Blues Brothers 2000 picks up 18 years after The Blues Brothers, with Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) being released from prison, this time a rather high-tech private prison rather than the old Illinois state prison depicted in the first film. He learns that his brother, Jake (John Belushi) has died, along with their surrogate father figure Curtis (Cab Calloway), and that the orphanage the two had saved in the first film is no more; however he is told of his second brother (of sorts). The “brother” is the illegitimate son of Curtis, named Cabel “Cab” Chamberlain (Joe Morton), whom until Elwood entered his life had no knowledge of Curtis being his father. Cab is a Commander in the Illinois State Police and angrily refuses to support Elwood, a habitual criminal. Elwood takes a job as an announcer in a nightclub (a strip club owned by the drummer of the Blues Brothers band, Willie Hall), where he discovers that the bartender, Mighty Mac (played by John Goodman) has singing talent, while getting on the bad side of the Russian mafia who have been demanding payoffs from the nightclub.

After the Russian mafia burns down the club, Elwood resolves to put the band back together once again with Mighty Mac as his new partner and a 10-year old orphan named Buster (J. Evan Bonifant) also tagging along. The band travels to several locations shown in the first film with a depiction of how they have changed in the intervening years (Bob’s Country Bunker for example is now Bob’s Country Kitchen, a family restaurant). As well as upsetting the mafia, Elwood also falls foul of a “white power group” and the police force, headed by a zealous and ruthless Cab. Read more
