Product description

Blues Brothers double bill. In 'The Blues Brothers', brothers Jake and Elwood (John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd) have sold their souls to rhythm'n'blues, but still lend a hand when the church orphanage in which they were raised is threatened with closure. Resolving to stage a fund-raising gig with their old band, they have God on their side but everyone else against them. Packed with car chases, music and cameo appearances (including Ray Charles, James Brown, Aretha Franklin and John Lee Hooker). In 'Blues Brothers 2000', Elwood emerges from a long stretch in prison to find the world has changed: his partner Jake has gone, the band have broken up and the orphanage where he was raised has been demolished. However, meaning is brought back to his life when he embarks upon a mission to save the soul of a wayward youngster. The band must be reconvened, with the help of a new recruit (John Goodman), in order to compete at Queen Moussette's Battle of the Bands whilst avoiding the attentions of the police. As in the first film there are cameos from a host of blues and soul musicians.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Your mission from God? Buy This!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 June 2001
    Wow! The Blues Brothers, when released in 1980 set a benchmark for comedy. It was not only laugh out loud funny, it was packed with tunes that have stayed with us through the years and made the Blues Brothers a cult classic. Whilst the unfortunate death of John Belushi meant that he was in no shape to be in the sequel, it still delivers, if without the winning partnership of Jake and Elwood. Who cares if it is slightly flawed though. at this price for both you'd be mad not to buy them. It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. HIT IT!
