The Blues Brothers Double Feature Blu-ray

By looking at rear cover art, looks like the 1st movie now has LOSSLESS AUDIO

Probably not because the last reissue said it had lossless and it was still the exact same disc as previously released. I fell for this once and won't do it again unless it's confirmed plus Blues Brothers 2000 kind of sucks so I am not sure whether I care.

That may just may be for the second

I'll believe it when I see it (the lossless audio bit). At any rate I outright refuse to purchase Blues Brothers 2000 in any capacity, so the only way I'll get the new disc of the first movie (assuming it's truly new) is if it is later released individually or something buys this set and will sell just the first movie disc.

I bought this version because of the back cover, take a look, and it is the same disc as the original release. I have a BDInfo scan of it kicking around if you want proof.

That was just a cover change

They managed to put "DTS HD-MA" on the back cover too.... I bought and opened it without checking.. Whoops.

WhiteTim · 04-29-2016, 07:38 PM

i like 2000 altho it seems I'm one of the few that do of course its nowhere near the first one

It's all about the music, maaaannnnn! "We had a sound that could turn goat pi$$ into gasoline!"

Cool to see a double feature as I still haven't got the other individual releases.

Both films are awesome to me.

GuruAskew · 04-29-2016, 09:12 PM

The original disc did have lossless audio, only it was on one of the extras, not the movie itself. As such this new release could be using the same misleading specs.

That said, if it was an actual upgrade to lossless audio I'd happily buy it alongside its horrible sequel.

No. I've seen this twice. The second time was many years after the first and I went in with an open mind, and both times I found it embarrassingly bad to watch. It IS the atrocity it's made out to be. A tragic cash grab for Aykroyd to drum up publicity for his nightclubs. It's not like the musicians featured haven't got a slew of albums and concerts videos preserving their musical legacy.

GuruAskew · 04-30-2016, 01:44 AM

It coulda been worse. The Joe Morton character was originally written for Jim Belushi, with him being Jake's biological brother rather than Curtis's biological son, naturally.

Morton is actually the least-embarrassing part of the movie whereas Jim Belushi undoubtedly would have been the most-embarassing.

chriszilla · 05-02-2016, 11:42 PM

Yeah, it's several notches below the original in terms of quality, but the musical performances in BB2000 are outstanding, and the car crash scene is so ridiculously over-the-top that it justifies the film's existence all by itself!

I for one am glad it will be included with the all-time classic that is the original.

Totally agree. People who trash the music in BB2000 are clueless. Either that or they're closet Taylor Swift fans ...

Beauvoir · 05-03-2016, 03:33 AM

Aside from the scene at the beginning of BB2000 where Elwood waits in vain for Jake, the film is terrible.

I love that scene. Very understated. I also love the call center musical number.

And that's the whole list!

Clueless as to what exactly? Their own individual taste in music?
