It might not be considered a true comedy, but Knives Out has a similar ensemble cast.

"Professor Plum, you were once a professor of psychiatry specializing in helping paranoid and homicidal lunatics suffering from delusions of grandeur." "Yes, but now I work for the United Nations." "So your work has not changed." #TakeBackTurtleBay Fun Fact: The three endings were shown at a random theater when it first came out. All three are included on video. The DVD, however, aside from all three endings, also offers the option to play the movie with one randomly selected ending. Bonus Fact: The Max Busch House, the mansion used for the exterior and ballroom scenes, was destroyed by a massive fire on October 5, 2005. After the fire, several people left flowers on the front gate and even shed tears, evidence of how much the house was cherished by the local community.

I love the quick fire rapport and clever wordplay of Clue more than anything (along with some excellent physical comedy). I guarantee you'll pick up more jokes when you watch it again. Especially from White and Scarlett, who employ more than their fair share of double entendres.

It was fun that they did that in theaters, so you could see it several times and not know. It also was done to prevent people giving spoilers to their friends.

It just makes my heart happy to see younger people getting to know people like Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Gene Wilder, and so many more of the folks I grew up loving ^_^ I'm so glad that you enjoyed the movie. One of the few that's based on a board game, and one of the few that's actually good, and conveys the playing of the game so well!

If there's one thing I love, it's your expression when you watch an old movie and go "what the hell is going on here?" And there's nobody who cracks me up quite like dear Madeline Kahn.

My favorite moment is when Ms white is going on about hating Yvette 'flames, flames coming out of my head...' the actress improvised the line and they kept it. I had this whole movie memorized as a kid!

I love how in theaters in the 1980s it had different endings depending on where your lived. On video they just put all 3 endings on it

Judging from your reaction to the weapons, I'm guessing you're not familiar with the board game. It's all about using the process of elimination to figure which of the six player characters killed Mr. Boddy, in which room, and with what weapon, as one of each is secretly put in an envelope at the start of the game, and the rest are divided equally among the players, with a single card that disproves a player's guess privately presented to them until they feel they've narrowed it down enough to make an official accusation, which takes them out of the game permanently if they're wrong. This also makes it a rare board game where at least three players are needed, since with just two it's just a completely rote experience of showing each other your cards until they're all done. This is why the film's dialogue goes a bit out of its way to keep mentioning the weapons and the house's rooms by name, plus Mr. Green's final line that he killed Mr. Boddy "in the hall, with the revolver," which is how an accusation is given in the game.

Here’s something most people miss. Each character’s name is essentially a color and in the board game the characters are wearing the color of their name. In the movie, however, it is their cars that are the color of their aliases. Also, it’s interesting to watch it again knowing the outcome. All of Mr. Body’s attempts to escape or have Wadsworth killed make since as he was probably being forced to play along and wanted out.

The board game has been around forever, I was playing it in the 70’s. Right before the blackmail evidence is thrown in the fire you see that there is a picture of the colonel and the motorist together in the army. The singing telegram girl is a member of the girl group the Go Go’s.

For years I had only ever caught this movie on TV and always missed the start of it so I never got the "Go home and sleep with my wife!" joke until I got it on DVD years later! Also, in my opinion only the Miss Scarlett ending actually works. In the Mrs. Peacock ending she can't have turned off the electricity on the ground floor and immediately be seen in the basement hitting an air conditioning duct with her purse. And in the 'Everybody Did It' ending whoever kills Yvette is waiting for her in the billiard room, but you can still hear Mrs. White screaming upstairs!

The "flames on the side of my face" bit is my favorite moment in this movie. Gifs of that are always my go-to when I'm just really irritated with something, lol.

Shark's Fin soup is a delicacy in chinese cuisine. Had it at a lotta dinner banquets growing up. (Although soups like Bird's Nest are considered better, least so my dad would often say. I actually like Shark's Fin the most.) The fin contains gelatinous parts that feel like noodles. Because of massive overfishing, to the point many shark species have become severely endangered, and because often sharks are fished solely for the fins, with the remainder of the carcasses tossed, the soup is being increasingly banned in many jurisdictions in the past 10-15 years, with additional measures to disincentivize shark fishing. You can look up the controversy. The "noodle" parts of the fins really don't taste like anything at all, and could easily be substituted with bean noodles and countless similar, which is now becoming a trend. However, superstitions run high in Chinese culture, so many believe eating certain types of exotic foods will improve one's health in a variety of ways, hence why illegal shark hunting still occurs, even in the international trade (like sharks being hunted for fins only in South America to be exported to Asia).

The biggest clue that everyone misses is Mr. Green saying "I didn't do it" over and over

Trivia: When "Mr. Boddy" is seated at the dining room table, there is a painting behind him of someone who looks veeeerrrry similar to him in a butler's uniform. This foreshadows the third ending.

Glad you got to watch it!!!! "Let us in, let us in"... "Let us out, let us out". Kills me every time. So many lines but that's my top duo.

"Long story short.... too late" is a popular expression in our family.

Great reaction, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've loved this movie since i was a kid. In the early 90's it was one of my favourite movies.

this is one of those movies i can watch over and over. so many subtle jokes, i know they are coming but they still make me laugh. the multiple endings was an interesting facet. i loved how it mimic'd the board game in that each time you play it there was a different killer/weapon/room. i read they planned to have an ending for each character as the killer but was too expensive to film them all. but the craziest part is that when they sent the film to theaters they only sent it with 1 ending....but different endings to different theaters!

My “OG” (😋) favorite movie!🍿 The script is SO tight and quotable! It’s hard to catch on a first watch because of the speedy line delivery, but one of the best examples of this film’s wordplay is.. Col. Mustard: You lure men to their deaths like a spider with flies. Mrs. White: Flies are where men are most vulnerable! Ha! A metaphorical parallel between an actual spider trapping/killing/living off insects and Mrs. White (a “black widow”) who attracts male prey by appealing to their *pants* fly? Genius!

6:44 - Even Werewolves have knards! 😜🤣👍 The three endings was a gimmick that the movie tried where they sent out different copies of the movie to theatres and so people who went to see it never knew which version with which ending they were going to see (In fact, before the release, audiences didn't even know there were multiple endings and were confused when people who saw it at different times/theatres remembered different endings); there was even suppose to be four different endings, but the fourth one while scripted was never shot because of budget/time restrictions. The gimmick was mostly a failure, as the makers undoubtedly hoped people would return to the see the movie multiple times, which they did not. After that, for the longest time, only the "Final Solution" version, with the multiple murderers, was available on VHS rentals and on TV until decades later when the studio produced a DVD release with all three endings fused together (As you saw it here) plus with the option of viewing the movie with only one randomly selected ending. Canadian actor, Ryan Reynolds, is said to have been working on a Remake/Reboot of Clue for years now, but the pandemic seems to have put break on his plans and the project has been left in limbo (But, BOY: Am I hoping it does make it to the big screen some day soon!). Clue is one of my all time favorite movies and I use to own a VHS copy that I would play whenever I was painting figurines as a hobby in the late 80s/early 90s and I have literally viewed it over 500 times so far.

The multiple endings were a pretty neat gimmick, but the downside is that the film couldn't actually function as a legitimate mystery. Since various different killers were possible, all the "clues" had to be vague enough to fit each one, so it's impossible to figure out the killer yourself on first viewing, like any good mystery should strive for. This also makes everyone's performances quite impressive, as during many scenes they had to act in a way that could be read as either being genuinely innocent, or the killer who's putting on an act.

Plus you could say it's the ultimate critique on Mystery Genre as a whole. Mystery writers sometimes leave out too much or put too much in like "Red Herrings" in order to confuse the reader so it's not so obvious who the killer is in the end. This movie shows anyone literally could be the killer through the various endings methods. Ending A not only applies to Scarlett but also Mustard, and Mrs White. Evette is the accomplice which makes their murders posible. Ending B for Peacock and Plum since both were in the cellar and both were missing during various key scenes in the first half of the movie. End C shows us Everyone could have killed someone. It's one of the greatest mystery films for me because it has all the tropes of a mystery and subverts so many of them while staying true to the Board game narratively.

One of my favorite movies of all time. What I like (and that I don't know that anybody thinks about) is that the beginning part with the dog poop? Big clue that Wadsworth isn't really the butler. A real butler would have removed the shoes, left them outside, and gone inside to put a new pair on before ever tracking poop into the house.

Another great comedy in the same vein as this one that I can highly recommend would be the movie Murder by Death. Such a fun comedy.

"Gather around the dead man." Me: "Let's gather round the dead body and sing our dead body song. Our D-E-A-D B-O-D-Y S-O-N-G song. And if you don't think we can sing it faster then you're wrong, but it'll help if you just sing along..."

OMG YES!

I LOVE Mrs. White and Professor Plum. Loved that game since I was a kid.

Ms. White's Flaming speech was improvised. They let him run.

Yes the game was out long before the movie. The aliases are all the names from the game. Shark fin soup is actually delicious but sad as they kill the shark just for the fin. How have you never played CLUE before? The boxes were filled with all of the weapons from the game. And the reason there are multiple endings is because when they released this in theaters originally there were three different endings you might see depending on what theater you saw it in, because different theaters were delivered a movie with a random ending. So just like the game had a different killer, using a different weapon, in a different room each time you played the game...the movie was the same for different movie goers depending on where they saw it. When it was finally released on tv and rental they put all three endings in the movie. One of my favorite movies.

This is one of my favorite movies.

@13:31 - right on the money, Sam - according to Rian Johnson, Knives Out was indeed heavily inspired by this movie. Another one he cited as influential is the movie version of Evil Under the Sun, based on one of my favourite Agatha Christie novels and featuring an all-star cast led by Peter Ustinov as Hercules Poirot. 😊

My knowledge and appreciation of Christie is by no means encyclopedic, but the reason I like Evil Under the Sun and its various adaptations so much, and the reason it's clearly an influence on Knives Out, is that it's the epitome of a Poirot style locked room murder mystery, except it takes place in broad daylight on a beach, and there's a whole angle involving the geography of the island on which it's set, which much like the Thrombey mansion is almost a character in and of itself. Plus you get the all-star cast typical of these jaunts - Diana Rigg, Maggie Smith, James Mason, Roddie McDowall, Jane Birkin and Nicholas Clay.

Again you called it before anyone. The butler is indeed sketchy!

HE HAS ALL THE KEYS!! And when he locked the door with the cop inside that room the first time, he had that key... but that key couldn't have opened up the door where Mustard and Scarlet were?? How many keys could he have? What key did he chuck out the door? SKETCHYYYY!

I love this movie so much and must have watched it 20+ times on VHS with my mom and my brother I was a kid. Years later, I happened upon a late night black and white movie called "Ten Little Indians," which is based off of an Agatha Christie story. Imagine my surprise when I saw that (without the humor) it was nearly identical to Clue. Apparently when they wrote the story for this movie, they had to come up with ideas, as board games have no stories. So the idea they went with was to make a comedic parody of Ten Little Indians. And holy shit, did it work!

Wadsworth was my favorite one of the bunch. I hated that the "real" ending revealed him as Mr. Boddy and had him shot to death. Still, I like the third ending the best as it had different people kill each of the victims.

With all of them easily admitting they did it without hesitation. I doubt that would happen in real life.

Enjoying your content. Can't wait to see you react to this, one of my favorites!

Thank you so much! Appreciate it

Love seeing your reactions to these great classic movies

If you want another movie with the same kind of manic energy, check out 1991's "Oscar" starring Sylvester Stallone (and also has Tim Curry)!

I love Clue so much haha ☺ i was Yvette in our high school play

Another old black and white series of who done it movies would be the Miss Marple movies from the 1960's like Murder Most Foul, Murder She Said, Murder At A Gallop, and Murder Ahoy. Margaret Rutherford plays Miss Marple, a bold and eccentric old lady. Well worth watching since actors back then were cut from a different cloth.

This is a good one,watched this one a lot when I was younger
