The Blues Brothers

The brothers are pursued into Chicago by the police, the Good Ol' Boys, and the Nazis. The Good Ol' Boys' Winnebago goes into a river, the police all get into a pile-up, and the Nazis go off the end of an unfinished freeway. They get to the tax office and pay the money the mission needs, but are arrested as they are given their receipt.

Continuity mistake: In the deleted scene where Elwood goes into the manager's office to quit, right before he walks in the door he sets his briefcase down, it is slightly crooked and in the center of the floor. When he goes to leave it is sitting straight and further to the left. (00:42:45)
