Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who is the first person acknowledged in the opening credits?

Answer: Ira Newborn

Oddly, the first credit we see after 'A Universal Picture' is 'Music Supervised and Composed by Ira Newborn.' The actors and the director aren't credited until much later.

2. Who speaks the first full sentence in the movie?

Answer: an unnamed prison guard

The first full sentence spoken in the film is, 'Well, this is it.' A guard at Joliet Correctional Facility says this to Jake just before the property chief (Frank Oz) lists out Jake's possessions.

Answer: a cross

Above and behind the knuckle of Jake's left index finger, we can see a cross. Did that symbol reach his hand before or after he arrived in prison? We're never told.

4. Jake is asked to sign for his possessions. What, exactly, does he write on the form presented to him by the property chief (Frank Oz)?

Answer: 'X'

Apparently, Jake's writing skills are sub-par, even by prison standards.

5. Elwood surprises his brother by picking him up in a used police car. From which Chicago suburb police force auction did Elwood acquire the new Bluesmobile?

Answer: Mt. Prospect

It does have a .440 engine, though.

6. What is the first song heard in the movie?

Answer: 'She Caught the Katy'

When the credits finally get around to giving us the names of the two main actors and the title of the movie, 'She Caught the Katy' plays in the background.

7. Elwood proves the mettle of the new Bluesmobile by jumping a raised drawbridge. On what street can one find this bridge?

Answer: East 95th Street

A sign clearly reads 'E. 95th Avenue' just before Elwood decides to play Evel Kenievel with the new Bluesmobile.

8. Finish the name of the orphanage that Jake and Elwood feel compelled to save: 'St. _________ of the Blessed Shroud.'

Answer: Helen

We see the sign when the boys pull up to the curb.

9. The Blues brothers call her 'The Penguin,' but the nun who raised them has an actual name. What is it?

Answer: Sister Mary Stigmata

She's never called by her full name in the film, but in the credits, she's called 'Sister Mary Stigmata.'

10. Elwood notes that Curtis (Cab Calloway) used to play the records of a specific blues artist when the Blues brothers were kids. Who was the artist?

Answer: Elmore James

Something of a counter-culture at St. Helen, it would seem.

11. When the Blues brothers first learn that the orphanage is about to be repossessed by the state, how many days do they have to raise the necessary money to save it?

Answer: 11

Curtis mentions the 11-day deadline just after the boys' meeting with the Penguin.

12. Finish the name of the church where Jake has his revelation about the band: ________ ______ Baptist Church.

Answer: Triple Rock

The Reverend Cleophus James (James Brown) delivers the pivotal sermon.

13. The female soloist at the church where Jake has his revelation was a member of what band in real life?

Answer: Rufus

Chaka Khan was the lead singer of Rufus ('Tell Me Something Good') in the late 70's.

14. To what Sam and Dave song are the Blues brothers listening when they get pulled over by the police for the first time?

Answer: 'Soothe Me'

On an 8-track player, no less.

15. Which of the following answers accurately describes Elwood Blues' tally of parking tickets and moving violations when he is first pulled over in the film?

Answer: 116 parking tickets; 56 moving violations

We see this tally on the SCMODS system in the police car while Jake and Elwood are waiting to see what the result of their having been pulled over will be. More 'Blues Brothers' quizzes to follow! Stay tuned!
