Blues Brothers (1980) - 103 Cars Destroyed

I was looking for "Most Expensive Car Crashes in Movies" and BLUES BROTHERS had the record until the sequel came out in 2000. Since then, it's been eclipsed by G.I. Joe, Transformers, Matrix and the Fast and Furious franchises.

I saw the Church Keys play the Continental. As always a big part of the show was the band opening large bottles of Ballantine ale with the bottle opener attached to Sugar Boy's guitar. This of course made Trigger (the bar manager) furious. He spent the rest of the set screaming over the band that what they had done was wrong, illegal, downright criminal and they would pay for it. No outside drinks, you know. The band simply continued there set as if there weren't a raging man in a conical bamboo hat yelling at them. He never stopped, and neither did they.
