Famous trivia from Hollywood movie : The Blues Brothers (1980) - Part (3)

This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: The Blues Brothers (1980).

About the movie: Jake Blues, just out from prison, puts together his old band to save the Catholic home where he and brother Elwood were raised.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Blues Brothers (1980)?
a.		Elwoods license number, B263-1655-2187, unfortunately isnt for someone by the name of Elwood Blues. By dissecting the license number, you can find out information about the holder. Birthdate: July 1st 1952 (Dan Aykroyds birthday). Gender: Male. First Initial: D. Middle Initial: E. Last Name: Starts with a B, followed by a guttural or sibilant (C, G, J, K, Q, S, X, or Z), followed by a short liquid (R), followed by a dental (D or T). The drivers license number turns out to be what Dan Aykroyds license number would be, if he had obtained an Illinois license, simply substituting the leading A with the B for "Blues"; thus the number shown in the film is a "hybrid" and is an invalid Illinois number. The book "Blues Brothers: Private" by Judith Jacklin (Judith Belushi-Pisano) gives Elwoods birthday as December 6, 1953. Therefore, Elwoods drivers license number should have been B420-2105-3347.
b.		Henry Cordens first project.

Of course, the film makers wanted nothing to do with this and asked for the original version, which Calloway reluctantly gave them.
