A bit of movie trivia.
01: Director John Landis worked on this film for scale in order to keep the budget down. As did co-stars Dan Aykroyd and John Goodman, against backend deals.
02: In one scene, Cab (Joe Morton) mentions that when the Blues Brothers last performed, they caused damages costing $24 million, which was the budget of The Blues Brothers (1980).
03: 104 cars were wrecked during filming. This beat the previous record of 103 cars wrecked during the making of The Blues Brothers (1980). This record was not broken until 112 cars were wrecked during the filming of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009).
04: The film was dedicated in loving memory of John Belushi, Cab Calloway, and John Candy, all three of whom acted in The Blues Brothers (1980), and all of whom died before Blues Brothers 2000 (1998) went into production. Ironically, Calloway, the eldest of the three, died last at the age of eighty-six, which is older than Belushi's and Candy's combined ages at the times of their respective deaths (thirty-three and forty-three respectively).
