Best of John Belushi

Buy This Item Best of John Belushi by Warner Home Video  Available from Amazon  $19.98  on 11-29-2008     Literally, I did fall out of my chair laughing, as I have never in my life seen 'Saturday Night Live', as we don't get it over here in England! There was a feeling whilst watching this video, that the scenes had been carefully chosen, as the video is produced by Belushi's wife, Judy and it comes across as a personal collection. Highlights include Blues Brothers routines, especially 'Soul Man' when Jake and Elwood suddenly leap into a frenetic dance, Olympia Restaurant "cheesebuga, cheesebuga, cheesebuga, cheesebuga" (you'll understand when you see it), Don Vito Corleone in group therapy, a ballistic, pouring-beer-down-shirt Joe Cocker, but the best has to be 'Samurai Delicatessen' - the great comedians are not just verbal, they are physical - pure bloody genius. What amazes me about Belushi is that he could take on anybody and play them to perfection - Vito Corleone, Joe Cocker, James T Kirk, heck, I bet even Beethoven was impressed. The only pity (which is why I don't give it 5 out of 5) is that the tape runs only an hour long, but to be fair, there are little excerpts in the final credits. So, sit back, relax and enjoy watching one of the funniest men who ever walked the face of this earth.
