Comedy icons John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd star in the outrageously funny musical comedy The Blues Brothers. After the release of Jake Blues (John Belushi) from prison, he and brother Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) take their blues band back on the road in an attempt to raise money for the orphanage where they were raised. Havoc ensues as the brothers seek redemption on their "mission from God". Directed by John Landis (National Lampoon’s Animal House), the soul-stirring comedy classic features musical performances by blues legends Ray Charles, James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Cab Calloway.

Colin Farrell's been getting rave compliments for his portrayal of a terror-inducing Penguin.

But he's nothing compared to the late great Kathleen Freeman. Hers is based on a reality that lingers in the minds of millions of traumatized children everywhere!

We never did find out "How much for thee lit-tell girl". Belushi must have had observed some Weinstein types for that one.

I especially liked the martial arts movie whooshing sound effects.

(They’re) on a mission from God.

All the K-cars crashing it made it.
