I refuse to acknowledge that movie ever existed.

You know, I never saw it, either. 

I am a fan of the original. The true one.

In fact, I just shared this clip with a friend the other day.

If that really is one of the cars used in the movie, I know the person that built it. and kept it running for the filming sequences.  I think he did mention that Aykroyd took the car with him at the end of filming.

With a supposedly 15 grand in engine performance parts, it certainly is not a "cop motor" cheeky

Huge fan of the original, have the "special edition" DVD with deleted scenes.  Drove through Chicago humming the music during the chase scene.

I honestly can't remember if I ever saw this movie.  I still don't feel the need to watch it.

With all the dirt and grime on it, you'd never know from the picture that it has aluminum heads and intake.  (I suspect that $15k is actually the all-in price they paid to have the engine and trans built and installed, not $15k in performance parts.)

Coworker and I discussed this movie once and we listed the "stars" that were in it - quite an impressive group in that movie.

I admit it. I'd prefer the original Blues Brothers, too. However, having a car from one of those movies would be awesome.
