Trivia
The mall had been closed for a year already before the movie was filmed.
The studio paid $12,500 for the right to film inside.
The set director, Jean Alan, had to beg stores to be included. They built 30 elaborate storefronts for Jake and Elwood to drive through, some of which were original tenants in the mall. Toys 'R' Us was not one of the original tenants.
It was during the three days of shooting at the mall that Belushi wandered off the set, knocked on a stranger's door, asked for something to eat and passed out on a couch.
During filming, the studio hired security guards to protect the millions of dollars in products and merchandise in the mall's stores from being stolen, however items were still constantly disappearing from the shelves. Upon investigation it turned out the guards themselves were doing the stealing.
Every car in the parking lot outside the mall is a brand new car.
