One night only

With Jake's release from Joliet, the two brothers, Jake (John Belushi) and Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) Blues, are back together again. After visiting “The Penguin” (Kathleen Freeman), a nun at their old orphanage, they have a quest to save their old orphanage, which requires the reformation of the Blues Band. We follow them on their quest, kibitzing when we can as they come across many of the musical greats from the past, such as Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, James Brown, etc. Toss in some Chicago neo-Nazis (Henry Gibson), Twiggy, Carry Fisher, and the entire Cook County police force in an intense chase scene. Will the band get together? Will they escape the revenge of Carry Fisher? Will they be caught by the Real “Good Old Boys?” Will they be caught by the Cook County Police force? Will they be able to save the orphanage? Will we have fun and lots of good music? (YES)

Lots of fun

Great music, great rhythm and blues tribute, and great comedy all in one! This edition has extras and interviews about how it was made. Sad part is this was at the height of good movie making in the 80s and today there simply isn't ANY good movie making. Films today stink.
