"It's a matter of life after death. He died and I got a life." Madeline Kahn steals this movie and every film she's in. That and the "flames on the side of my face" speech are some of my favorite lines from any film. Also, Tim Curry is hilarious running from room to room during his reveals, but he's also being true to the board game. In the game, if you want to make an accusation, you have to be in the room where you are saying that it happened. I love that detail.
Despite the talent of the people they were forbidden to ad lib because the people in charge felt that it would mess up the flow of the show. Madeline Kahn ad libbed the flames line and it got left in because everyone liked it so much. The people that got jammed up in the doors and stairs are a throwback to the game because two people can’t enter a room or stairway at the same time.
Her scenes are also the best on rewatch because you pick up all the little things she does with her character in the background, like during the dinner scene with her knife. 😂
Yes! Madeleine Khan was such a funny and wonderful actress! I had such a crush on her when I was a kid in the 70's/80's. She just had a way of speaking that makes you laugh even when she wasn't trying to be funny. She also delivered lines in unique and consequently hilarious ways. She was just a naturally funny lady! Like you said, it didn't matter how large or small her role in a movie, the moment she came on screen she just stole the movie. I remember a short-lived TV sitcom in which she starred. I think it was called "O, Madeleine" or something like that. Just love her. We lost her too soon and she was too young.
It's so nice to see Clue become more popular in recent years than it ever was while in theaters. It really came and went with a whimper at the box office. But, to be fair, we are talking about an era of movies that were consistently good. Cant wait to see how you two enjoy all the witty banter and the national treasure that is Ms Madelyn Kahn. "Flames on the side of my face" might just be the greatest improv ever caught on celluloid.
Good call on the “Flames” bit. I’ve loved that performance since I was a kid, long before I learned it was improvised. I also love her little countermelody during “For she’s a jolly good fellow”, especially that high note near the end of the group singing it.
@@arandomnamegoeshere Indeed, which is unfortunate, cause I appreciate the risk they took. But imagine you go and you get only the "Ms Peacock kills everyone" ending...I mean, its significantly weaker than the other two...you would have come away with a worse movie and you never see the "flames on side of the face"...then you wait for it to come on cable and see the version you WISH you'd seen.
Madelyn Kahn is awesome! Would absolutely love you guys to check out What's Up Doc with her, Barbra Streisand and the late Ryan O'Neal... quite possibly the funniest film ever!!!
Before Clue ( the movie) there was an older, equally star studded hilarious murder mystery called "Murder By Death." It's a whodunnit that like Clue you'll never guess the ending! It's naughty, funny, tense, and fun. Hope you'll check it out too! Eileen Brennan (Mrs. Peacock) also starred in it. It was hilarious with so many jokes and one-liners.
The script for Clue was very tightly written, they didnt want any improv. Well Madeline forgot her lines in the "Flames" scene and compleyely improved the whole thing. The director liked it enough he left it in.
This movie is ICONIC! It's absolutely just the most fun I've ever had watching a movie, ever, and it NEVER loses that fun, no matter how many times I watch it. Also, the entire main cast are brilliant, but Madeline Khan is just on a whole different level here. Her and Tim Curry are my favourites by far, which is actually saying a lot for me because I love them all.
Well, the good thing about having to re-upload this movie is that it kinda fits with this movie's rewatchability. You honestly cannot watch this movie too many times; there's always something funny to catch on multiple viewings. Fun reaction!
When released in theaters, EACH ending was singularly shipped out to different areas to avoid "spoilers." I think was a simple A, B, C, or D ending. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have fun playing Clue for a "Game night." :D
It was just A, B, or C. It was even printed in the showtimes listing which ending was at each theater so you could go to see all 3 endings. Great concept.
And somehow, critics at the time graded the movie DOWN for that. Then again, this was the same generation that thought nothing good came from The Thing, so...
The singing telegram girl was played by Jane Weidlin who was a member of the group The Gogos. I worked with Tim Curry on an episode of the short-lived remake of the tv series Family Affair. He played the butler in that too. Michael McKean (Mr Green) is a major part of This Is Spinal Tap.
I feel like you guys would REALLY love The Thin Man. It's one of the best murder mysteries EVER. It has William Powell and Myrna Loy, and they absolutely CRUSH it. It's based on the novel by Dashel Hammnet, the same man who wrote The Maltese Falcon. They ended up making a film series out of it.
One thing I don't often see pointed out is that in the game, your can't overtake another piece. (Example: if one is in a doorway, you can't go through that door until that piece moves.) They did that in this movie up until Wadsworth starts running around explaining the murders. Any time the characters try to pass each other, they collide. Or when Scarlet and Mustard try to slide past each other. Once you notice, you see it happening all over. Funny/sad passage of time note. The movie came out in '85 but based in '54. If this movie came out now, in '24, it would be based in the '93...
Lesley Ann Warren (Scarlet) played Norma Cassidy in the highly entertaining movie musical comedy Victor/Victoria (I highly recommend), and she was my first crush as a boy when I saw her on TV as the lead in the musical Cinderella. Madeleine Kahn (White) is in several Mel Brooks movies; always funny! Michael McKean (Green) I know from his playing Lenny on Laverne and Shirley (TV).
Copyright really fcking sucks, thanks you guys for always going the extra mile by keeping all your great content up and viewable, keep it up, you guys are some of the best reactors, so entertaining as always.
I hope Samantha has sat Daniel down for a game of Clue since the time of the original upload and this re-upload. Glad it is back, this was a great one!
"Peacock had the knife, but they were never not together" ...he says when during the scene in the billiard room trying to calm Yvette down, *Mrs. Peacock was missing!!!*
@@ericaperez6287 Yes, they listed it that way in the movie times listing in the newspapers. It would say "Clue (A)" or "Clue(B)" etc. Genius idea, you get a good amount of people to see it several times.
I know it's been mentioned already but you should definitely watch "Murder By Death" It predates "Clue" by a few years but is definitely a must watch if you like that type of movie.
When this movie was released in theaters there were 3 different versions - with the 3 endings that you saw. The idea was that you wouldn't know which ending you would get when you went to see it, and they hoped people would go to see it multiple times to see all of the endings. Here in my part of Canada they were advertised in the newspaper as "Ending A", "Ending B", and "Ending C", so once you saw it once you'd know which of A, B and C you'd seen and which one to go see if you wanted to see all three. But I've heard stories of people in the States where it didn't specify in the advertisements which ending was at which theater, so just imagine someone watching the movie one time, then going to another theater to see it again - hoping to get one of the two other endings - and it turns out they get the same ending they've already seen. When Clue was released on video (and later DVD) all 3 endings were included in the movie - as you saw in this movie version.
The wordplay in Clue makes it worth watching over and over. It goes by so fast it's almost required to watch at least twice to catch most of the jokes. Almost everything Scarlet and White say is a double entendre, Wadsworth's insults are so sly, and Mr Green gets some hilarious quips.
The screenplay and delivery harkens back to the Golden Age of Hollywood screwball comedies, with the added dimension of being made in the 80's when you could push the envelope more than you could in the 40's/50's. It's lightening in a bottle. It shouldn't work, but it does.
I've watched many of these reactions and you two were the first to guess Ms. Scarlet. Congratulations!!! BTW, each of the scenarios was used at individual theaters. I saw it at the theater and Ms. Scarlet was the culprit.
I know this a a re-upload so I'm not sure exactly how long ago you guys watched this, but when you mentioned wondering about clue-type movies, if you're still interested in seeing something in that vein I whole-heartedly recommend a movie called "Murder By Death".
in high school, I auditioned to be Miss Scarlet, but everyone said I had to be Yvette because I have a huge chest (LOL) but i got to wear a $500 custom maid outfit just like the one in the movie, which was very cool (i wish i could have kept it!)
Hello guys! Here are some other great movies that some of the actors in this movie starred in that are worth a watch: Tim Curry (Wadsworth), "Legend" (1985), and "IT" (1990) (original Stephen King mini-series). Eileen Brennan (Mrs. Peacock), "Private Benjamin" (1980), and "Jeepers Creepers" (2001). Madeline Kahn (Mrs. White), "Young Frankenstein" (1974), and "Blazing Saddles" (1974). Michael McKean (Mr. Green), "This is Spinal Tap" (1984), and "Small Soldiers" (voice) (1998). Leslie Ann Warren (Miss Scarlet), "Cop" (1988) Colleen Camp (Evett), "Die Hard With A Vengeance" (1995), "Wicked Stepmother" (1989).
Stranded motorist was the deputy from Jaws! And yes, in theater's it showed all 3 different endings at any given time or day. Only after it went to VHS, did it go to this version. Mrs. white is the singer/performer from Blazzing Saddles.
Honestly…bc of my love of Clue the game & my sister & I watched this movie all the time, it’s in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. Princess Bride’s in there too. But Clue is brilliant. I’m so excited y’all watched this!!!😘
Fun Fact: All 6 people killed in every scenario, were each killed with a different weapon from the game *The Cook was stabbed with the knife *Mr. Boddy was struck in the head with the candlestick *The Driver was struck in the head with the wrench *Yvette was strangled with the rope *The Policeman was struck in the head with the lead pipe *The Singing Telegram Girl was shot with the revolver
Miss Scarlet was played by Lesley Ann Warren. She was in Victor/Victoria with Julie Andrews and James Garner. She was also in Cinderella many years ago, along with Happiest Millionaire.
Fun Fact: The Girl who gets shot doing the singing telegram is Jane Wiedlin from the Go-Gos (the cute brunette). She also played Joan Of Arc in Bill & Teds
Colonel Mustard is Martin Mull in Roseanne, and "mr ponytail man" in Jingle All the Way. I'm sure he's been in other probably bigger things, but that's just from where i know him.
The first role I saw him in was the Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman TV show, but he had a separate career before that as a (very wry and amusing) singer-songwriter.
Thank you for reacting to this movie. Clue is now and will always be a classic comedy film that never gets old. Tim Curry especially was at the top of his game.
I loved this movie when I was young, saw it several times in theaters (with the last ending, they sent out different versions). And when it came out on VHS tape, I wore this movie, and Labyrinth out. And I have watched probably hundreds of times, and it never stops being fantastic and funny! I had SUCH a huge crush on Tim Curry! One time I was watching with this some friends who were part of the local Rocky Horror Picture Show "cast" (the people who act it out) and one of them said "Hey! That's Dr. Frank N Furter in Rocky Horror!" Well, I'd been debating about going to RHPS, but that sealed the deal for me, and I went the next week. I'm not exaggerating when I say it changed my life for the better! And I still adore Tim Curry.
Yes they are all named after colours. White is white; green is green; mustard is darker yellow; plum is a reddish purple; peacock is a turquoise; scarlet is red;
When this movie was released in theaters, there were three endings, but each theater only got one of the endings. They only tied up all three on the VHS tapes (and other mediums later).
When this was in theaters, there were three alternate endings. There was hope you would go see the film three times, of course. Clue has six suspects, all with last names referencing colors (Colonel Mustard, Mr. Green, Professor Plum, and Miss Scarlett, Mrs. Peacock, and Mrs White), Six weapons (Revolver, Candlestick, Lead pipe, Rope, Knife, and Wrench), and nine rooms in a house with two secret passages (Hall, Ballroom, Billiard room, Conservatory, Kitchen, Dining room, Lounge, Library, Study). In the game, Mr. Boddy is the victim. In Great Britain, for what reason I don't know, the game is known as "Cluedo."
*I'm having déjà vu.* Anyways, if I didn't mention it before, Clue is referred to as a screwball comedy which goes perfect with crime thriller plots. Some really good screwball comedies are _What's Up, Doc?_ (1972) with Ryan O'Neal and Barbara Streisand, and _Arsenic and Old Lace_ (1944) with Cary Grant. *NO SPOILERS.*
Larry Blamire's 'A Dark and Stormy Night' has a fairly similar vibe. A lot of stuff happens overnight in a house full of people. It's a straight up bonkers comedy with a Laverne & Shirley tie-in to Clue (two different actors who featured prominently on the show).
After all these years I still like the Miss Scarlet ending the most. It makes the most sense of the evidence. But I do love Mrs White’s melt down about Evette in the third ending.
Thank you so much for reacting to this movie. I remember watching this during a camping trip as a teen and found this at the camping office where you can rent movies and I was surprised to see this dvd. Again thx for reacting.
Most fans of the movie agree that the first ending truly makes the most sense as Miss Scarlet given her personality and occupation would make for a logical murderer more easily than the others since her motive was greed, among other things. The other two endings are fun little "what if scenarios" but I personally imagine in my head canon that the true ending is the first one. :-)
So glad you guys were able to upload this! I didn’t get to see it in theaters but was able to watch it later on and love it. Just love all the multiple scenarios at the end.
So this all makes more sense if you have played the game. The game is comprised of the group of characters portrayed, a "Body", the list of weapons, and the rooms this all just took place in. To win the game you have to figure out who was the murderer, what weapon was used and in what room. So you attempt to win the game buy making a guess such as "I think it was Mrs. Peacock in the Study with the lead pipe". So all of this was very familiar when you have played the game. As far as the end, when this movie came out in theaters, each theater was sent a copy of the movie with a different possible ending of the three you saw. So people would see a different outcome depending on where you saw it. My friends and I actually went to three different ones to see all three endings. It was very cool. This was also such an amazing cast of actors that were very popular for the time so it was really cool to see. This is also one of my favorite comic performances of Tim Curry.
When this was released in theaters, it had a different ending for different theaters. So, you had to go to others places to see all three endings. When it came out on DVD, they released all three endings as you've seen. Leslie Ann Warren (Miss Scarlet) has played in a lot of TV shows and movies. She was an original Cinderella many years ago in a live action movie version. She was also great in a movie called Victor/Victoria starring Julie Andrews who plays a woman playing a man playing a woman. It's very good. A lot of twists and turns like Clue. You two should watch it soon.
You need to watch Murder By Death, another murder mystery comedy. Written by Neil Simon, it spoofs the worlds greatest sleuths from literature and the movies. Very funny. It also features famed writer, Truman Capote in a rare acting roll.
I strongly recommend movie versions of at least a few Agatha Christie novels. You both would LOVE them! Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile, Evil Under the Sun at least. Great films. Fun whodunits! Then, after, revisit ‘Clue’ territory with the 1976 comedy “Murder By Death”. Hilarious and fun….but far less for both if you’re not already familiar with what it is playing on.
There is a fourth ending they never filmed where Wadsworth gets away in the car, only to discover that the dogs are in the back seat, and very hungry... it doesn't fit the tone of the film really, but it is in the novelization.
It's nice to see this film get some wider attention. It's history and pedigree is so strange and honestly it shouldn't work but this cast and above all Tim Curry, create magic out of a trifle.
This movie has some iconic one-liners. One of my favorites is said by Miss Scarlet. Mrs. Peacock: "So what does your husband do-" Miss White: "NOTHING!" Mrs. Peacock: "Nothing?" Miss White: "Well, he just...lies around on his back all day." Miss Scarlet (the call girl): "Sounds like hard work to me." 😂😂😂😂
Oh yeah, whenever you see more than 1 person in a tight space or a hallway & they either squeeze through the space or run into each other is because, in the game, you can't move ahead of other players.
I love this movie. Tim Curry is awesome. The actor that plays Mr Green is Lenny from Laverne and Shirley. Other great Tim Curry movies Legend Disney Three Musketeers Rocky Horror Picture Show

Madelyn Kahn is awesome! Would absolutely love you guys to check out What's Up Doc with her, Barbra Streisand and the late Ryan O'Neal... quite possibly the funniest film ever!!!
One of my favorite lines is when the cop says, "There's nothing illegal about any of this. This is America!"
And see Tim Curry's face so confused.
"It's a free country. Don't you know that?"
"I didn't know it was *that* free."

Murder By Death and The Cheap Detective, both featuring Eileen Brennan.
And Sir Alec Guinness

It's one of my all-time favorite movies -- happy to watch it again for the re-upload :)
THANK YOU BOTH.
FOR BEING SO LOVELY & WARM.
IN A TIME WHEN SOME OF US NEED IT THE MOST.
ALL THE BEST IN THIS NEW YEAR FROM CHILLY SOUTH CAROLINA.
Honestly…bc of my love of Clue the game & my sister & I watched this movie all the time, it’s in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. Princess Bride’s in there too. But Clue is brilliant. I’m so excited y’all watched this!!!😘
Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤
Mr. Body was the lead singer of the punk rock band FEAR.
Cool that you reuploaded this, I don’t think I’ve seen this video before. Should be fun
Clue board game was first manufactured in the UK, 1949. Some of us played it as kids decades ago.
The singing Telegram is played Jane Wiedlin who is the Guitar player from the Band The Go-Go's
Clue is amazing.
Fun Fact: All 6 people killed in every scenario, were each killed with a different weapon from the game
*The Cook was stabbed with the knife
*Mr. Boddy was struck in the head with the candlestick
*The Driver was struck in the head with the wrench
*Yvette was strangled with the rope
*The Policeman was struck in the head with the lead pipe
*The Singing Telegram Girl was shot with the revolver
Tim Curry turning on the shower in his face has me in knots every time 😂
Miss Scarlet was played by Lesley Ann Warren. She was in Victor/Victoria with Julie Andrews and James Garner. She was also in Cinderella many years ago, along with Happiest Millionaire.
Fun Fact: The Girl who gets shot doing the singing telegram is Jane Wiedlin from the Go-Gos (the cute brunette). She also played Joan Of Arc in Bill & Teds
YES! Love this movie so much. When it came out in theaters, different theaters had different endings (not all of them, just one).
Colonel Mustard is Martin Mull in Roseanne, and "mr ponytail man" in Jingle All the Way. I'm sure he's been in other probably bigger things, but that's just from where i know him.
The first role I saw him in was the Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman TV show, but he had a separate career before that as a (very wry and amusing) singer-songwriter.
He's in Sabrina the Teenage Witch
One of my favourite films of all time. It's so perfect.
This is my favorite murder mystery movie, some of the funniest lines and twists.
Thank you for reacting to this movie. Clue is now and will always be a classic comedy film that never gets old. Tim Curry especially was at the top of his game.
I loved this movie when I was young, saw it several times in theaters (with the last ending, they sent out different versions). And when it came out on VHS tape, I wore this movie, and Labyrinth out. And I have watched probably hundreds of times, and it never stops being fantastic and funny! I had SUCH a huge crush on Tim Curry! One time I was watching with this some friends who were part of the local Rocky Horror Picture Show "cast" (the people who act it out) and one of them said "Hey! That's Dr. Frank N Furter in Rocky Horror!" Well, I'd been debating about going to RHPS, but that sealed the deal for me, and I went the next week. I'm not exaggerating when I say it changed my life for the better! And I still adore Tim Curry.
I had no clue that a lot of your videos had been taken down. Glad it's back up.
Yes they are all named after colours.
White is white; green is green; mustard is darker yellow; plum is a reddish purple; peacock is a turquoise; scarlet is red;
Oh you two should watch VICTOR VICTORIA! Lesley Ann Warren (Miss Scarlett) is FANTASTIC in it. She’s a great singer and dancer too.
When this movie was released in theaters, there were three endings, but each theater only got one of the endings. They only tied up all three on the VHS tapes (and other mediums later).
Love this movie. When this was released in theaters, the three different endings were shown in different areas of the country.
When this was in theaters, there were three alternate endings. There was hope you would go see the film three times, of course.
Clue has six suspects, all with last names referencing colors (Colonel Mustard, Mr. Green, Professor Plum, and Miss Scarlett, Mrs. Peacock, and Mrs White), Six weapons (Revolver, Candlestick, Lead pipe, Rope, Knife, and Wrench), and nine rooms in a house with two secret passages (Hall, Ballroom, Billiard room, Conservatory, Kitchen, Dining room, Lounge, Library, Study). In the game, Mr. Boddy is the victim.
In Great Britain, for what reason I don't know, the game is known as "Cluedo."
I remember this being at the small 6 screen theater in Houston. They had 4 screens showing the movie with endings A, B, C and D.
I've said it for years that Mr. Body sounded like Robert DeNiro
Mr. Green (Michael McKean) was also in "Laverne and Shirley." He played Lenny.
*I'm having déjà vu.* Anyways, if I didn't mention it before, Clue is referred to as a screwball comedy which goes perfect with crime thriller plots. Some really good screwball comedies are _What's Up, Doc?_ (1972) with Ryan O'Neal and Barbara Streisand, and _Arsenic and Old Lace_ (1944) with Cary Grant. *NO SPOILERS.*
Larry Blamire's 'A Dark and Stormy Night' has a fairly similar vibe. A lot of stuff happens overnight in a house full of people. It's a straight up bonkers comedy with a Laverne & Shirley tie-in to Clue (two different actors who featured prominently on the show).
One of my all-time favorite movies!! I watch it a few times every year. 😊
Tim Curry was brilliant in this movie. By far his most underappreciated performance.
Michael McKean, who plays Mr Green, is also in Good Omens, he's Shadwell
In the movie theaters, you had to see the movie 3 times, to see all the endings.
After all these years I still like the Miss Scarlet ending the most. It makes the most sense of the evidence. But I do love Mrs White’s melt down about Evette in the third ending.
Since you enjoyed this movie, you might want to check out "Murder by Death" (1976).
Thank you so much for reacting to this movie. I remember watching this during a camping trip as a teen and found this at the camping office where you can rent movies and I was surprised to see this dvd. Again thx for reacting.
Most fans of the movie agree that the first ending truly makes the most sense as Miss Scarlet given her personality and occupation would make for a logical murderer more easily than the others since her motive was greed, among other things. The other two endings are fun little "what if scenarios" but I personally imagine in my head canon that the true ending is the first one. :-)
So glad you guys were able to upload this! I didn’t get to see it in theaters but was able to watch it later on and love it. Just love all the multiple scenarios at the end.
14:39 - "She's Alone?"
You're never alone when you have two friends with you.
CZcams's gonna CZcams
So this all makes more sense if you have played the game. The game is comprised of the group of characters portrayed, a "Body", the list of weapons, and the rooms this all just took place in. To win the game you have to figure out who was the murderer, what weapon was used and in what room. So you attempt to win the game buy making a guess such as "I think it was Mrs. Peacock in the Study with the lead pipe". So all of this was very familiar when you have played the game. As far as the end, when this movie came out in theaters, each theater was sent a copy of the movie with a different possible ending of the three you saw. So people would see a different outcome depending on where you saw it. My friends and I actually went to three different ones to see all three endings. It was very cool. This was also such an amazing cast of actors that were very popular for the time so it was really cool to see. This is also one of my favorite comic performances of Tim Curry.
REUPLOAD PARTY! 🎉🥳
Another film that keeps you guessing and is a tribute to detectives is MURDER BY DEATH which has comedic elements.
Definitely one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. I can recite it by heart.
When this was released in theaters, it had a different ending for different theaters. So, you had to go to others places to see all three endings. When it came out on DVD, they released all three endings as you've seen. Leslie Ann Warren (Miss Scarlet) has played in a lot of TV shows and movies. She was an original Cinderella many years ago in a live action movie version. She was also great in a movie called Victor/Victoria starring Julie Andrews who plays a woman playing a man playing a woman. It's very good. A lot of twists and turns like Clue. You two should watch it soon.
You need to watch Murder By Death, another murder mystery comedy. Written by Neil Simon, it spoofs the worlds greatest sleuths from literature and the movies. Very funny. It also features famed writer, Truman Capote in a rare acting roll.
The singing telegram girl was Jane Wiedlin the guitarist from the GoGo's
Mr. Boddy is Ving Lee, lead singer of the punk band Fear.
@@Britcarjunkie interesting. I never heard of the group but have heard the name Ving Lee.
@@joek468 Not to be confused with the actor Ving Rhames. 🙂
Hard to believe this came out the same year as Bank to the Futures! So happy to see one of my top 5 movies on your re-upload list. Love it!
Tim curry is a god. He is amazing in legend, a vastly underrated fantasy movie.
I strongly recommend movie versions of at least a few Agatha Christie novels. You both would LOVE them! Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile, Evil Under the Sun at least. Great films. Fun whodunits!
Then, after, revisit ‘Clue’ territory with the 1976 comedy “Murder By Death”.
Hilarious and fun….but far less for both if you’re not already familiar with what it is playing on.
I recommend Noises Off!
Noises Off is the most Clue like movie and is absolutely fantastic and hilarious with a really great cast. @Samantha I really hope you guys watch it!
i worked with Leslie Ann Warren on another project. She was lovely to everyone on set.
There is a fourth ending they never filmed where Wadsworth gets away in the car, only to discover that the dogs are in the back seat, and very hungry... it doesn't fit the tone of the film really, but it is in the novelization.
When this was in theaters the gimmick was each theater had a different ending. -Only on Video did all three endings come together.
I’ve always liked the joke where they all step in the dog shit. Funny stuff!
It's nice to see this film get some wider attention. It's history and pedigree is so strange and honestly it shouldn't work but this cast and above all Tim Curry, create magic out of a trifle.
Amazing movie, love the multiple ending choices.
This movie has some iconic one-liners. One of my favorites is said by Miss Scarlet.
Mrs. Peacock: "So what does your husband do-"
Miss White: "NOTHING!"
Mrs. Peacock: "Nothing?"
Miss White: "Well, he just...lies around on his back all day."
Miss Scarlet (the call girl): "Sounds like hard work to me." 😂😂😂😂
Apparently when released depending on the theater would change which actual ending viewers were shown
Oh yeah, whenever you see more than 1 person in a tight space or a hallway & they either squeeze through the space or run into each other is because, in the game, you can't move ahead of other players.
I love this movie. Tim Curry is awesome. The actor that plays Mr Green is Lenny from Laverne and Shirley.
Other great Tim Curry movies
Legend
Disney Three Musketeers
Rocky Horror Picture Show
