June 2026 several of us are going to take on theĀ 30-Day Movie Scene Coach4aday Challenge. Each day we share a YouTube clip from a movie and explain what is intriguing about that particular scene. It is a simple daily activity of sharing a Movie Scene. My focus today is on the BLUESMOBILE from the 1980 film āThe Blues Brothersā.
This month marks the 78th consecutive month that friendsĀ Jeff NeelonĀ andĀ Jaclyn DonovanĀ have taken on some sort of challenge. For June 2026 participants simply commit to sharing one movie scene from a film. Each scene just needs to be accompanied by a simple explanation on what is happening or why it was chosen. Hope you decide to join us or enjoy the clips we share.
Day 8-Bluesmobile
Today marks my wifeās and my 46th wedding anniversary. While reminiscing about 1980āthe year we were marriedāI did a little research on movies released that year and couldn’t resist highlighting The Blues Brothers. The film begins with Jake Blues being released from Joliet Prison after serving three years and being picked up by his brother, Elwood, setting the stage for their unforgettable musical adventure with many scenes featuring the BLUESMOBILE.
Prior to Jake going to prison the Blues Brothers owned a Cadillac. During his incarceration Elwood has pawned the Caddy for a microphone and purchased a 1974 Dodge Monaco used police car at the Mount Prospect IL Surplus Auction. The 1974 Dodge Monaco police package was one of the fastest squad cars of its time. It was capable of 0 to 60 in under 7 seconds, thanks to its 275-horsepower 440 and tall rear gearing.
