This film is rated R for a reason. There's a great deal of obscenity and profanity, both spoken and gestured. The scenes with the Neo-Nazis and some of the stereotypes portrayed in various scenes may be offensive.

John Landis: Blues Brothers is R-rated, but there’s no sex in it, there’s no violence in it. It’s all slapstick. There’s nothing in it I wouldn’t let an 8 year old or a 9 year old see. There’s a lot of profanity it, that’s why it’s R-rated.
