Oh how I wish this existed when I was a kid and found this game in the crawlspace haha. We liked the game but going back and forth on the tape was so tedious!
If any cast or crew members read this, I want you to know that the original Clue VCR video was MY original Clue movie growing up. I didn't see the big screen one with all the famous actors until years later. But I watched this over and over again with my sisters in the late 80s and early 90s. We actually even played a few times, but it was complicated and not suited for our young, short attention spans! You all have a special place in my heart and I am so glad the original video is up on RUclips for me to watch. Thank you all!
I just wanted to say that when I was in high school, my theatre director was the actor playing Professor Plum in this. We quoted this movie to him many times! He’s a lovely man and I’m sure he’d be thrilled to hear that you loved it so much 🥰
I vividly remember watching this obsessively as a child in the 80s while never playing the game. These actors are so over-the-top that it introduced me to the soap style. I can still quote this to this day.
I know this is only interesting to me, but Professor Plum was my old theatre director, Jack Neary! He was always energetic and creative. It’s so great and funny to see this lol
My family played this game so many times when I was a kid and even as a teen and young adult. Now I'm a wife and mom myself and the box has been sitting in top of a closet because we don't have a working VCR anymore. My brother found this and voila! We're playing it with my son. So awesome.
Mrs. White (the maid timing the roast) would have had the white white wine. She's "color blind" and can't actually tell what color the white wine is. This is also why she wears mis-matched shoes and has monochromatic clothes choices. On a related note, UB40 prefers red red wine.
We had this game back when it was new and I used to watch the video repeatedly back in the 80's. I thought I was extremely weird for liking it. But I actually wanted to do a real life Murder Mystery Weekend at a hotel somewhere. BTW, watching it repeatedly made playing the game too easy. It was cheating in a way.
"I think hemlock is quite sufficient..." "But curare is better! Like my daddy always used to say, give me a good Neuro muscular poison any day!" Words to live by, people, I hope you're taking notes!
Chapter 1, # 5. Blue Cards. Three victims, three murderers, three different weapons, three different rooms. I didn't win. I was missing one piece of critical information, and my brother beat me to the accusations before I could find out.
I absolutely LOVE this. It just looks like it was so fun for the actors to do this. Also I think my favorite part is 44:19 when Peacock has a gun and Mustard as a knife at each other’s back running into the room lmao.
I found a copy of this at a yard sale for .25 cents when I was 11 years old. I wore the tape out in 2 months. I must have watched it 30 times. Today ,out of nowhere, I remembered it . Thanks for sharing this
I played this game with 3 separate friends; no matter who I watched the scenes with; it was absolutely hysterical and incredible over the top acting! Loved it !!!
I'm he butler, "Didit" Love that pun... I used to watch this when I was a kid just because I liked to watch it.. Even without the game... Good memories.
I'm so happy I'm not the only one who watched this and never play this version. This was my Clue growing up. I didn't even know there was another Clue movie
I never had anyone who wanted to play this with me so I just watched the VHS tape a hundred times. This one and the 2nd one where they travel to some exotic place (I can't remember where!) It's so cool this popped up on my feed.
My cousin got this when we were kids and we LOVED playing it. If I remember correctly we even mailed Parker Brothers a letter we wrote about more solutions because we played each puzzle sparingly.
My freind sent this to me today. Recently I found the vcr clue game in my grandmas storage room. I've never seen it before and thought it looked like fun, but alas no way to play because my gma diesnt have a vcr player anymore 😥 So when I got this sent instead, boy was I happy. 😄
Was not expecting to find this such a fun watch, and I finally understand who Mr Brunet, Peach and Mr. Grey are! Grew up playing classic Clue and these were not on it, although I played some versions where they were there
For anyone that collects guns from movies, the "revolver" appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 17, either a 17-4, 17-5, or 17-6, with a 4-inch barrel, chambered in .22LR.
It is interesting to note that with a few exceptions, there isn't too much of a mention of the secrets from this episode in the second installment of clue. In Clue 2: Murder in Disguise, Brunette and Peach act more like they are lovers than father and daughter. There is no mention at all about Mrs. White being Sgt. Gray's mother, or even Sgt. Gray being Mme. Rose's nephew. Also, Plum and Green seem to get along a lot better in the second one, and Mustard seems to work for Scarlett. There is absolutely no mention whatsoever about Mrs. Peacock being a thief or killing off her husbands in number 2. It is more of a comedy than this one was. In number 2, they all seem to get along better.
As a kid, I got this for Christmas the year it came out. I still have it. Yet, I’ve only played once. I’ve watched the video and not played more than a few times. I can’t explain why…. Just has a comforting vibe.
I never learned how to play this game. Was always puzzled by it. Nowadays I guess you could put these scenes up on a RUclips channel. This game is now a garage sale collector's item. If this was shot today, Scarlett could be played by Constance Wu.
Well 11 yr old me had such a crush on Scarlet and Peach( even though I don't care for her southern bell voice). Now that I watch it so MANY yrs later, I can only guess I liked ms Peach on the vhs cover and not in the movie itself. Still love Ms Scarlet.
So many memories from this! I only actually played it a few times, but I watched it over and over again as a kid. All fans of this and its sequel should watch this documentary made regarding the making and legacy of the games. I didn't realize how big of a following this had: ruclips.net/video/5RT6PgGGlMY/видео.html
Another thing I noticed. When it cuts to the scene of them in the conservatory, when M. Brunette is about to read the will, Mr. Green is reading Mrs. White's diary. Mrs. White is asleep next to him and when she gets up, her diary is on Mr. Green's lap, right next to her. It is a wonder she didn't see him with it then, instead of asking who stole it.
Here is something to notice. When Miss Scarlet and Colonel Mustard are sitting together on the couch drinking out of mugs, notice that their mugs are opposite colours: Scarlet's mug is yellow and Mustard's mug is red. Suppose that was a goof, or was that meant to be seen, for viewers to notice?
I'm pretty sure it was meant to be noticed, and probably one of the game cards tells you something about the one drinking from the red cup or drinking from the yellow cup.
Resolution? You mean John Body's death? Well, let's see who the suspects are. Let's start with the ones that couldn't have done it: Mrs. Rose - Not a suspect. While "Spectral Evidence" has been inadmissible in courts in the United States since before 1700, she proved that she can, indeed, contact spirits (or so it appears). Why would she try to contact her brother to find his killer, knowing that she can actually do it, if she, herself, did it? Sgt. Grey - Not a suspect. He was in a mental asylum at the time. Ms. Peach - Not a suspect. Not involved with the swindle at the time of Body's death, and her appearance was a mystery to Mrs. White (who seemed also to serve as Body's secretary, and keeper of secrets), and, crucially, Didit, who's a neutral party. Now, the ones who "likely didn't" do it, for various reasons. Col. Mustard - He inherited the Mustard family fortune after his brother's death and showed no signs of excessive greed. While Body did know (but could not prove) that he murdered Reggie in Sumatra, and knew that Mustard was a spy at the time, Mustard is retired and seems to have no immediate need for money. He just wants to be a spy again. He has no Motive for killing Body, and the Modus Operandi of the killing doesn't fit. Mrs. White - They were very close, having an affair, had a love child, and so on. Unless Body suddenly decided to fire her (Rose does not indicate any hint of this, and she'd be likely to know) or end their relationship otherwise (no indication - in fact, the opposite, she acts like a grieving widow), she would have no Motive to kill Body, and additionally, seems to be the only one without a criminal past. At the very least, not a violent one. Miss Scarlet - She's a spy, possibly an assassin, but one with a basic code of conduct (if not, her superior skill and youth would allow her to murder everyone in the mansion, if she was motivated to do so). The only reason she'd have to kill Body is if he threatened to go to the authorities to expose her espionage. However, were that the case, why not kill Mrs. White as well, at the same time, and take her diary? Mrs. Peacock - She kills husbands, not friends, and Mr. Body knew this. Otherwise he would have distanced himself from her, purely out of self-preservation. No Motive, wrong Modus Operandi. Now, the juicy parts - the ones with real Motive! Prof. Plum - He murdered Body's daughter, and fairly recently. Body may have confronted him about it, as a Gentleman is wont to do if they were raised in that era (up until about 1970) and possibly offered him a chance to commit suicide instead of standing trial. That, or exact revenge for his daughter and kill Plum himself. Motive: Staying out of jail and/or staying alive. Mr. Lyman Green - He's a mobster. He may have threatened to expose Green having stole money from the Mob, before that became public knowledge. That, or a business venture between them went horribly wrong and cost Body money - money he felt Green may have morally "owed" him. This is a stretch, however, and Green is the "least of the most" likely suspects. Motive: Same as Plum's. M. Brunette - The MOST likely suspect. Look at his reaction to the first will. Look at his reaction to the second. Look at the con game he and Peach were running. He KNEW the second will would allow him to seize Body's fortune, with a little con artistry to have Peach impersonate Body's mystery child - a plan they had already agreed on long before the weekend started. Motive: Greed. This is all based on everything seen being taken at face value and without any off-the-wall, not-seen-on-screen facts (like, the Butler being the murderer for no apparent reason). Draw your own conclusions.
I got this back in the day, and I still have it! I genuinely think this is better than the Hollywood _Clue_ movie, both truer to the source and more entertaining. Getting a copy of the sequel remains one of my game-collection tasks.
I don't know if this was meant as a blooper or just something put in there for someone else to notice, but in one scene, Miss Scarlett and Col. Mustard are drinking out of alternating mugs to their respective colours -- Mustard is drinking out of a red mug and Scarlett is drinking out of a yellow mug.
For those who wanted to know the six original suspects on a first name basis?: Vivian Scarlet(t), Michael Mustard, Elizabeth Peacock, Jonathan (NOT Lyman) Green, Peter Plum, Blanche White.

Oh how I wish this existed when I was a kid and found this game in the crawlspace haha. We liked the game but going back and forth on the tape was so tedious!
I used to just watch this all the time without even playing the game when I was a kid for some reason it was entertaining as hell
Same here..to a kid movie is hilarious
Same here!
Ditto
I thought I was the only one! As a kid I could never, and as an adult still can't make any sense of how to play the game. But I loved the video.
It was well acted

That's pretty cool. It's interesting when there's someone in the comments that knows someone in the video
He was my theatre director, too! I was just showing this to my son.
How cool is that?
everybody just casually fidgeting with their lethal weapons
They are all guilty until proven innocent.
My family played this game so many times when I was a kid and even as a teen and young adult. Now I'm a wife and mom myself and the box has been sitting in top of a closet because we don't have a working VCR anymore. My brother found this and voila! We're playing it with my son. So awesome.
I love that the "white" wine is all brightly colored to match the suspects 🤣.
John Palermo the only thing I find a bit weird that plum got clear white wine it would have helped if it was purple
Color-coded killers.lol
@@coreymcalister9212 Was that why Plum was like “Uh, no thanks.”?
Mrs. White (the maid timing the roast) would have had the white white wine. She's "color blind" and can't actually tell what color the white wine is. This is also why she wears mis-matched shoes and has monochromatic clothes choices.
On a related note, UB40 prefers red red wine.
@@coreymcalister9212 I agree. Though they probably just didn't have purple food coloring.
Had this in my house as a kid, watched this dozens of times, never once played the game.
Same here
Same here!
Omg me too
Yep same here, I distinctly remember the music of video itself here I am 30 some odd years later
Played it once, never finished it and that was over 30 years ago.
“The knife slipped off the wall, flew across the room & missed her by a hair!” Lmfao!!
Miss Scarlett just causally handing Mr Doneit the cards always makes me laugh.
This is an 80s camp classic. I love it!
HOLY MCJEBBUS!!! THIS VIDEO JUST POPPED INTO MY HEAD AFTER MORE THE 20 YEARS!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
No strangers?
No strangers.
Good.
Mrs Peach, a stranger
"I was never in Sumatra!"
LMAO 46:45 Madame Rose coming out of the bushes.
This entire movie is so bad that its so good. I laugh and watch it over and over.
We had this game back when it was new and I used to watch the video repeatedly back in the 80's. I thought I was extremely weird for liking it. But I actually wanted to do a real life Murder Mystery Weekend at a hotel somewhere. BTW, watching it repeatedly made playing the game too easy. It was cheating in a way.
Wow, brings backs 30 year old memories, used to play it a lot with Mum and my sisters
I swear to god I think of Mrs. White everytime I windex a mirror
lol
I always loved watching this, even though I never played the game, but loved it!
"I think hemlock is quite sufficient..."
"But curare is better! Like my daddy always used to say, give me a good Neuro muscular poison any day!"
Words to live by, people, I hope you're taking notes!
I played this game for the first time in over 25 years tonight, and it is still a lot of fun.
kev3d which case mystery did you decide to play?
Chapter 1, # 5. Blue Cards. Three victims, three murderers, three different weapons, three different rooms.
I didn't win. I was missing one piece of critical information, and my brother beat me to the accusations before I could find out.
kev3d who was your personal identity?
G Sici Mrs. White.
+Kev3d How did you play? Do you have the other parts of the game still?
i like how they slip in the Parker Bros. reference. @21:58
54:48 "I like to take things. It supplements my income" I love this goofy game
To this day I remember that white wine doesn't need to breathe
A: "I think I have have amnesia."
B: "You have had it a long time?"
A: "Ever since I can remember."
LoL.
I absolutely LOVE this. It just looks like it was so fun for the actors to do this. Also I think my favorite part is 44:19 when Peacock has a gun and Mustard as a knife at each other’s back running into the room lmao.
Borat the lawyer.
Better writing, acting and effects than some blockbuster movies. XD
I found a copy of this at a yard sale for .25 cents when I was 11 years old.
I wore the tape out in 2 months. I must have watched it 30 times. Today ,out of nowhere, I remembered it . Thanks for sharing this
I played this game with 3 separate friends; no matter who I watched the scenes with; it was absolutely hysterical and incredible over the top acting! Loved it !!!
I watched this a thousand times as a kid, every moment is burned into my memory.
I'm he butler, "Didit" Love that pun... I used to watch this when I was a kid just because I liked to watch it.. Even without the game... Good memories.
Miss Peach's headlights are permanently on.....
lol omg
That's going to drain her battery quick.
I LOVED this game!! I had both of the VCR games and absolutely loved them! I wish I could find them again! Thanks for the upload!
I always play Miss Scarlet when I play this game, she gets to move first.
That's a real bitch move
Me too. I’m always Ms Scarlet lol
So much nostalgia; thank you for posting this on RUclips
OMG the memories. I used to watch this all the time when I was a kid back in the late 80s and early 90s. Such a throwback
I'm so happy I'm not the only one who watched this and never play this version. This was my Clue growing up. I didn't even know there was another Clue movie
I never had anyone who wanted to play this with me so I just watched the VHS tape a hundred times. This one and the 2nd one where they travel to some exotic place (I can't remember where!)
It's so cool this popped up on my feed.
You are seriously my hero!! :)
this game was complicated af
Thanks for posting. I used to love playing this and watching the video.
22:41 If Plum had kept his mouth shut, he could have won the game
The butler’s name is “Did It”? THAT IS A CLEVER PUN!!!
I knew Sargent Gray was off his rocker.
Madam Rose too.
9:25 - "...and be a good loser.
After you've proved your BRILLIANCE in Game One..." 😂
Oh wow, thanks so much for posting this!!!
My cousin got this when we were kids and we LOVED playing it. If I remember correctly we even mailed Parker Brothers a letter we wrote about more solutions because we played each puzzle sparingly.
My freind sent this to me today. Recently I found the vcr clue game in my grandmas storage room. I've never seen it before and thought it looked like fun, but alas no way to play because my gma diesnt have a vcr player anymore 😥 So when I got this sent instead, boy was I happy. 😄
As a kid I just loved watching the tape. Didnt care to much for the second one but still watched both
"What time is it? There's no clock in here. Then what is that sound? Im timing a roast." bing.
Mrs. Peacock: "Well I don't trust her, that's all I have to say."
Prof. Plum: "You don't think we're having roast?!"
Me: LOL!
"Oh Boddy... Oh Boddy...."
**DING**
**jumps up**
"Mrs. White, PLEASE!."
Oh god. Mountains of euphoric nostalgia I didn’t realize was inside me.
i remember Santa giving me this for Christmas
I believe it was Christmas 1986 for me.
Such a great game, we played it all of the time at my cousin's house.
I love this movie!! :D Thanks for sharing!! I think I've still got the VHS tape, but all my VCRs seem to eat tapes these days!! :P
56:31 Those have got to be the strongest dang fridge magnets I've ever seen
I was never in Sumatra!
i still have this tape, but sadly i taped over it many years ago. stoked to see it again!
+Christopher Weber Please tell me you accidentally recorded a broadcast of "Chess" over it, coz that would be sublime.
oh that Ms. Scarlet!
Was not expecting to find this such a fun watch, and I finally understand who Mr Brunet, Peach and Mr. Grey are! Grew up playing classic Clue and these were not on it, although I played some versions where they were there
I love at the end how every one is cossing chaos and the Bulter is so casual.
Thankyou so much for uploading this gem.lol
For anyone that collects guns from movies, the "revolver" appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 17, either a 17-4, 17-5, or 17-6, with a 4-inch barrel, chambered in .22LR.
The butler is the only person in this who is not up to anything nasty.
He's the innocent survivor.
Shows what you know, he has a lucrative side hustle selling counterfeit Fabrege Eggs.
It is interesting to note that with a few exceptions, there isn't too much of a mention of the secrets from this episode in the second installment of clue. In Clue 2: Murder in Disguise, Brunette and Peach act more like they are lovers than father and daughter. There is no mention at all about Mrs. White being Sgt. Gray's mother, or even Sgt.

There is absolutely no mention whatsoever about Mrs. Peacock being a thief or killing off her husbands in number 2. It is more of a comedy than this one was. In number 2, they all seem to get along better.
Or Mrs. White and Sgt. Gray being colorblind.
Yes, there is. Watch it again. Peacock goes on the run because she is wanted for murder
I fucking love this
Thanks for posting!!!
i found it thanks i used to love playing this game when i was young
Scarlet: I will have the professor's formula by morning! I must cut off now!
*_Professor Krabs?_*
The videos are hilarious and the game was fun.
As a kid, I got this for Christmas the year it came out. I still have it. Yet, I’ve only played once. I’ve watched the video and not played more than a few times. I can’t explain why…. Just has a comforting vibe.
I never learned how to play this game. Was always puzzled by it. Nowadays I guess you could put these scenes up on a RUclips channel.
This game is now a garage sale collector's item.
If this was shot today, Scarlett could be played by Constance Wu.
Miss Scarlett, the viper in godess's clothing.
I played this game once and I loved it.
I remember this as a kid... showing my age!!! lol
Awesome Memories..Thanks Alot;)
Well 11 yr old me had such a crush on Scarlet and Peach( even though I don't care for her southern bell voice). Now that I watch it so MANY yrs later, I can only guess I liked ms Peach on the vhs cover and not in the movie itself. Still love Ms Scarlet.
So many memories from this! I only actually played it a few times, but I watched it over and over again as a kid.
All fans of this and its sequel should watch this documentary made regarding the making and legacy of the games. I didn't realize how big of a following this had:
ruclips.net/video/5RT6PgGGlMY/видео.html
This is a great game!!!
i still got this on vcr:)
27:05-27:25: 30 or so years before RUclips Social Experimenters/Pranksters, there was Didit.
“Just my little joke” says the man lol
Another thing I noticed. When it cuts to the scene of them in the conservatory, when M. Brunette is about to read the will, Mr. Green is reading Mrs. White's diary. Mrs. White is asleep next to him and when she gets up, her diary is on Mr. Green's lap, right next to her. It is a wonder she didn't see him with it then, instead of asking who stole it.
Too many rules, I'll just watch the movie!! :-)
Mr. Body sure was paranoid, 1 will, a second will incase the 1st will got destroyed, and a 3rd will just incase the 2nd will got destroyed
Why I never got to play with my family:
4:13 "it's up to you to solve them."
"But i don't wanna solve murders! 😫
...fine, i solve murders..."
Some blue wine, Ms.Peacock?
Wow haven’t seen this in over 28 years
I still have this and clue 2. What's weird I still can recite this word for word. Thank you so much for uploading this. How did u do this?
Me tooooo! Lol
Here is something to notice. When Miss Scarlet and Colonel Mustard are sitting together on the couch drinking out of mugs, notice that their mugs are opposite colours: Scarlet's mug is yellow and Mustard's mug is red. Suppose that was a goof, or was that meant to be seen, for viewers to notice?
+MichaelBrookham Mrs.White is color blind. :p
When they were in the dining room miss peach notice the plates and then Madame rose told them.
It also shows that they're working together.
I'm pretty sure it was meant to be noticed, and probably one of the game cards tells you something about the one drinking from the red cup or drinking from the yellow cup.
i owned this game when i was a kid.
I know one of the questions was the woman who parked on the bridge was poisoned and that was Miss Peach.
03:20 Clayton Endicott and Governor Gatling 😂
How come they never put this game on a DVD???? It would make money for them.
I played this game a long time ago. Had me guessing who the culprit was all along
I was disappointed that everything wasn't resolved in the end
Resolution? You mean John Body's death? Well, let's see who the suspects are. Let's start with the ones that couldn't have done it:
Mrs. Rose - Not a suspect. While "Spectral Evidence" has been inadmissible in courts in the United States since before 1700, she proved that she can, indeed, contact spirits (or so it appears).

Now, the ones who "likely didn't" do it, for various reasons.
Col. Mustard - He inherited the Mustard family fortune after his brother's death and showed no signs of excessive greed. While Body did know (but could not prove) that he murdered Reggie in Sumatra, and knew that Mustard was a spy at the time, Mustard is retired and seems to have no immediate need for money. He just wants to be a spy again. He has no Motive for killing Body, and the Modus Operandi of the killing doesn't fit.
Mrs. White - They were very close, having an affair, had a love child, and so on. Unless Body suddenly decided to fire her (Rose does not indicate any hint of this, and she'd be likely to know) or end their relationship otherwise (no indication - in fact, the opposite, she acts like a grieving widow), she would have no Motive to kill Body, and additionally, seems to be the only one without a criminal past.

Now, the juicy parts - the ones with real Motive!
Prof. Plum - He murdered Body's daughter, and fairly recently.

Mr. Lyman Green - He's a mobster. He may have threatened to expose Green having stole money from the Mob, before that became public knowledge. That, or a business venture between them went horribly wrong and cost Body money - money he felt Green may have morally "owed" him. This is a stretch, however, and Green is the "least of the most" likely suspects. Motive: Same as Plum's.
M. Brunette - The MOST likely suspect. Look at his reaction to the first will. Look at his reaction to the second. Look at the con game he and Peach were running. He KNEW the second will would allow him to seize Body's fortune, with a little con artistry to have Peach impersonate Body's mystery child - a plan they had already agreed on long before the weekend started. Motive: Greed.
This is all based on everything seen being taken at face value and without any off-the-wall, not-seen-on-screen facts (like, the Butler being the murderer for no apparent reason). Draw your own conclusions.

Had no clue this existed.
For those who wanted to know the six original suspects on a first name basis?: Vivian Scarlet(t), Michael Mustard, Elizabeth Peacock, Jonathan (NOT Lyman) Green, Peter Plum, Blanche White.
I thought that was only canon to Clue Jr.
Those were their names for the 1990 British game show, which premiered way after this and the sequel
Miss Scarlett is a cutie 🥰🥰🥰
