Haha!!!! Now I'm compelled to pop in the DVD when I get home from work!

Interesting. In Phoenix you had to find out from word of mouth which theater had which ending.

I seem to remember Rocky losing at the end of the first movie...

I remember when the film was released, and the newspaper ads for the theaters that told you if it was showing ending A, B or C. I think this did annoy my Mom, and she ended up not taking me to see it, even though I wanted to see it because I loved the board game.

When it was released on VHS, I watched it at a friend's house (with all 3 endings) and I just remember thinking that it was a disjointed mess, like they were making it up as they went along. It also reminded me of one of my all-time favorite comedies, Murder By Death, except that the writing wasn't nearly as funny. I was disappointed, because Tim Curry's and the rest of the cast's talents were wasted, IMO.

Does anyone here collect or have any Clue items?


I also love everyone take on if you like or dislike this movie.

Newspapers and theaters had listed what ending they were showing.

Some theaters were given all 3 endings, even 2 to show (one per showing) and others were just given one ending to show all the time.

I have a board game from the 1970's (the one with photos rather than illustrations) and I have an "interactive" game from the 1980's that came with a VHS tape. It was a good idea in concept, but it was a clunky process having to FF and REW to the appropriate sections of the tape during the game, so I think it only got played 2 or 3 times. I also recall that the game was very expensive.

A DVD game would be much better. There's probably one out there now- I don't know.

Not to get too far of topic from the movie, but yes there is a DVD Clue game. It was released last year. However it is 'cartoon' style instead of the VHS game that used real actors.

That is good Scene. One of the best.


Mrs. Peacock: "We're doing our best!!"

That line always makes me laugh.

I just showed this movie to a couple of my friends a few nights ago. I'm not sure if they loved it as much as me, but they seemed to enjoy it...

But yes, so quotable... I seem to enjoy the three endings together on the home video version better, but that's just me...

I just found this on ebay.

Here are some screenshots from the SNES version. Seeing that hand makes the game more familiar.

Miss Scarlet: Maybe there is such a thing as life after death.
Mrs. White: Life after death is as improbable as sex after marriage!

I originally thought I didn't like this movie, but I found myself watching it on cable all the time anyways. So I guess I do like it. I think the sense of fun the cast is having is infectious in a way.

I wonder if someone told Sony "Get a clue," and they thought "That's a great idea!"

 

[Desslar]

Wonder if they'll adapt as a comedy again, or a serious mystery, or maybe include a thriller/horror twist.

Can't see how it would work as a TV series.

I'm wondering if toy and game movies are the next thing that everybody will want to pursue. With a Monopoly movie coming and Barbie being such a smash, and super heroes trending downward, it seems likely we'll get a bunch of these. Now, the question will be, will audiences turn out for them and sequels to them the way they turned out for super hero films for a couple of decades?

 

[TravisR]

Can't see how it would work as a TV series.

It could be an anthology with a different mystery each season. Granted, that would just be an 8 or 10 episode mystery that is basically a bloated & overly long movie like most one-season TV shows today.
