Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Belushi's widow Judy and best friend Dan Aykroyd actively campaigned against the film, with Aykroyd calling it 'a sin against John's memory.'
This was Michael Chiklis's film debut; he gained 30 pounds and spent months learning Belushi's mannerisms, then didn't work in film for four years afterward.
