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.
Dan Aykroyd reportedly lost ninety pounds to reprise the role of Elwood Blues.
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).
Both Dan Akroyd and John Landis hated the script and felt that the movie was going to be a failure.
The list of names that Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) gives as a reason to not quit ends with Robert K. Weiss, the studio executive who convinced Aykroyd and Landis not to quit the film.
"Elwood Blues: Seeing as we're kinda like step-brothers, I thought maybe you could help me out. Cab Chamberlain: How could I do that? Elwood Blues: I need $500 for this car, see? And I thought maybe you could, you know, loan me the money... OR... Cab Chamberlain: "OR" what? Elwood Blues: I'm thinking of putting the band back together. Maybe you could join us. Cab Chamberlain: I'm a commander in the Illinois State Police, and I enjoy my job. You *waltz* in here telling me I have a dead, white criminal brother, who was in a band which, the last time they played anywhere, were charged with [looks to computer screen] Cab Chamberlain: grand larceny, wreckless endangerment, [raises his voice getting louder] Cab Chamberlain: felonious motor vehicle assault, over SEVEN HUNDRED violations of the highway traffic act and DAMAGES, both public and private, IN EXCESS OF $24,000,000 and *YOU* ARE ASKING *ME* IF I WANT TO JOIN THIS BAND? Elwood Blues: [nonchalantly] I could show you all the moves. Cab Chamberlain: GET THE HELL OUT OF MY OFFICE RIGHT NOW! Elwood Blues: [stands up and opens his arms] I think you need a hug."
"Elwood Blues: [addressing the rest if the band] You may go if you wish. But remember this: walk away now and you walk away from your crafts, your skills, your vocations; leaving the next generation with nothing but recycled, digitally-sampled techno-grooves, quasi-synth rhythms, pseudo-songs of violence-laden gangsta-rap, acid pop, and simpering, saccharine, soulless slush. Depart now and you forever separate yourselves from the vital American legacies of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Jimmy Reed, Memphis Slim, Blind Boy Fuller, Louie Jordon, Little Walter, Big Walter, Sonnyboy Williamson I and II, Otis Redding, Jackie Wilson, Elvis Presley, Lieber and Stoller, and Robert K. Weiss. Donald "Duck" Dunn: Who is Robert K. Weiss? [the rest of the band shrug] Elwood Blues: Turn your backs now and you snuff out the fragile candles of Blues, R&B and Soul, and when those flames flicker and expire, the light of the world is extinguished because the music which has moved mankind through seven decades leading to the millennium will whither and die on the vine of abandonment and neglect. [he walks off, followed by Buster, Mack and then the rest of the band]"
