It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark and we’re wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.
Can't beat the classics

I remember watching this movie when I was around 12 years old. Had never heard of it before just started watching it and loved it. It’s It has become one of my top 3 favorite movies. It also introduced me to the world of the blues and some of the best blues musicians/singers.
I remember buying the soundtrack on CD and playing it over and over again. I think I was the only pre-teen that knew of Cab Calloway and could sing “hi-de-ho” .
wow, I was a weird kid

I thought the same thing at that age, and then my music teacher at the time was like “oh hey fun fact I played Minnie The Moocher with Callaway before he died” and busted out a picture of him with Callaway
He and I both played trumpet so I learned how to play those lines from someone who performed with the legend himself, and Ive always thought that was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done

I have never seen Blues Brothers and, to my knowledge, have never seen this clip. Somehow I still knew almost immediately that this must be from Blues Brothers.
Cultural osmosis is crazy y’all.

It was either gonna be Blues Brothers or Police Academy and I’ve seen Police Academy enough to know it wasn’t

There’s also a scene like this in a French movie, I think it was one of the Taxi films, albeit with Peugeots.

Doesn’t this scene still hold the record for the most number of cars in a car crash scene?
uservoid1@lemmy.world 3 months ago
The original Blues Brothers claimed Most Police Cars Destroyed in a Single Scene record till it sequel deliberately destroyed just one more.
The record for Most vehicles destroyed in a film (non CGI) is 532 for Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011).

This one is a honpurable mention, although not a movie: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1n8F4uClUU&t=111s&pp=2AFvk…

At the time, it held the record of most cars destroyed for a film. That has since been eclipsed various times, mainly by films from the fast and furious franchise. But the current record holder is one of the transformers films.
rockSlayer@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Oh cool, thanks for sharing! I knew the movie held some kind of record for destroying cars, but couldn’t think of exactly what it was. All I can say is that none of those other movies will ever have nearly the same amount of satisfaction with scenes like this

I love this movie and I’m not really much of a movie person. Absolute classic.
Foni@lemm.ee 3 months ago
one of the funniest movies ever
Dagwood222@lemm.ee 2 months ago
For your consideration.
The original ‘The Italian Job’ with Michael Caine and Benny Hill as a computer wizard.

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

My favorite scene from that era.
