whatever it is they play. I also don’t think Aykroyd was very good at playing “cool”. He still looks and acts like a dork in sunglasses.
>>222479736The wrong belushi died.Im not afraid to say it.
>>222480041https://youtu.be/0thnlhmHbZM?si=f4S4RZE753Pyg-P5Absolute pleb take
>>222480041The western bar scene is cool. Come to think of it, little shop of horrors also had great songs.
>>222479736I agree. I always liked Elwood more as a kid and didn't get why everyone liked Jake. I was a kid when Blues Brothers 2000 came out and I loved that one more cause Elwood was the main character. Plus I liked the music more, too.
>>222479736I watched it recently after over 20 years. It's not as good as I remembered it.

>>222480041They took on the image of the only father figure they knew from the orphanage, and are criminals, they weren't trying to be "cool". Maybe try watching the movie first
>>222480061I'd love to see an alternate universe where John lived, imagine what Aykroyd's career would have been like if the two of them could have continued doing films together. Although that universe probably had Robin Williams die WAY earlier.
>>222479798You gonna look funny trying to eat corn on the cob with no fucking teeth

>>222480041They're not trying to be cool, in the movie they're considered dorks since the look and music was outdated by 1980. They get mocked when going for a gig by being told they're still dressed like they were a decade prior.The music is also based beyond belief.
Jim was the better singer

My dad and me would watch this alot when I was a kid, good times. I really hope my parents would hurry up and pass on soon so I can finally kill myself.
>>222486473I can hear this gif.
>>222484404Ghostbusters would have had Belushi in it instead of Bill Murray. Akyroyd wrote Murray's character for Belushi.
>>222479798>Are you with the government?>No ma'am we're musicians.
>>222486692HIT IT!
>>222479798The fuck are you talking about. The whole movie is full of memorable lines and scenesHoly shit fuck off you cunt
>The use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers HAS been approved.
>>222486692HAHAHAHAHHA OMG SO MANY FUNNY LINES!!!!! Oh wait, the movie wasn't funny. it was a shitty musical.
>>222479736Was Aykroyd the most responsible for Ghostbusters?
>>222488203He made it kino by being a true autist.
i loved her scenes
>>222488203No. Ramis reigned in his crazier impulses. Reitman knew what to focus on with direction, and then Murray just acted like he didn't want to be there (mostly because he didn't want to be there and was only doing the movie to get Razor's edge made), and Ernie hudson showing up for a paycheck playing a guy showing up for a paycheck. Really is an ensemble production. Just look at Ghostbusters 2 for proof of it being lightning in a bottle.
>>222488192Aww you're trying so hard, have this last (You) on me.

>>222481801I feel sorry for any lady I meet named jane because I will have to constantly use every erg of will power and impulse control to not respond to everything she says with "Jane you IGNORANT slut"
>>222488276Ghosbusters 2 had some really good parts to it, but a big issue that came about was they tried to make it more PG for mass appeal and went for a pretty dumb angle of people suddenly just hating them before the movie takes place.
>>222488192It was in fact a great musical.
Its sad that the crazy filmmaking filming style of Landis ultimately killed his career. He definitely had a strong vision
>Dan Aykroyd lost it at one point during shooting on the Paramount lot. In full "Conehead" attire, the actor threw a mega screaming fit at the studio's Melrose Avenue gate after his personal wardrobe person was reprimanded by a security guard for busting the lot's 8-mile-an-hour speed limit. Aykroyd was so peeved after the incident - and after hearing that one of his production assistants was given a hard time when he tried to enter the lot late one night - that he burst into the guard station and trashed it. He threw everything on the floor, pulled one of the phones out of the wall, threw papers, knocked the computer on the floor and held the button down on the wooden arm (that lets the cars in) and started motioning incoming cars to 'please come right in ... welcome to Paramount Pictures.' A female security guard witnessing the incident got so upset that she hyperventilated and had to go to the lot's infirmary. At one point during his tirade, Aykroyd commandeered one of the studio's golf carts and drove around screaming and cursing.
>>222488263>she's got a coke fingernailwtf was she thinking.
>>222488413Sometimes I get pretty depressed we'll never have kino like this again where it's all real locations. I love pretty much every scene that they're outside and on the streets in the movie.
>>222488442Unfathomably based.
>>222488449Thinking about coke, as at the time she was doing a lot of it.
>>222488470I agree. Fuck the unions.
>>222488370the joke is "what if Toshiro Mifune was your diner cook" and it's funny.
>>222479736The nun basically driving them down a flight of stairs because neither one will stop swearing is the best joke I've ever seen in a movie. It perfectly sets up the tone and comedic style of the rest of the film.
>>222488442Kingly.
It wasn't a competition.
>>222487942Veinkman is just Bill Murray. Belushi would have been an entirely different character. He would have fucked Zuul Dana though
>>222488192>>222479798If it wasn't full of blacks and Jews it would have been completely forgotten.Most people are too dumb to understand what a forced meme this dogshit movie is.
>>222487942Venkman was supposed to be played by John Candy, but he wanted to do the character with a thick German accent.
prety good movie
>>222489611Shame they lost the original film reel for these scenes, the highlights are absolutely fucked in all of these scenes.
>>222489514wash the sand out of your pussy
>>222479736>Aykroyd was funnier than Belushi.Was. They have been about even since 1985.Ghostbusters was his last good starring role. Although Sneakers was fun, it was smaller part.>>222479798One unused prophylactic. One soiled.Delivered by the great Frank Oz.>>222481836Fuck, it is.>>222485892I once heard Akroyd say something like 'old blues musicians dressed that way to fit in with the squares', which was what Cab Calloway's character was doing. What his young wards didn't understand was that Cab was out of touch and that adopting these outfits made them stand out even more. They created the characters in the 70's and you could get away with almost anything *except* wearing a suit and tie. That was the joke. The cut of the suits was also very much out of fashion at that time. The lapels were much too small.>>222487942>>222489573Not quite. Candy would have played Rick Moranis's role. He was the original choice, although I think Moranis fucking nailed it. In a film filled with great portrayals he stole several scenes.Eddie Murphy was planned to star in an early version. Hudson said that was the script he read for. He claimed the role was cut down a lot by the time filming started. Aykroyd downplayed that and said the original plan was for three Ghostbusters, with Murphy taking Balushi's role. When he dropped out Murray made the role his own. The 4th ghostbuster was added to be an audience surrogate. Someone to ask the questions and receive exposition. That was the role Hudson read for and it was cut down for time and flow reasons. Might also have gotten Reginald VelJohnson as Winston. He read for the part also and got cast as a jail guard.>>222488203Aykroyd had great ideas but can't write scripts. His two best films, the Blues Brother and Ghostbusters, were co-written with others. Ramis stated that II was made specifically because they got offered a lot of money. Spies like Us, Dragnet, Nothing but Trouble, and Coneheads were just awful.
>>222490023>Candy would have played Rick Moranis's role. He was the original choice, although I think Moranis fucking nailed it. In a film filled with great portrayals he stole several scenes.I think Candy would've been just a bit too much star power for the movie and probably overwhelmed it. Moranis was pretty much the perfect pick for it, I can't imagine it any other way honestly.>Aykroyd had great ideas but can't write scripts. His two best films, the Blues Brother and Ghostbusters, were co-written with others.Such is the case with a lot of greats. Sometimes they just need someone to filter out the great ideas from the bad ones.>Spies like UsIt had some good parts. It suffered a little from some bad writing, but I wouldn't call it an overall bad film. It's somewhat forgettable though and very of its time.
>>222479736Yes.
>>222489162Jake: Well then... I guess you're really up Shit Creek.>WACK!Sister Mary Stigmata: I beg your pardon, what did you say?Jake: I offered to help you... You refused to take our money. Then I said: I guess you're really up Shit Creek!>WACK!Elwood: Christ, Jake. Take it easy man.>WACK!Jake: Oh shit!>WACK!Elwood: Jesus Christ!>WACK!Jake: Shit!>WACK!

>>222480041Just watch it. Thank me later.
>>222490357I know it sounds retarded to say but I love how the movie doesn't have some obnoxious color grading shit going on, it all just looks natural and real.

>>222490393What was her fucking problem?
>>222490357>>222490458The Chrysler 440 Magnum. A 7.2 liter big block V8 with a four barrel carburetor and dual exhausts. Detuned from the factory for emissions it made about 220 hp (164 kW) net in 1974 but Elwood definitely would have corrected that. These engines could make 400+ hp easily with very little work. Still, these cars weighed about 4,450 lbs (20180 kg) and only came with a 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission.
>>222488442>A female security guard witnessing the incident got so upset that she hyperventilated and had to go to the lot's infirmaryWell there's your problem, Paramount
>>222489514It was another jews worshipping nigger shit nigger music again. So tiresome and boring. They try so hard to be cool by latching on to a race that tries even harder to be cool. Both fail miserably.
>>222479736Belushi was never funny.
>>222488442I like him even more now
>>222480031That whole car chase through the mall scene is just pure nostalgia for me. Takes me back every time I watch it. Indoor car dealerships? Yep, that was a thing back then.
>>222480041The music in Blues Brothers was very carefully selected in order not to turn-off people who aren't familiar with or who aren't fans of Blues music.I think less than half of the songs played by the Blues Brothers Band in the movie actually qualifies as Blues music. They play more Country/Western than Blues songs, in fact. >I don't like Country/Western music either!No, but you like the Rawhide theme song. Everybody does.
>>222480596>bend over let me see you shake your tail featherHow can he see it if he's blind?
>>222488442Pity no one filmed it, footage of an unhinged Akroyd on a rampage in a golf cart with a giant dick on his head would be essential viewing
>>222490393That sounds like a version of the Clue board game I'd like to play.
>>222491141The same way he can see well enough to shoot a snub-nosed .38 revolver in the general direction of a would-be shoplifter without hitting the thief or the merchandise.If you think he's blind, try slipping him the wrong denomination of bills as payment and watch what happens to your trifling ass.
>>222490140>Wrong glass, sir
>>222491164Someone probably did and has it somewhere. Akroyd himself most likely has a copy of is too. Watches it from time to time to relive the glory days.
>*you're* the good ole boys?!? ...
>>222479736I don't understand why any of this is funny.
>>2224917354 fried chickens and a coke
>>222491122Bro, you are out of your fucking mind. She Caught the Katy, Sweet Home Chicago, Somebody Loan Me a Dime, Shake Your Moneymaker, Boom Boom, Boogie Chillen', and Let the Good Times Roll are Blues songs. On top of that Gimme Some Lovin, Shake a Tail Feather, and Everybody Needs Somebody to Love are Rhythm & Blues songs. Minnie the Moocher and Peter Gunn are Jazz. Think, Hold On, I'm Comin', and I Can't Turn You Loose are Soul. The Old Landmark is Gospel.Only Your Cheatin' Heart, Stand by Your Man, and Rawhide are Western. There was the same number of rock and roll songs in the film: I'm Walkin', Jailhouse Rock, and Just the Way You Are (soft rock, but still)
>>222491879Sounds bretty good
>>222491122All music comes from the bluesAnd everyone has had the blues
>>222491122>actually qualifies as Blues music.I don't think you understand how broad of an umbrella blues is, or how its foundational DNA to other genres of music. The rolling stones are a blues band. https://youtu.be/3zrRgM5WKiM?si=AHy4V2Rqk6vDhGnf
>>222491959Why do I expect the Squidbillies to show up
>>222488097they never said that
It is weird to see all these beloved classics become those cringe forgotten oldies, like what happened to elvis, buster keaton and the three stooges. You still seem them mentioned here and there by boomers with stuff like "They were the best, funny forever" or "My grandpa introduced me to this and ill never forget". Not even trying to dunk on old stuff, im sure one day itll be some 75 year old melineial talking about Darude - Sandstorm being "the shit, totally radical" while the kids are going "yeah grandpa, im trying to flipglorp with my zromgrommies in the 5d foritverse" and popping off into some bizarre future tech we cant even imagine.
>>222492341oops i skipped fixing millennial. even stuff like autocorrect is probably gonna be this weird old thing grandpa talks about, like future kids are gonna care when they are using direct brain to brain telepathy or whatever.
>>222491899Hey dude, did you notice I said "songs performed by the Blues Brothers Band," and not "songs in the movie, The Blues Brothers?"They don't play She Caught the Katy, they don't play Somebody Loan Me a Dime, they don't play Boom Boom, they don't play Peter Gunn, they don't play The Old Landmark.I don't even know why I bother to use such precise and specific language when I speak and write, because guys like you always fly off the handle half-cocked without an idea in Hell of what the fuck I actually said. >>222491959>The rolling stones are a blues band.First of all, what a crock of shit. Second of all, that wouldn't have anything to do with my post or the topic of this thread even if it wasn't a crock of shit.Do you just believe everything you hear, or do you just believe anything that pops into your head?
>>222491943Yeah, and "The Blues" comes from Irish folk music.And everyone has had Irish Folk.
>>222493136>Hey dude, did you notice I said "songs performed by the Blues Brothers Band," and not "songs in the movie, The Blues Brothers?">The music in Blues Brothers>by the Blues Brothers Band in the movie

I'm still impressed how this movie gave Cab Calloway a brief career resurrection like 35 years after bigband went out of style.
>>222484172You need to understand that no one, in the whole world,wants to hear your opinion, Jeet Fag.
>>222490507Pump and dumped
>>222491020Akroyd seemed to have a thing about promoting blacks in his movies even to the point where it made no point for the story and they were just shoehorned in for the sake of it.
All this blues stuff made me want to go back to the national blues museum in St. Louis but then I remembered I can't anymore since it closed after Trump slashed museum grants.
>>222493686>slashed museum grants.its weird that its the same side always crying about cultural genocide that seems most hell bent on doing it themselves
>>222493457>this movie gave Cab Calloway a brief career resurrectionDid the same for James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and Ray Charles. Gave the blues brothers band a gig touring with Dan for decades after, as well.
>>222493867I know, but Calloway is funnier to me because he was famous back in the 30s. While Franklin and Brown scored their hits in the 60s.
>>222479736Neighbors is their best movie together where each play's against type!!!FACT!!!
>>222487800Are you me?
>>222494320Also Urethra Franklin NEVER went out of style. Every generation rediscovers her and goes "Damn, that bitch can sing!"

this is going to sound retarded but were they even meant to be biological brothers or were they just raised in the same orphanage?

>>222479736i don't get the belushi legacy at all he was in like 2 funny movies, this and animal housei really don't know how he was revered as some godfather of comedy outside of the fact he simply died young
>>222498192>this and animal houseNeither of which were very good
>>222498218BB is nice watch for me but i don't care for the music much at all even thought it's whole point
COUNTLESS retarded niggers in here who don’t appreciate The Blue Brothers for what it is, a comedic masterclass. Also, some of the best musics numbers ever committed to film are in there as well.
>>222498382>COUNTLESSits mostly one upset indian who doesn't understand why his goofy movies about dancing clowns aren't treated like the blues brothers.

this one scene of 3 guys walkin' down a hallway has more soul and thought put into it than anything made in the last 20 years prove me wrong
>>222493136>They don't play She Caught the KatyMoron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5xexv-dMrM>>222498192It is mostly his run on SNL. Same with Aykroyd. Aykroyd had three good starring roles (this, Trading Places, and Ghostbusters) plus a few good smaller roles here and there. Even if Belushi had lived, even if he pulled a Robin Williams and completely turned it around, I don't think his career would have lasted much longer. He was a product of the time. He briefly stood atop the cultural zeitgeist but I think that would have been over by the late 80's at the latest. Very few people from SNL have had really successful long term careers.
This movie is right up there next to The Great Outdoors as old boomer Akroyd movies my dad made me watch as a kid at least once a month. Eventually learned to appreciate Blues Brothers, but Great Outdoors is just as bad now as it was when I was watching it in the 90s

>>222498968The thing I love most about this is how because of the era, they had to achieve basically everything in-camera. Like dropping an actual car from a helicopter. You get this great shot of Jake coming out of this ethereal light and really it would be a massive lightbank with a scrim in front of it. He would have been roasting under all that heat from the lights.
>>222505068What are you, offended on behalf of the crew of community?
>>222480041It's literally an snl comedy skit you fucking retard.
>>222505068He is at least a medium talent and you are probably just not smart enough to get him.
>>222505767Calm down, Chevy.
>>222501311Bullshit, the last couple blues brothers threads have done just fune
>>222505068Fletch is a cinematic masterpiece and Chevy hits it out of the park.
>>222506871Isn't a bit late for you to be shitposting on /tv/ Chevy?
>>222507865I'm Chevy Chase an you're not.
>>222480041>looks and acts like a dork in sunglassesthey are though
>>222480061I don't think that's a hot take, anon.
>>222488442Kinski would be proud.
>>222495652Luckily the reigned in his ideas too. Apparently the version he really want to perform and have on the soundtrack was the shitty disco version he made of the song but production pushed back hard to have it be a classic big bang version (which he called old fashioned and shitty). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvzMAFraMEA
>>222506871Based. Chevy may be a dick as a person but Fletch is undeniable kino and probably his all time best movie.
>>222479798How often does the train go by? So often you won't even notice it.
>>222504889Millennial here. I saw so many great movies on cable growing it. This came out before I was born and Belushi died before I was born but I grew up loving the Blues Brothers, Animal House, Ghostbusters, Caddy Shake, Stripes, Trading Places, old episodes of SNL and SCTV. All those guys stuff. Tape rental was also huge.We grew up watching generations of old school media that Zoomers couldn't find in the flood of bullshit that came after. They were being born right as that era was ending (1997) and the internet was raising. You then had that magical period before Facebook (2004), Twitter (2006) or Eric Schmidt stepped down as CEO of Google (2011). By the time the oldest Zoomers were 10 years old it was all falling apart. Blockbuster Video peaked in 2004 and was out of business by 2014. The economy went tits up in 2008. Hollywood Video went under in 2010. The last Zoomers weren't even born until 2012. Their media was whatever the Axis of Evil (Facebook, Twitter, Google) decided to show them.They don't remember the physical media era. When there were a dozen major Hollywood studios and even more TV studios making content. When you could make a 'little' movie for 10-30 million and not have to worry about making it all back on opening weekend because the long tail of tape/DVD sales would allow it to turn a profit. When reality TV was just a little genre of MTV bullshit and glorified gameshows. Not literally every fucking thing on television. Where they would take risks, push boundaries, make weird little TV shows. Now, fuck man, if it doesn't do numbers in China they aren't making it.
>>222479798"It wasn't a lie, it was just bullshit"
>>222510121Based, I had the same experience. I loved Blues Brothers, Ghosbusters and Trading Places when I was growing up. Blockbuster was still around so I'd also get to just rent whatever had a cool cover but my parents would pick the other main movies, I was pretty much never disappointed.
>>222505379John Landis may be a murderer but by god is he a great director.
>>222510205I was thinking just the other day after watching some scenes how amazing some shots were of things, it was even of things that don't really appear in movies anymore like stuff that sets the scene or location.
>>222505185>>222504861>>222504864>>222504853You queer fucks will never not stick out like a sore thumb covered in shit.
