The Blues Brothers is a 1980 American musical action comedy film directed by John Landis. [4] It stars John Belushi as "Joliet" Jake Blues and Dan Aykroyd as his brother Elwood, characters developed from the recurring musical sketch " The Blues Brothers" on NBC's variety series Saturday Night Live. The script is set in and around Chicago, Illinois, where it was filmed, and the screenplay is by Aykroyd and Landis. It features musical numbers by rhythm and blues (R&B), soul, and blues singers James Brown, Cab Calloway (in his final feature film role), Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Chaka Khan, and John Lee Hooker. It features non-musical supporting performances by Carrie Fisher, Henry Gibson, Charles Napier, Kathleen Freeman and John Candy. The "The Old Landmark" number is considerably longer, incorporating more dance sequences and extra verses. The lengthy climactic chase to (and through) Chicago features many extra lines and shots of racing autos.

These Blues Brothers posters are an iconic representation of the cult classic movie from 1980. Featuring Jake and Elwood Blues, these posters showcase images from their epic quest to reunite their blues band and raise money for the Catholic orphanage where they grew up. With bright colors and funky designs, these posters will be a great addition to any home or office space!

At Aykroyd's demand, soul and R&B stars James Brown, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin were cast in speaking parts to support musical numbers built around them. This later caused friction in the production between Landis and Universal, as its costs far exceeded the original budget. Since none of them except Charles had any hits in recent years, the studio wanted Landis to replace them with—or add performances by—younger acts, such as Rose Royce, whose " Car Wash" had made them disco stars after its use in the 1976 film of that name.
