OVERALL: Draw

The German Limited Extended Collector's Edition and German 3 Disc Mediabook editions for including both versions of the film with lossless audio. Note the Limited Edition also includes "Blues Brothers 2000" and differing collectible packaging.

Note that Universal's remaster of the theatrical version from 2005 had an error in the picture. Right after the Triple Rock Church number, there’s a shot of the Bluesmobile driving at night while we hear “Soothe Me” on the car radio. The camera holds on the car and cuts inside to a close-up of the 8-track deck in the dashboard. In the theatrical version, there’s a premature cut to the 8-track, a cut back outside to the prior shot, and then a cut to the 8-track at the proper point in the soundtrack, though the soundtrack plays throughout unaffected. All DVDs, Blu-rays, and streaming editions from 2005 onward retain this error.

The 4K UHD Blu-ray from 2020 has corrected the error, though note the accompanying Blu-ray in the package is identical to the older disc.

Information on differences between the theatrical and extended cuts can be found at Movie-Censorship.
