Directed by: John Landis
Starring: Dan Aykroyd, John Candy, Carrie Fisher, John Belushi, Cab Calloway
Continuity mistake: In the deleted scene where Elwood goes into the manager's office to quit, right before he walks in the door he sets his briefcase down, it is slightly crooked and in the center of the floor. When he goes to leave it is sitting straight and further to the left. (00:42:45)
More quotes from The Blues Brothers
Trivia: Little Richard was asked to appear and perform in the film; he declined because at the time the film was made, he was only performing gospel music, as opposed to the secular music from his early career.
Question: What tune is being played during the mall scene, and again when Cab Calloway introduces Jake and Elwood on stage? (I've heard it many times before, most recently in promos for the 2004 Major League All-State Game.).
Answer: It's 'Can't Turn You Loose,' often refered to as the Blues Brothers Theme.
Also done much earlier by Otis Redding.

Correction: The Illinois state troopers depicted in this film didn't care about jurisdiction when it came to apprehending Jake and Elwood; the fact that they showed up at the gig near the end of the film said to be 106 miles north of Chicago, placing it in Wisconsin, is evidence of this as well.
