I love “ a little cartoonish”. Lol. Just wait

A Red Mage Named Blue

And you guys thought Encanto was tough to edit because of the music, this one must have been a nightmare

8bitAndy

John Candy really gets to shine in Uncle Buck and Planes, Trains and Automobiles (among many other movies). I hope we get to see more of him on this channel.

jmundt33a

Doc Brown is in a scene in A Million Ways to Die in the West

john blake

George looks pretty badass in those shades and that hat!

michael clarke

reminded me of a movie from this era, have you done Porky's? worth putting on a poll. ive heard it described as the first raunchy teen comedy, american pie'ish

Jeff K

I hope you guys recognized (even after the fact) Frank Oz at the beginning. The voice of Yoda and Miss Piggy, among many other things. Also, the kid Ray Charles shoots at is Argyle the limo driver from Die Hard. And yes, the band are musicians. In fact, Blue Lou - the sax player - is the inspiration for the sax player in the Muppets band. Also: the tax guy at the end? Steven Spielberg.

Adam Wetstein

This movie saved blues music by introducing it back into the main stream. Also , Yes it was John bulushi singing and that was energy came from massive amount of crap cocaine on the set.

Noobmaster

The Thumbnail is wild :-D

Jeff K

The Blues Brothers originated on Saturday Night Live, but it's a wholly unique situation where it wasn't really a "sketch" because they performed as an actual band every time they appeared on the show, with Aykroyd and Belushi actually singing and performing as the front men, and they actually released records and toured.

Chase Lonnergan

To answer your question about movies appearing in the background of other movies, the first one that springs to mind is Gremlins. In the background of one of the scenes where the father is at an inventors convention the time Machine from the film version of The Time Machine is visible starting up, the shot cuts away to the mom, and when it turns the time machine has vanished in a puff of smoke. I am sure there are more, I just can't think of any right now. I will update if I do.

Kirk Sloan

Someone once described The Star Wars Christmas Special as having been "written by a sentient bag of cocaine". The same could be said of The Blues Brothers.

Odd Thomas

Car chase movies were a whole thing back in the day, particularly in the 70s/80s. Some recommendations: Smokey and the Bandit - classic Burt Reynolds The Driver (big influence on Drive; also great) Dirty Mary Crazy Larry Gone in 60 Seconds (the original, not the Nic Cage one) Vanishing Point (referenced in Tarantino's own car movie Death Proof, which is sooo underrated & you need to watch)

Kinokind

Yes, it's true. I didn't see the Blues Brothers when they toured but a friend of mine did. Like Spinal Tap. there was a general confusion about whether they were a "real" band or not, although both were bands composed of real musicians, not just actors.

Happy Hanukkah

One could claim two of the seminal movies with their car chases were Bullitt (1968, Steve McQueen) and The French Connection (1971, Gene Hackman). Here is C'était un rendez-vous, the legendary 1976 eight-minute feature by Claude Lelouch consisting of a high-speed drive through an empty Paris: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilR93GwSYEA

Nate Gavin

the thumbnail...be-yoo-ti-ful!

Nate Gavin

Simone showing off her hairy chest and mutton chops, while wearing lipstick and Ray Bans, somehow...that works.

Jeff K

@Happy Hanukkah - absolutely, those are basically the two cinema car chases that kicked it all off and against which all others have always been measured. Bullitt's chase is particularly iconic because of the dark green Mustang he's driving, and obviously the fact that it's through the hills of San Francisco. I'm ashamed, as a movie buff, to admit that I've actually never watched The French Connection. I'm also ashamed as a fan of the Popeye's chicken franchise, since it was named for Gene Hackman's character, Popeye Doyle (that's not even me making a joke; that is literally how that restaurant got its name).

Happy Hanukkah

I admit that I myself saw The French Connection for the first time very recently. For such a classic and acclaimed movie, it seems to me to have unjustly sunk into relative obscurity.

Peter Register

Grrr. Spent like 2 minutes trying to sync up to realize i'm watching the youtube cut.

Kinokind

Do movies on marquees count? In Gremlins the theatre Marquee shows "A Boy's Life", which was the working title for producer Spielberg's "E.T.", and in Ghostbusters 2, a marquee shows "Cannibal Girls", which was a very early film directed by Ghostbusters' director Ivan Reitman. There are, of course, others . . .

Robert Cooper

I am just starting it, but like 45% of the fun of this movie is all the cameos. I feel like they are too young to actually recognize all the people anyway. :P

Wrencher86

I hate schmaltz and, as such, usually abhor John Hughes films. But John Candy in "Uncle Buck" is a huge exception. It's terrific.

Robert Cooper

W/R/T collateral damage -- This was definitely making fun of 70s action/comedy stuff where crashing old police cars was like 50% of the budget for a movie. Also, the mall scene was filmed at a mall that was going to be mostly demolished/heavily renovated.

JBK405

You mentioned several times that the film style/quality seemed to shift suddenly in some scenes, as though it was shot differently. I can't say for sure, but I'm pretty sure you watched the Extended Cut version and those were the scenes originally deleted from the theatrical film. They really DID show up differently.

Peter Dillard

The restaurant owner was Aretha Franklin.

Robert Cooper

It's also worth noting, signing with an X was, yes, kind of a sign of illiteracy. "make your mark" was a Jed Clampet thing from The Beverly Hillbillies. Around the time this movie came out, though, you also had the first music video with conspicuous product placement, and it became a joke on its own. https://youtu.be/j8CcTYsMHYU

Danika Silva

Can you do a Brendan Frasier poll? 🇨🇦🤭💯💯🤞👍👌

Brandon Meng

Only if it includes Scrubs all the way through the Brendan Frasier character arc.

mmcelhone157

You should watch Animal House.

@15:05 I asked chatGPT for you, and this is the answer: "The Blues Brothers" movie was released in 1980. As mentioned earlier, the Nazi scene in the film is a fictional creation for comedic purposes and does not directly reference any specific historical events. It is a satirical portrayal of Nazis and their beliefs rather than a depiction of real-world occurrences. "

Kokofoko

@16:40 ChatGPT again for your aid: "the world's largest mural is believed to be the "Guinness World's Largest Mural" created by the Italian artist, Giuseppe Percivati, also known as "Pepe Gaka." This mural spans an area of approximately 28,000 square meters (301,389 square feet) and is located in the city of Oeiras, Portugal."

Kokofoko

@17:20 and again: "'Bread' is a slang term that can mean money or a means of sustenance, so it could imply that Elwood is someone who can be relied upon, perhaps as a supportive and dependable presence in Jake's life."

Kokofoko

@21:17 " I can confirm that the phrase "We're on a mission from God" is said by Dan Aykroyd's character, Elwood Blues, three times throughout the film."

Grinznmore

Take a skit on SNL that's beloved and write it out as a movie. Silly, sometimes crude and nothing more than giving a loyal audience more of what they enjoy. This film introduced many people to Blues music and revitalized some of the great musicians of our times. I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks. I'm sure I'll be watching Coneheads and Stripes now that you turned that rock over.

Chase Lonnergan

I would pay all the money to see that. NOBODY has the guts to react to Porky's. It's one of the most offensive comedies ever made by modern sensibilities. Plus... it would be an absolute NIGHTMARE to edit for YouTube. Unless it was a Patreon exclusive... That would be awesome...

Middy

It's written in the script a total of five times, but I don't have time to check against the film right now.
