This special edition of John Landis' Blues Brothers 2000 contains a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. Spanish subtitles are accessible, and the English soundtrack is closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include a "making of" featurette, deleted scenes, production stills, production notes, talent biographies, and a theatrical trailer. This DVD is the definitive home video release of this less than spectacular sequel.

Great movie. In my opinion not as good as the first Blues Brother, if they havnt had destroyed all those crown victorias i would have given five stars. I drive a crown victoria. One the best automobiles of all times. John Goodman is fantastic, howerver Jake Blues is THE MAN.

The Blues Brothers 2000 is one of my favorite movies of all time! After loosing this movie due to unforseen circumstances, I was delighted to find it available on Blu-ray High Def. Excellent picture quality and cinema qualiry sound bring new life to this classic. I would recommend this Title to anyone.
It was a great movie to be a second movie. Kid will enjoy it too.

A weak companion to the original, John Goodman is no John Belushi...but who is? I may be crazy, but despite it's weak points, most of the songs are at least enjoyable, it's the Blues Brothers! The 'Battle of the Bands' finale is worth the price of admission...all those music stars together on one stage, some who are no longer with us. I would recommend this...with a caveat, though
