Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

A soiled condom is seen briefly. Very little sexual-related dialogue and somewhat romantic subplots.

Violence & Gore

The Blues Brothers are chased by police, Nazis and Jake's ex-fiance, the latter of which uses powerful weapons, such as rocket launchers, to attempt to kill them. The brothers always come up unharmed. Many car crashes result from these events, but no death is seen onscreen. Many guns are seen being held by police officers and SWAT team members. Beer bottles and related items are thrown at a stage the Blues Brothers Band is playing, but a screen of chicken wire prevents these from hitting the band. All of this is played for laughs.

Profanity

About 25 f-words. Some uses of s**t. Many hells and damns.

Some drinking is present throughout the film. The band apparently drinks "$300 worth of beer" during a performance. Beer bottles are thrown during said performance.

The brothers are chased throughout most of the film, but it's all played for comedy. A woman tries to kill them through various methods involving powerful handmade weapons.
