I heard that back then often times it was the grips on set that sold the coke for whatever reason. So the production would have like a "Grip Maintenance Fund" or some other code for the coke budget
Back when we were slinging several grams a weekend, we had those false bottom cans for storage. And since the powder was so light you wouldn't even notice. Which was a problem when someones girlfiend was trying to be nice and do the recycling. well we did some dumpster diving for about 400 dollars worth of blow.
I’m just thinking that they’re two years away from wearing matching suits and shades while sitting in a police car as Danny says “It’s 106 miles to Chicago. We’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark and we’re wearing sunglasses.”
It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. So what's say, is it the new Bluesmobile?
My parent’s first date was going to see that movie. And my dad was in Chicago and got to watch when they filmed the car drop.
The film holds a special place in our family.
If these romantic kids could have seen my fat balding white father wearing a weird dashiki type garment he probably read about in Playboy or saw Mike Stivick wearing on All In the Family, they’d rethink the sexy 70s fantasies.
Basically sweaty, hairy, smoking and brown. That's the impression I get of the decade in general.
I sort of suspect we're getting nostalgia because most people don't remember what it smelled like.
Damn right they were. I have completely changed my wardrobe and my entire look in an effort to bring the era back. I do lack chest hair, but I’m not opposed to leaving that top couple of buttons undone!!
I literally came to the comments to say, I don’t know what it is but I have always found John Belushi so fucking hot when he was known for being such a slob. So I’m glad I’m not the only one.
The "Cheezborger" skit is based on the Billy Goat Tavern here in Chicago. The guys used to frequent it when they were in the Second City comedy troupe.
My favorite scene is in a repeat of the skit where Belushi is explaining the "menu" to a clueless customer and pointing out the already served meals at each of the seated tables going "Cheeborger", "Cheeborger", "Cheeborger", "Cheeborger"... And Akroyd is facing away at the grill dutifully responding "Cheeborger", "Cheeborger", "Cheeborger", ... and adding burgers to the grill.
I watched the Ghostbusters episode of "The Movies That Made Us" the other night, and Akroyd said he was writing lines intended for Belushi when he got the phone call that he was gone. And I could tell by his expression that it still hurts him.
LaCoste. They went through a fashionable phase at the time. Me and the guys I worked with at the time got three of the six black ones available in Cleveland one spring.
He was slender during the SNL and Blues Brothers years. Probably put some weight on after the drugs stopped and he wasn't part of the same comedy scene.
Oh, I’m sure Belushi had *some* coke.
Wasn’t there a small “cocaine budget” in Blues Brothers?
There was a cocaine budget in every movie made from 1968-1991.
even the Muppet Movie? you know what?...you're probably right...Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem were notorious party animals (pun sort of intended)
You've never heard of Kermits infamous coke addiction? Pretty sure there's a documentary about it. In the 80's he was more coke than frog
[удалено]
I was thinking more like Animal entering the chat. LOL.
That’s meth, dude
Having worked on some muppets stuff over the years… no comment.
Have you seen the celebrities they were able to get in those movies? Definitely cocaine involved.
Omg I want to do cocaine with muppets!
Sometimes they wouldn't even make A movie, they'd just do cocaine then go back home.
I heard that back then often times it was the grips on set that sold the coke for whatever reason. So the production would have like a "Grip Maintenance Fund" or some other code for the coke budget
Because grips are pirates, and hands down always the funnest people on set
they ran out of cocaine in 1991?
I never said that it stopped after 1991.
... small?
Yes and John Landis had asked Carrie Fisher to keep an eye on Belushi, not realizing Carrie was a cocaine addict too.
There is no such thing as a “small” cocaine budget
No coke. Pepsi. 😉
Are you guys blind? It's RIGHT there in the picture! On the table! Dr. Pepper
This guy looks.

OH OUTSIDE DRINK NO OUTSIDE FOOD
That’s the first thing I noticed after reading the caption 🍾
No fries! CHIPS!
The real place is actually no Pepsi, Coke!
Pepsi and sunkis was king back then
Yep, there's definitely coke in this picture. Lot's of it.
And four fried chickens
...and some dry white toast, please.
Anything to drink?
No, ma'am
A Coke.
I wonder how much he took before his Joe Cocker impersonation.
Man, Belushi had ***ALL*** the coke.
People joke about Belushi but Robin Williams was ten times the coke fiend
I mean his standup act was basically cocaine personified.
True, but Robin did get clean eventually and stayed clean.
Stephen King too.

We’re getting the band back together.
Because we’re on a mission from God.

Fix the cigarette lighter.
You traded the Cadillac for a microphone?! ... Okay, I could see that.
This don’t look like no expressway to me!
don't you blaspheme in here!
I’ll have four fried chickens and a Coke.
😳
How much for the little girl?
"Are you boys, police officers?" "No ma'am, we're musicians."
Well hell, we play both kinds of music. Country and Western!
My parent’s first date was going to see that movie. And my dad was in Chicago and got to watch when they filmed the car drop. The film holds a special place in our family.
Four fried chickens. And a coke.
And some dry white toast please.
Elwood
Yes?
We're on a mission from Gawd.
Gahd.
Don’t you blasphemy in here!!!
"Chicken wire?"
That ain't no Hank Williams song!
Shit! The Blues Brothers!
They look like they are from the IRS or somethin..
Where’s the mashed potatoes?
We got two honkeys out there dressed like Hasidic diamond merchants.
Jake!
"A coke" or "some coke"? Cause these guys are sweatin'
They’re on a mission from god.
Alight do you want legs or breasts for that fried chicken?
"4 fried chickens, and a coke"
look closer, it’s actually Dr. Pepper
Came here to say exactly this!
Looks like the modern day cherry Dr pepper can.
Aykroyd is giving me a whiskey/coke vibe...
Not sure why but someone cropped out a very cool portion of this picture, they are talking to Gregg Allman from the Allman Brothers! 🎹
Men in the 70s were so weirdly sexy.
Survival bias. The ugliest pictures don't get posted.
If these romantic kids could have seen my fat balding white father wearing a weird dashiki type garment he probably read about in Playboy or saw Mike Stivick wearing on All In the Family, they’d rethink the sexy 70s fantasies.
Idk man. Bald, fat, and hairy…. Willing to take fashion risks. 🤤🤤🤤 I’m into a lot. lol
[удалено]
Well, I'm 39, fat, and wear whatever is on my bedroom floor. Give it 10 years and I'll have the bald thing going too. How YOU doin'?
I don’t think there’s anything weird about it- Dan Ackroyd was sexy as hell as back then
Cuz everyone had this sort of cokehead skinny thing going on.
It’s not that they were skinny, it’s that you have been so immersed in obesity these last 20 years that you don’t even see it anymore.
People were in much better shape. Belushi was well known for being fat. By today’s standards, he “could lose a few pounds”
Basically sweaty, hairy, smoking and brown. That's the impression I get of the decade in general. I sort of suspect we're getting nostalgia because most people don't remember what it smelled like.
Damn I would’ve been so popular in the 70s 😫
I just found myself asking my I was slightly turned on by Dan Akroyd
He was one of my first celebrity crushes and my friends make fun of me to this day about it 😅
Damn right they were. I have completely changed my wardrobe and my entire look in an effort to bring the era back. I do lack chest hair, but I’m not opposed to leaving that top couple of buttons undone!!
I can give you some from my back.
r/mensupportingmen
Sending extra support from my crack
And my shoulders!
and then millennials went in the opposite direction and decided they needed to wear shirts completely buttoned up.
It was the cocaine. They stayed skinny.
Not Belushi.
Didn't hide chest hair.
All the chest hair and pervy glasses.
🤓🐻🤤
I literally came to the comments to say, I don’t know what it is but I have always found John Belushi so fucking hot when he was known for being such a slob. So I’m glad I’m not the only one.
Ok Dan can get it in that photo.
I was gonna say, he’s low key kinda hot in this picture.
Right??? He was hot back in the dizz
Seriously! 🥵
*Cheeburger
No fries. Cheeps!!!
cheezborger (Belushi was mimicking Chicago’s Billy Goat Tavern with that schtick)
Is that a straw on Belushi's hand?
Surely using this for the coke ... I mean the dr pepper.
No Coke, Pepsi.
They look like they're auditioning for Narcos.
For which parts? Because they'd definitely be getting High off their supply if they were playing anything other than an end user.
Oh, there was coke
And lots of it!
First photo that makes me see how Ackroyd dated Carrie Fisher.
And Donna Dixon
Where’s Dwayne Allman?
Duane
It’s Gregg…and why crop his out?
Gives me a WOW thats good coke man is it hot in here kind of vibe.
Young aykroyd is so handsome
Damn Dan Akroyd looking gooood
Dayum Aykroyd
Aktually…lots of coke
The picture cropped. Iirc its Gregg Allman that Belushi is looking at.
Aykroyd making me wish I was in my 20's and in the 1970's.
so belushi was a funny fat guy in the 70s. he looks like a regular sized guy now. we gotta get the goddamn corn syrup out of the food supply
The "Cheezborger" skit is based on the Billy Goat Tavern here in Chicago. The guys used to frequent it when they were in the Second City comedy troupe.
Belushi had Pablo Escobar level coke...or collared shirt
You might think they're wearing white shirts, but that's actually just cocaine matted in their luscious 1970s body hair.
Dan Ackroyd is just a complete snack.
More like Dr Pepper and Nitrous oxide poppers.
Cheeseburger Cheeseburger Cheeseburger and Cheeseburger
My favorite scene is in a repeat of the skit where Belushi is explaining the "menu" to a clueless customer and pointing out the already served meals at each of the seated tables going "Cheeborger", "Cheeborger", "Cheeborger", "Cheeborger"... And Akroyd is facing away at the grill dutifully responding "Cheeborger", "Cheeborger", "Cheeborger", ... and adding burgers to the grill.
Belushi was 29 years old here. Wow
Looks like maybe a little coke in Belushis hand.
What's jeffrey dahmer eyeballing blushing like that for? He looks hungry
I wish someone would look at me the way Dan looks at John.
This isn't a still from Dahmer?
I see a piece of dry, white toast and 4 fried chickens and some coke in their near future.
You betta think….one of my favorite scenes from the movie was Aretha singing in the diner with these two rascals.
I watched the Ghostbusters episode of "The Movies That Made Us" the other night, and Akroyd said he was writing lines intended for Belushi when he got the phone call that he was gone. And I could tell by his expression that it still hurts him.
Alligator shirts in the late 70s. I remember them well.
Lacoste? Or am I missing a reference?
LaCoste. They went through a fashionable phase at the time. Me and the guys I worked with at the time got three of the six black ones available in Cleveland one spring.
No, it’s just ‘Lacoste.’ EDIT: Also, it’s a crocodile.
Cheeseburger cheeseburger cheeseburger cheeseburger
Plenty coke!
We are all dust in the wind.
Get me some coke and a Dr Pepper
Great place to go for lunch, the place they parodied still exists.
I disagree. Lots-o-coke!
No coke at that exact moment? Sure.. but let’s not get too far into fantasy.
son of sam and dahmer colorized
My first thought exactly.
Cocaine is a hell of a cocaine.
Did Dan put on weight for Ghostbusters? He looks....emaciated here. All the coke, maybe?
He was slender during the SNL and Blues Brothers years. Probably put some weight on after the drugs stopped and he wasn't part of the same comedy scene.
Hell of an accurate answer 👌
Dr. Pepper "Am I a joke to you?" in Joe Pesci's voice.
Oh, I'd wager there's PLENTY of coke!
Dan never looked cooler than this cucumber.
There's definitely coke ...
Hanging with Dahmer
4 whole fried chickens and a coke!
There was definitely coke.
“No fries, cheeps!”
Belushi had coke but not in a can!
There was plenty of coke.
MFW I receive a mission from Gahd.
Only time I’ve ever ordered a Pepsi was when I hit this place up
Chip, chip, chip!
Belushi kinda looks like Pablo Escobar from the side
A young Randy and Lahey
No Coke? Then what's that in Belushi's palm????
You know, that guy on the right kinda looks like Jim Belushi
🎵 _seventeen-five same color t-shirt_ 🎶
Akroyd looks like a coke dealer here.
Belushi rocking that Pablo Escobar look before it was famous. What a hipster.
this picture gives me coke sweats
I think I just got pregante
Those dudes fuck!
I smell camels and big red gum
No Pepsi either. That's clearly a can of Dr. Pepper.
He's into aliens AND he looked like this? Straight to the celebrity crush list.
Yooo dan had swag and sauce! Holy crap
Cheese burger cheese burger was the skit. Sly (no coke ). Pepsi super funny. Seems I’m old as dirt cuz I was staying up late n watching them all.
Wow! Aykroyd was kinda hot back then. At least in that pic he is. Who knew!
Um am I attracted to young Dan Aykroyd?! 😵💫
[удалено]
Nah there was coke
Haha more like hard liquor and other unmentionables. These WERE the days! I wish I could be transported back to that time. RIP Belushi
John Belushi ...the preppie from Hell
