- My favorite line from the many memorable lines in 'The Blues Brothers'
-
The American classic The Blues Brothers contains many many famous quotes from "We're on a mission from God." to "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses." But there is one line that always gets me going and ready for a good time.
"Use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers HAS been approved." - Police Dispatcher (Ralph Foody)
A throwaway line in my favorite musical comedy movie. However, it's not a throwaway line at all. The line initiates one of the largest car/police chase action set pieces in film history. From the state trooper's car launching into the tractor trailer to the dozens of Chicago PD cars piling on each other to the tanks, National Guard and Swat teams descending on the boys, the crescendo is a delight to watch and enjoy.
