The movie opens with Jake (John Belushi) being released from jail and his brother Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) is waiting for him in an old beat-up black and white cop car. Right there and then you know – this is going to be a fun ride! Along with Saturday Night Live and Animal House, this movie is John at his best.
