Ratings and reviews

Cons: Pretty long, sweary and not that great looking. Pros: Hilarious depiction of law enforcement, Carrie Fisher with an RPG, the cameos of legends and of course, the fabulous music, which is not my usual thing but it's catchy as heck! And some of the camera work was great! One of the best scenes was when the Blues Bros encouraged Trump supporters to jump off a bridge: Sigh, if only ;D Not one I'll buy, but glad to see it, especially since you can see its influence on future movies - the way Ace Ventura parks, Bill & Ted's time machine, even the line that would forever belong to Ghostbusters a few years later uttered by Ackroyd himself! Definitely worth a watch, at least once!

I thought this film sounded terrible when in 1st came out in 1980 then i was given a VHS copy in the 80's and I sat watching it with my mouth stuck open! simple epic John Landis at his peak! But why have google attached the image from the worst film ever Blues Brothers 2 a much old Dan Aykroyd is testimony to them not knowing what they are doing! Guess they found the image by Googling it so it must be correct!!!!

A great classic toe tapping comedy movie from the 80's. There's a cast of massive music stars too; stars such as Aretha Franklin, Stevie wonder & James Brown. Beware that it was filmed on actual film so don't complain about picture quality or stereo sound.
