Weird Versions of Clue 

For the Clue movie when it was shown in theaters, only one of the three endings was shown, and it would be different from theater to theater. It would make it pretty funny to talk about the film to someone who saw it at a different theater

Personally I'd be for an edition of Clue where Choopo just shows up in the crime scene with no explanation and steals everything. Just like what happens at real crime scenes!

A number of people in these comments have already mentioned Clue: On Stage, but there's also a musical version of Clue that has the audience randomly draw three cards to pick the ending and (after limiting the rooms and weapons to only 6 each) allows for over 200 endings! Several scenes had riddles at the end of them that would change depending on the cards drawn that would give hints to the audience.

I remember having the Clue Jr. game where somebody ate the cake, I was shocked to get older and learn it was a game about murder I also remember watching the movie with my dad and feeling that the multiple endings was an intriguing but unsatisfying concept Mr. Green's "I'm gonna go home and sleep with my wife" was an insane final line though, like it's so funny

Oh my goodness, I grew up with those Clue Books! They were absolutely nuts! Every character had a ridiculous Flanderized personality trait--Colonel Mustard was obsessed with duels, Professor Plum was forgetful, Mrs. Peacock was obsessed with manners, Green was greedy, and Mrs. White hated everyone. They were basically Encyclopedia Brown-type books for kids, where there was a puzzle hidden in the narrative of each chapter that there were clues to solve. It ranged from "Who killed Mr. Boddy," "Who was the last person to steal this valuable," "who broke into the safe and stole these diamonds," to wacky stuff like "Which of these clones of Mrs. Peacock is the real one," and "Which person crashed the plane into Mr. Boddy's mansion?" Of course, no one ever actually died or got away with it. The answers would always include these ridiculous explanations for how they were thwarted. I have fond memories of those books!

Fun fact about the Clue movie: there's actually a 4th ending, which has never been released outside of appearing in the extremely rare movie storybook and novelization. In this ending, the Tim Curry butler reveals that not only did he commit all the murders, but that he also poisoned everyone and has no intention of giving them the antidote. After forcing everyone into the attic (iirc they are stated to escape through the window), he starts to drive away in (again iirc) the policeman's car, only to hear a dog angrily growling in the backseat.

My personal peeve with Clue is that you really only need one board since they all play the same (to my knowledge). They have so many cool versions, but once you own one, you own them all.

The reason why Green has that insane final line is because his ‘secret’ that was going to be held against him for blackmail was that he was gay, which, for the 80s was a lot more taboo than it is now (obviously). He states he’s going to sleep with his wife because being gay was a ruse, part of his undercover Mr. Green character. Again, product of its time, and it only really comes up in that scene and the ending scene. Good movie nonetheless.

My favourite version is The Simpsons Clue, where you're trying to find out who killed Mr. Burns. I think it's one of the only licensed version that involves murder.

5:56 ftr, while they play back-to-back on streaming services, during the original theatrical release different theatres had different versions of the ending, the eventual DVD release also included a playback mode that chose one of the endings at random to emulate the theatre experience

Fun fact: the Clue movie was also made into a play (my school did it) and it included the Miss Scarlet and Mrs Peacock endings, it was really cool

You forgot to mention how Mrs. White is canonically dead in the newer iterations of Clue, and now her soul is trapped in an Amazon Alexa.

This is just scratching the surface of Clue weirdness. A few people have mentioned the 90s puzzles in the comments, but there’s also the VCR games. The beach blanket edition. The multiple chocolate editions. The strange game about spies that has nothing to do with anything. The game where you’re trying to catch a thief in a museum. The Hub miniseries where a bunch of kids uncover a group of secret societies founded by the Clue characters. Clue Elimination. And the recent escape room games, to name just a few.

Can you do a video on the absurdities of the Cars franchise? Like how do they function as a society? How do they breathe? I’m sure you can think of many more life changing questions

I had one of those Clue mystery books when I was a kid who loved 5-minute-mystery type things. I remember it confused the everloving shit out of me because each story is apparently its own continuity, which means Mr. Boddy got murdered like five times by different people but they'd all be alive friends in time for the next one.

As someone who is preforming in a CLUE play, I love seeing the creativity in the theming, even on those ones that make you question who thought it was a good Idea

My local community theatre put on a stage production of Clue, and last night was the opening night. Fun coincidence seeing the play/ basically-the-movie, and then see you post this!!

I love how random every topic is. Because of your content, I get to watch videos about topics I didn’t even know I wanted to learn about 😂

They also made Clue jigsaw puzzles. There would be a story to them and everything, and only by putting the puzzle together could you solve the mystery. The twist was that because of that, they couldn’t show what the finished puzzle on the box, which means you had to put the puzzle together blind.

Mr. Greens final line in the clue movie is also probably one of my favorite lines in the movie. Such a funny line after thinking for the whole movie that he must be gay

Anything attached to the FNAF franchise almost certainly has some kind of key lore piece in one line of an instruction manual.

I thought he couldn’t one up himself from the “hi everyone I’m in a coffin” opening, yet here we are with Choopo sneaking into a crime scene

I personally think Choopo’s final line in this video is better and more twistiest than “I’m going home to sleep with my wife”

We need a video discussing the lore of the world this dude lives in bc frankly I’m scared

Clue/Cluedo fan and collector here. I thought I could give some interesting Clue facts here. - The 1985 film is not the only screen adaptation of the board game. In 1990 ITV premiered a gameshow adaptation of the game called Cluedo. The show ran from 1990 to 1993 with four series (season) total and would have several international versions (Australia, Germany, French, Portugal, and Sweden). - In 2011, a five-part tv miniseries called Clue aired on The Hub Network, reimagining the classic characters as teen sleuths uncovering a secret society. - CSI: NY had an episode based on Clue called "Clue: SI", where a serial killer commits murders based on game (Ex. A ballerina (White) is killed with the Rope in a music Conservatory, a redhead woman (Scarlett) is killed the Revolver at Hell's Kitchen, a golfer (Green) is killed with a Candlestick at a golf course (Ballroom)). Oddly enough, the original premise of the Clue movie was about a mystery author receiving Clue cards in the mail, only for a murder committed with a similar matter (Ex. A retired U.S. colonel named James Mustard is killed at the New York Public Library with a Wrench). - Speaking of books, there have been several series of Clue books (alongside many stand-alones): 1. The Clue book series that ran from 1992 to 1998. 2. The Clue Jr books 3. Clue Mysteries and More Clue Mysteries by Vicki Cameron, two tie-in books based on the 2002 edition of the game. The books are much like the original Clue series but a bit more "mature" and full of Britishisms. 4. The Clue Mysteries series by Diana Peterfreund, another teen reimagining where the classic characters are students in an elite private school. That's not to mention the 20+ choose-your-own-adventure Cluedo books released exclusively in France (the game is quite popular over there from what I can tell). There have also been several comic/graphic novel adaptations, with two French exclusive graphic novels released in the early 2010s by Jungle! and two published by IDW Comics. - The game has had a few stage productions, begin with a 1985 play written by British cartoonist and playwright Robert Duncan (which he later reworked into a new play called CUT! after Hasbro revoked the production rights), a 1997 off-Broadway musical, and a stage adaptation of the film that first opened in 2017.

In the 90s. There were some versions of a Cluedo Game Show (UK and Australian) - The UK series is on RU-vid (I highly recommend just watching Series 3) - In each episode, a visitor is invited to the mansion and they are later found murdered. It's up to a panel of detectives to work out which of the 6 suspects is the murderer, which of the 6 rooms the murder took place, and which of 6 weapons (different weapons in each episode) was used for the murder. - Unlike the board game, Mr Boddy and/or Dr Black are not in the TV Show. The mansion is owned by Mrs. Peacock

The three endings play back to back in the version of the clue movie you can watch today. When it came out, theaters would show a random one, so if you discussed it with someone you might have seen totally different endings

I also remember there was a doctor who episode that was a mix of Cludo and Agatha Christie, it was amazing 🤩

Clue FX is not just Clue with a cut out, it has a bunch of unique mechanics

I had the clue books! They were actually super fun and clever, and gave great personalities to the entire cast!

I think the most surprising thing about the Clue movie is that there has never been a version of the Clue game based on it. I do remember that a Canadian gasoline company did have a promotion where they gave out movie-based cards with a gas purchase but that was as close as it got. As for weird versions of the game, USopoly (in the US, Winning Moves in Europe) will take custom orders for Clue games (and Monopoly and Candyland, etc) from businesses for promotional items or giveaways, for example Snap-On Tools Clue (I really thought you were going to start talking about these when you brought in Big Boy). There was also a "The Assisination Game" style version of Clue that came with four tiny Nerf pistols.

There’s also a Clue escape room. It was pretty fun! We had to figure out the murderer’s plan before before it could be completed, so this is another edition where there theoretically isn’t any murder.

I fully believe that ending a movie with I’m going to go home and sleep with my wife would make every movie a masterpiece

There’s also Nightmare before Christmas Clue, which is arguably my favorite version! You have to figure out who kidnapped Santa, what item they used to do it, and what location they stashed him in!

I was crew in my school’s production of CLUE, at closing night, the guy who played the real Mr. Body and the guy who played Mr. Green did a bit where Mr. Body fell to the floor and begged Mr. Green to tell him that he loved him before he died, he had at least two fake out deaths where he was “revived” by his love for Mr. Green, everyone onstage broke, he got a standing ovation at the end of it all.

can we thank these man for the regular and awesome content recently?

There's actually 2 different versions of Harry Potter Clue. There's the film version that is the standard insert franchise here Clue brand game, and a different one with an additional pawn that any player can move to block players in or out of rooms, places that are inaccessible without additional game play and secret passages that have to be unlocked as well.

Surprised you didn't mention Clue Master Detective. Extra players, weapons and rooms for a deeper mystery.

The Screenplay for Clue was turned into a Script for live stage productions of the story. The movie itself is really great, but I do have to say I had an absolute blast with my theater when we did it.

Im always excited for your videos . Because it's always like I'm doing something and I'm stopped on the street by a guy explaining something wild

guys i think this is a clue to something

One itteration you didn't cover were the Cluedo jigsaws. You have a little booklet that tells a story, with Doctor Black (the original victim) being killed and you have to complete the jigsaw and look for clues. Then you can read the final page in the booklet using a red magnifying glass.

Yo man, just wanna say that this content of yours keeps improving and it brightens my day, wishing you the best :))

I have a Simpsons version of Clue at my house. Haven't played it in years, but it exists.

You forgot to mention Clue 2, the one were you're in a museum and somebody plays as the thief trying to steal all of the paintings and get out without getting caught. no joke that actually exists but I don't think they make it anymore.

I was just in a production of Clue (the play based on the movie) at my local community theatre. I was the “Unsuspecting Cop”. A major role, I know.

Those Clue books were actually kind of fun to read, when I was a kid! I bought a few of them at my school's Book Fair! Good times! The movie is also great! 🐱

i remember watching a high school play of the clue movie that used the 3rd ending, it even included that odd line

Man, this channel is severely underrated. I have seen a couple videos now and they are surprisingly good. It reminds me of Sam O'Nella, but in a good way. EDIT: here 7 months later, nice to see bro at 137k subs.

There was also a VHS version of the game, where you actually had to watch scenes on a video tape and try to recall random details (ie. who put down a glass on the table) in order to solve the crime. There might have been a second edition of the VHS game, too... I don't remember for certain. I only own the first one. The wildest thing is: once you played through the six or however many cases were included with the game (they were written in a guidebook with predetermined answers)... that was it. There really wasn't any replayability to it unless you wanted to box it back up for a couple of decades and then replay it again later on when enough time had passed that no one remembered what the solutions were. The acting in the little video clips was atrocious, but still kind of fun in a cheesy B-movie sort of way. Also: this VHS game was based on the Master Detective version which was released in the 80s as an anniversary edition. That version of the game included additional locations, suspects, and weapons. The Master Detective edition can now be found some places like Barnes & Noble, but this is a reproduction version of the original Master Detective set which I'm assuming has a smaller game board and probably doesn't have the carved wooden suspect pieces and all metal weapon tokens.... I say I assume because I own the original Master Decetive edition and the box is MUCH bigger than the new one (and it's MUCH more expensive if you can find a full set that isn't missing any pieces or cards). Information source: Me. I'm a fucking HUGE Clue fan. It's been my favorite board game since I was a kid.

I have Clue FX, which is really interesting. It takes place outside the Tudor Mansion with 4 new characters ( Lady Lavender, Prince Azure, Miss Peach, and Lord Gray, who I think have become main staple characters since) while the usual main suspects are just suspects. Basically the same game, but just a bit different, and to me feels like a DLC of clue, similar to say The Last Of Us: Left Behind to the first The Last Of Us game. And it’s pretty fun. I’d say I love Clue (2005 version) the most, because it’s classic clue but with really nice figures, then FX, then DVD. That’s all I have now, so I can’t say how it’d be after I get another one though.

North Pole Clue is one of my favorites. I just wish they would put more into it. It is like a flimsy box and generic game pieces but the story attached and the elf names and the implications of a North Pole murder mystery. I feel like they should rerelease it with more effort or make it a digital game.

The Clue movie is the best movie I have ever seen in my lifetime, and no other movie can replace the #1 slot except maybe the Monopoly movie if Hasbro were to make one, or if they were to remake the original with Daniel Craig.

i was supposed to be in a stage production of clue (based on the movie) that got canceled. still one of my favorite shows, even if it never made it to opening night

I had no clue that this was a thing at all, thanks

The movie you mentioned, I'm actually in production of a play for it at my local theater. All the endings are treated as what could've happened while the one you just named is the "true ending." Except . . . Plum didn't murder Mr. Boddy. He murdered a singing telegram girl because he's a pedo and that was the girl he was sleeping with, who was also the daughter of his boss. I understand why you said what Green says at the end is such a plot twist, though we take it a step further. For the guy who plays Green, we make his pants fall down after saying the line after he says it with much more confidence than the guy who plays Green in the movie does. 🤣🤣

Mr. Green at the end of the movie says "I'm gonna go home and sleep with my wife" because at the beginning of the movie it is established that the thing he is being blackmailed for is being gay (its 1954) so in the 3rd ending (also the "true ending" bc it's stated "this is how it actually happened") he says that to show that he wasn't actually being blackmailed and that this was a setup the whole time. I only know this off the top of my head bc Clue is one of my fav movies! (there's also this great bit at the end of ending 3 where someone is like "so you're a cop?" and he's like "no im a plant!" and Mrs. Scarlet says "I thought men like you were usually called a fruit" which i just think is very funny)

Definitely owned the Jr version at 1:18 haha

Clue SNES is pretty weird because it's not just a simulation of the board game (it would be annoying for players to convey information secretly) Instead the game gives public hints to all players and you have to narrow it down from that

I grew up with “Mystery At Hogwarts”, which was basically Harry Potter Clue, but I guess they didn’t pay for the “Clue” name. Instead of a murder, you were trying to figure out who cast what spell where. One thing I specifically remember was that Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco Malfoy all had character portraits on their cards, but for some baffling reason, Crabbe and Goyle were just black silhouettes.

if you want a real challenge, a game similar to clue(do) is Baker Street. Brits may know it and it is stupidly ridiculously difficult as every location you visit gives you a riddle/clue to either the murderer, location, or weapon (or sometimes, "there is no hint here!") and because it was made in the 60s, everything is outdated but yeah great fun lmao

Now I wanna know how the Boston Tea Party and Space Chimps are part of the Zelda timeline

That final line was so lost on me until I rewatched the movie and realized: He said he's being blackmailed for being a homosexual, which means that with that line, it's the most obvious lie in the movie.

Can’t believe you didn’t talk about the musical and play versions of clue

MY FAMILY SAT DOWN TO PLAY CLUE TODAY and I was looking up stuff about it. Anyway awesome video dude 👍

I wish there had been an Alvin and the Chipmunks version of Clue. The 80s Chipmunks had soooo many episodes where the characters played detective AND there are exactly 6 Chipmunks and Chipettes who each have their own distinct signature color. Just to name a few of the mystery themed episodes there’s… Dreamlighting Elementary, My Dear Simon The Brunch Club Mystery Of Seville Manor Maltese Chipmunk Chip Tracy Chipmunk Vice The Secret Life Of Dave Seville The Cruise The Chipmunk Who Bugged Me

I have a version of clue in German. My grandma gave it to me and my sister and we always have fun going to the library as we can say “Bibliothek”

When I was 12 I told my parents that I wanted Cluedo for my birthday. They got me Cluedo jr who ate the chocolate cake. I got so mad cause the premise was so stupid. Unrelated but I got Harry Potter Cluedo for myself for my own birthday last year and I love it.

Something fun about the movie, is that it was adapted into a play. The play has 6 endings instead of only 3

Nickelodeon and Parker Brothers (a brand of Hasbro) were currently planning on releasing Clue: The Loud House Edition

Bro clue jr with the last slice of cake in what room with what beverage was literally my entire childhood

Want to know what would be cool? A Clue cartoon show based off of those old Hanna-Barbera teen-mystery-solver cartoons like Scooby-Doo, Josie & The Pussycats, Speed-Buggy, Captain Caveman & The Teen Angels, Jabberjaw, The Funky Phantom, etc, where the Clue gang (Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, Professor Plum, Ms. White, & Mr. Boddy) are college students who solve mysteries. & for the actual mysteries, they could just adapt the ones from the books into the Scooby-Doo formula.

I love the reason for Green’s final line in the movie, since he claimed that the blackmail on him was that he was gay

I don't know who will see this, but. I own both FNaF board games by Hasbro. I'll say that the CLUE version is better than the Monopoly version, as they actually implement pretty well the game theme into the board game perfectly, unlike Monopoly, which has grammar issues, some cards don't make sense, and the house/hotel aren't changed to something fitting to the property, which are the animatronics. Also, for Clue, they added a fantastic mechanic (probably other version has it, not sure): There's a ? in one of the dice, and in the board, when landing on it or rolling it, you get to draw a card from a pile, it can be helpful such as moving to one room you want, peek someone's card, etc. BUT, there's a catch, which is 8 Purple Guy cards in the pile. If all 8 are found, the game ends automatically, and all player loses, even if they had the guess correctly.

The Clue books were awesome! My siblings and I used to take turns reading them. The jokes were great too.

We had some Clue VHS Mystery games when I was younger. Basically acted out "whodunnit" cases. I think there was also some pc game variations that played out like adventure games but pretty much the same premise as the vhs games.

5:05 finally someone realizes

Clue also got adapted into a musical! I would assume it’s based on the movie. I don’t know too much about the show other than it’s the same characters but definitely a cool adaptation

No mention of Murder at Boddy Mansion? The PC game that came in a cereal box?

This is a criminally underrated RU-vid channel

YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS S CHOOPO UPLOAD!!!! BABE WAKE UP

In the movie theaters they played different endings to confuse people

I have seen The Clue Movie and I can confirm it is one of the funniest movies I’ve watched

Want to hear a story that I don’t know who else to share this with? I played the Harry Potter edition with my mom, dad, and brother. My mom went third, went into a room, made a singular prediction, and got it right. Then, my family members abandoned board game night. I am mad at this board game to this day.

Choopo: talks about talking about the kool aid man Choopo now: talks about the kool aid man

Came because I was bored. Subbed because of the mini FNAF rant you did. The algorithm doth smile upon me today.

The lore behind the coolaide man is that he actually wants to become a firefighter.

The 3rd Clue ending is also the stage play ending and i swear to fucking god trying to light that in a seamless way was such a pain

2:44 and my Interpretation of it is basically about the animatronics finding out who killed the night guard first because they all wanted to kill the night guard before the other and at the end the animatronics all get angry at the animatronic for killing the night guard first and they then dismantle the culprit

The reason Mr Green’s character says he’s going to sleep with his wife is because the reason he’s supposedly being blackmailed is because he’s gay

I absolutely love the clue movie, I've watched it so may times I know it word for word, and have different versions of the board game like nightmares before christmas, fnaf, the new Hasbro version with Orchid, and the original, I've also seen the clue play (or what was said, clue the musical). They even talked me into making my own version with my characters that I voice in for animes

Don't make me summon the chaos penguins, Choopo! Poptropica lore video or prepare for the feathered mayhem.

Cluedo had a anniversary board game of the movie

My favorite version of clue is the one made by haiku games an indie game studio that makes cute little point and click adventure games

battleblock theater and club penguin fishing minigame music in this video. you have fantastic taste

"I'm gonna go home and sleep with my wife" is honestly...such couple goals. i wanna be mr. green one day.

Choopo never misses

2:02 damn my boy Grinch BRICKED tf up

I actually saw a stage play based on the movie. This one had SIX FALSE ENDINGS!

We should never forget Clue featuring SCOTT WOZNIAK from the hit series SCOTT THE WOZ
