Stupidity: After all the singing and dancing at the Tent Revival, Lt Elizondo yells at her fellow officers "It's a Trick, they've brainwashed the Captain, get 'em." Considering her and everyone else just witnessed the Captain float into the sky surrounded by fireworks and miraculously change into a black suit her "brainwashing" assumption is truly stupid.

Directed by: John Landis
Starring: John Goodman, Dan Aykroyd, Frank Oz, Tom Davis, Walter Levine
Revealing mistake: In the big impressive car crash, it is quite clear that most of the cars are empty.
Elwood Blues: Stay away from drugs, gangs, and cyberporn on the Internet and you can be President of the United States some day.
Trivia: When Dan Aykroyd and John Goodman drop off the Russians, the Perry Mason theme music is playing. Nia Peeples (Lt. Elizondo) was in a Perry Mason TV movie in 1990 (The Case of the Silenced Singer).
Question: What does Buster mean that he'll be put in a foster home with people who don't love him? What's gonna happen to him if he lives with them?
Answer: Foster homes are meant to be temporary. While, hopefully, foster parents will be kind and caring to the children in their charge, they cannot form overly strong attachments that would only cause emotional trauma for a child when they transition to another living situation.

Answer: He was just saying it pessimistically. Although, depending on which reports you read, 1 in 3 children are abused by their foster parents. In addition, many children in the system also get placed into several different homes during their childhood (since fostering children is not the same as adopting them), leaving the children to feel unloved by their foster parents.

I don't know the frequency with which it actually happens, but there are also neglectful foster parents whose sole motivation is the monthly stipend from the state, rather than a genuine interest in their wards' well-being.
