Unlike the Blues Brothers, Travis Bell isn't exactly on a holy mission.
The 32-year-old Indianapolis man is trying to return to the film's locations and simulate as many stunts as he can in his Bluesmobile replica car, a 1974 Dodge Monaco signed by Dan Aykroyd.
His friends are filming the stunts for a DVD he plans to sell on the Internet -- "Return to Chicago 2005.'' A preview is posted at www.blues brotherscentral.com.
So far, Bell has driven across Daley Plaza and pulled up on the sidewalk in front of the County Building, just as the Blues Brothers did. He's raced down Lake Street at 70 mph and driven across the same beach the Blues Brothers crossed in Wauconda. He's also torn through the inside of the abandoned Dixie Square Mall.
Unlike the movie, all of his stunts have been done without permission from any authorities.
"We're maniacs,'' he admits.
LOL!!
Don't give him any ideas -- LOL!
This is a little off-topic, but I'm watching Primary Colors on AMC and they just had a graphic while cutting to a commercial equating the characters with Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, James Carville, etc.
I thought that was odd because the filmakers have denied it.
I meant to post #43 to you!
Mysterious lady: You miserable slug. You think you can talk you're way out of this? You betrayed me.
Jake: No I didn't. Honest. I ran outta gas. I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locust's. It wasn't my fault, I swear to God!
They had to, at the time, to get it made. Of course everyone saw right through that. Or maybe it was tongue-in-cheek. Nobody was believing those denials, were they?
But now AMC can say their commercial is satire and get away with it.
I never did; still, I thought it was rather odd.
Comic relief.
Comic relief.

Definitely. Me and Cyborg've got to slide on down to the Triple Rock and catch Reverend CLEE-ophas.
LOL
ROTFL omg
I LOVE that movie!
One Halloween, my friend and dressed up as Jake and Elwood.
Since I was tall, I got to be Ellwood. From that day on, some called me the bastard son of Ellwood Blues.
Just to post to this thread, I had to use up the last of my favors with Mad Pete Trollo...
This one in particular really struck my funny bone.
LOL!
