Blues Brothers 2000 is a 1998 comedy film directed by John Landis and starring Dan Aykroyd and John Goodman. It is a sequel to the 1980 film The Blues Brothers, which was also directed by Landis and starred Aykroyd and John Belushi.Elwood Blues (Aykroyd) is released from prison and, despite the death of his brother Jake (played by Belushi in the original film), sets out to reunite the surviving members of the Blues Brothers Band. As in the original movie, this involves meeting many famous musicians and inadvertantly making a large number of persistent enemies. | |

Genre Shift | |
| Blues Brothers 2000 / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: While the first film has more than its share of goofy, over-the-top humor, the sequel goes more in the direction of outright fantasy, including a performance of "Ghost Riders in the Sky" causing the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to appear, Cabel being transformed into a Blues Brother by God, and the climax revolving around a 130-year-old voodoo lady, who temporarily transforms the Blues Brothers into zombies and the pursuing bad guys into rats. | |

Cool Shades | |
| Blues Brothers 2000 / int_1dea3034 | comment |
Cool Shades: Elwood, as always, has his pair of shades that he takes off only once in the entire film. Even his driver's license has shades. When Cabel tells Elwood to take his hat and glasses off in the office, the camera pans to Cabel, then back to Elwood—covering his eyes with his arm to avoid being blinded by normal indoor light. New core members of the band also get cool shades; when Cabel is converted to the true faith of R&B, his cop shades are turned into cool shades. | |

Battle of the Bands | |
| Blues Brothers 2000 / int_38068a1 | comment |
Battle of the Bands: The film ends with a Battle of the Bands between the Blues Brothers Band and the Louisiana Gator Boys. Unusually for this trope, the title characters lose, but band leader Elwood Blues is on good terms with the Gator Boys' leader, Malvern Gasperone (portrayed by Blues legend B.B. King) after an earlier encounter with him, and so the two bands decide to team up and play one more song together to close out the film. | |

| Blues Brothers 2000 / int_5400ad8 | comment |
Never Bareheaded: As with the Cool Shades, the brothers' hats are never removed, with two momentary exceptions. Elwood takes his hat off two times: when Caleb tells him to do so, and when he's face-to-face with Queen Mousette, as a gesture of respect, prompting the other members of the band to do the same. She appreciates the gesture. | |

Buster gives him a little speech and he decides to walk to see if he can find some gas, the rest of the band hesitatingly following him a moment later. | |

| Blues Brothers 2000 / int_6143ce68 | comment |
Dine and Dash: The band stop at a diner to get some food, but are tracked by some officers looking for Elwood. Upon seeing this, Elwood fakes a disease by covering his head in shaving cream and having Big Mac warn the patrons to stay away as they, along with Buster, stumble out of the building, Big Mac grabbing his sandwich on the way out. Humorously, the owner of the place, who was also the owner of the bar where the band fled without paying in the first movie, experiences deja vu and asks the band if he knows them. The band quickly eat their food and call for their check. | |

Bolivian Army Ending: Blues Brothers 2000 ends with Elwood and Buster racing away from Queen Mousette's contest (leaving the rest of the band behind, playing "Mississippi Queen" with Mousette's band) while chased by a miles-long line of police cruisers (it's so long that it keeps on going in The Stinger). We assume that Elwood will try some crazy stunt to try to lose them eventually (his final line in the film is telling Buster to "buckle up"), but aside from that, anything goes. | |

Continuity Nod: In the first film, Elwood's favorite meal is two pieces of dry white toast. In the second film, the police invade Bob's Country Kitchen to look for the Blues Brothers, and notice the table where they were sitting. One of the plates has two pieces of dry white toast on it. | |

Quit Your Whining: Elwood laments that with his brother and mentor dead, and the orphanage gone, he's got nothing left. Mother Mary tells him briskly to snap out of it and that she didn't raise him to be a quitter. | |

As Himself | |
| Blues Brothers 2000 / int_a5e0c01 | comment |
As Himself: The band members play themselves. The majority of them were part of the original backing band, and are well known blues and R&B legends, including Steve Cropper, Donald "Duck" Dunn (both of whom played for Otis Redding, amongst others), and Matt "Guitar" Murphy. Paul Shaffernote The Blues Brothers Band's original keyboardist in real life, but not in screen canon, as he was unavailable for the first movie turns up, but he's not actually playing himself — he instead adopts a thick French accent, playing the role of Queen Mousette's aide, Marco. He later takes off the wig and performs with the band, though, for which he gets credited both as Marco and as himself on the end credits list. | |

Rousing Speech | |
| Blues Brothers 2000 / int_aaece264 | comment |
Rousing Speech: Elwood launches into a semi-inspiring speech (mostly about the many reasons that the Russian Mafia is not, in fact, going to blow up Willy's Strip Club) — but it consists almost entirely of a history lecture on Russian politics that leaves everyone else entirely perplexed. Another one after they've run out of gas in the middle of nowhere, and all but the main three are thinking of just giving up: | |

Hollywood Voodoo: Queen Mousette. At first all her powers seem to do is turn people's skin green and cause them to dance about stiffly to "calypso-funk" music (and temporarily lose their memory). But then we learn she can literally turn people to stone, as well as transform humans into rats. | |

The "Fun" in "Funeral": Elwood and Mack find Alan "Mr. Fabulous" Rubin working as an undertaker, and attempt to blackmail him into rejoining the band by disrupting his work until he agrees. This includes interrupting a funeral and talking loudly how they're going to rob the valuables off the corpse and sell his penis to med school as soon as the burial is over. Things take an unexpected turn because the mourners are members of the Russian Mafia, who whip out AK-47s and give chase. The graveyard is destroyed by the ensuing gunfire. | |
