The Blues Brothers (1980) - Paying the Price Scene (9/9) | Movieclips

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Jake (John Belushi) and Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) pay the church's taxes, but are eventually caught by a storm of armed officers.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Expanding on their Saturday Night Live characters, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd star as Jake and Elwood Blues, two white boys with black soul. Sporting cool shades and look-alike suits, Jake and Elwood are dispatched on a "mission from God" by their former teacher, Sister Mary Stigmata (Kathleen Freeman). Said mission is to raise $5000 to save an orphanage. In the course of their zany adventures, the Blues Brothers run afoul of neo-Nazi Henry Gibson, perform the theme from Rawhide before the most unruly bar crowd in written history, and lay waste to hundreds of cars on the streets and freeways of Chicago. In case you aren't swept up in the infectuous nuttiness of the brothers Blue, you might have fun spotting film's legion of guest stars, including James Brown, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, John Candy, Carrie Fisher, Steve Lawrence, Twiggy, Paul Reubens (aka Pee-Wee Herman), Frank Oz, and Steven Spielberg.

I love the fact that in the end, they didn't even seem that bummed about going to prison. They were just happy to help the orphans

[TheVoiceOfReason]

"All units: The use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers has been approved."

[lucase.garcia]

This is the best recreation of the six stars of the GTA that I have ever seen.

[malphone]

0:05 I love how they all briefly go quiet to see if the elevator is working and them start yelling again as they charge up the stairs.

[pilotmanpaul]

A legendary scene where the National Guard, SWAT, City Police, Highway Patrol, Sheriff, and Firefighters join together to stop two men who ran a red.

[quillmaurer]

What makes this movie so amazing is that it takes a simple, slightly cliche premise and takes it absurdly over the top. When my church's minister (who is obviously a huge fan of this movie) said that a movie about two brothers on a mission from God to play music to save their orphanage broke the record for most cars destroyed in a movie production by a huge margin, I thought that didn't make sense. Having seen the movie, it really doesn't make sense, but that's what's so great about it.

This scene is especially great. They are extremely over-the-top screwed, but they don't care. They accomplished their mission.

[AWC]

"I want every unit, after the Blue Brothers"
"Everyone?"
"EVERYOOOONE!!!!"

Those soldiers must be in GREAT shape! They can run up 11 flights of stairs while shouting.  ;)

[Fracture]

This is the ONLY movie I can watch again and again and NEVER get bored of it.

[ForgottenHonor]

After this movie, all the SWAT teams of America universally agreed that they would never be caught saying "Hut! Hut! Hut!" again.

[MichaelLee-ttgm]

0:04: War cry
0:05: Everyone stops to see if the elevator is coming;
0:07: War cry resumes
LMAO!

[Society.]

Fun fact: The guy eating the sandwich is Steven Spielberg

[graysonjxy]

"Infinity war is the most ambitious crossover ever."

U.S. Guard/Firefighters: Say sike right now

[Madcapredcap]

"Please do not attempt to move, or we will be shooting ourselves."

[LPJack]

RIP and long live John Belushi (January 24, 1949 – March 5, 1982), aged 33
You will always be remembered as a legend.

[vladskiobi]

Imagine a conversation with a person watching this clip who's never seen Blues Brothers:

"Holy shit, what did they do!? Mass murder?"
"Nope"
"Were they top Mafia members? Drug Kingpins?"
"Nah"
"Then what!?"
"One of them had a suspended driver's licence"

[TankerBankerESU]

general: so how many troops do you want to go after the blue brothers?
president: *"Y E S"*

[cobraking]

2:51 POV: you are at a class reunion and everyone recognizes you as the student who reminds the teacher about homework.

[malachiwalker]

the new wanted level system, 10 stars: SEND EVERYONE

[TooCooFoYou]

That moment when you realize the clerk was played by Steven Spielberg...
