Movie Summary
Expanding on their Saturday Night Live characters, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd star as Jake and Elwood Blues, two white boys with black soul. Sporting cool shades and look-alike suits, Jake and Elwood are dispatched on a mission from God by their former teacher, Sister Mary Stigmata (Kathleen Freeman). Said mission is to raise $5000 to save their old church from demolition. In the course of their zany adventures, the Blues Brothers run afoul of neo-Nazi Henry Gibson, perform the theme from Rawhide before the most unruly bar crowd in written history, and lay waste to hundreds of cars on the streets and freeways of Chicago. In case you arent swept up in the infectuous nuttiness of the brothers Blue, you might have fun spotting films legion of guest stars, including James Brown, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, John Candy, Carrie Fisher, Steve Lawrence, Twiggy, Paul Reubens (aka Pee-Wee Herman), Frank Oz, and Steven Spielberg. John Belushis death put an end to hopes for a true Blues Brothers sequel. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
