Curiosità:

The Head Nazi, played by Henry Gibson, gives a taunting speech to the assembled counter protesters and leads his men in a pledge of allegiance to Adolf Hitler, taken almost word-for-word from the documentary The California Reich (1975).

Errori:

Personale o equipaggiamento visibile: In the final chase with the Illinois Nazis, the Blues-Mobile is flipped upside down. A piece of equipment (evidently to push up the front of the car) can be seen rising from the street and flipping hood of the car backwards.

Citazioni:

Curtis: Do you guys know 'Minnie the Moocher'?
Murph: I once knew a hooker named Minnie Mazola!

Great all round movie!

This is an excellent movie, rich with comedy and music. It's about 2 corrupt brothers, who wish to help a nun. The story starts with Jake (John Belushi) being released from prison, where Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) picks him up. The story proceeds with them trying to honestly earn 5,000 dollars. They start by getting a little "churching up" and then try to put "the band" back together. With them continuing, and playing shows for meager amounts of money, finally get a break, and make a huge gig in a fancy hotel! While avoiding hundreds (literally) of cops, and "They can't catch us--we're on a mission from God". While making friends (and enemies) along the way, providing a side-busting movie! A must have for all good DVD collections!
