Clue

Recommended Posts

This is probably one of my favorite movies, ever. I actually just bought in on DVD a few weeks ago.

 

"Communism was just a red herring."

 

I love the exchange between Wadsworth and Scarlet over how many bullets are left in the gun...

 

 

Wadsworth: There's no more bullets left in that gun.

Miss Scarlet: Oh, come on, you don't think I'm gonna fall for that old trick?

Wadsworth: It's not a trick. There was one shot at Mr. Boddy in the Study; two at the chandelier; two at the Lounge door and one for the singing telegram.

Miss Scarlet: That's not six.

Wadsworth: One plus two plus two plus one.

Miss Scarlet: Uh-uh... there was only one shot at the chandelier... that's one plus two plus ONE plus one.

Wadsworth: Even if you were right, that would be one plus one plus two plus one, not one plus TWO plus one plus one.

Miss Scarlet: Okay, fine. One plus two plus one - SHUT UP. The point is, there's one bullet left in this gun, and guess who's going to get it?

 

Then when the police arrest her... (something along the lines of this...)

 

Miss Scarlet: Don't hate me because I tried to shoot you, Wadsworth...

Wadsworth: Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a damn.

The last 15 minutes before we find out who done it was GREAT. Curry pretty much rambles like an idiot in the study talking about Col. Mustard coming in and then Mrs. White looking pale and tragic.

 

Wadsworth: We all admit we all recieved a letter, and you had a letter, and you had a letter, and you had a letter...

Everyone: Get on with it!

Wadsworth: I'm getting there, I'm getting there!

There was a time when I could recite the last 15 minutes word for word.

Must've been hard knowing what the hell he says in the first 2-3 minutes, but after that, I guess it's clear sailing.

 

 

 

Someone: There's no need to shout!

Wadsworth: I'm not shouting~! Alright, I am. Im shouting! I'm shouting! I'm shou--(Candlestick falls and lands on his head) [Wadsowrth tumbles down like a sack of bricks]

Nah, I never had a hard time understanding him.

 

I've always wondered how that candlestick didn't kill him though. :) :P

There's no real talking, but the scene where they put the cook on the sofa is great. 4 people trying picking her up and have this strained feeling on their faces, and its just great.

 

And Mrs. White kneeing "Mr Boddy" in the balls.

Here's one I stumbled over whie watching it earlier...

 

Col. Mustard: Mr. Boddy was threatening to send those pictures to my dear, old mother. The shock would've killed her!

Mrs. White: That would have been quite an acomplishment since you told us that shes dead already.

i need to learn how to do that... that whole story rules.

It's just a cheap way to condense the entire previous hour or so into 10-15 minutes...and it worked.

 

This is one of few movies that have a "In X amount of time" things, that actually GOES BY IT. Maybe off by a few minutes, but in an hour, the movie doesn't change from night to day. If the police are coming in 45 minutes, they do!

I just remembered this one, thats kinda funny from when we first see Col. Mustard.

 

 

Wadsworth: Yvette, please tend to Col. Mustard and get him anything he requires....within reason that is.

 

And this I hope is right...

 

Mr. Green: I'm gonna open the door. I have nothing to hide, I DIDNT DO IT! The key....

[opens door]

Police Officer: Hi...

[Green closes door on him; re-opens]

Police Officer: I noticed an abandoned car outside the front gates, did the driver happen to come by?

Everyone but Green: No

Mr. Green: Actually, Yes.

Police Officer: There seems to be some kind of dis-agreement.

Everyone but Green: No.

Mr. Green: Yes.

I especially like the multi endings in the film... makes it feel like the real board game

Those were great. "Ok, now here's the REAL ending" in old silent film mode screen.

My old high school drama group adapted the movie script for our spring mainstage. I played Mr. Green. It was probably the biggest success we ever had, and it was freakin' hilarious. Probably the most fun I've ever had on-stage.

 

We did all three endings every night, though it was tempting to bust out a different one for each performance.

[someone accuses Mustard of going to the whore house]

Col. Mustard: I did not. Tell them it's not true.

Miss Scarlet: It's not true.

Col. Mustard: Is that true?

Miss Scarlet: No it's not true.

Mr. Green: aha! So it is true!

Wadsworth: A double negative!

Col. Mustard: You mean you have photographs?!

Wadsworth: That sounded like a confession to me, you just gave yourself away.

Col. Mustard: Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?

Wadsworth: You don't need any help from me sir.

Col. Mustard: Thats right....[looks puzzled]

I haven't watched this film for years and years, i remember it being quite neat and wouldn't mind seeing it again. There's probably a few thousand more worthy candidates for most underrated film of all time though if the sub-heading was serious.
