The Best of John Belushi

John Belushi died at the age of 33. He was generally regarded as one of the few comedy geniuses in contemporay entertainment. Film director's like Steven Spielberg and John Landis broke all the rules to put Belushi into their movies. His first film for Landis, 'National Lampoon's Animal House,' became one of the most successful comedies in box-office history. But Belushi was far more than a film star, he was, for several yearsduring the seventies, the backbone of America's most successful live comedy revue-'Saturday Night Live.' The 'Best of Belushi' is a compilation of some of the funniest sketches John ever did, from the 'Samurai Delicatessen' to 'Star Trek - The Final Mission.' Nobody seeing Belushi doing his Joe Cocker impression wil be able to keep a straight face a rock concert ever again. But it is not only Belushi who make this compilation a collector's item. 'Saturday Night Live' with Belushi as its driving force spawnedmany actors and actresses who have become a household names in the '80s-like Dan Akyroyd, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase and Gilda Radner, all of whom star alongside Belushi in this tribute to a man who should have become the brightest star of them all! © Above Average Productions.
