Clue (1985)
Plot summary
Directed by: Jonathan Lynn
Starring: Christopher Lloyd, Tim Curry, Michael McKean, Lesley Ann Warren, Madeline Kahn, Eileen Brennan, Martin Mull
The six people from the game "Clue" (Colonel Mustard, Mrs White, Mrs Peacock, Mr Green, Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum) are invited to dinner at a big house, and are met by the butler, Wadsworth.
Wadsworth explains to the guests that they are individually being blackmailed by Mr Boddy, who is also present. Mr Boddy then hands out weapons (the 6 weapons from the game: candlestick, rope, lead pipe, wrench, gun, dagger), and invites the guests to kill Wadsworth to avoid being exposed.
Instead, someone kills Mr Boddy. During the evening, various other people (the cook, the maid, and several vistors) are mysteriously killed one at a time.
It turns out that all the other victims were Mr Boddy's accomplices, and Wadsworth had gathered them all together to give evidence against Mr Boddy's blackmailing. Wadsworth explains how each murder was done. Who did each murder is another question - the movie has three different endings, each with different killers.
More mistakes in Clue
Wadsworth: You see. It's just like the Mounties. We always get our man.
Mr. Green: Mrs. Peacock was a man?!
Trivia: Not a mistake, just a neat little fact. When the film was being shown at cinemas, only one ending was shown. Different venues had different endings.
Question: Are Colonel Mustard's parents dead or not? During the blackmail discussion scene in the study, Mustard says he lost his mummy and daddy in the war. Later, Mustard says Mr. Boddy threatened to send the pictures of him and Yvette in Flagrante Delicto to his parents.
Chosen answer: They're still alive. When he says it earlier, he's trying to explain away his money from black marketeering during the war.
