The Blues Brothers (4K UHD)
Comedy icons John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd star in the outrageously funny musical comedy The Blues Brothers. After the release of Jake Blues (Belushi) from prison, he and brother Elwood (Aykroyd) take their blues band back on the road in an attempt to raise money for the orphanage where they were raised. Havoc ensues as the brothers seek redemption on their “mission from God.” Directed by John Landis (National Lampoon's Animal House), the soul-stirring comedy classic features musical performances by blues legends Ray Charles, James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Cab Calloway.
Includes both theatrical and extended versions.
Critic Reviews:
- " The Blues Brothers is the year's best film to date; one of the, all-time great comedies; the best movie ever made in Chicago. All are true, and, boy, is that ever a surprise. " – Gene Siskel (Chicago Tribune)
- " With a simple narrative based around the- brothers trying to put together a band and raising money for the orphanage that moulded them with numerous complications along the way there are plenty of chances for viewers to be entertained. " – Dave Sargent (Sydney Morning Herald)
- " A loving musical tribute, a raucous comedy and an amazing demolition derby – The Blues brothers is all these and more. Filmed in and near Chicago, the home of electric blues, it is extravagant pandemonium – continuous and delightful. " – Bob Ross (Tampa Bay Times)
