Expanded Version With Bonus Footage
After the release of Jake Blues from prison, he and brother Elwood go to visit the orphanage where they were raised by nuns. They learn that the church stopped its support and will sell the place unless the tax on the property is paid within 11 days. The brothers decide to raise the money by putting their blues band back together and staging a big gig. They may be on a "mission from God" but they're making enemies everywhere they go. |

Notes
|
Trivia: Paul Shaffer, who had played with the Blues Brothers during their live shows in the 1970s, was supposed to be the band's keyboardist but Lorne Michaels, having already lost his two biggest stars to this movie, would not let Shaffer out of his "Saturday Night Live" (1975) contract. (more)
Goofs: Revealing mistakes: During the crowd's stony silence after Jake and Elwood's debut at the concert, an extra in the audience can clearly be seen making a face at the camera. (more)
Quotes:
Curtis: Well, the Sister was right. You boys could use a little churching up. Slide on down to the Triple Rock, and catch Rev. Cleophus. You boys listen to what he's got to say.
Jake: Curtis, I don't want to listen to no jive-ass preacher talking to me about Heaven and Hell.
Curtis: Jake, you get wise. You get to church.
