I remember when this was released. The 3 endings were never meant to be shown together. Instead, 3 different prints of the movie were made, each with a different ending. How it ended changed based on where the movie showed, or as their ads said, "Whodunnit depends on where you see it." The paper would have showings for Ending A, Ending B, and Ending C. Clever idea, but it really works with all 3 endings smashed together, as it really amplifies the comedic tone of the movie.

Fun fact: The layout of the set is accurate to the game, including which rooms are linked by the secret passages 🕵️‍♀️

The cast in this movie is just so so good. Tim Curry and Madeline Kahn in particular are just legends.

Clue can never be remade. The cast, the script, the comedic timing, were perfection. You cannot EVER replicate this :)

The reason you don’t remember Mr. Boddy, Wadsworth or Yvette is because Mr. Boddy’s the victim in the game and the two staff were just created for the movie

"Clue" has a frenetic comedy to it that I've rarely seen rivaled in any other movie. The cast is amazing. The multiple endings are just the icing on the cake. I've seen it dozens of times over the years and it still makes me smile every time. EDIT: Recommendation for another murder mystery: "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" ('88). Christopher Lloyd is in that one as well.

My favorite bit of trivia about this movie is that it takes place in real time. When Wadsworth announces the police will be there in 45 minutes... That's how long before the doorbell rings with the evangelist who is later revealed to be the police chief. There are obviously cuts and perhaps some inconsistencies, but in broad strokes there are no time lapses or shortcuts, just an hour and change of panicking over this mystery.

you absolutely must see “Murder by Death”, a 1976 comedy mystery. It’s the “Clue” of its time. great cast, great script, great director. a classic.

Going for movies based on Agatha Christie novels would be right up your alley. There are several versions of Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile, as well as 10 Little Indians. Evil Under the Sun from 1981 is a good one. They did a Poirot series starring David Souchet that, by the end, had filmed every Poirot story / novel that Agatha Christie had written. The short stories are about 45 to 50 min as filmed, the novels are from 1 hour 30 to 1 hour 45. The production values are quite high for all of them and Souchet is considered the definitive Hercule Poirot.

Back in the 80's; seeing this in the theater we didn't know which ending we were going to see. Theaters had different ones, it wasn't all put together like this. So when we went back to school and talk about the movie we were confused because everyone saw a different ending. It wasn't until later that we realized there were 3.

If you're looking for a good murder mystery to try and figure out I recommend "Deathtrap". Stars Christopher Reeve and Michael Caine. Great acting, great writing, you'll never figure it out.

You had to go to different theaters in different regions to get all of the ending in my day. Tim Curry, the butler, is a treasure. Singing, dancing, acting and just being awesome. I had the game as kid in the 70's.

Watch this again just to enjoy the comedy; the script, the timing, the brilliant acting... I can watch this over and over again, it always gets me laughing.

Part of the reason the murder is so difficult to figure out is because the script wasn't finished when they started filming. Landis & Lynn thought it would be easier to write than it was, so they just threw out a bunch of murders and figured the ending would come naturally.

Of course the butler deserves an award, he's Tim Curry :D (Frankenfurter in Rocky Horror Picture Show, Pennywise in the original IT, and so much more.)

Thank you so much for doing this comedy classic. The writing, cast, and their delivery is so quick witted and sharp. Simply genius. Btw Mr. Body in the game is always the dead body in the scenario then you find out who killed him.

Nice reaction to Clue, it is one of my favourites as well as the 1976 film Murder By Death. Murder By Death has a fabulous cast and is a film that I have enjoyed time and time again over the years.

This is the kind of movie I wish I had seen when it first came out, because you could actually see different endings, depending on which theater you were on. The three alternate endings were only cobbled together for the home video release. Apparently there was also a fourth alternate ending that was filmed, but was deemed "too dark", and therefore scrapped.

"Rope" is a classic. I support that recommendation.

MMMs = "Murder on the Orient Express" (1974) _(or its remake from 2017)._ "Murder, She Said" (1961) "Murder at the Gallop (1963) "Murder Most Foul" (1964) "Murder Ahoy!" (1965) Basically all the movies based on novels by Agatha Christie

Back when video cassette recorders were popular, Parker Brothers, the company that made the board game, came out with a VCR version. The introduction was done by the butler, Diddit. His name came about because of old murder mysteries, where, in the common ending, the butler did it.

This was a delight, especially because you must be the only person I've ever met in my life (and I'm 62) who ever expected this to be a genuine mystery and only incidentally a comedy. Watching this, it helps to think "spoof,' not "proof." I have a wild card suggestion for a murder mystery -- 1986's The Morning After, starring Jane Fonda, Jeff Bridges, and Raul Julia. It's a fluffy trifle with some easy-listening theme music, but at least it's a whodunit. Good luck!

The THING in front of her face is a VEIL. A number of years ago, a lot of women wore hats with veils attached. My grandmother gave me hers and taught me how to pin them to my hair so I could wear them properly. It is no problem getting used to wearing them RIGHT in front of your face. I like to keep the theme going every time I wear one by also wearing fishnet stockings with a garter belt or fishnet pantyhose! 👱‍♀👱‍♀👗👗👠👠❤❤

The first time I saw Clue, I was still a little kid. My family had a (somewhat poorly) recorded tape of it, and I watched it a lot. I always thought the "real" ending was kind of rushed, but I always liked that Green turned out to be a badass. I mean, he was always the smartest person in the room (except Wadsworth), but in the end you find out that his bumbling was just an act to throw people off. These days, I tend to think of the second ending, with Mrs. Peacock, as making the most sense, because multiple murders is one thing, but multiple **murderers** is just too hard to believe.

I have an unconventional suggestion for a thriller/mystery. "Silver Streak" from 1976. Unfortunately, it's not really the type of story that's set up for the audience to guess the culprit. It is, however, the best pairing ever of Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. It's a mostly serious thriller, but with comedy provided by the chemistry between Wilder and Pryor. Also, it has a really impressive special effects set-piece (for the time) at the end.

So the brilliance of Clue is it Exploits the greatest flaw in murder mysteries, that anyone can be the killer. Most writers choose to hide certain information till the end or present red herrings to throw readers off and then choose who the killer is. Clue not only shows how to make a good murder mystery but explores the flaws of the genre and shows anyone could have done it. Scarlet, Mustard and Mrs White with Evette route, Professor Plum and Mrs Peacock killing everyone Route and finally Everyone kills except Mr Green Route. It's all tied together amazingly well.

Great to see you back Cassie...was searching through some channels a few months back and noticed your disappearance....missed your jump scare counts...! 😁 This is the only version of Clue that I will gladly repeat watch...and Tim Curry's amazing performance...! 🙂

I thought you looked familiar so I clicked on the video. Hearing your voice and seeing your notebook confirmed it, so I subscribed. Glad to see you back.

Hey, Cass! Kudos for reacting to this movie! It's definitely one of my favorites! I saw it in a theater and my multiplex in New York played all three options. You bought an A, B or C ticket which designated the auditorium the specific ending was featured in. I bought the VHS and then the DVD. I must have seen this film over thirty times! It never gets old. Tim Curry gives a tour-de-force performance as Wadsworth. The cast are all comedy greats in perfect sync with each other. It's a wonderful little gem. There's been talk of a remake but this is a lightning-in-a-bottle situation like "Ghostbusters" or "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!" A different cast would change the dynamic completely. You tried to solve the murders but the crimes are incidental to the comedy! While all three solutions hold up under close scrutiny, you're not expected to identify the right culprit although there's no harm in trying. It's really just meant to be a madcap backstage farce all in good fun! The board game is a perennial staple like Monopoly that's been around since 1949! The movie utilizes all the characters, weapons, rooms and secret passages that are components in the game. The board is a representation of Boddy Mansion and Mr. Boddy, the host, is the victim. Another good comedic whodunnit is "Murder By Death" which features parody versions of the great cinematic sleuths like Charlie Chan, Nick and Nora Charles, Sam Spade, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple gathered together by real-life true-crime author Truman Capote. A terrific whodunnit with a psychological twist is "Identity"! Trivia unrelated to the production: Lesley Ann-Warren and Susan Sarandon have been mistaken for each other so often in real life that the actresses agreed to sign autographs using their doppelganger's name if erroneously requested by fans!

OMG!!! I just saw you in this thumbnail while scrolling and immediately recognized you Cass! I’ve missed you and your channel sooo much I literally look up your old channel names on occasion to see if you’ve restarted! I’m so glad you are feeling better and have come back to us. ❤ I have much more to say but I will pace myself. So happy right now 🥲🥰😊

I'm just going to second another commenter's recommendation for Silver Streak if you enjoy a good crime thriller comedy. Clue is one of my favorite games and movies. Every one of the three endings could have happened exactly as described. It's extremely clever. "Yep, two corpses. Everything's fine."

I recommend the murder mystery "Sleuth" with Michael Caine and Sir Lawrence Olivier. It's an acting master class.

So happy to see you're back.

Cass! How wonderful. YT floated "Clue" up to me, and I was delighted to see you. I remember well your particular style of reaction/analysis. I'm happy you're here. Now I have to catch-up. "House of the Dragon," huh? I found it very well-done, and rewarding. Excited to watch your take. Thanks for sharing. Here we go!

So happy to see you’re back!!! Can’t wait to see what’s next! 😊

I am once again asking you to watch The Last of Sheila(1973) It was written by musical theater director Steven Sondheim with actor Anthony Perkins (Norman Bates from Psycho). More people need to know about this movie . Also Deathtrap(1982) a really different dark comedy thats also a very twisty murder mystery thriller. Takes places mainly on one set because it was a play first

My favorite thing is that, when you rewatch it, all three endings do check out in all the details 😃

So many jokes, so many tewists and turns. And of course one _red_ herring. Good to have you back Cassie.

Cass! I'm so glad that you are back and that I found you. You are my favorite reactor. I just got caught up on the new channel. Love the House of the Dragon stuff and Clue was a favorite of mine as a kid. Glad you enjoyed it.

For people who didn’t know what the last line meant, Green earlier said he was a homosexual, but he is infact straight

So glad you're doing reactions again and I hope you're in a better place now! And Rope is an excellent recommendation, I look forward to you watching it!

The funniest part of the movie was you trying to understand what was going on and then going mad seeing so many versions of the events

Really fun to watch your reaction to watching this for the first time. If you've watched Clue as often as I have, you realise that each character's car colour matches their character colour. Even Yvette has a little black and white car parked out front.

One of my favorite movies. I've told many reactors to react to it and most don't. Thank you.

When you are given the news that the police will arrive in 39 minutes, it really is 39 minutes of screen time.

Cass it's great to have you back, you were missed. My recommendation is an ancient mystery film who's title was adopted for a classic magic trick called 7 keys to Baldpate. Also, there is another popular ending for Clue if you search the web. Fun reaction as always.

I'm so glad you're back!!

I'm surprised no one mentioned it... When this played in theatres, only one of the 3 endings was shown (randomly.)

Loved watching you guess your way through this, and your reactions - especially once you realized the ending wasn't really the ending! I'd recommend watching Psych Season 7 Episode 5 "100 Clues" - which does a bit of a homage to this movie ;) They wound up having Tim Curry (the butler) on an earlier episode, so they didn't reuse him for this one sadly. But several other actors from the movie are in it. What was even wilder with this movie, was that when I saw it in the theatre, I saw one of the endings, while a friend from school saw a different ending - which was very confusing for a couple of kids.

She likes the idea of being stranded on the side of the road with a broken car, in the rain. Sounds like she needs to watch Rocky Horror Picture Show.

There is a t.v. show from 1975 called Ellery Queen. Murder mystery, but the twist is it is actually made for the viewer to solve. it gives the viewers time at the end to go over everything, and then the "hero" tells how it was done and by who. this show is tailor made for you.

Clue is so great, cause all the alternate endings, absolutely could be it. They all tie in. Just great.

I had no CLUE you were back. I am happy. This is the 3rd reaction of yours today.

Holy crap. KZfaq finally suggested a video from this channel, which I didn't know existed. I am so stoked you are still/again out here! I have a few months' worth of videos to catch up on.

The struggle to remember the word "veil" was real.

This is a Great reaction! Happy I stumbled upon it! My fondest memory about this movie when it came out is how you didn’t know what ending you were getting.

You are the only person I've ever seen who actually tried to solve it. Everyone else just enjoys the comedy. Watching you overthink everything was almost as funny as the movie itself. I agree with the others who say to do Murder by Death as well.

Ahhh I had no idea you had a new channel! So glad to see you're still around on KZfaq and uploading!

i saw you with the pencil and thought "aww aint that cute..." lol.

I loved your logic behind some of your guesses. In fact, a couple of times, you were on the same wavelength as the characters! I personally felt that the first ending was the correct one, since (in my opinion) it was the most logical.

My first movie with your new channel! Glad to see you're back! This was fun! Thanks! Recommendations: The Nice Guys, L.A. Confidential, and the classics: The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon, The Thin Man, Dial M for Murder, and you've already seen Knives Out... That should keep you for a bit! The Maltese Falcon really solidified Bogart as the quintessential Investigator. Looking forward to more!

Im so glad you are back! Missed you, and your breaking bad series

You should check out the 1986 "April Fool's day" it was my favorite murder mystery movie in the 80's other then "Clue".

I enjoyed your reaction to this marvellous film based on the game. In the U.K. the game is called Cluedo & the murdered person is called Dr. Black, as all names revolve around colours. Also, Mr. Green is called Reverend Green, in other words a member of the clergy. As quite often in British murder mysteries, a local Vicar from a local village, is involved in some way.

I like how the different endings are just like the game Clue. It's just like players making guesses on who did it and with what.

As far as comedy/mystery, may I suggest: _Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982)_ _Fletch (1985)_ _Hear No Evil, See No Evil (1989)_ _The Nice Guys (2016)_ _Happy Death Day (2017)_

Fun Fact: There was originally a fourth ending where Wadsworth was the killer

One of the more famous mystery tv show is Murder She Wrote. It stars Angela Lansbury. Every episode has a murder. It is also pretty funny.

I'm happy you reacted to this, This is Actually My Bff's Favourite movie and one of mine too so I'm very happy when I see people takes on this film

I love how "the body" is named Mr. Boddy.

In the original theatrical release, there were 3 versions, each with a single ending. They were released randomly, with each theater getting a single version. No one was told there were three versions. They just wanted to sow chaos when people talked about the film.

So when Clue released in theaters, the different endings were used as the 'official' ending in different locations. So in New York you may have seen the version where Ms. Scarlet is the murderer but in Los Angeles you may have seen Mrs. Peacock as the murderer. A truly amazing ploy to confuse audiences talking to each other about "who done it".

Clue is my all time favorite movies. When I was younger and when people would come over I would make them watch.

This is a fantastic Murder Mystery, which is a rare genre in movies (At least, in the truest form of a literal Murder Mystery). But if you are looking for Murder Mystery-like movies, here are a few suggestions of many movies of different genres which encroach on it the ol' whodunit that you could find very interesting: - *Seven* (1995); Psychological Thriller/Drama - *Memento* (2000); Psychological Thriller - *Identity* (2003); Psychological Thriller/Horror - *Sherlock Holmes* (2009); Fantasy/Drama/Comedy - *Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows* (2011); Fantasy/Drama/Comedy - *Minority Report* (2002); Sci-Fi/Psychological Thriller - *The Fugitive* (1993); Drama - *Who Framed Roger Rabbit* (1988); Comedy - *The Frighteners* (1996); Comedy/Supernatural Fantasy - *Saw* (2004); Horror/Psychological Thriller

I love how every first time watcher of this movie takes it soo seriously. They actually think they’re picking up on “clues” and solving a mystery. Not till the end do they realize that absolutely nothing was solved and you, the viewer, were the one who was playing a made up game. After seeing it for the first time it becomes a straight up comedy with every subsequent view.

Clue the game was invented in England. In the British version of the game, "Mr. Green" is instead "Reverend Green," an Anglican parson. But when the game came to America, it was considered too controversial for a clergyman to be a murder suspect, so the character was literally defrocked. It makes you think, how would this movie have been different if Green had been a clergyman instead of an FBI agent...

Very very entertaining reaction! I definitely look forward to seeing more!

Knives out and Clue both have very talented casts.

When this first came out in the theaters you'd get one of the three endings. You never knew which you were going to get. That didn't go over very well.

This is my favorite movie ever! Bought the video when I was in college after watching it for the first time on laserdisk! I have been watching Clue for about 30 years.

I saw this when it came out on VHS. It was back in the day that the whole family would sit down to watch a movie at home. It was great then and it is great now. The whole family was floored by the three endings. I was about seven at the time and didn't get all the jokes but still found it funny.

12:49 - "Maybe he was poisoned!" He could not have been poisoned, because each of the classic six weapons was already in play: The revolver, rope, knife, candlestick, pipe, and wrench. Poison was not one of the six weapons. (There was a later expanded edition of the game with more rooms, more suspects, and more weapons- one of which was poison. But that didn't come out until a few years after this film.)

The theatrical release had 3 different endings, and each theatre got one ending. The cable release included all 3 solutions in the ending.

It's kinda funny she mentions that "nowadays...we'd never get in the car with the stranger like they did in the 50's" as Scarlett does with Plum... It's funny because it's 100x SAFER now than then, statistically. Crime, and specifically stranger crime, are at HISTORIC LOWS, and continue to drop 😂

What I love about Clue (the movie) is that it demonstrates just how much of a folly most murder mysteries are. Both in cinema and literature the real solution only looks bulletproof if you don't look at any other possible solutions, because they too in isolation can look bulletproof. Sometimes the solution involves information not available to the viewer/reader making any attempts to solve it pointless. Now when you were young/er was the game you played Clue or Cluedo? It is the same game, but the name was changed for the American market.

🔥 “Flames, on the sides of my face…” -Mrs White Probably my favorite movie. We watch it as a family once a year.

CASS! I was wondering what happened to you. Welcome back.

Never worry about figuring this one out. In writing a mystery story, there are generally two ways writers do it, the good way and the bad way. In the good way, they put all the clues you need to solve it right there in the open. It really well written if they can distract your attention away from them or if the mystery is such a puzzle you can't figure it out. The bad way involves cheating. They hide the clues you need to solve the crime until the investigator of the show is already solving the crime. This is cheating because you aren't even given the chance to solve it, as you aren't given enough information. Clue unfortunately is the type that hides the information necessary, so you could never have solved it. It's not a bad thing though, because it's a comedy, not a murder mystery. Plus, with three separate endings, it would have been incredibly difficult to write. Add to that, the ending us just so much more fun when your surprised, so by doing it the bad way, they guaranteed you hadn't solved it, thus your surprised. Such a fun movie.

The floorpan of the first floor is the same as the boardgame. There is no basement, second floor, or attic in the game. But nothing of consequence really happens there; it's just an excuse to split up. The kitchen, Parlor, etc. are laid out in the same order in this set, as they are on the playing board. The secret passages also lead to and from the same rooms as the board.

This film is one of my favorite classics. There being so many possible endings is pretty unique in terms of the films I've seen.

Murder mystery is not my expertise. But I just realized that there is one I can highly recommend: The Hateful Eight is advertised as a "western mystery". Let me tell you: It IS a whodunit. And one with all the Tarantino magic!

When Ms. White starts talking about how much she hated Yvette, its all ad lobbed, so the looks on the others faces is completely genuine

I missed you, didn't know you changed your channel name. I saw this pop up on my feed and was delighted you didn't quit!

There was actually a fourth ending filmed. It was by far the darkest. Wadsworth poisoned everyone, attempted to escape, and got killed by the dogs. The only remaining record of it are still shots in a Clue "book of the movie" released back in the 80's.

Fun Fact the three different endings where shown in different theaters with a different ending where you saw the movie in theaters in 1985 was one of the alternative endings

The winged creature statues are not "Gargoyles." They are called "Grotesques." Gargoyles are water drains from roofs. Some Grotesques had Gargoyles in their mouths (and other places). But they are still Grotesques.

This was my first time viewing your channel, so forgive me if these are movies you've already seen or reacted to. Fletch is another murder mystery comedy that came out around the same time as Clue. Identity which is more of a thriller and not a comedy at all. And one of my all-time favorite movies, L.A .Confidential. Have to say that I really enjoyed your reaction to this. I was very young when it came out. It didn't occur to me to try to solve the mystery. I just enjoyed the frenetic ride and great performances from some of my favorite actors.

I recommend Rope for a couple of reasons. One - It's Hitchcock at his experimental phase as well as teaming with James Stewart once again. Two - Cassie is a fan of cinema. The more Hitchcock I can recommend for her (or anyone else) to watch, the better. I love sharing my adoration for film with anyone. Hitchcock was the Master and is my Second favorite Director (but really close to being First).

-DEATHTRAP - 1982 - Starring Christopher Reeves and Michael Caine -SLEUTH - 1975 - Starring Micheal Cane and Laurence Olivier (it's on youtube) Both Awesome Mystery Flicks!

Aww, she's taking notes as if she's going to solve the mystery. Like playing Clue solo.
