4.0 out of 5 stars Fell out of my chair laughing!, October 25, 2001

By	Alison Evans (Kenilworth, Warwickshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best of Saturday Night Live Presents The Best Of John Belushi [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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 amazed 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.

This review is from: The Best of Saturday Night Live Presents The Best Of John Belushi [VHS] (VHS Tape)

John Belushi made Saturday Night Live history on television as a legend of comedy in the seventies like his impressions of "Killer Bees", "Samuari", "Joe Cocker", "Jake Joilet" one of the Blues Brothers and the greek restaurant owner saying these famous lines CHEESE BURGER! CHEESE BURGER! SORRY NO COKE WE JUST HAVE PEPSI!!
