The Blues Brothers (1980)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: John Landis
Starring: Cab Calloway, Carrie Fisher, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, John Candy
The brothers are pursued into Chicago by the police, the Good Ol' Boys, and the Nazis. The Good Ol' Boys' Winnebago goes into a river, the police all get into a pile-up, and the Nazis go off the end of an unfinished freeway. They get to the tax office and pay the money the mission needs, but are arrested as they are given their receipt.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the church scene, James Brown is shown placing the microphone back on its stand. Then it cuts to a wide shot of James pacing the stage, mic in hand. (00:23:50)
Police Dispatcher: Use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers HAS been approved.
Question: Did John Belushi do all the dancing, especially the turnovers in church, by himself or was it a double?
