Blues Brothers

Director John Landis accused studio executives of "cutting the Blues Brothers' nuts off."

Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi fashioned characters two years earlier, but 1978 episode featured them in full glory.

Movie's touching opening tribute to John Belushi quickly gives way to sitcom-level humor.

John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd delivered their first 'Saturday Night Live' blues performance on Jan. 17, 1976.

As wild and sprawling as 'The Blues Brothers' is, the story of the creation of the movie might be even crazier.

Some movie exhibitors apparently believed white audiences wouldn't be interested in watching the film.
