Insomniac Garage Presents: Blues Brothers Dixie Square Mall Car Chase

At Insomniac Garage, hooning and car chases are always appreciated, and this is one of the best Hollywood car chases. Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi and a slew of Chicago and Illinois State police officers going through the Dixie Square Mall at high speed while destroying merchandise and risking lives. The Malaise Era cars in the Dixie Square parking lot and the mocked-up Oldsmobile dealership are remarkable, as are the stunt driving, the filming and the audacity of using a disused commercial space that parts of were being used as a school at the time of filming.
