- Jake’s release, the brothers’ reunion, police-car pickup and bridge jump provide a strong opening.
- James Brown’s church performance and Jake’s epiphany are nominated as iconic, with a stunt double inferred for the handsprings.
- The Dixie Square Mall chase is loved for escalating destruction, deadpan shopping remarks and its period mall atmosphere.
- Chez Paul is a favorite and the funniest scene, unleashing Belushi through food and outrageous demands; more similarly unrestrained scenes are desired.
- The Soul Food Cafe sequence combines John Lee Hooker, dry toast and four fried chickens, and Aretha’s Think; Murphy’s stiff acting contrasts with her performance.
- Ray’s Music Exchange is praised as the best musical number for its outdoor choreography, compared with Ferris Bueller’s Twist and Shout dancing.
- Bob’s Country Bunker, Rawhide and Stand by Your Man are nominated; its chicken wire inspires a joke about live television recaps.
- Minnie the Moocher, the Palace Hotel performances and Carrie Fisher’s tunnel confrontation are listed among candidates.
- The 106-miles-to-Chicago exchange is an iconic launch into the final chase.
- The Nazis’ prolonged falling Pinto, the Bluesmobile collapsing and the surrounding guns are final-chase highlights.
- Ray’s Music Exchange is explicitly selected for Charles’s timing, the song and dance, and its necessary place in getting instruments; another response favors Chez Paul or the mall.
