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

“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.”

What’s the movie?

Thank you for asking this question instead of ripping a fart.

How do you know they’re not multi-tasking?
toynbee@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s a fair point.

LOL, sorry I forgot it wouldn’t be obvious to everyone.
The Blues Brothers
