More Blues Brothers Trivia!

[Motorhead350]

Alright I know most of us on here are fans of the movie so why not start a form on it and trivia. NOTHING related to Blues Brothers 2000 please. I liked it, but lets stick to the classic. First question: What was the original Bluesmoble?

[GarageMahal]

1974 Dodge Monaco Sedan

What is SCMODS?

Edit: Bonus question: Where is the last known location of the original Blues Mobile?

[Motorhead350]

No not the Dodge the original Bluesmoble. HINT: Jake asks at the begining of the movie.

[shakes_26]

Correction, it was a Caddy, they never specified which one IIRC, but if you're referring to the car that Elwood picks up Jake in at the beginning of the movie that was in fact a 74 Monaco

SCMODS.

State County Municipal Offender Data System

SCMODS.

What was the Address Elwood gave his P.O? (easy for you Chicago fans)

[de minimus]

69 caddy.....me

[Motorhead350]

1060 West Addison, home of the Chicago Cubs. Alright as flyers are being passed out by kids, Cab and The Blues Brothers what song is playing?

[shakes_26]

Hmm memory fading, but I think it was "I'm Walking" by Fats Domino

And who played the guard returning Jake's personal effects when he's being released from jail?

If you mean the 74 Monaco, I think Dan Akroyd's Brother has it.

[duhtroll]

These are easy.

OK, now name the tour band (there are a few different from the movie).

OK, now name the member of the band I've played with. :P

[TAF]

Here's a tough one I learned a few years ago:

In the final scene, during the "Jailhouse Rock" performance at the prison...what famous singer/songwriter/legendary band member jumps up on the table to dance?

[duhtroll]

Some more I thought of:

What is the license plate # of the Bluesmobile?

Where did they REALLY drop that Pinto From?

What shopping mall was it?

(It was going to be the shopping mall near my childhood home but it didn't work out $-wise)

[shakes_26]

zzzooooooot!

TAF and Mr. Continental are correct!


What every elevator had in the late '70s...Musiczak. Nameless, faceless, calming melodies full of hidden messages and subliminal programing. Later became "New Age".

[shakes_26]

Some more I thought of:

What is the license plate # of the Bluesmobile? 529-BDR

Where did they REALLY drop that Pinto From? Well it was dropped from a plane or a helicopter, but the scene was a bridge to nowhere in Milwaukee, since torn down

What shopping mall was it? Old Dixie Square Mall, in Harvey, Il...I think someone here saw them tear it down last year

(It was going to be the shopping mall near my childhood home but it didn't work out $-wise)
keep 'em coming

[shakes_26]

Was it Uncle Toms Tavern over by Stone mountain, wasn't it?

Jake
Elwood
Willie "Too Big' Hall
Matt 'Guitar' Murphy

[shakes_26]

Joe Walsh is the table dancer

I heard about Uncle Toms from a co worker, he was stationed in the ATL years and years ago, apparently the place was pretty notorious for brawls and such. He was also a BB fan, and a trivia nut.

Who was the hot blonde in the Jaguar that Elwood flirts with at the gas staion?

[TAF]

And who was the waiter at the restaurant where they go to get "Mr. Fabulous"?

[shakes_26]

Paul Reubens a.k.a PeeWee Herman


And who was the waiter at the restaurant where they go to get "Mr. Fabulous"?

WHen they get pulled over.

[rvaldez1]

Well, It looks like a bridge one would find in Blue Island, IL. But there are a ton of bridges like that, Western Ave., Division, Etc.


In the begining of the movie, when they are stopped by the state troopers, for blowing a YELLOW light,what wealthy Chicago suburb were they in? (Hint: Nelson Funeral Home on Cumberland and Devon)

[shakes_26]

Twiggy, yeah baby yeah

" You want I shoudl scrape the dead bugs off yer windshield ma'am?"

showing my age yet?


Well done...

Who was the hot blonde in the Jaguar that Elwood flirts with at the gas staion?

[SergntMac]

Where would one find the draw bridge they jump in the early part of the movie? City and Street please :) Chicago, East 103rd Street at the Calumet River.

[shakes_26]

That city is your beat so I'll trust you on it, commonly its been reported as the East 95th street bridge, but I don't know that for sure.


Chicago, East 103rd Street at the Calumet River.

[SergntMac]

Actually, they filmed at both locations, I'd have to see the film again.

Oh, and that bridge where the Pinto full of Nazi took off, that was the 26th Street extension into McCormick Place at Lake Shore Drive. It's gone now too. Can't say where they filmed the "landing", have to watch the film again.

BTW interesting side note. All the police cars except the "Lake Wazapamoni" car, were actual in-service units. Those scheduled for retirement were smashed and replaced, those just in chase scenes went back to work.

Question: Where's the real "Palace Ballroom"?

[shakes_26]

South Shore Country club? Does that sound right?, I thinks its a community center now, I visited a few years ago on a business trip.

As for the bridge to nowhere, actually its the Hoan Bridge in Milwaukee.

news article here (http://www2.jsonline.com/news/metro/dec00/nowhere14121300a.asp)

The drop of the Pinto was actually done at McCormick, but the driving off the bridge, Milwaukee.

1) Who was the blues singer playing in front of the Soulfood Cafe?

2) What other "famous" venues did the band play before Jake went to jail?

3) What band did many of the Blues Brothers play with while Jake was in jail?

3) What band did many of the Blues Brothers play with while Jake was in jail?

1. Hooker

2. Kick Kat Klub is the only one I remember.

3. Mel and the magic tones.

[ex00p71]

It's Murph and The Magictones.

I saw them tearing down the Dixie Square Mall, I have some bricks from it lying around my garage.

I think the two songs from Sam and Dave they were listening to were Soothe Me and Hold On! I'm Comin'.

How much did Murph pay for the amps upholstered in thick red shag?

[SergntMac]

2. Kick Kat Klub is the only one I remember. And...

The Morgan Park Theater (which I drive past everyday, but it was rehabbed into an "arts" thingy about 15 years ago.)

[mr.continental]

I think the two songs from Sam and Dave they were listening to were Soothe Me and Hold On! I'm Comin'.

That is correct.

Now what was the album?

[Blackened300a]

What was the name of the record company that offered Jake and Elwood a recording contract at the end of the concert?? and how much money was handed to them up front??

"BONUS"
How did Elwood want the money divided?

[ex00p71]

I think it's Clarion Records

I think it's 10 grand but I'm not sure.

He give's some to Ray's Music Exchange, and then says give the rest to the band.

[SergntMac]

That is correct.

Now what was the album?"The Best Of"

[jefferson-mo]

It was John Lee Hooker in front of the Soul Food Cafe on Maxwell St.........


It's all gone now..............(thanks Mac for the tour)


My favorite line in the whole movie......................... .



"Disco Pants & Haircuts!" :lol:


:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Blackened300a]

I think it's Clarion Records CORRECT

I think it's 10 grand but I'm not sure. CORRECT

He give's some to Ray's Music Exchange, and then says give the rest to the band. ITS $1400 TO RAYS AND THE REST TO THE BAND



You Know your Blues Brothers

What Make, Model, and Color Car was Carrie Fisher Driving?

[SergntMac]

I can't believe I went out and bought another copy of this film on DVD today, just to play. But, I can't remember who I loaned my original too. Just as well, I got the 25th Anerversay edition for 14 bucks. On with the show...

That city is your beat so I'll trust you on it, commonly its been reported as the East 95th street bridge, but I don't know that for sure. We're both right. In the scene prior to the bridge jump, they are on East 95th, and the bridge is identified by a plaque. The restaurant in the background as Jake and Elwood argue, is Henie Mc Carthy's Shrimp House, on East 95th. However, the jump was filmed on the East 103rd bridge, it's almost twice as long in approach and landing area, and industrial.

Cutting room magic, eh?

[SergntMac]

What Make, Model, and Color Car was Carrie Fisher Driving?Burgundy Pontiac Gran Prix, '75-'76 vintage (they didn't change much between years).

[jefferson-mo]

Red 1976 Pontaic Grand Prix

She worked at Curl up n Dye


I've seen this movie a hunderd times..........anything else you wanna know?

[jefferson-mo]

I gotta tell ya...................if I fired a rocket at a building across the street I wouldn't be so calm drivivng away...............

[ex00p71]

My favorite line in the whole movie......................... .

"Disco Pants & Haircuts!"

"This place has got everything"

How much did Murph pay for the amps upholstered in thick red shag?

No one answered this one yet, and now that I think about it, it may be column speakers and not amps.

Maybe I've seen this movie to many times.:dunno:

[shakes_26]

$800 apiece, and they were amps, Jake bought column speakers from Ray.

You've seen the movie too many times? When I was in the Navy we had a limited number of movies onboard, and being off watch at 330am it didn't take long to see the whole inventory. The BB was on max rotation.

[shakes_26]

see earlier post where i had the rest of the band members.,

WHat was the penguins name?


That's not quite all of 'em.

[PhastPhil]

Alright as flyers are being passed out by kids, Cab and The Blues Brothers what song is playing?

If you are refering to the song Cab and the band played as Jake and Elwood were sneaking into the ballroom, it was Minnie the Moocher. Cab says to the band, do you guys know Minnie the Moocher? One guy says I once knew a hooker named Minnie.

[ex00p71]

Nope, the song is I'm Walkin

Minnie the Moocher is being played when Jake and Elwood are late for the gig.


And no, I haven't watched this movie today, I watched Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry instead.

[MERCMAN]

Kokomo, Indiana


Yep you got it. Funny that is about 19 miles N of me, and there is not one thing that looks familiar in the whole scene. Ahhh, the magic of the movies!!

[mr.continental]

"The Best Of"

WE HAVE A WINNER!!

[Motorhead350]

What was the one thing Jake didn't like about the new Bluesmoble? HINT: He wanted it fixed.

[SergntMac]

What was the one thing Jake didn't like about the new Bluesmoble? HINT: He wanted it fixed. Cigarette lighter...But, it was funny to me back then. How it worked, and he threw it out the window, but it worked again after that...

[Motorhead350]

NIce job Mac. Now what do the police call the Bluesmoble as it was being chased around the billboard. I don't know if we can say this on here.

[mr.continental]

NIce job Mac. Now what do the police call the Bluesmoble was it was being chased around the billboard. I don't know if we can say this on here.

"I don't believe it. If it isn't that ****box Dodge again."

Now how was it described over the police radio during the final chase scene?

[ex00p71]

Black and White 1974 Dodge sedan.

[Motorhead350]

What did the police clame the Blues Brothers broke after the mall chase and if you listen carefully..... after the car pile-up before they get back to Chicago?

[ex00p71]

I think they broke my watch.

And then the other cop goes, I'm gonna get that SOB if it's the last thing I ever do.

[Motorhead350]

Man I just can't stump you can I? Ok I'll try. What was the number you could vagly see on the bluesmoble? The decal that was pulled off, but you could still see the lettering/numbering because of the discoloring?

[shakes_26]

that would be P1


BTW anyone interested the DVD special edition played to HD monitor...you can see sooo much more detail. Like faded stickers, graffiti, posters, etc.

So who is on a poster in Elwood's apartment? Hint: She also appears in a movie by Mr. Coppola.

[shakes_26]

I do believe it was Night Train. But I can't quite remember.... :D

[MAD-3R]

"That Nigt Train is a Mean wine"

You are correct Sir!!

[SergntMac]

The opening music is "She Caught the Katy".

Who sang it?

What is a Katy.

[GarageMahal]

The opening music is "She Caught the Katy".

Who sang it?

What is a Katy.

I think Jake sang it in the movie. Written by Taj Mahal :)

I believe the Katy is a train. It is in my mind anyway...

jta

Edit: What song is playing on the radio in the Bluesmobile when Jake and Elwood get pulled over (the one time they actually stop).

[Motorhead350]

Hold On I'm Coming as they stopped, but it was Sooth Me by Sam and Dave as they were slowing down. What toy did the man request right before the Blues Brothers busted in the mall?

[MAD-3R]

Hold On I'm Coming as they stopped, but it was Sooth Me by Sam and Dave as they were slowing down. What toy did the man request right before the Blues Brothers busted in the mall?

Miss Piggy. Who was he holding?

jta

Edit: What song is playing on the radio in the Bluesmobile when Jake and Elwood get pulled over (the one time they actually stop).Asked and answered..."Smoothe Me" and "Hold On, I'm Coming" from the album "The Best of Sam and Dave".

Correct answers though, song sung by Elwood, and a "katy" is the knick-name for the Missouri-Texas-Kansas RR. Actually, it's "K T".

[Motorhead350]

I'm going to say Bert.

[shakes_26]

He was holding a Grover doll, but requested Ms. Piggy

coincidentally he was the stunt lead, stunt man, and also played "customer in toy store"

must.....stop....watching....m ovie......:rolleyes:

What is the other connection between "The Blues Brothers", Miss Piggy and Grover?

[SC Cheesehead]

In the infamous "mall scene" ,what car dealership had the new models in?

Jake notes that "the new Oldsmobiles are in early this year."

Here's one back at you: What group of protestors does Jake hate?

SCCH

[Wires]

The dealership was Depasto Oldsmobile.

(No, I'm not a BB fan, just a Dixie Square Mall fan)

The current question is still:
What group of protestors does Jake hate?

[SergntMac]

What group of protestors does Jake hate? Chicago Nazis

[ex00p71]

No, he hates Illinois Nazis.

So for the one I partially answered, is it a black and white 1974 Dodge sedan with Illinois plates?

I guess I have to ask a question also

What could the band turn into gasoline, and what was Jake in jail for in the first place?

[shakes_26]

John Landis has a thing for Frank Oz (muppeteer for the green one and Mrs piggy)

He (Mr. Oz) has a cameo in the beginning as the personal effects clerk in the prison.


What is the other connection between "The Blues Brothers", Miss Piggy and Grover?

[MAD-3R]

What could the band turn into gasoline, and what was Jake in jail for in the first place?

Goat Piss into Gasoline, and he was in jail for holding up a liquior store to pay for the bands bar tab at the keowanas(sp?) gig.

[SergntMac]

I guess I have to ask a question also

What could the band turn into gasoline, and what was Jake in jail for in the first place? Jake got 3 years for robbing a gas station in Berwyn, Illinois, to pay the band for it's last gig. Jake didn't come back, and band members (again) had to pay their bar tab.

[MAD-3R]

Gas station, not liquor store... damn got it wrong.

[ex00p71]

I thought it was Coal City?

[jefferson-mo]

Nope, the song is I'm Walkin

Minnie the Moocher is being played when Jake and Elwood are late for the gig.


And no, I haven't watched this movie today, I watched Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry instead.

came out on DVD.......watched it several times


"My top end is Un-limited!"

[Rider90]

Cigarette lighter...But, it was funny to me back then. How it worked, and he threw it out the window, but it worked again after that...
Wrong.

It never worked. After getting into the car he put it up to his cigarette, looked at it, and tossed it out the window. After jumping the bridge he said to get the cigarette lighter fixed, as he lit his own cigarette with a lighter from his pocket.

[duhtroll]

Now THAT, my friend, is paying attention! I thought I was the only one that noticed that pat.

When they are in the penguin's office after being beaten by the measuring tool, what does Dan Aykroyd say as they both begin to move towards the door?

Only seen the movie once and not recently. Guess I'm gonna hafta see it again! Will check my VOD library.

F$%K With this Noise Man
I don't recall if he said "With" in it, or "Man" but good job :beer:

[Motorhead350]

[Rider90]

when Jake messes with the Good Ole Boys what does he flash when he clames to work for the union?
His cigarette box (soft-pack)

[Motorhead350]

What type of guitar did they little kid try to steal while the whole band was in Rays Music Exchange?

[Rider90]

all I know about guitars was that it was white, and Ray can shoot.

[SergntMac]

How about this one...

When they are in the penguin's office after being beaten by the measuring tool..."Measuring tool"...LOL!

It's a "yard stick", dude, a 36" long wood ruler. In shorter versions, from 12" to 18" long, known just as a "ruler", the official sidearm of any "penguin". Her second weapon was the traditional birch 4' long map pointer, likewise lethal to any 8th grader.

The dialogue isn't that clear on my DVD version, but the suggestions posted are out of sync with the history of the slang in use 26 years ago.

[Motorhead350]

all I know about guitars was that it was white, and Ray can shoot.
Well the pickguard was white and the guitar itself was black. Any takers?

[mr.continental]

You fat penguin. :confused: If I'm right see if you can answer this... when Jake messes with the Good Ole Boys what does he flash when he clames to work for the union?

A pack of cigarettes.

What did Elwood tells his boss he was going to become when he quit his job?

I believe this scene was only in the extended version of the movie.

[Motorhead350]

He was going to become a priest. Anyone know the guitar question?

[Rider90]

I didn't know if it was a Meter stick, yard stick, large ruler, and I still don't care :dunno:

Next...

[Motorhead350]

Heres another stumper and is actually a movie mistake: Tax money doesn't go to the cook county assessior. Who does it go to? For the ones who want an easier question what does Elwood charge Missy for full service?

[Rider90]

what does Elwood charge Missy for full service?
$94.00, she gives $95.00, and he offers a crumpled up $1.00 bill as change - she refuses.

It's time to go to work. Or "We gotta go to work." One of those? I ain't checking my DVD 24 times like some . . . ;)

Or was this during the car chase?

[Motorhead350]

While were on the topic of money how much money did Jake get back right before he left prison?

[Motorhead350]

It's time to go to work. Or "We gotta go to work." One of those? I ain't checking my DVD 24 times like some . . . ;)

Or was this during the car chase?
During the car chase he says "Jake, Jake... I gotta pull over." I haven't checked my dvd yet, but may watch it tonight. It's one of my all time favorites.

[ex00p71]

Yeah, thats close enough, I'm not even sure on that one.

What did the one Illinois nazi say to the other Illinois nazi before they hit the ground?

[Motorhead350]

It was "And hut." Unless your talking about who they honor and that would be hitler. Can anyone get my 3 last questions?

[ex00p71]

Nope, wrong answer and for the guitar I'm gonna guess it was a Telecaster.

[Motorhead350]

You got the last half of the word right. Steve Cropper had the Tele.

[ex00p71]

Well, I guess it's a Stratocaster then. "It breaks my heart....

anyway, for my question it's when the nazi pinto is falling from the sky.

[GarageMahal]

Nazi says "I love you"

Guessing Stratocastor for the guitar

[GarageMahal]

...Bonus question: Where is the last known location of the original Blues Mobile?

I still have not seen the answer that Elwood Blues himself revealed in an interview...

[Rider90]

Nazi says "I love you"

Dan's brother in law has it. I had to look that one up though, was far too curious...

[ex00p71]

Well, the one I was looking for was the one where he throws the car into the ditch and on to the frontage road. So I think Motorhead 350 already answered it. I'm starting to get stuff wrong now, I haven't seen the movie in about 2 months.

[Motorhead350]

Stratocaster is correct! What a tuffy. :rolleyes: I just found out I misplaced my DVD so I had to watch Blues Brothers 2000 tonight. No match to the original... not even close. I did read some of the ending credits and didn't know that Gary U.S. Bonds was in there (although I thought his music was more rock n' roll) and Bo Diddley was too. (I thought he was more rock n' roll too, but yes he also has blues material. I can never get enough of his song Crackin' Up) Ok back on track here, what did the old man ask Elwood for as he came back into his apartment?

[ex00p71]

Did ya get my Cheez Whiz boy?

What kind of phone does John Candy have in his office?

[Motorhead350]

haha you got it. I would say rotory, but I'm guessing you want more detail.

[Mike Poore]

These are easy.

Name the band. (all members)

OK, now name the tour band (there are a few different from the movie).

OK, now name the member of the band I've played with. :P

Elaine? :rolleyes:

[GarageMahal]

Its a pig in a police uniform :)

Edit: Next question - what does John Candy order while waiting for the show to begin?

[GarageMahal]

Dan's brother in law has it. I had to look that one up though, was far too curious...

That may match what I heard... where did you look it up?

I have a DVD with Elwood doing an interview and he says something about it being on a farm in Minnesota owned by a member of the Lemont Cranston Band. I guess I need to find that DVD again.

[SergntMac]

Are we playing off the 411 available on DVD, or, looking into other resourses? I'm asking because there are several books out there that build the backstory that was never brought out in the original, or, Directpor's cut DVD. If we're playing with the backstory 411, I have a ton of questions to post, and can answer a lot more. Any rules?

http://imdb.com/title/tt0080455/trivia Ah, I see now.

Seems we can't even create our own trivia questions. Here I thought some of y'all were BB experts.

BTW, I suspect some of the 411 in this data base is a bit off the truth too.

[ex00p71]

I dunno, I was making up my own questions, keep it going.

[GarageMahal]

Yep, me too. Backstory is fine with me, I don't know a lot about it and look forward to learning something.

P.S. Shakes, you owe us a question ;)

[Blackened300a]

You made me break out the DVD to get a question so here it goes.

What does Elwood use as a Garage for the Blues Mobile???

I'll give you one more try, K? Look again?

He's really good

[SergntMac]

He hit the brakes with both feet, that's all I noticed. Sorry, -A. The answer I was looking for is that he drives open handed, with his palms (fingers not wrapped around the wheel), and he uses hand signals.

When John Candy orders "three orange whips here", who fetches?

they take 5 grand for the tax assesment, then ask the Music exec guy to pay Ray in Calumet city $1400, and the rest to the band....


Correct, sir.

[ex00p71]

The 5,000 came from the ticket sales.

Didn't the dispatcher say unecessary violence in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers has been approved.

Ummm, they were speeding on lots of roads, but Lower Wacker Drive is one of them

The Dodge was an old Mount Prospect police car.

The Dodge fell apart.

According to the country singer, What will Jake have trouble eating and why?

[SergntMac]

Oh man...I forgot what what it was, but it would be because of "no *****in' teeth"

Did this question get and answer? What did Jake flash the country singer?

[Rider90]

Yeah I already got that, his soft pack cigarettes

[GarageMahal]

What is the name of the actor who played the country singer?

[cyclone03]

I had to look these up

Steve "Getdwa" Jordan
Tom "Bones" Malone
Alan "Mr. Fabulous" Rubin (how could I forget Mr. Fabulous!!!)
Paul " The Shiv" Shaffer (not in movie)
Tom "Triple Scale" Scott
I'm not that huge of a BB fan,but Paul Shaffer was in the movie,the big concert at the end he's on the keyboard ,note he still has hair.

[SergntMac]

Yeah I already got that, his soft pack cigarettes Close enough I suppose, but "an upside down pack of Chesterfields" is a better answer, just in case it comes up again.

The keyboard player in the "Jail House Rock" concert, is Murphy Dunne

That's actor Charles Napier "drivin' the Winnebago"

[Rider90]

just in case it comes up again.
You brought it up for the second time, unless you forget about it and ask again, I don't see it coming up for the third.
