Wow, I didn't think this article would B flat, disappointed
They Crashed Over 100 Cars The film held the record for most cars destroyed in a movie at the time—103 in total. Universal had to set up a special body shop just to repair the vehicles for reshoots.
Ohh that makes sense why there weren't more flats (given all the sharps you would expect more flats after a certain point) the tired flats got fixed behind the scenes so we only saw the good accidentals.
Missing:
The entire concept for the Blues Brothers came from the tiny Eugene Hotel in Eugene, Oregon when Belushi was there filming Animal House.
The hotel regularly held blues performances, of which Belushi was a fan, when he wanted to perform some pretty basic numbers, Curtis Salgado took him aside and was like "No, no, no, I'll teach you some REAL blues numbers..."
