The Blues Brothers (1980): 20 Things You Never Knew!

The disco version of Minnie the Moocher is horrendous. So glad it wasn’t used!

The movie was of many genres. Action, comedy, drama, musical, spiritual. I think this is why it appealed to so many people. Such an epic.

I remember the good times we had on car forums discussing the best car chase movies ever. It always ended with the Blues Brothers and the original Gone In 60 Seconds..

"I've always loved you" 😆

Ah! Those were the times. I used to go to the Valhalla on Fridays, dressed up with my friends. We considered ourselves the 3rd generation, as we took over from the second generation who took over from the first generation that originally started performing on the stage and shouting lines while the movie played. We'd also all go to the Rocky Horror screenings on late Saturday nights. I ended up getting an old chair and exit sign when the Valhalla shutdown.

O God of divine acceleration, don't fail me now!

Not a bad take for a $27,500,000 budget and a worldwide gross $115,229,890

Graduation Summer. One of my all-time favorites.

F Mann Theaters

Years ago at Best Buy I bought the steelbook. It was the movie I picked to buy. I get it home. There 15 minutes of footage I’ve never seen. “Extended Version”. Now I can only watch the extended. Elwood quits his job. They sabotage the police cars at the gig. If you’re a big BB fan you have to see the extended version.

Might want to check the spelling of the captions first

"See you next Wednesday"

Considering we've never met, that's pretty accurate. There's 19 things I don't know about the Blues Brothers, and 17 of them are here.

Wasn't funny then, not funny now. Unless you're 12.

I do love this movie but it's very bad form for the video to say there were only minor injuries when there was a death in the filming of one scene.

The 21st thing you didn't know. Netflix banned it because they claimed it was cultural oppriation for two white guys forming a blues band.

you forgot a cameo by Joe Walsh. First prisoner to jump on the table at the end.

Goes to show what critics know. The musical performances alone are priceless. Everything about that movie was pure genius. I'm sure mainstream media didn't get it. They create nothing just criticize others that do, pathetic. Pick any movie the critics rave about, and you can be sure its crap.

Great great movie love it

Yeah the music was amazing and to all the musicians that pass may they RIP

Great info but the repetitive and disinterested sounding delivery makes for a difficult listen.

These clowns just ripped off Sam and Dave. I find these guys so cringy.

Some stuff here I didn't know. This channel does a lot of research.

This started out as a spoof skit on SNL. But the stupid ignorant fans took it seriously.

Wow, a film about cucks who worship negroes! Awesome. Boomers must have loved this.

One of the best films ever. A time capsule of legendary talent.

I like the pink, I wouldn't be opposed to also seeing a blue 😂

No, go watch Minty. His videos on movies are the best.

the best RAW HIDE cover ever.

This movie gave my grandfather and I a stronger connection. He grew up on jazz and saw many of the greats live and in person in the UK, where there was no colour bar. His old records where the soundtrack to my childhood.

Untill today i ask myself; why John Goodman?!
Everybody knows there was only actor who could play that part.

Predominantly black cast??!! Willy two bit Hall and Matt Guitar Murphy are 2 of what, 20???

One of my all time favorite movies.

I truly can't imagine a disco version of Minnie the Moocher...

I love this film ❤
I had a VHS tape of it and wore it out😂

It's scary to think how much racism was still knocking about into the 1980s 😢

I'd forgotten how awesome this movie is!

This just shows how movie critics are so out of touch with what real people like and want in a movie...I loathe movie critics...their opinions are about as useful as sidewalk slugs, and leave a lot bigger slime trail.

PEE WEE Hermin was the waiter. ... That being said, Princess Leia holding a M-16 Is pretty damn HOT, maybe hotter than her Jabba Slave Bikini. It's a toss-up!

It was a mission from God.

I hate Illinois Nazis

Blues Brothers? Your kidding me, what about Alan Wilson and Bob Hite from Canned Heat they Were the Real’Blues Brothers’ not these pair of jokers!

The narrator failed to mention Carl Weathers as the diner's line-cook and former band-member; and Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman) as their waiter in the formal dining room.

Those guys had so much power. Neither one could sing for shit yet they put together a band of classic musicians and toured, then made a movie.
They actually got the legendary Brian Wilson to go surfing for a little video, back when he hardly left his house.
My brother saw their show when they came to town, they played two shows, he said it was so good they bought more tickets and stayed to see it again.

Meh, nothing I didn't already know

Great info however the narrator's voice is quite monotone and droning

Aretha Franklin is NOT "one of the greatest singers of all time". Ridiculous statement.

New Oldsmobile's out early this year
