CLUE (1985) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

Sorry for those of who joined the premiere. I have no CLUE why it suddenly stopped and ended. Must have been Colonel Mustard with the wrench in the RU-vid server room. Anyway, hopefully you can view the full vid now. Enjoy!!

In case you're wondering, the reason there are three endings is because they wanted to create a gimmick for people to go see the movie at the theatre more than once. Originally, depending on which theatre you went to/day you went to the movie, you'd get a different ending. When they released it on home media, this was during the days before DVD existed where they could simply have an options menu, so when the VHS was released they just altered the movie so that all three endings played one after the other at the end, like you two watched, and that became the standard version of the movie.

"Six, all together." "This is getting serious." I freaking love this movie. One of the best casts I could imagine.

Tim Curry is just incredible in this movie. His energy just completely drives the movie forward

"Dinner will be ready at seven-thirty." Shout-out to Kellye Nakahara (1948-2020) who plays the cook in Clue. Beloved to my Generation X (and our parents) for her portrayal of Nurse Kellye in 167 episodes of M*A*S*H (1972-1983), including one that was written by series star Alan Alda and writer Karen Hall just for her ("Hey Look Me Over" (1982)).. RIP Nurse Kellye, you were so good on TV.

"It's a matter of life after death. He died and I got a life." Madeline Kahn steals this movie and every film she's in. That and the "flames on the side of my face" speech are some of my favorite lines from any film. Also, Tim Curry is hilarious running from room to room during his reveals, but he's also being true to the board game. In the game, if you want to make an accusation, you have to be in the room where you are saying that it happened. I love that detail.

Madeleine Kahn is hilarious in the scene where she says, "I hated her so... much...fffffflames, flames, flames on the sides of my face, breath, heaving breaths, heaving breaths...." 😂😂😂😂😂

I adore Leslie Ann Warren. She's aged beautifully, too!

Clue was patented in 1947. The creator saw people acting out murder mystery scenarios in their manor houses in the countryside during the war and designed a board game version of it. And when the movie was in theaters they released it with just one of those possible endings so people in different theaters would see different endings. When it went to home video they put all of the endings at the end.

This is a movie that really shows how hard it is to translate something like a board game to a movie. And yet somehow this really comes out with such charm and so many laughs and it still holds on to some of the concepts of the board game. Excellent movie

Love this movie! Whenever I’m talking about someone I hate I always throw in a “FLAMES! FLAMES ON THE SIDE OF MY FACE!”

Nearly 40 years after my sister and I relentlessly saw this movie as kids we still quote it to each other. “Flames. Flames on the side of my face.” And “1 plus 2 plus 1” are our favorites. The whole cast is perfect, especially Madeline Kahn (Mrs White) who was a national treasure.

Clue was my GO-TO sleepover movie as a kid. I can’t even count how many times I’ve seen this. One of my all-time favorites.

Another closely related movie spoof to this one is 'Murder By Death' that brings together all the 1940ies mystery characters like Miss Marple, Charlie Chan, The Thin Man and Hercule Poirot.

I have loved this movie since I was a kid. As an adult, it still doesn't get old. There are so many funny quotes. The dry humor and physical humor are on point as well. Tim Curry is hilarious and the entire main cast shines. FYI, Debra Hill produced this movie. She helped John Carpenter make the original "Halloween" in 1978. Hence the name of the mansion, Hill House. When it was released in theaters, one of the 3 possible ending were shown at random around the country. Sadly, it bombed, but it has since become a cult classic. Another really good movie you ladies may consider is "Sleepy Hollow" from 1999 directed by Tim Burton, starring Johnny Depp.

Lol. Carly looked shook when she thought she was about to watch a horror movie. 😳

“Frankly Scarlet, I don't give a damn” is a line inspired by Gone With The Wind (1939) "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn", Rhett Butler to Scarlett O’Hara.

The singing telegram ALWAYS gets me! 😂☠️🤣

I wonder if anyone remembers Christopher Lloyd as Reverend Jim on Taxi.

One thing to note, the cars that each character drives in the beginning of the film are the same color as the color of their piece is in the game

This is such a classic. Tim Curry has a reputation for playing villains and this shows off not only that side of him but his comedic side. He makes this movie with the ending And I love how much these people feel like real people; we don't know that much about them, but we know how they act and react

Fun fact! The 3 endings that are shown were not all shown in the movies. Theaters were given the film reels randomly. Only when it came out on VHS later did they combine all the ending into one like it shown.

This is one of the most highly quotable movies from the 80s. Seeing it never gets old or stale. So glad you got to experience this classic!

Madelyn Kahn (Mrs White) is in Paper Moon and What's Up Doc; both of which u need to watch. Michael McKean (Mr Green) was Lenny on Laverne and Shirley, He was also in This is Spinal Tap, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind; All required viewing. The butler (Tim Curry) was in Rocky Horror Picture Show. Almost everone there was iconic

This is such a fun movie! Tim Curry, as usual, steals the show! “Flames on the side of my face…heaving breaths” 😂😂😂

What's funny is that no matter how many times I watch this movie, I never remember who the real murderer is. There are so many endings it actually keeps it fresh for me every time.

I absolutely love this movie. I was 14 when it came out in theaters and it is one of my absolute favorites. One of Tim Curry's funniest performances. He stole the show. The Singing Telegram Girl was played by Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go's. She also played Joan of Arc in Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure.

My best friend and I were 12 when we saw this in a theater in 85. The ending you saw depended on the theater you watched it in. Maybe even based on your region of the country if I remember correctly. The board game was huge at the time.

Such an underrated movie also if you're not familiar with Psyche the TV show they do a tremendous parody episode which is a must watch.

I didn’t know this until a re-watch this year, Lesley Anne Warren (Scarlet) was not the director and casting’s first choice. She got the gig just mere days (3 or less apparently) before filming because the studio’s first choice- Carrie Fisher- had checked herself into rehab and wasn’t able to take part.

The singing telegram girl was played by Jane Wiedlin, guitarist in The GoGos.

It was so crazy when this movie came out, and then you started talking with your friends about who did it, and you slowly realized that you didn't all see the same ending. Great concept! This is such a fun movie, with some big stars of the time. Thanks for reacting to it ladies! 😊

You have to do Murder by Death now! A very silly, very funny, film that pokes gentle fun at old detective stories.

"Clue" is nice, but the real gem of "funny murder mystery movies" is *"Murder by Death"* from 1976. It features a cast full of stars: *Peter Falk, David Niven, Peter Sellers, Alec Guinness, Maggie Smith, Truman Capote and Elsa Lancaster.* And while "Clue" is generally more on the silly side of things, I would consider "Murder by Death" to be truly funny _(with a little silly sprinkled inbetween)._

Scarlet is Leslie Ann Warren she was in quite a few things my favorite was when she was Cinderella in a TV movie by Rogers and Hammerstein!!

Fun fact. I think when it came out they released some versions with each of the different endings. It was before social media, so after a weekend, people would meet at work and find other people had seen a different movie ending and drive more curiousity on the film.

So excited! Please remember "Flames! Flames! On the side of my face." Madeline Kahn is the best!!!

I really wish someone would do a reaction video to Murder By Death.

I know very little about this movie. FUN FACT: The singing telegram girl was Go-Go member singer and guitarist, Jane Wiedlin. For reference, she can be heard singing the line: "Hush my darling, don’t you cry. "Quiet angel, forget their lies," on the song "Our Lips Are Sealed."

Biggest clue that almost everyone misses: Mr. Green saying "I didn't do it" throughout the film.

YES!! LOVE THIS MOVIE!! Shout Factory is releasing a collector's edition 4k+Blu Ray this Christmas. Add it to your collection.

Earlier this year, I was in my local theatre company's stage production of CLUE and I played Mr Boddy (a.k.a. Dr Black in the international version: Cluedo)

I love how the weapons they all got as “presents” suited them. Sorta matched the personalities and look of each one. Even their jobs.

This whole cast is full of recognizable actors in the 1980s. Also, there definitely was a Mr Body in the game. His murder is the mystery.

I'm so excited! 1+2+1+1

We loved this movie when it came out. We knew all the performers and it was wonderful seeing them all together here. We frequently played the game and it's so much fun how well the movie was executed.

Of course there is a Mr. Boddy in the game, ladies! Who do you think is the victim whose murder each player is trying to solve?

"I am going home to sleep with my wife!" For some reason, that is one of the most memorable lines to a movie in my childhood that I can remember

The Butler is Tim Curry You should check him out in: The Rocky Horror Picture Show! Totally different!

Cassie, Carly, this is a most fantastic film for the two of you to watch together. There are so many insanely quotable lines in this film. The whole cast is fantastic. The two that stand out the most, or at least the two that give my favorite performances of the film are Tim Curry and Madeline Kahn.

The best interaction in the movie... Col. Mustard: How many husbands have you had? Mrs. White: Mine or other wives? Col. Mustard: Your's. Mrs. White: 5. Col. Mustard: 5? Mrs. White: Yes, just the 5!

I always laugh at the singing telegram part. It just to funny. Yes someone was shot but it's someone we never want to show up at our doors

Clue is a spectacular film. I stumbled upon this years ago at a video store (when those were still a thing) and rented it on VHS (when THOSE were still a thing), and watched it with my friends. It's an absolute riot, and remains one of my favorite films to this day. I still think this is Tim Curry's finest performance.

This is one of my favorite comedies of all time! The jokes are so quick that you could miss them. Everyone killed it & all had a moment to shine. I’m glad you watched something with Madeline Kahn because she was a treasure, so funny & a very talented singer, you can hear it when they are singing when Mrs. Peacock is leaving. And Tim Curry is another one you need to see more of, he’s a hilarious. I won’t mention the 3 endings since it’s already been discussed but there are so many other fun facts about this movie. Like, there was very little improvising, everything was pretty much written on the page except for Mrs. White’s flame rant, that was completely improvised & along with the guys reaction, it’s the best scene in the movie for me. Also they completely designed the mansion just like in the game, down to where the rooms & passage ways are. Also all their cars are the color of their name, sadly you can’t tell as well since it’s dark & raining. And like you mentioned when you go back & re-watch it you can see the clues. And it was Mustard that put the evidence in the fire, he wanted to burn those pictures

CASSIE & CARLY: Recognize that French Maid? It's the policewoman featured in Die Hard With A Vengeance!

33:58 I swear I have a mandala effect of plum saying “Aw SH*T”

Oh, you girls are in for a treat watching this one. Tim Curry is an acting genius in this.

I'm glad you guys watched this one! It's one of my favorites! Now I'm going to go home and sleep with my wife!

As a person of a certain age, I am so glad there is a younger generation watching Classic.movies. No disrespect to new movbecause they are Great

A bit of info on some of the cast. Mrs Peacock was Eileen Brennan who was in The Sting (Paul Newmans lady friend who ran the brothel and picked the guys pocket on the train). Miss Scarlet was Lesley Ann Warren who among other fine performances played Cinderella in the (I think 1965 version) and if you haven't seen it you should watch. Mrs White was Madeline Kahn who was in Young Frankenstein and a bunch of other movies as well. Really a great cast all around. Don't know if you are familiar with the group The Go Gos but the singing telegram lady was Jane Wiedlen. Several of the others as well had really good success in movies and TV. As always you 2 are so much fun to watch. We all love Cassie, but it's twice the fun when we get to see Carly too.

When this came out to the theatres in 1985, different theatres were showing different endings. It wasn't until it was released on home video, that all three endings were available at the same time. NOW there are certain DVDs that not only allow you to choose which ending to watch, it also has the option to show a random ending, so you don't know WHAT ending you'll get.

Wait… what?! WHAT?!!! I may have seen this film more times than any other in my lifetime (I wouldn’t doubt if it was closer to a thousand times than not… seriously!), so it’s hard to even CONCEPTUALIZE an adult watching it for the first time!!! Oh, I’m here for this!!!

Eileen Brennon played the older woman, the killer in the second ending was also in a very similar who dunnit 11 years earlier with another allstar cast, called Murder By Death, and has some very funny moments in it also, especially with Peter Sellars, Peter Falk, David Niven, and James Cromwell, (now famous for Star Trek and "I Robot" with will smith) but the Butler is played by non other than Alec Guiness of Star Wars fame, he was the original Obi Wan Kenobi, a jedi. He plays a blind butler, there is a deaf mute cook and Truman Capote is their host.

In theaters the three different ending were separated so depending on which movie house you went to you would get just one of the endings.

I swear, Cassie needs to do a Tim Curry marathon. It (1990), Rocky Horror, and even though it’s not that good, he scared the giblets out of me in Legend (1986) as a kid. This dude can make a one star movie earn a one star because he’s in it.

I love the way Peacock’s voice drops several octaves and becomes dangerous-sounding after she’s found out in the second ending.

If you pay attention, two actors never occupy the same space. Just like the game. No two suspects can occupy the same space.

Playing the board game many times before this movie came out made it so fun to watch. They really played up all of the items from the game including secret passages.

My favorite Tim Curry movie. It would be interesting seeing a studio release a film with multiple endings in theatres today.

The amount of times I reference "Flames.. On my face" in real life is borderline psychotic.

@25:49 "Things are getting out of hand!" Never were truer words spoken about the movie Clue!

This is the movie I can quote more than any other, cuz I've probably seen it more than any other as I was a kid when it started airing on HBO in the late '80s. I initially loved the mystery, and by the time I was a teenager in the late '90s, I loved the one-liners and humor. As an adult, I see what they are parodying when I go back and watch older Agatha Christie whodunits like Death On The Nile and Evil Under The Sun (Murder On The Orient Express goes without saying), and the brilliant The Last Of Sheila. This movie takes all of that influence and makes us laugh. Madeline Kahn, Tim Curry and Eileen Brennan are my VIPs but they are ALL perfection!

Hope you enjoyed it. My father liked this one. It brings back pleasant memories for me.

Madeline Kahn (Mrs White) was amazing in this and is SOOO underrated. She had all the best lines in this. Tim Curry carried the movie and Lesley Ann Warren and Christopher Lloyd and Martin Mull and Colleen Camp were all AMAZING.

The singing telegram girl is played by Jane Wiedlin, who you may know as Joan of Arc in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, or more likely, as the guitarist from the Go Go's

When this came out, depending on which theater you went to, you saw one of *three* different endings! 🔎

This is a movie that never gets old! Once you get past the surprises and trying to figure out whodunnit, you can really take in the subtle and dry humor. Ive watched Clue at least once a year since 1985, and I still enjoy it! 1 plus 2 plus TWO plus one! And the way Tim Curry says No. Nyew. I’m going to watch it again! Great reaction, y’all!

One of my favorite movies ever made. Honestly a comedic masterpiece. It. Is. Perfect.

"Flames flames FLAMES. On the side of my face. Heaving, heaving breaths." God I miss her so much.

1985 "Fright Night" should be next

Carly making reference to Kataan has put her on a whole new level for me as a fellow gamer. Loved both your reactions. I have loved this movie and cast and if I'm flipping channels and it's on, I have to watch it to the end, even if only 5 minutes are left. On another note....after the holidays....A movie this reminded me of with an amazing cast and a comedy NOISES OFF I know you both will enjoy it.

When I was in high school, my friend would randomly say Mrs. Peacock's speech she does at the dinner table. Eileen Brennan is flawless 💙

This cast was perfectly chosen. Tim Curry is brilliant as always. the fact that audiences got different outcomes basically chosen at random was genus level. No one really knew which ending they would get.

GREAT movie! Loved watching this growing up! Haha, I was always Colonel Mustard when we played the board game. So sad what's happened to Tim Curry.

Terrific Movie. Really good fun.👏👌

I think Clue is one of the wittiest, most charming and well written/performed comedies of all time.

I saw this movie when I was in high school. The murderer was Ms. Scarlet. Everyone I know saw the movie at the same theater I did and the internet was non-existent. Alternate movie endings weren't even a thing yet so we didn't even find out about the other scenarios until we rented the movie a year or so later from Blockbuster. I kind of miss those days of being blissfully ignorant.

This movie had 4 different endings when it was released And the ending you got all depended on the theatre you went to Different theaters got different copies of the film when it was distributed

And there was Mrs White looking pale and tragic.,,

Leslie Ann Warren was in Will & Grace. But she wasn't Grace. She played Will's father's mistress.

The scene where the poor singing telegram girl gets shot always makes me laugh so hard. A masterful demonstration of using quick cut edits to make a darkly funny scene even more hilarious!

the cook they dropped when she hit her head you have give it to her shes committed.

I love how Wadsworth did a near perfect impression of Professor Plumb.

It blew my mind to find out this movie and Back To The Future came out the same year. I mostly knew Christopher Lloyd from that movie I assumed he was that age not this young.

My favorite comedy movie of all time. Nothing more needs be said. Simply a masterpiece.

When I was in theatre in high school we wrote and produced our own production of Clue, based on the movie. It was a BLAST, and our Wadsworth went just as fast and nailed it just as hard!

This movie never gets old. I watch it at least once a year and laugh my ass off like it’s the first time. It’s an absolute triumph of comedy filmmaking.

Jane Wiedlin played the Singing Telegram Girl. She is the rhythm guitarist and backup singer for The Go-Gos. When/if you watch "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure," you will see her again.

It's funny that Cassie picked Mr. Green and in all of the possible endings, he is the only one that didn't do it

When this movie came out, in December of 1985, my wife and I had been dating for just over a month. A friend of mine, Liz, worked at a movie theater in Plano, TX. After nearly every date, I would swing by the theater. We would sit in the lobby, smoking clove cigarettes, as I shared the events of that evening's outing. Before each showing of the movie, they would run the Ah-Ha music video for Take On Me. That song and this movie both bring back lots of memories from those days. Good stuff.
