Granted, 19% isn't a lot of votes, but it's still one of my favorite movies, with my favorite line EVER: "Are you the police?" "No ma'am... we're musicians."

Stephen Fortner Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 The scene where a feedback loop is created between Jake and Elwood using cuss words and "The Penguin" whacking them with the ruler for it still has me ROTFL every time. The film just hits so many bullseyes with people who've been in bands. Ya gotta love Ray Charles' going "Well, you know... depreciation" if you've ever gone to the music store wanting to upgrade recently-purchased gear.

fantasticsound Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 As a native Chicagoan, the following is priceless! Elwood: Well, it ain't much, but it's home. Jake: How often does a train go by? Elwood: So often you won't even notice it. It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraub Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Elwood: "It'a 150 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, a half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."

noneverstuck Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 In car plummeting to certain death, Nazi Henry Gibson's deadpan reaction to his assistant's confession: "I've always loved you."

Charlie-brm Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 If the TV station doesn't interrupt the credits, it's over five more minutes of tunes and I keep it on all the way. When I have to wait for something and can't do anything else in the meantime, I sometimes "du du du du dut, dah dah dahhh du du du du dut" that elevator music from near the end when they were going up to pay the tax bill. It's OK to tempt fate. Just don't drop your drawers and moon her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Strat Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Ray Charles with the big .44 revolver when the kid tries to "liberate" that Strat!

Outrider Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I guess it's just age or timing, but whereas a lot of the guitar players I know define their blues education as coming from the era of Creem/Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, or even SRV...my own introduction to the blues was the Blues Brothers. For over a decade, it was all the blues I knew. Even now, their music's always in the car, and I've ven got my kidds hooked on it. Darkon, I must admit on overwhelming jealousy coming over me. I would have loved to have seen them live. Even though they were a cover band, when my band covers those songs, I'm covering the Blues Brothers.

Dan South Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 "What's the chicken wire for?" --- "Orange whip? ... Orange whip? ... Three orange whips!" --- "We're on a mission from God." --- "We're the Good Old Boys. I'm the lead singer, driver of the Winnebago." --- Ray with pistol in hand: "I hate to see a young boy like that gone bad." --- - Some white dude out here just ordered TWO WHOLE chickens. - Jake! - And the other one just order a slice of white toast. - Ellwood! --- Jake's make up scene with Carrie Fisher is always good for a belly laugh. Ditto Matt Guitar Murphy's moment of truth with Aretha. The Black Knight always triumphs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergievsky Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 They ought to line up everyone involved (production wise, not the actors) in Blues Brothers 2000, and have them SHOT! Of course, Paul Shafer needs to be up front and center to take the first bullet. Every concert I do I always play Shake your tailfeather vefore soundcheck...pretend like I'm Ray Charles. Hardly anyone knows it here in the Philippines though... Raul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Paul Shafer needs to be up front and center to take the first bullet. BB2k was one of the most awful travesties in movie sequel history. They had a bunch of big stars singin' and playin', though... BTW...there wouldn't have been a Blues Brothers band without Paul (not the same magical entity, anyway)...he was the original musical director, and was heavily involved in the conception & organization of the band. He was supposed to have been in the movie, but a contract issue kept him from it. S'okay..."Paul and the Magictones" just doesn't sound right. "Quando quando quando quandooooo....."
