Stupidity: After all the singing and dancing at the Tent Revival, Lt Elizondo yells at her fellow officers "It's a Trick, they've brainwashed the Captain, get 'em." Considering her and everyone else just witnessed the Captain float into the sky surrounded by fireworks and miraculously change into a black suit her "brainwashing" assumption is truly stupid.
Blues Brothers 2000 (1998)
1 stupidity
Directed by: John Landis
Starring: John Goodman, Dan Aykroyd, Frank Oz, Tom Davis, Walter Levine
Revealing mistake: Just after they dump the tacks out of the window, the Russians' car flies up into the air in a really quite impressive car crash. Just before it flips over though, you can see the huge ramp put in front of it. (00:32:20)
Elwood Blues: Stay away from drugs, gangs, and cyberporn on the Internet and you can be President of the United States some day.
Trivia: When Dan Aykroyd and John Goodman drop off the Russians, the Perry Mason theme music is playing. Nia Peeples (Lt. Elizondo) was in a Perry Mason TV movie in 1990 (The Case of the Silenced Singer).
Question: Is it ever specified in this movie or in any of the books or biographies written about the Blues Brothers exactly where, when or how Jake dies?
