[Taratuff]

AMO QUESTO FILM... "Fix the cigarettes lighter"

[skatepunkzero]

You know if you took a 74 monaco and got the edelbrock power package for the 440 you could make a good drag car out of it.

[zozx]

"This is definitely lower wacker drive"

[foolycooly94]

Bluesmobile > Batmobile

[DanW900]

i want this car! LOL

[nikotus1000]

Fix the cirarets lighter :)

[famoussward]

Those two men persuaded me to spend $300 on a pair of sunglasses ;)

[r3ck0rd]

beside the band... the bluesmobile was a legend too!!

[stevenrollings]

it looks like befor they hit the brige the brackes locked up

[monsterboy31]

P.S. I saw a special feature on the DVD. Dan Aykroyd said that it was supposed to be implied that the reason behind the car's power is how Elwood kept it in that room with the electrical voltage outside his flophouse. The car just absorbed that power.

Watch the feature to understand. It's pretty long I think, though.

[monsterboy31]

This is why my favorite Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas car is a police car.

[SputnikJunior]

It runs good on regular gas!

[nickfrank1]

@MrAirbuster57 haha! priceless...

[gamezonic]

[schiefer66]

Fix the cigarette lighter.

[The45Falcon]

How come Elwood has a cool calm deep voice here but in the sequel he has an annoying high pitched voice?? Why did his voice change all of a sudden?

I don't get it....

[Budalanakub]

@The45Falcon prison :(

[The45Falcon]

@Budalanakub What has prison got to do with it?? :/

[Budalanakub]

@The45Falcon haven't he got out of a prison in the sequel

[DASCO2136]

@The45Falcon in the sequal, he had to take on more of a leader form since between the original and the sequal, John Bellushi died and he was the leader

[boffinme80]

Elwood rocks!!! Both of them do! I love Jake but I love Elwood more mainly because he's such a badass crazy driver!! xD

I was let down by the sequel. Elwood put on weight and wasn't laid back and cool like here. Instead he was the patronizing leader and overprotective father figure of Buster, which to be honest I thought was very cute. But on the other half of Elwood, his whole reputation was ruined. And it just wasn't the same without John Belushi. He and Danny ARE the Blues Brothers!!

[lonkavhobune]

169 people are on the mission from god

[logume1881]

It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's the model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.

[mpower6428]

@MrAirbuster57 elwood blues.....would......

[MrAirbuster57]

@mpower6428 of course he would

[Bluesdirections]

I brought my three year old sister to see this movie in 1980. I was 26. She loved the scene which had the dialogue "My own brother comes to pick me up in a Police Car. " She cracked up.

[hauntedmemorie]

an indianapolis dj name of travis bell built his own blues mobile and went to the same mall and reshot his own version of the scene...he also took some of the tiles from the floor the original bluesmobile burnt out on....the mall has been abandoned since the movie and was scheduled to be torn down...travis also found and restored the original general lee..Lee 1

[EARLYKINGJAMES]

MOPAR OR NO KAR!!! DO YA THANG ELWOOD!!!

[tedsgarage]

That's the 95th Street bridge on the East Side of Chicago. You can see Calumet Fisheries behind Elwood's head at the beginning of the scene. That fish shack is on the south side of the street, so the car would have been facing away from the bridge when that was shot. One of those movie tricks to make the scene more colorful. I met the manager of Calumet Fisheries, who witnessed the stunt. She said they used a ramp.

[88manta88]

"That car had magical powers...."

Baaah...just a 440 Big Block :-)))

[PyrozPlayground]

Fix the cigarette lighter... Epic quote. lol

[toepebble]

I had a hard finding a good clip. I didn't in fact, so I sent a short one. That was the car within a year that I fucked up the yard with.

[Knhtwolf]

I love this movie i know it by heart i made a trip to chicago just because of this movie

[RobiiiN1]

whats the name of that bridge??

[ProfessorIgor]

@RobiiiN1 that is the 95th st bridge

[OhhItsOnlyEmily]

This is the best

[genedene]

chi town classic

[counterclockwise123]

Where can I buy that car?

[OG4LYFEYungD]

@counterclockwise123 What do you mean 'where can I but that car?'? Lol what are you, 10?

It's a Mid 1970's Dodge Monaco. 74-78 I believe, but I'm not sure. Hard to come by now-a-days.

-Derek

[counterclockwise123]

@OG4LYFEYungD it was a stupid question i know. cus the answer is so obvious. you can buy that car at a Mount Prospect police auction

[awolfpack343]

@OG4LYFEYungD haha yeah and plus @counterclockwise, if you ment that exact car from that jump, you cant buy it becuase it was either destroyed in the jump scene, or it was used until the end and either way it was destroyed

[KillerW0mbatt]

COP SHOCKS COP MOTOR

[hilmarguy]

too bad the car falls apart later on in the movie, even though surviving just about everything you can throw at it; psycho exes, Nazis, police and one hell of a ride through a mall.

[counterclockwise123]

@hilmarguy i love the mall scene

[Research0digo]

Foley guys messed up at 0:16

Sounds of heavy brakes skidding - super kewl anyway, thank you for the upload!

[Moustfa26]

My favorite scene was the big car chase in the end! That was legendary!

[Nocstaa]

Fix the cigarette lighter.

[Research0digo]

HAAAAAAAAAAA

[ChiTown7721]

A Chi-Town classic! You can't call yourself a true Chicagoan if you haven't seen this movie.

[lydiad452]

that car takes some serious shit lmao

[Dadssweetpea]

That was Epic !!!!!

[MrSteviePower]

That car had magical powers....Fuckin ace film...

[gewoontimm]

@MrSteviePower just like soul plane

aslong they got the spirit and soul they will keep on going..

[ElementoVolatile]

@MrSteviePower More than magic, Miracles. After all, they were "On a mission from God"

[charger19691]

Anybody know how many dodge Monacos were used in this movie? Nobody seems to know, I don't think this one survived the jump but you never know, maybe they fixed it then kept on rolling..i would love to hear any behind the scenes info about the cars in blues brothers...thanx

[Cudoiv]

The Bluesmobile was a Dodge Monaco 440. They needed 12 cars, and some models too.

[ctperry06]

Some of the cars used for the regular driving scenes had 360s or 400s. They only used the 440 models for "jump" cars. The car that Elwood is driving after the jump probably had a 360. They would have definitely used a 440 for the bridge jump, or a model. I forgot how they did it.

[dve8692]

hahaha, "car's got a lot of pickup"

[kls1724]

BDR529

[rayandreina]

Trivia: BDR529 is code for Black Diamond Riders, a motorcycle club in Dan Aykroyd's hometown of Toronto, Ontario, Canada -- at 529 Jarvis Street.

[EARLYKINGJAMES]

BLUES BROTHERS FOR LIFE!!!

[otev915]

What is this song, in this scene ??? It is not on the "Blues Brothers"movie soundtrack.

[ctperry06]

It actually is on the soundtrack. It's track number 1, "She Caught The Katy." Originally written by Taj Mahal and Yank Rachell, but performed by the Blues Brothers Band in the movie, with Jake Blues(John Belushi)doing vocals.

[7johnnyd]

It's the first song on the soundtrack, "She Caught the Katy".

[Tripp426]

"What do you say, is it the new bluesmobile or what?"

"Fix the cigarette lighter" haha classic.

[javi253]

I fucking love Dan's voice in this movie

[ctperry06]

The greatest part about his voice is that it's not that hard to imitate! I can already do the whole bit where he's talking about the car! "It's got a cop motor, 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks, it's a model made before catalytic convertors so it'll run good on regular gas." It's a classic for sure!

[javi253]

haha that's true, I can do the part where he says "Our lady of blessed acceleration don't fail me now!"

[DORITO773]

thats my neighborhood, i grew up 5 blocks from the 95th street bridge

[Sarge679]

I made a correction

The ship is actually the Crispin oglebay

[Sarge679]

The ship is the Joseph H Frantz

[KaisyuVadin]

The only true blues brother movie !

[cyberyanmar]

it would be cooler if the car backflipped in  mid air before fallin on the other side of the bridge

[kb1425]

twice in one movie? lol

[Chevypower265]

"Ya don't like it?"

"No, I don't like it!"

*Peels out and jumps the draw bridge*

"Cars got a lot of pick up!"

Changed his mind quickly..lol... Awesome movie, a classic that will never get old!

[ethen24]

"Fix the cigarette lighter"

XD

[DanJoeRoscoe]

I lived about a mile from that bridge when I was a kid; if you check out the beginning of the scene, there's a shack behind Elwood. I can't remember the name, but it was a fish place that had GREAT shrimp.

I've seen this movie WAY too many times. :-)

[mnc51]

The name of the song played on this part is called: "She Caught the Katy", sung by The Blues Brothers.  Check out Amazon for the soundtrack...it's track #1

[GILLYRUTH]

Better still learn to play it its only five chords.I carry a guitar in the cab with me then I can play it ,when the yards not open ,or the bridge is opening.

[MIGUEL2005LIMA]

whats  the name of the song???

[KovuchuReborn]

"She Caught The Katy".

[MIGUEL2005LIMA]

thanks, do you know some karaoke version of "she  cought the katy"?thanks again.

[kb1425]

If you download the midi version, it's surprisingly full. Sounds good, and has an actual ending unlike the real song's fade out.

[MIGUEL2005LIMA]

...thanks!

[papabugs71]

I love they way a big block instantly lights up the meats. Factory sure grip in that rig.

[BlackBettysBobo]

[233268]
