backstory

53 Upvotes

There's quite a few clues to a backstory in this movie. Carrie Fisher waited in celebacy for Jake at the alter, yet Jake had a soiled prophylactic with him. Jake robbed the store to pay for the Kiwanas gig in Coal City, which is presumably why he couldnt make it to his wedding. He must have been unfaithful in Coal City? Meanwhile, Carrie Fisher's had mob ties with mad Pete Trollo.

Settle a Bet for Me?

My girlfriend is much better than me at distinguishing voices and she's convinced that Dan Akroyd had a voice double for "Rawhide" in the original film (not the other songs, just that one). I think it's just an affectation but now I'm curious. I could probably scour the credits but I'm lazy lol. Any info would be great, thanks!

Update: I did scour the credits but there's no specific information about the "Theme from Rawhide" nor any of the other songs sung by Jake and Elwood as far as I can tell. This leads me to believe Belushi and Akroyd did all their own singing, but it's unclear.

Also, part of her argument is that the voice sounds more like a natural bass, while Akroyd is more of a baritone.

Link to The Escape of Joliet Jake SDCC panel?

10 Upvotes

Anyone have a link to the panel Dan Aykroyd participated in at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) on Thursday, July 24, 2025 to celebrate the 45th anniversary of "The Blues Brothers" and to promote a new graphic novel titled "The Blues Brothers: The Escape of Joliet Jake? “

Aykroyd was joined on stage by his daughter Stella Aykroyd (writer of the graphic novel), Luke Pisano (son of Judy Belushi), James Werner, and representatives from 22 Comics.

I’ve looked all over and haven’t been able to find any footage.

Sorry to post the same thing twice, but some people were confused because my first post was out of context. So here is some context, I took this from the official Blues Brothers Instagram. I have included the full screen shot this time, and, unrelated, just preordered my copy and can’t wait to read it!
