Morgan Farrell not to mention of the three endings this is the only one that fits the facts. Ending number three makes zero sense because in that version Mrs. White is the one who killed Yvette. How could she? She was screaming in the upstairs bedroom while Yvette was coming down the stairs to enter the billiard room where the murderer was already waiting for her. And in the first ending it makes no sense that Miss Scarlet killed Yvette because Yvette was surprised by the identity of the killer, The killer that according to Wadsworth she was on her way to rendezvous with. In my opinion this is the true ending, Mrs. Peacock killed Mr. body in the hall with The candle stick.
antmagor EXACTLY! Even though the other endings are very good, this one makes the most sense, If someone tries to debunk that lemme tell you. There is no passage in the bedroom to the billiards room(as far as we know.)
I disagree about the first ending, when was it stated that Yvette was on her way to rendezvous with Miss scarlet? That ending actually made a lot of sense to me, including how the killers knew about the secret passages. That said, I agree with you completely about the third ending (which I hated), and I’ll thumbs up your comment for that alone.
This is my favourite ending - it adds so much more depth to Mrs Peacock's character. Eileen Brennan's acting was great - she became so much more sinister/ conniving when she was found out!
Yeah, it's always fun to see a formerly goofy or likable character drop the act and show their true sinister nature, especially with a good actor playing it.
1:25 Great acting by Mr. Green (Michael McKean) as he comes back from the bathroom unaware of what has been going on while he was away, and stops dead in his tracks as he sees Mrs. Peacock (Eileen Brennan) holding everyone else at gun point.
"Is the FBI in the habit of covering up multiple murders?" "Yes, why do you think its run by a man called Hoover" I swear, this movie is such an underrated gem.
What's the best thing to do when you're being held at gunpoint? Sing of course. Lol. Love this movie. I don't care that it's bad or not, I love this film.
You can see Martin Mull look back at Madeline Kahn when she sings those hilarious little fills from 2:18-2:25. "Which nobody can deny (...can deny) Which nobody can deny (...ohhh!)"
She improvised a lot in the movie. In addition to the fills in the song, she improvised the “..flames....FLAMES on the side of my face” speech when Mrs. White admitted to knowing Yvette the maid.
Plum: "Is the FBI in the habit of cleaning up after multiple murders?" Wadsworth: "Of course. Why do you think it's run by a man called Hoover?" One of my favorite question-response parts of the movie. XD
Regardless of what ending you prefer, I do quite like how there's a few common themes around them. 1: Mr. Greene is always innocent. 2: Yvette was killed by a lady. 3: Communism was a red herring. I also like how "and monkey brains though popular in Cantonise cuisine is not commonly found in Washington DC" was referenced again in the final ending.
Although technically, ending C is the only ending where all the guests killed someone. Scarlett killed the cop, Colonel Mustard killed the motorist, Mrs White killed Yvette, Mr Green killed Wadsworth, Mrs Peacock killed the cook, Professor Plum killed "Mr Boddy", and Wadsworth killed the singing telegram.
Main course. The starter was shark’s fin soup. If you pay attention to the kitchen scenes, you’ll see the “dessert” Wadsworth mentioned was chocolate cake.
No one ever hardly notices, but if you look closely at Tim in scenes with Brennan he is always somewhat close to corpsing. He gets by though cause of how awesome of an actor he is. Eileen also always have been another favorite of mine as well. So underrated and very funny onscreen and in real life.
Stephanie McCoy Eileen is very close to corpsing as well, I think that’s why there’s a cut to Plum half way through. Also loving Wadsworth not trusting Peacock not to shoot him in the back, the sideways eyes are a touch of class.
It's a silly thing to wonder, I know, but I can't help but wonder if they ever maintained contact with each other after this. Like Ms White and Miss Scarlet meeting for coffee or Professor Plum and Wadsworth going for drinks.
I always wondered what happened after this ending. Did they all go back inside for fruit / desert and be able to relax and just go over the crazy night they just had.
I know with the introduction of ending three they say “here’s what really happened” But truthfully this is the only ending that fits the facts of the mystery. In ending three (spoiler alert) it’s Mrs. White who kills Yvette but that makes no sense because Mrs. White was screaming in the upstairs bedroom from the lights going out wile Yvette came down the stairs and entered billiard room.
Actually, I think ending one fits the facts best, including how the killers knew about the secret passages. Having said that, I hated ending three and I’ll give you a thumbs up for being against that being the best ending.
The problem that I have with scenario c is Wadsworth already established that if he was the one who killed others why would he tell them how he did it. At the end of scenario c, with his confession of murdering the singing telegram girl. They would have this blackmail him with and blackmail itself. It really doesn't make sense. On top of this, why would Yvette plan on meeting up with Mrs White? I could see Yvette being open to meet up with Miss Scarlett since that was her employer apparently or Mrs peacock who they have no prior connection to. Why would she want to meet up with Mrs White when their initial seeing each other was a mutually unpleasant experience. What Yvette says before she gets killed sounds more like something she would say to Miss Scarlett about seeing every inch of her body but I don't see why she would tell that to Mrs White of the three. It has never made sense to me why Wadsworth would be getting a phone call from J Edgar Hoover If scenario c was true. I find scenario a to be the most accurate followed by scenario B.
"Is that what we had?" goes to vomit "Mrs. Peacock was a man?!" "Is the FBI in the habit of cleaning up after multiple murders?" "Of course. Why do you think it's run by a man called Hoover." "For she's a jolly good fellow..." "One thing?!"
I wish they didn’t stop at just three endings, they could’ve done more separate endings were each character was the killer just to see how every character would turn out in a solo way.
@@PowerRangersandAnimeUnite "In Ending B, where it's revealed Mrs. Peacock murdered all six people, it was revealed that she was actually shot dead by the Chief of Police when he confronts her at her car. After saying they got Mrs. Peacock when Wadsworth and the other five guests run outside, the Chief then turns to Mrs. Peacock's dead body and shoots her again. This was deemed too dark, and Eileen Brennan recorded a new line saying she's the Senator's wife, so that Peacock is arrested instead of shot. However, part of the rejected sequence remains in the film.

@@SupermarketSweep777 IMDB is nothing but unsubstantiated info nowadays. Again, the only smoke we see is the smoke that comes from the squad cars. Nothing more.
My headcanon is that Peacock and Mustard were in cahoots over Senator Peacock's defense contracts, the new fusion bomb, and other war profiteering. Peacock attempted to (she stood closest to him in the lounge) and eventually killed Mr. Boddy and the Cook (both when she wasn't in the billiard room with the others), Mustard tried to grab the gun from Plum in the dark (they were sitting next to each other in the lounge) the motorist (knew he was a war profiteer), Yvette, and the cop (both involved in the sex ring). Take your pick as to who knocked out the power and/or killed the Singing Telegram Girl because it could have been either of them.
The fact that Mrs. Peacock was supposed to be killed her is so evident. -You don't see her after the Chief pulls the gun on her, (Eileen Brannon had to come back to record the "Get your hands off me I'm a senator's wife" Line) -The Cops rushing the scene you can see it's a different ending all together, The Chief is facing the mansion in that scene. -When the Chief holster's the gun he does it cowboy style. -You can see the smoke from when he fired the gun while he holstered it. -When he says somberly "we got her" he's implying he killed her. -When Mr. Green utter's his infamous gender confusion line, he says "Was a man" not "Is a man"

Did you see it in the movie theater? When it was first released, one ending was randomly selected to be played at each showing. The three endings was a gimmick to get people to see the show. The idea was that there were 3 endings and you never knew which one you were going to get. When it was released to VHS they included all the endings. When it airs on television, they may cut 2 endings for time and just go for the one where (SPOILER) all of them did it.
3:18 Mrs.Peacock is supposed to die here, the camera cuts away very quickly as the Chief draws his gun, you never see Mrs.Peacock actually be taken away, and at 3:24 you can see smoke above his head from having shot his gun before he twirls it and puts it away again.
+Daniel Plainview There was also a 4th ending, but Landis and Lynn didn't like how it went, and it got scrapped from the movie. However, the 4th ending is in the Storybook and novelization of the movie.
Jarek Harmening It reveals that Wadsworth did it all, because he just wanted everything in his life to be perfect. So he decided to commit the perfect murder, but left six witnesses. But Wadsworth reveals that the brandy they drank was actually poisoned, and the guests would die in a matter of hours. He goes through the house and rips out the phone lines. The evangelist then shows up and grabs Wadsworth, and demands an explanation. As he begins to explain, he dashes out and locks everyone in, and steals a police car and drives away, only to get supposedly mauled by one of the police dogs.
Oh, awesome. Thanks for the explanation! I don't remember hearing about that ending but on further investigation, they do mention it in the making of Clue article. Have you read the making of Clue? www.buzzfeed.com/adambvary/something-terrible-has-happened-here-the-crazy-story-of-how?.ldbVaYeg0#.jfeD3g5RJ
This ending seems the least plausible to me. How did Mrs. Peacock know about the secret passageways? How could she shut off the electricity to commit the last three murders when we see her still in the cellar when the lights went out?
I guess the reason why they didn't include Mr. Green saying "Is that what we ate?" at 0:52 for the third ending because they figured it would make him less tough for working with the FBI
If I choose to watch the theatrical version of this movie on DVD, then I would hope the DVD player would choose either choose this ending or the 1st ending. 😉
0:10 Mister Green has already been on the end of Wadsworth’s ‘re-enactment’ before, but this time he sees it coming, DIVES out of the way and allows Colonel Mustard to take the beating instead.
The only problem I have with peacock's ending is that how did she kill the motorist, I don't think she knew any of the secret passages plus wasn't she in the cellar.
I agree! I mean Mrs. Peacock killing the cook is viable giving that she is not shown in the billiard room when they check on Yvette. But how would she have known about the secret passage? And when the lights went out she was shown in the cellar. It wouldn’t make sense for her to go up then go back down then up again and kills three people.
@@Ayone-u3h Let me shine some light! I don't know if this is said in the plays or somewhere else, but there's a given explanation that Mrs. Peacock knew the house before since she'd been invited with her husband to parties previously, therefore she could have found out about the passageways beforehand. Although I do agree it is kind of far fetched for her to be able to kill 3 people and then rush back to the cellar unheard.
With Mrs. Peacock being the killer, it does leave a few errors. How did Mrs. Peacock manage to separate from Professor Plum to kill the motorist? In addition, when she shuts off the power, she somehow manages to rush down to the cellar quick enough to act like she doesn't know what's going on and thinks someone is touching her from behind. However, there is another clue Wadsworth never pointed out in knowing that Mrs. Peacock is the killer. When they accuse Mrs. Peacock in the kitchen for stabbing the cook since she was given the dagger and they ask where did she put it, she said she dropped it before she fainted or after she fainted and doesn't remember. But that's an error. Mrs. Peacock didn't faint when she had the dagger. She dropped it in shock from seeing Mr. Body supposedly dead. The only time in the movie she fainted was when she went to the bathroom and Mr. Body appeared. So if the second ending were canon, I think this was a clue that Mrs. Peacock accidentally revealed she was planning on fake fainting when having Mr. Body come out of the bathroom.
Unlike endings A and C which there was a flashback on the respective killings, there was no flashback at all showing any of the six murders committed by Mrs. Peacock.
@@ryanstauffer119 Likewise, there was a flashback of Miss Scarlett or Mrs. White strangling Yvette with the rope, but not Mrs. Peacock doing that. On the same token, you see Miss Scarlett hitting the cop with the lead pipe, but not Mrs. Peacock.
@@bluemountain555 We also didn't get a flashback of her or Professor Plum killing Mr. Boddy with the candlestick and only saw Yvette do it. Or Mr. Boddy's butler if you want to call him that for Professor Plum since that's who he really was in Ending C.
@@ryanstauffer119 I guess to complete the cycle - in ending A you see Miss Scarlett opening the door and shoot The Singing Telegram girl, but you don't see Mrs. Peacock or Wadsworth/Mr. Boddy do that in endings B and C. Ending A is good in that aside from killing the motorist, you see all the other flashbacks. Ending C is not as good in that you only see 3 flashbacks (Motorist, Yvette, Cop) while B is the worst with no flashbacks. So in terms of flashback scenes, ending A is definitely the best in that you see 5 of them followed by 3 in ending C and 0 in ending B.
So did those dogs at the beginning of the movie just die off-screen? Because after Mr. Body tries to break the conservatory windows, they are never seen again.
I did read somewhere that a 4th ending was written, and either didn't get filmed or was cut during editing. In this version, Wadsworth is still guilty. He is not shot by Mr Green. He escapes from the house trapping the others inside with either a ticking bomb, or something equally lethal. The police do not come because (as previously stated), nobody has called them. Wadsworth gets in his car and smugly starts the engine. It is only then that Wadsworth (and the audience) become aware that both dogs are snarling menacingly on his backseat, ready to tear him to pieces. The End.
There’s two things about this movie I still don’t get: 1) Why weren’t we able to any of Mrs. Peacock’s or Professor Plum’s killing? We saw everyone else kill their victims in the endings. 2) How - If they were both upstairs - did Ms. White or Wadsworth (Boddy) kill Yvette or the singing telegram girl?
The third ending is rather weird because of what you pointed out in the second part, Mrs. White couldn't have possibly ran down that quickly (Yvette would've seen her) and neither could Mr. Boddy because he would either run into Yvette or Mrs. White.
And how could Mrs. Peacock have killed Yvette, the cop, and the signing telegram when she was shown in the cellar. Why would she go upstairs to turn off the electricity then back downstairs then up again to kill three people. And how would she have known about the secret passages.
Maybe she went back to the cellar and hit that pipe to give herself an alibi, since professor plum would certainly have heard her. Remember, the electricity switch was right in the entrance to the cellar.
That was the gimmick because of the game, like the game has multiple endings depending of the cards, the movie has different endings. Each showing had a different ending so that you would see the movie multiple times so you can see all the endings

+Daniel Plainview There was also a 4th ending, but Landis and Lynn didn't like how it went, and it got scrapped from the movie. However, the 4th ending is in the Storybook and novelization of the movie.
+Andrew Bookout What was the 4th ending? I'd read the book but it's $230 dollars on Amazon.
Jarek Harmening It reveals that Wadsworth did it all, because he just wanted everything in his life to be perfect. So he decided to commit the perfect murder, but left six witnesses. But Wadsworth reveals that the brandy they drank was actually poisoned, and the guests would die in a matter of hours. He goes through the house and rips out the phone lines. The evangelist then shows up and grabs Wadsworth, and demands an explanation. As he begins to explain, he dashes out and locks everyone in, and steals a police car and drives away, only to get supposedly mauled by one of the police dogs.
Oh, awesome. Thanks for the explanation! I don't remember hearing about that ending but on further investigation, they do mention it in the making of Clue article. Have you read the making of Clue? www.buzzfeed.com/adambvary/something-terrible-has-happened-here-the-crazy-story-of-how?.ldbVaYeg0#.jfeD3g5RJ
My personal favourite
This ending seems the least plausible to me. How did Mrs. Peacock know about the secret passageways? How could she shut off the electricity to commit the last three murders when we see her still in the cellar when the lights went out?
I guess the reason why they didn't include Mr. Green saying "Is that what we ate?" at 0:52 for the third ending because they figured it would make him less tough for working with the FBI
If I choose to watch the theatrical version of this movie on DVD, then I would hope the DVD player would choose either choose this ending or the 1st ending. 😉
Me too 👍
I think this is my favorite ending. Just for the last scene.
0:10 Mister Green has already been on the end of Wadsworth’s ‘re-enactment’ before, but this time he sees it coming, DIVES out of the way and allows Colonel Mustard to take the beating instead.
For shes a jolly good fellow. For she's a jolly good fellow
The only problem I have with peacock's ending is that how did she kill the motorist, I don't think she knew any of the secret passages plus wasn't she in the cellar.
I agree! I mean Mrs. Peacock killing the cook is viable giving that she is not shown in the billiard room when they check on Yvette. But how would she have known about the secret passage? And when the lights went out she was shown in the cellar. It wouldn’t make sense for her to go up then go back down then up again and kills three people.
@@Ayone-u3h Let me shine some light! I don't know if this is said in the plays or somewhere else, but there's a given explanation that Mrs. Peacock knew the house before since she'd been invited with her husband to parties previously, therefore she could have found out about the passageways beforehand. Although I do agree it is kind of far fetched for her to be able to kill 3 people and then rush back to the cellar unheard.
@@ups4697 Or maybe her old cook knew about the passages.
my favourite ending was miss scarlets, and miss peacocks.
This is the one that I prefer to think is true.
R.I.P. Madeline Kahn (1942-1999) (Mrs. White), Eileen Brennan (1932-2013) (Mrs. Peacock), Howard Hesseman (1940-2022) (The Chief) and Martin Mull (1943-2024) (Colonel Mustard).
This is the most unlikely ending for me. Mrs Peacock doesn't seem like the type to get her hands dirty, she would hire a hitman or something
For she’s a jolly good fellow
My favorite ending
With Mrs. Peacock being the killer, it does leave a few errors. How did Mrs. Peacock manage to separate from Professor Plum to kill the motorist? In addition, when she shuts off the power, she somehow manages to rush down to the cellar quick enough to act like she doesn't know what's going on and thinks someone is touching her from behind.
However, there is another clue Wadsworth never pointed out in knowing that Mrs. Peacock is the killer. When they accuse Mrs. Peacock in the kitchen for stabbing the cook since she was given the dagger and they ask where did she put it, she said she dropped it before she fainted or after she fainted and doesn't remember. But that's an error. Mrs. Peacock didn't faint when she had the dagger. She dropped it in shock from seeing Mr. Body supposedly dead. The only time in the movie she fainted was when she went to the bathroom and Mr. Body appeared. So if the second ending were canon, I think this was a clue that Mrs. Peacock accidentally revealed she was planning on fake fainting when having Mr. Body come out of the bathroom.
Unlike endings A and C which there was a flashback on the respective killings, there was no flashback at all showing any of the six murders committed by Mrs. Peacock.
@@bluemountain555 Yeah, I was thinking that too. We got a flashback in Ending A of Yvette killing the cook, but not one of Peacock.
@@ryanstauffer119 Likewise, there was a flashback of Miss Scarlett or Mrs. White strangling Yvette with the rope, but not Mrs. Peacock doing that. On the same token, you see Miss Scarlett hitting the cop with the lead pipe, but not Mrs. Peacock.
@@bluemountain555 We also didn't get a flashback of her or Professor Plum killing Mr. Boddy with the candlestick and only saw Yvette do it. Or Mr. Boddy's butler if you want to call him that for Professor Plum since that's who he really was in Ending C.
@@ryanstauffer119 I guess to complete the cycle - in ending A you see Miss Scarlett opening the door and shoot The Singing Telegram girl, but you don't see Mrs. Peacock or Wadsworth/Mr. Boddy do that in endings B and C. Ending A is good in that aside from killing the motorist, you see all the other flashbacks. Ending C is not as good in that you only see 3 flashbacks (Motorist, Yvette, Cop) while B is the worst with no flashbacks. So in terms of flashback scenes, ending A is definitely the best in that you see 5 of them followed by 3 in ending C and 0 in ending B.
Is that what we ate?
Mrs. Peacock really shouldn't have given Wadsworth the benefit of the doubt when he said that the police weren't arriving.
I know all endings
Bad ending: 1,3,4
Good: 2
Mrs. White singing the backup harmony. 😂
I like #2 the best
The kingdom of heaven is at hand pulls out gun and drops book
Mike Myers must had got the inspiration for Wayne's World ending from Clue.
1:20 that smile!
"Mrs. Peacock was a m a n?"
*smack* !
Wadsworth previously asked the fruit and dessert question earlier in the film prior to the murders.
loved it made me very happy
The one thing that doesn't make sense at this ending. Mrs. Peacock split up from Plum and he didn't notice?
Wadsworth was supposed to be Judge Doom but that went to Professor Plum
0:13-0:14 Mrs. Scarlet is looking like she killed the cop in this ending. a mistake!
I always thought she was just stunned at how Wadsworth was throwing everyone around in his re-enactment.
Mrs Scarlett is so hot
1:03 Colonel mustard work on new fusion bomb
...Anybody care for fruit? ...Or dessert?
The part where they all sing for Mrs Peacock was probably solely written in because of Madeline Kahn being a part of the cast
So did those dogs at the beginning of the movie just die off-screen? Because after Mr. Body tries to break the conservatory windows, they are never seen again.
Maybe they went to sleep?
I did read somewhere that a 4th ending was written, and either didn't get filmed or was cut during editing. In this version, Wadsworth is still guilty. He is not shot by Mr Green. He escapes from the house trapping the others inside with either a ticking bomb, or something equally lethal. The police do not come because (as previously stated), nobody has called them. Wadsworth gets in his car and smugly starts the engine. It is only then that Wadsworth (and the audience) become aware that both dogs are snarling menacingly on his backseat, ready to tear him to pieces. The End.
Those slaps were personal they had enough of him.
The Script Supervisor is Doris Grau aka Lunch Lady Doris in the Simpsons!
The only one who got away with murder in the first 2 endings is Mrs. White.
There’s two things about this movie I still don’t get:
1) Why weren’t we able to any of Mrs. Peacock’s or Professor Plum’s killing? We saw everyone else kill their victims in the endings.
2) How - If they were both upstairs - did Ms. White or Wadsworth (Boddy) kill Yvette or the singing telegram girl?
The third ending is rather weird because of what you pointed out in the second part, Mrs. White couldn't have possibly ran down that quickly (Yvette would've seen her) and neither could Mr. Boddy because he would either run into Yvette or Mrs. White.
And how could Mrs. Peacock have killed Yvette, the cop, and the signing telegram when she was shown in the cellar. Why would she go upstairs to turn off the electricity then back downstairs then up again to kill three people. And how would she have known about the secret passages.
Maybe she went back to the cellar and hit that pipe to give herself an alibi, since professor plum would certainly have heard her. Remember, the electricity switch was right in the entrance to the cellar.
Those who disliked this video...SLAP SLAP!!!!
Let’s be honest the kingdom of heaven is at hand
That’s how the police knew Mrs Peacock’s name.
The kingdom of heaven is at hand 🖐
1:21 plums face
Would anyone care for fruit or dessert?
How does it have this much endings
I think it was because of the game, but it would’ve been better if every character had an ending were they were the killer.
That was the gimmick because of the game, like the game has multiple endings depending of the cards, the movie has different endings. Each showing had a different ending so that you would see the movie multiple times so you can see all the endings
