​@0okamino the "husbands are like Kleenex" line is one of my personal favorites xD

"Three murders?" "Six altogether." "This is getting serious."

I couldn’t quite tell if you have ever played the board game or not. The weapons Mr. Boddy brought to the guests (hoping they would kill Wadsworth) are the same weapons found in the board game. The aliases (Mustard, White, Plum, Peacock, Scarlet and Green) correspond to the yellow, white, purple, blue, red and green playing tokens. The “shortcuts” or “hidden passages” are also from the game. Playing the game, or at least reading the playing instructions, would help to understand some parts of the movie. And remember the movie is set during the McCarthy era, when many people’s reputations were destroyed due to real or presumed ties to the communist movement.

When Clue was first released in theaters it had 3 different versions. Each version had a different ending. Depending on what theater you went to determined what version we watched. The movies were labeled A,B,C. My brother and I saw version C in the theaters when Clue first premiered back in the day. Someone told us to go see that one because it was the best one out if the three. He was right in my opinion. LOL! 🎬📽🎞😄

"Mr Body" was played by the singer for legendary Punk band FEAR. They were my childhood idol John Belushi's favorite band & were friends when he died in '82. I snuck backstage at one of their shows once & even though I loved the band,, I told Lee Ving/"Mr Body" how much of a Belushi fan I was & he was cool enough to tell me stories over beers. The Clue board game was huge in the '70's. When this film came out they had at least 3 different versions if I remember correct? Same film I think, just with the different endings. See ya! ✌🌎❤

Flames! Flames 🔥

The "flames" line happened when Madeline Kahn couldn't remember her line and ad libbed. It was decided to keep the line, which is actually a really popular one.

Man you really nailed Yvette and Mrs White's connection in the first 5 minutes

This movie is based on a Bosrd game called Clue. In the game you choose what Character you want to be (such as Mrs Peacock) and the object you want to use to commit murder (such as the Rope). When this movie came out in the 80’s the game was very popular. It made the movie much easier to follow.

Clue is such a wild ride of a film! Great performances all around. BTW the singing telegram girl was played by Jane Wiedlin from the band The GoGos. ❤️

I wish someone had told you that this movie is a dark comedy, and that solving the mystery takes a back seat to the silliness. After all; why did they have to use the weapons locked in the cabinet when the poker for the fire or knives in the kitchen were available? 🙃 Leslie Ann Warren, who plays Miss Scarlet was Norma, the ditzy girlfriend in Victor/ Victoria. And Madeline Kahn, who plays Mrs White was Eunice in What's Up Doc?

Eileen Brennan had an impressive career also, but the one most similar to this movie is her role in _Murder by Death._

Now watch it again and forget the mystery. Just watch the beautiful comedic performances. Because that's the true joy of Clue. Tim Curry and Madeline Kahn are just the best.

This film has been my favorite comedy since I was a kid. I watched it so many times on VHS in the 90s that I still know the entire script by heart. I love that if you rewatch the film you'll notice who was missing from each scene when someone is getting murdered.

1+2+2+1 will always make me giggle.

This is my all time favorite movie. When I was younger If someone came over for a visit I would make them watch it and play the game.

It’s hilarious that you almost had it right so early, but from the wrong direction. I love the subversion of the old “the butler did it” trope. He did it, but he wasn’t the butler. Quite a brilliant twist to reveal Mr. Boddy as the villain (twice) rather than the victim (also twice). I enjoyed how much you were entertained and flummoxed by it at the same time. 😄

Madeline Kahn improvised the flames on the side of my face line. The singing Telegram girl is Jane Weidlin who is a member of the 80's girl group The Go go's. Back in the 50's gay people were considered at higher risk to blackmail by the enemy because it could ruin their lives if it came out.

And rewatching this movie, you will find something new each time.

Seeing you crack up throughout one of my childhood favorites made my night! I saw this for the first time when I was about 10 and didn't get half the adult jokes at the time, but still instantly loved it. It's in my top five favorite movies!

My favorite film of all time. I can't wait!

In the theater this had 3 different endings played randomly so that it would feel like the game. On the home release all the endings were edited in and it sets up a pretty good joke with the movie pointing out "how about this one"? before setting up the gag. The last, longer ending is the real ending

WOOHOO!! 🎉🎉 Great choice! Can't wait! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Madeline Kahn who play mrs White is one of my favourite comedy actresses also appearing in Blazing Saddles Young Frankenstein and High anxiety.

The best part of this movie is that all 3 endings actually work, the correct people are missing at the correct time for each murder no matter which version

KSO you making my day watching CLUE.... TY

In the original Clue board game, there were six player tokens, Red (Miss Scarlet), Yellow (Colonel Mustard), Purple (Professor Plum), Green (Mr. Green), White (Mrs. White), & Blue (Mrs. Peacock) along with 6 weapons (revolver, wrench, candlestick, rope, lead pipe & knife) & 9 rooms (Dining room, Hall, Billiard room, Library, Ball room, Conservatory, Kitchen, Lounge & Study). The corner rooms were connected by a secret passage (Study & Kitchen, Conservatory & Lounge). Great reaction as always!

And there is also Clue: Master Detective, which I always play at my sister's house when I go for the holidays--it has more suspects, rooms, and weapons. Still no motives, though, but if you want motives, you can play Whodunit, which does include motives. There are also a lot of specialty versions of Clue: Scooby-Doo Clue, Alfred Hitchcock Clue, etc.

If you haven't played the board game is very similar to the movie. Players play as each of these characters in the house and someone is killed. As you move through the house you're given clues and have to figure out who did it, in which room, and with which of these weapons.

So the flick is based upon the board game. The board game is (unofficially) based upon Agatha Christie's play The Mouse Trap, which is the longest running theatrical play in all history...not exaggerating! The plot's different, but it's arguably the OG whodunit. If y'all ever get a chance to see the play ( _never_ adapted into a movie, btw) do see it and try to puzzle it out during the intermission; the clues are there to solve the mystery in Acts 1&2.

The movie can never be made while the play is running, and, barring a brief hiatus during COVID, it has never stopped running. I saw a version of it done at a local high school several years back and enjoyed it. You can also read it in a book that collects some of Christie's plays.

Ah, Clue. The movie with probably the most quotable lines.

We were robbed of the "This is how it could have happened" with the Little Shop of Horrors movie! They should have edited like this, I didn't even think of that til now.

You've reacted to The Go Go's right? The singing telegram was played by Jane Wiedlin, guitarist for the band.

I remember you liked Madeline Kahn (Mrs. White in Clue) when you watched her in the Streisand movie, “What’s Uo Doc?” She played Eunice Burns, Dr. Howard Bannister’s fiancée. 😊

Another movie in the same vein but made years earlier is the hilarious murder mystery by Neil Simon calked "Murder by Death." It shall has a legendary cast, and is every but as comedic, energetic, and atmospheric as this one. I hope you'll watch it soon.

My all-time favorite movie!!! You are so entertaining to watch.

And while yes, as everyone has pointed out, depending on which theater you went to, you got one of three different endings. However, there are actually four endings. I believe the fourth ending was filmed at least partially because there were photo stills of it. But either it was never finished, or unused... something about it being too dark in tone. But it is in the novelization of the movie. In that ending, at first the killer tries to frame Peacock & Plum, but Plum realizes the actual killer is Wadsworth. And Wadsworth has poisoned the champaign giving them 3 hours to live. Cops show up, he escapes in a car only to find that vicious dog in the back.

It's really such a fun board game, and this movie was an outrageously fantastic adaptation (which, all things considered on the success rate of such things, is really impressive). The script was meticulous, and there was only one line that was improvised, and it is infamous and beloved. It is from Mrs. White (played by the always hysterical Madeline Kahn), about the "Flames, on the side of my face..." It was just so funny, and caught everyone off guard, that they just had to keep it in.
