Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsOne ending includes a reference to Perry Mason. While the TV series (Perry Mason (1957)) did not start until after the setting of the movie; the radio series, books, and movies featuring Warren William existed and were quite popular.
- Quotes
Colonel Mustard: Just checking.
Mrs. Peacock: Everything all right?
Colonel Mustard: Yep. Two corpses. Everything's fine.
- Crazy creditsThe end credits begin with "Clue" game cards that are flipped over to reveal pictures of the main characters and the names of the actors who played them.
- Alternate versionsThere was a fourth ending shot, but subsequently dropped from the film due to the fact that director Lynn did not like or approve of it. Shots of this ending are included in the movie storybook. It had Wadsworth as the solo killer of the bunch, explaining that he killed everyone out of the need for perfection in the world, that all of life's consistencies were not good enough, and further tells the six 'victims' that he has poisoned the champagne he served and unless they find an antidote in three hours, they'll die. Police show up soon enough and trap Wadsworth, but not for long. He gets away from the chief and leaves, locking all the people in the mansion. But as he steals a police car, he notices a 'smell' (the dog dropping smell from the beginning of the film) and realizes the Doberman from earlier is now in the police car, and it lunges for him. The police car crashes, and Wadsworth is dead. This implies that the others got out okay now that the windows were not guarded by the Doberman any longer.

Featured review
A hysterical spoof of the well known board game Cluedo, known as Clue
in America. One of the best comic castings ever. Tim Curry as the Butler- brilliantly wild eyed, OTT and campy. Any fan
of The Rocky Horror Picture Show will simply adore his performance in
this film. And Michael McKean as Mr.Green- After This Is Spinal Tap, he
gives his best performance in Clue. The cast really does not have any
weak spots who are all supported by a very funny script. John Landis at
his mid eighties best. The only downer is the different endings use similar script which does
get a little tiresome, but apart from that a flawless comedy. Now go
and see it!
