I just don’t have the words to describe how awesome this movie is to folks who haven’t seen it. It’s a must-watch.

Awesome soundtrack with
Very many celebrity cameos, and some you won’t even notice until you google them
Funny and bad things happening to Nazis
Cops looking like fools
Folks who would today be magas looking like fools
Late 70s/Early 80s kinda ribald humor
Over the top car chases (see OP)
Carrie Fisher
An actual mission from God (in the context of the film)
John Belushi at his best
Dan motherfucking Aykroyd
The Blues Brothers
Almost bizarrely, a positive message

    How do you know they’re not multi-tasking?

    “This is car… uh, hey, what car are we?”
    
    “Five. Five.”
    
    “This is car 55… uh, we’re in a truck.”

    I always wondered what an orange whip was. I’ll go google that

    I’m pretty sure they just didn’t want to say Orange Julius. That was the big brand at the time, and it was amazing. Looks like they are still around, but I don’t know if they have been enshittified. www.orangejulius.com/en-us/
    
    It was just a frothy orangey creamy cold drink - not icy like a slurpee or icee, just very cold and frothy. Somehow amazing.

With almost non stop cartoonish mayhem anarchy ignored by all characters. A superb movie!

Cops looking like fools (to be fair, that’s nearly every movie of this era)

My favorite scene from that era.

“What is it?”
“A little fly shit.”
