Storyline
Clue is a movie about 6 guests, a butler, and a maid, who are all involved in the murders of 6 people. The guests all meet at Hill House, where you learn that Professor Plum works in D.C., where everyone else lives. Colonel Mustard is a client of Miss Scarlet, who is the ex-employer of Yvette, the maid, who had an affair with the husband of Mrs. White, etc. When Mr. Boddy, who is blackmailing each guest, gives the guests each a weapon, he tells them they should kill Wadsworth, the butler, to avoid being exposed. With Mrs. Peacock's craziness, and Mr. Green's clumsiness, the whole group finds themselves tangled in a web of murder, lies, and hilarity. Written by Ali Harton

After Col. Mustard and Miss Scarlet leave the lounge, one of the chandeliers crashes down from the ceiling in the hallway, yet the light level in the hallway never changes. This happens once again in the ending in which Ms. Scarlet is the killer, another chandelier in the hallway crashes down from the ceiling, yet the light levels in the hallway never change. The last chandelier was visibly on when Wadsworth shoots it. See more »Quotes

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!
