Jake and Elwood watch for a moment then enter the Soul Food Cafe. The original Picwood preview included another musical number, "Sink the Bismark", but that footage has been lost. More lines of dialog for Maury Sline in the steam room scene, mostly regarding to the old gigs having been turned into gay discos. When Jake fills up the tank for the Bluesmobile, he overfills it and gas spills over. When they peel out from the station, Elwood flicks a cigarette out of the window and causes the station to explode.
Landis now says he doesn't remember why this particular scene was cut. Before the sound-check Curtis Cab Calloway explains to the band that they need to do it for the kids, since the Blues Brothers will use the money raised from that concert to pay the taxes for a church. The look on the faces of the band after they hear it is priceless! The "Minnie the Moocher" number is considerably extended.
As Jake and Elwood sneak into the show, Elwood takes the chemicals that he stole from the show and sneaks them into the tires of the cop cars. When Jake and Elwood sneak out, the gas in the cop cars tires reacts and causes the tires to explode on some to delay the police. An alternate line of dialog for Carrie Fisher in the sewer when she confronts Jake, about how her father "used up her last favors" with the Mafia for her wedding.
In the original release it was changed due to complaints of the Italian-American community. The lengthy climactic chase to and through Chicago features many extra lines and shots of racing autos. The "assault on Daley plaza" and the Assessor's Office scenes also feature extra lines and shots. The "Jailhouse Rock" number is slightly longer.
As the prisoners riot at the end of the film, there is a brief shot of riot-geared police guards racing into the mess hall that has been added. It changes the end of the film subtly. The "cast of characters" and end credits are extended to accommodate the new footage. User reviews Review. Top review. NO other movie like it has ever been made! Where to begin?

Top Gap. By what name was Blues Brothers officially released in India in English? In a documentary for the 25 th Anniversary Edition of The Blues Brothers , John Landis recalled a time where he had an altercation with Belushi after he flushed his cocaine, but they reconciled rather quickly. Aykroyd introduced Belushi to the blues and, soon after, they decided to create their own band that was based on two characters with a love of two things: Chicago and the blues.
The script was originally pages, which Landis had to trim down after he got ahold of it. The actor was helped by an orthopedist and then pushed himself through the scene. While The Blues Brothers is now a cult classic, certain movie theaters refused to play the movie when it was first released.
Anybody who lived in Chicago when Belushi was acting knew how loved the actor truly was. Belushi loved Chicago and the city loved him back. According to a story Aykroyd told to Vanity Fair, Belushi once wandered off set and was welcomed into the home of a complete stranger. And I thought I should probably marry him. He was of course the man behind Yoda , who made his debut in The Empire Strikes Back , which debuted one month earlier, and was still number one at the box office when The Blues Brothers premiered and had to settle for second place.
Universal later generated a PR effort to get Aretha Franklin an Oscar nomination for her performance. The movie helped revitalize her career. Paul Reubens—the actor who would become best known as Pee-wee Herman — played a waiter at Chez Paul, before the band is fully back together. Aykroyd followed a grassy path to a house with a light on one late night during production, looking for his co-star. He discovered that a man had allowed Belushi into his home to take advantage of a full fridge and sleep on his couch.
The Blues Brothers is a comedy classic today, but not everyone was a fan upon its initial release.
