The music truly made this film! Plenty of laughter and good times as we follow these brothers and their mission from God.

The Curl Up and Dye was a real hair salon in Chicago - it's gone now but I went there for years!

Regarding the James Brown church scene, two scriptures come to mind: One is obviously "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord"......but one of my favorites, one I completely forgot about until I was watching this reaction...... 2 Samuel 6:14: "And David danced before the Lord with all his might...." ALL HIS MIGHT!!!! That's some furious dancing! I imagine it might have looked something like this! Elwood was dancing with all his might! :D I love that! If you're going to do it......do it all the way! (for the Lord! :D)

The movie got some blowback for 2 white guys coopting black culture. (This has a happy ending, tbc.) Irony #1 of this: many Southern theatres wouldn't show the film because it had "too many" black people in it. 😤 #2: R&B music just wasn't popular in 1980. The Studio fought to have contemporary, "white" music added (Landis agreed to add a Billy Joel song. It *is* in the movie, good luck finding it.) For the soundtrack, Belushi and Aykroyd were offered a cherry deal. The "older" songs not selling records + record companies having Evil contracts with artists (see Phantom of the Paradise and The Apple 😜)...Belushi and Aykroyd could cheaply purchased the rights from the original song-writers and PERMANENTLY own them. The Blues Brothers said hell na. The artists that crafted the badass blues would retain (and renew!) ownership of their art and get royalty cuts from the soundtrack (which sold well, btw. Especially outside America). "Jake" and "Elwood" woulda made A LOT of loot, legally. But that wouldn't be the Christian thing to do, would it? After all: they're on a mission from God. Hit it.

Blues Bros was the first SNL movie which explains why a relatively low budget (huge car budget though haha) film got such an insane cast.
