There is a fade-out and fade-in during that scene to give the impression that they drove all night. Still, it was only 106 miles. I suppose they took a very roundabout route trying to shake the cops.
:smack: I forgot. Have to go watch it again! Let’s see, that’s . . . . 1415 times.
You can add theft of a helicopter to the list (the final plunge of the Illinois Nazis.) No way that drop was from an overpass. 
Or maybe they just wanted to shoot the ending of the movie in daylight? 
I had a nightmare once in which they made a really lame sequel to The Blues Brothers. It was like nobody who was involved in the original film had any idea what made the first one so much fun to begin with. Here’s how bad it was in my nightmare: they threw in a kid. I screamed and screamed and screamed! When I woke up and realized it was all just a terrible, terrible dream, I was so relieved to know that my world had not been reduced to a mutant-and-zombie infested wasteland of lameness. But then I couldn’t explain what I found in my jacket pocket: a Blues Brothers 2000 ticket stub! I screamed and screamed and screamed!
Well, judging from the car stunts, the brothers routinely violate the laws of physics.
Give’em a break - after all they were on a mission from god for christ sake.
Plus Elwood did bring that old guy his cheez whiz. That’s gotta count for something.
Only if you don’t have the right stuff - remember - “It’s got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it’s got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It’s a model made before catalytic converters so it’ll run good on regular gas.”
Don’t you blaspheme! Don’t you blaspheme in here!
Oh, *GOD! * now it all makes sense. I was wondering who this “Gad” person was, and why they were so danged scared of him . . .
Well, I guess they were up shit creek. <smack>
The Penguin could get them out if she needed them again.
Shit. How many times have I seen that movie? I don’t even know. At one point, it was one of three DVDs I had when I didn’t have cable and broadband was a dream of the future.
I bet those cops have SCMODS.
“Shit!”
“What?”
“Rollers.”
“No!”
“Yep.”
“Shit.”
With each word right on the beat of the song. Awesome exchange.
I’d seen the movie a dozen times before I realized that joke. “Fix the cigarette lighter.”
I think Jake shoves Carrie Fisher to the ground at one point, so that’s assault.
And when she blow up their sleazy hotel, I’m pretty sure they walk away without paying their bill, so there’s another theft charge.
Making toast on a hot plate in the room was probably some kind of fire code violation.
The also violated the civil rights of the Illinois Nazi party. But they weaken their suit by their actions of retaliations.
Besides. I hate those guys.
Too bad it isn’t against the law to make a lame sequel.
Well, can’t get them for impersonating police officers.
Mrs. Tarantino: Are you the police?
Elwood: No, ma’am. We’re musicians.
No, this isn’t quite fair. As I recall it, she is laying back in his arms and he just drops her. Less criminal, but somehow particularly symbolic and emotionally devastating.
