Fun fact: the multiple endings appearing in a row with title cards to separate them are a result of the film's home release. When Clue premiered in theaters, different theaters received different prints; some received ending 1, some got ending 2, and the rest got ending 3.

Larger theaters had them all, and you chose Clue A, B, or C to make sure you didn't see the same ending twice.

Yep. I saw the A ending, where Miss Scarlet was the murderer. But the last one was the only one to answer all the questions, including why there was no informant on Mr Green: he was an FBI plant.

[@skullchunks_sod3722]

At the theater I went to as a kid, they got one of each ending. The idea was that when you were talking about the film at work/school.. etc. you'd find that someone else saw a different ending, all to get you to see it one or two more times. Brilliant idea, not sure how well it helped to boost ticket sales.

[@TuxKamen]

There was also a fourth ending that either wasn't shot or just wasn't included, but was in the novelization of the film. In that one, Wadsworth was Mr. Boddy, he'd poisoned all of the suspects and tried to get away, but ended up running afoul of a police dog

[@FLQueerLiberal1982]

@@TuxKamen I read the children's novelization in middle school. In it, it showed photographs from that ending, including Wadsworth in the car making his getaway, and dog in the backseat.

Almost all her lines were the best "men should be like kleenex; soft, strong, and disposable."

[@CPTDoom]

I love when Mrs. White says, when they discover Mr. Boddy's body is gone, "We should have made sure he was dead." and Mrs. Peacock responds "How? By cutting off his head I suppose." Mrs. White then says "That wasn't called for." I die.

"Your first husband also disappeared." "But that was his job. He was an illusionist." "But he never reappeared." "He wasn't a very good illusionist."

[@dmnemaine]

Best line in the film ... "I hated her sooooo much. It was like ... flames ... on the side of my face." Unfortunately, when the movie was shown in theaters, only those who were lucky enough to get ending 3 heard it. Very smart idea to combine all three endings when it was released on video.

On the other hand, Seth Green had a cameo in one of the Iron Man movies that consisted of 14 frames at 60 fps, which is less than a quarter of a second.

[@greypossum1]

Christopher Lloyd did look young but this was also the same time period when he was filming Back To The Future. Multiple endings were filmed with the idea of having different endings at different screenings so to encourage people to see it multiple times without knowing what to fully expect. Madeline Khans "the flames!" scene was totally improvised. The actor playing Colonel Mustard was standing beside her actually pinching himself of the leg so he wouldn't laugh. So happy you loved it. One or two memes will be born from this viewing. And congratulations on 50,000 subscribers. Now watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It is from 1975 and stars Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon.

In fact, even though it was clearly promoted as a wacky comedy, Paramount tried to sell the movie as an “Interactive game” with the multiple endings (Clue had a series of interactive-mystery laserdiscs at the time), and had theaters even hand out game slips with the tickets.

TRIBUTE TO TIM CURRY, the most underrated British actor. If he hadn't sadly had a stroke in 2012, he'd still be wowing us with every role and would undoubtedly have been knighted by the Queen by now. He originated SO MANY characters: Frank-N-Furter, Rooster, Darkness, Wadsworth, *PENNYWISE*... even his Dr Frankenstein in the 1995 "Frankenstein" FMV PC game was award-worthy, as was his voice acting in FernGully (1992). He's often accused of hamming it up, but that's his strength: he has no chill, and it's sublime! Sadly, his stroke means he's unlikely to grace us with future performances. But he's still a living legend and I look forward to the day when we might be able to call him SIR Tim Curry. C'mon, Queen Elizabeth II! Make it happen, please!

When I was in high school I was a theatre rat. I'm an illustrator now, and back then that translated into me being The Artsy Kid so I made it up to head of crew and lighting. It basically meant I ran the light board while wearing a two way radio headset to simultaneously give orders to my crew from back in the media booth. The last production I was a part of was our own original stage version of Clue, based on this movie. It was _so. Much. FUN._ Our butler was PERFECT for the role and nailed the rapid fire monologue of solutions at the end after not being able to get through it without a mistake for the entirely of rehearsals the week before, so the crew and I were all quietly cheering over our headsets when he did it _flawlessly_ on opening night. The school was about to completely renovate the auditorium over that summer, too, so we were able to completely DESTROY IT with nails, paint, and actual construction work for our set of the mansion.

So, the word "colonel" comes from the Latin, "columna" meaning a column of troops. It got passed to the Italians, who streamlined to "colonna," which got further Italianized to "colonello." The French modified it to "coronel;" which the English picked up; which is why we pronounce it "kernel." A colonel is in charge of a brigade--from 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers, depending on the size and number of battalions in your brigade. A battalion is commanded by a lieutenant-colonel. The lieutenant-colonel is also addressed as "colonel," but wears a different symbol--a silver leaf, whereas a colonel wears a silver eagle.

Victor/Victoria is soooo funny! It really is the epitome of the sex farce-campy songs, breaking the fourth wall, guys in drag, pratfalls, well-timed creeping about, combined with Oscar-level acting, top-notch music (“Crazy World” is one of my favorite songs of all time), and acceptance of LGBT people that was quite groundbreaking in early ‘80s Hollywood.

Probably my favorite hidden "clue" in this movie is the colors of the cars. Each car coincides with the color of the pseudonym... and of course Wadsworth's car is black (Mr. Boddy's other name in Clue is "Mr Black"). it's also amazing that on a re-watch, every scene is exactly as described by Wadsworth as far as "who wasn't there" even when it's a different person for a different ending. It's amazing.

Coincidentally, Christopher Lloyd was in this and Back to the Future in the same year. Mr. Green was played by Michael McKean, who was Lenny on Laverne and Shirley, David St. Hubbins in This Is Spinal Tap (another movie you should react to if you haven’t seen it), and-most recently- Chuck, the main character’s very messed-up brother, on Better Call Saul. Col. Mustard was Martin Mull, who was on Roseanne and played the principal on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. He also hosted the talk show parody, Fernwood/America 2 Night, with Fred Willard back in the late 70’s.

[@DanCrowleyNYC]

This is my all-time favorite comedy and I never get tired of watching it. There's definitely a whole generation that can quote this movie word for word because it was always on TV in the afternoons when we were growing up (I'm guesstimating those of us in the 35-45 range, but give or take a few years). A few years ago, a movie theater in NYC screened the film, and it was so interesting seeing everyone in my age group mouth every word, and the people that were my parents' age and older hadn't even heard of the movie (but they laughed out loud throughout, which made me happy that they enjoyed it!).

It’s not necessarily the movies I associate with him the most since that was such a small role, but it is the first image that pops into my head at his name so 🤷🏼‍♀️. Maybe it’s reinforced by how hard my dad and I laughed at it and how much we kept laughing about it after the movie was over and for years to come.
