The Blues Brothers is a 1980 musical comedy film directed by John Landis, featuring comedy legends John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as Jake and Elwood Blues. These characters were initially created for Saturday Night Live, but they quickly became a fan-favorite sketch and gained popularity, which led to the development of the movie. The film follows Jake being released from prison, only to find out that the orphanage where he and his brother were raised is in financial trouble. The Blue Brothers want to stop this from happening as they set out to raise $5,000 by reuniting their old band. As they travel across Illinois, The Blues Brothers encounter some trouble, some hilarious situations, and some legendary artists such as James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and Ray Charles.

These brothers are now back as McFarlane Toys unveils their latest and exclusive Gold Label Movie Maniac release!
