This movie was hilarious!!! I don't know why I keep seeing mediocre reviews for this it was so funny and I can see myself watching it again on a rainy day. Tim Curry was top tier comedy as always and everyone else in the cast brought their A game!
Fun Fact: When this movie was released in theatres, you only got to see one of the three endings depending on what theatre you saw it in. I was a kid at the time, and I remember a kid in my class saw it multiple times in different theatres. (Clever way to get people to buy multiple tickets)
Mrs White's 'Flames on the side of my face...'speech is ICONIC. Madeline Kahn improvised it on the spot, which is why Martin Mull's Mustard looks so confused in the background. My cousins and I watched Clue all the time, when staying at each others houses, and got to know most of the lines off by heart.
The actress who play Mrs. Peacock was also in Murder by Death.
Based on some of the dialog, the set design, and the cars, the movie takes place in the early 1950s, when the issue of "homosexuals" in the US State Department, blackmail, and espionage was very current. Speaking of the cars, each guest is first seen driving a car painted the color corresponding to their character. Mrs. White wears black, Miss Scarlet wears green, and Mrs. Peacock (blue) wears gold/yellow, while the men's suits match their names. Mrs. White's confusing "flames on the side of my face" speech was ad-libbed by Madeline Kahn when she forgot her line, and the take was used in the final cut because everyone thought is was funnier than the scripted dialog.
"Professor Plum, you were once a professor of psychiatry specializing in helping paranoid and homicidal lunatics suffering from delusions of grandeur."
I am so glad you watched this movie. I agree, Tim Curry is a comedic genius. Great reaction!
It still gets me how a movie full of dialogue and exposition never stops being entertaining from beginning to end. The great writing along with the amazing performances by skilled actors delivering these smart lines with sharp precision really makes it work. This incredible movie tends to get overlooked, but every time I see it, it continues to impress me.
So nice to see a reactor who appreciates John Morris' score. Morris worked on many of Mel Brooks' most popular comedies.
The actress who played Mrs. Peacock (Eileen Brennan) was also in Murder By Death. She was Sam Diamond's assistant 😃
One of my favorite Tim Curry films. Really allowed him to show off his talent for physical comedy
I've been a big fan of this movie for most of my life. I can quote it pretty much word for word and I love to attend Clue Movie Parties and Quote-Alongs.
Best movie ever.
I would argue that Mr Green aged fine as it is a period piece. Being gay would have been something you could be blackmailed for or ruined by during that time period. It kept it true to the era. Unfortunately it’s what many people had to live during that time.
Mr. Green falling down outta nowhere is about the funniest thing EVER.
Best popcorn flick ever. 🍿
Watched this for the first time last year and it instantly became one of my ultimate comfort movies. It's just perfect for a rainy night, when you feel like cozying up at home.
I can watch this over and over, and it just gets better.
This will always be one of my favorite 80's classics. This is a cult classic, and so damn re-watchable, like The Goonies, or Back To The Future. The 1980's was a hell of a decade for fun films.
Perfect dialog and physical comedy. Very nice and smart reaction. This one has only gotten better over the decades. You really could not assemble a cast like that today.
