love this flick, I was a kid when it came out. I went to boot camp at Great Lakes in 82, there was a guy there who just lived the Ellwood charactor. Had a bluesmobile, had the suit, played a mean harp...good times!
In a scene restored to the DVD release, Elwood parks the Bluesmobile in a tiny Chicago Transit Authority storage shed underneath a bank of transformers for the CTA trains. Dan Aykroyd had written this as part of an elaborate scene showing the Bluesmobile being "charged up" by the transformers to explain how the car could perform its impossible stunts. Director John Landis discarded the complicated explanations, saying, "It's just a magic car!"
I didn't know till many years later that homosexuality ran rampant through Nazism.
This line is reference to American Nazi Frank Collin, of the Skokie, Illinois protest fame, for his '79 arrest for being a homosexual pederast. Two decades later the joke suddenly made sense.
@RandallFlaggNY : The Illios Nazis are wearing the same brownshirst as the SA. Homosexuality was fairly common in the SA. The SA were disbanded when Hitler felt that the SA were no longer necessary and had the Black uniformed SS to arrest and execute the SA leaders
Flying off the unfinished Milwaukee I-794 Hoan Bridge through a portal in space-time, down through the Chicago downtown skyline.. it was a great movie - gotta love the dreaminess of it!
@sarnow76 When you "throw a rod," it means that one of these rods has literally broken off. When that happens, one of two things occurs. If the rod breaks while the piston is on its way up, the piston keeps going up until it jams itself permanently into the cylinder head. If the rod breaks while the piston is coming down, the broken rod can pierce a hole right through the engine block Either way, the engine is instantly ruined
@BIGnEASY350400 : Suspend your disbelief, man! This is a fun movie, filled with ridiculous, non-realistic situations and people. What about when the car backs up and inadvertently does a backflip without even hitting anything? Realistic? No. But FUNNY AND FUN!
@ITILII Never seen those movies. And pre-emptive strike before possible flamefest: My previous statement was mentioned only from my point of view, not a proffesional angle, nor everyone else's.
0:09 since I saw this move it amazed me how none of the cars actually crashes with the bottles from the left. I wonder if this was on purpose :|. cause I think thats a WIN for the bottles!
LOL I was driving down the road today when I saw some idiot throw a rod. Either that or he was driving with no oil. HUGE plumes of blue smoke from the engine. I immediately thought of this scene
i had no idea there were flying cars back then lol :) it's so funny how they used cartoon logic, flipping cars 60 feet in the air, a car smashing through the pavement ect.
@MrAirbuster57 Wonder why they used so many Fords but no VWs, could be because Ford supplied the nazis with trucks in WWII and Hitler was a fan of Henry Ford. Shoot, now Ford spies are going to harass me.
This is such an *awesome* movie. I bought three copies of the video so far. One of the best films that was ever made, maybe second only to Blazing Saddles.
I always remembered that at 11:00 they all miss those bottles on the ground , subtle humour?
