The Blues Brothers (1980) - Original British One Sheet Poster
A wonderful, high energy vintage British one sheet “The Blues Brothers poster”, produced for movie The Blues Brothers (Cinema International Corp, 1980).
The Blues Brothers, directed by John Landis, is a musical comedy film that follows Jake and Elwood Blues, two eccentric brothers played by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, as they embark on a wild mission to save the Catholic orphanage where they were raised. The orphanage is in financial jeopardy, and the brothers, as "The Blues Brothers," set out to raise $5,000 to help it avoid foreclosure.
Along the way, they reconnect with their old bandmates and try to organize a big performance, but their journey is filled with outrageous obstacles, including a series of car chases, confrontations with the law, and even an angry country band. Their relentless pursuit of the money is complicated by an assortment of colorful characters, including a group of neo-Nazis, a jilted ex-fiancée, and the police, who are determined to catch them.
The film is filled with memorable musical performances, featuring classic blues and soul songs by artists like James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and Ray Charles. The Blues Brothers is known for its energetic comedy, absurd humor, and larger-than-life car chases, making it a beloved cult classic that blends music, comedy, and action in a truly unique way.
This highly collectable Blues Brothers movie poster is entirely different from the US campaign artwork. This great example exhibits minimal handling wear with some signs of fold wear, appealing to both film fans and those seeking vintage Blues Brothers collectibles.

- Additional Information
The Blues Brothers showcases a number of particularly chaotic car chase sequences. During the production, the filmmakers decided to feature several large-scale car chases through Chicago, and the stunts were incredibly ambitious for the time. One of the most famous moments occurred when a large number of cars — over 100, in fact — were used in a high-speed chase through the streets.
At one point, the filmmakers discovered that the destruction of the cars was so expensive and dangerous that they could not afford to continue filming in this manner. The situation became even more complicated when they inadvertently caused damage to actual city property, like a bridge, during the chase. Ridley Scott was brought in to help plan the sequence, but things were becoming so difficult that some of the crew started to worry whether the entire production might be halted.
Despite these issues, the car chases became a defining element of the movie, and The Blues Brothers was ultimately released as a highly successful, action-packed, and comedic film. The wild nature of the stunts, combined with the music and humor, contributed to the film's cult status. And, in the end, the car chase scenes became one of the most memorable and iconic aspects of the movie.
