An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Standee (measures 40" x 75" [102 x 191 cm]). Also included is the original box (measures 2" x 31" x 40") and instructions (see below). (Learn More)

The Blues Brothers, the classic 1980 John Landis Chicago Illinois blues and rock 'n' roll (rock and roll) crime action comedy musical ("They'll never get caught. They're on a mission from God."; "The show that really hits the road."; "The most devastating team since nitro and glycerine."; "Written by Dan Aykroyd and John Landis") starring John Belushi (in the title role as Jake Blues), Dan Aykroyd (in the title role as Elwood Blues), James Brown (singer), Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, Carrie Fisher, Aretha Franklin, Henry Gibson, The Blues Brothers Band (Steve Cropper, Donald 'Duck' Dunn, Murphy 'Murph' Dunne, Willie 'Too Big' Hall, Tom 'Bones' Malone, Lou 'Blue Lou' Marini, Matt 'Guitar' Murphy, Alan 'Mr. Fabulous' Rubin), John Candy, Kathleen Freeman, Frank Oz, Twiggy, Charles Napier, Paul Reubens (as a waiter), John Lee Hooker, and Steven Spielberg (as a clerk). Note that a big part of the appeal of this movie was the cameo appearances by many of the greatest blues legends of all time, and the soundtrack included not only classics performed by Belushi and Aykroyd, but also original classics from the performers themselves!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this rare large standee for this movie and it includes the original box, hardware, and instructions!

Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. Most of these items absolutely can only be sent in flat packages, and could not possibly be rolled into a tube. Some of them might SEEM like they could be rolled in a tube, like a half-sheet, but they can't. The reason these items are in this auction is specifically because they CAN'T be rolled (because rolling any of them would damage them, even if they somehow can be rolled). So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item when ready for shipping), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it.

UPDATED 03/24/2021: Note that it was difficult to see the Belushi/Aykroyd piece (front and back) against our black wall so we have re-photographed it. We have also created a "digital standee" image of what the standee looks like when assembled (we did not actually assemble it). If you still see the black wall images, you will need to refresh/reload the auction page.


Condition: very good to fine. The standee and the hardware that came with it are in excellent condition. The cardboard mailing box has some damage to the corrugated board.
