I WOULD LIKE TO ISSUE A PUBLIC APOLOGY TO CHRISTOPHER *LLOYD* AND HIS LEGION OF EXTREMELY DEVOTED FANS. I swear to heaven ya'll, I am well aware who Christopher Nolan is and also that he is not Christopher Lloyd. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
so glad I waited a day to watch. should have guessed the comments would light you up without my help🤣it’s extra funny because you are always so good with names
agreed. I actually think there's something almost rhythmic about the comedy in this film. And I know a lot was improvised. They really just got some of the best comedic actors they could and let them do what they do best and they all killed it.
Not you calling Christopher Lloyd, Christopher Nolan the whole time! Also Madeline Kahn improvised that flames on the side of my face line! Loved this reaction btw!
I totally forgot that piece of trivia about the “Flames” speech! Thank you for reminding me. Madeline Khan was one of the people we should show alien invaders when we have to prove that the human race is worth survival.
I used to play a drinking game with this in college. It goes like this, everyone picks a character to play as and you take a drink every time: - Your character is alone on the screen - Every time people say something in unison - Every time someone dies - Every time lightning crashes - Every time Yvette's boobs jiggle (which is admittedly a lot, so use this one with caution)
Clue is so much fun and it is such a wonder that they could capture it so well in cinema you know. The multiple endings were disliked at the time for being such a gimmick but they were actually kind of brilliant to me.
@@spacedinosaur8733 Yeah, the gimmick was depending on where you saw it at you'd see it with a different ending. Works fine when they're all a part of the movie but I feel like I could understand being annoyed with the gimmick as it worked originally.
The wordplay in this movie is magnificent. Every single person in the house is delivering 100% Edit: next stop on the Madeline Kahn train could be Young Frankenstein if you haven't seen it!
My sister and I saw a stand up comedy show of hers on TV where she sang a song about an ex boyfriend...it was so funny we were crying we were laughing so hard
30 people are going to tell you this, but in when this was in theaters audiences got the A, B, or C ending depending on where they saw it. Also the “flames on the side of my face” bit was an ad lib. Here for your Madeline Kahn love. Great reaction as always. Thanks.
All of the cast who died....died of some form of cancer except Bill Henderson who played the cop...his death is listed as undisclosed so I am not sure if he died of an illness or natural causes he was 90
I first saw this movie when I was a kid in the 80's. They would play it on cable all the time. It's the type of movie I can watch over and over again!!!
Yes, our top priority when there's an active murder on the loose; is whether or not the estate sale moves forward. And who's gonna get the money? None of them even live there. No Body!
A quick little thing: Mrs. White's whole "flames on the side of my face" bit was completely ad-libbed and the confused reactions of everyone around her were real! And another detail: when this was released to theaters, each theater got a different ending. It was only on the home releases that the endings were shown in the order you received them here. However! If you had the DVD version (possibly Blu-Ray as well), you could set it to play one of the endings at random, so select from one of the three each time you watched it. Such a fantastic movie that was vastly underrated at the time because it was based on a board game. It's become greatly more appreciated in later years and you'll find references / homages to it in all sorts of things.
*Major* kudos to the rest of the cast, especially Martin Mull, for keeping it together like the true comedic geniuses they are during that ad lib (she couldn't remember the actual line) so that the editor could actually use that take!! They all knew it was gold.
The whole "Flames" thing remains in my top ten movie moments of all time. Just absolute gold. The fact that Madeline Kahn wasn't more prolific is one of the true tragedies of American Cinema.
@@AlandaParker Hi Alanda, new subscriber... Loved this one and the Galaxy Quest viewing. I'd like to suggest a couple for you. First, Conspiracy Theory with Julia Roberts and Mel Gibson, and second (only because i assume you already got it recommended) The Cheap Detective with Peter Falk, Madeline Kahn and an all-star cast including Eileen Brennan, Ann-Margret and a young Stockard Channing. Bonus rec: if you want to see the one that Clue was based on, check out Murder by Death which also has Peter Falk. Take care and thanks for brightening people's lives.
Secret passages is a feature in the game. The Italian restaurant is the Conservatory (my favorite room lol). I love this movie; a there's like 3 jokes in every minute!
The one fact no one comments: thr "evangelical" was played by Howard Hessman better known as DJ Johnny Fever from the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati. And this has been your Gen X pop culture fact of the day.
Also played the teacher on Head of the Class before Billy Connolly took over...fun fact Tim Curry and Billy Connolly were both in Muppets Treasure Island
Great cast in this one, but I've always felt Tim Curry's high energy and Madeline Kahn's glorious line deliveries (especially the improvised flames on the side of my face) are the real standouts.
It was a board game and all of the names of the people in the film are the names in the board game and they also establish all the weapons in the game as well it is very clever how they adapted it for a movie
And the house is set up in the same way as the board game; the rooms and secret passages are all in the same configuration as on the board. (Except for the upstairs, attic, and basement, which are not on the board- but nothing actually happens in those rooms anyway.)
Loved your responses. You really got the humor. Saw Clue in the theater (Miss Scarlet ending) as a teen and never saw the other endings until maybe 10 years ago. Everyone’s timing is great an this.
"Flame, flames, flames......on the side of my face.....heaving...." My god i love this flick, never fails to make me laugh and ive seen it maybe ten times!
Just…just one of my all time favorite movies. There is nothing but talent here, spectacular comedic actors with experience on both stage and screen, which was perfect because it was written by someone who liked to write for the stage. I’m so glad you did this movie because you’re my favorite film reactor and this is easily in my top 10 comedies of all time. PS. My wife is a MASSIVE Madeline Khan fan and prides herself on her imitation of the “flames on the side of my face” speech from this movie. It never ever fails to make me laugh. PPS. If you’re serious about being on the Madeline Khan train, HISTORY OF THE WORLD!!! Madeline Khan reunites with Mel Brooks in a spoof of world history and she is SPECTACULAR. As much as I love Blazing Saddles and Clue, History of the World is PEAK Madeline Khan. Please, please, please watch History of the World. I promise you will not be disappointed. Please, please, please.
Back to the Future has consistently been one of my absolute favorite movies since I first saw it when I was 6 years old. It's as flawless as a movie can be, and the sequels are really good as well. Definitely one of the strongest trilogies of all time.
Yes! Honey, this movie just gets better and better each time you watch it. So many things you catch on re-watch! In fact, you pointed out something I never realized and my entire family has been re-watching and quoting this movie since 1985. Fantastic reaction!
I was never really able to understand if any of the endings made sense, but when Tim Curry starts running around explaining everything, it doesn't even matter. It's all gold.
There was a rope in the game I had as a child in the 70s. It was formed into a noose. There was also a gun, knife, candlestick and pipe (or wrench, can't recall). Edited to add the board game had secret passageways too.
Alanda (10:22 - confused shocked): "And that's why he's being blackmailed?!" Alanda (annoyed realization): "Oh, it's '54." Me: Respect for Alanda and Millennial/Zoomera increases ten-fold!
Fun fact! When Clue aired in theatres, audiences only got one of the three endings presented in the home video version, depending on what theatres they went to. The ending with Miss Scarlet as the murderer is ending A, Mrs. Peacock is ending B, and Wadsworth/Mr. Boddy is ending C; newspapers would print which theatres/showings would have which ending.
ALSO!!! If you ever need a short break from the Madeline Khan train, I suggest the Tim Curry express, and a little fantasy film called Legend. It’s a fantasy/fairy tale movie that I believe is Tom Cruise’s feature film debut, and Tim Curry plays a giant horned demon who’s the antagonist. It also stars Mia Sara, from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, as the female lead. It’s a spectacular fantasy film in the vein of Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, and other practical effect 80’s spectaculars. I would also pay good money to see you react to that film. So to recap: 1. History of the World 2. Young Frankenstein 3. Legend It’s my Christmas wish list.
Ahhhh you have NO idea how happy I am you reacted to this! I absolutely adore this movie and I've seen some very good reactions to this film, but honestly you are my FAVORITE reactor, you pay attention but give lots of feedback and comments, have a great sense of humor, and have a very uplifting energy about you! So seeing that you reacted to this just made my day
Perfect choice to follow up _The Mist_ , Alanda. Tim Curry had so much dialogue to deliver and essentially propel this entire movie that cast and crew left him alone between set-ups, kind of like no one talks to a major league pitcher in the dugout while he's throwing a no-hitter. He was in the zone. I believe Curry was also left alone on the set of ABC's _It_ for different reasons.
The idea behind the three endings was that the film would be distributed to different theatres with one of the three so that when people talked about it later, they would be confused as to what actually happened. An interesting idea, but alas, didn't quite work out in practice. Still the best game-based film imho. Also, Madeline Kahn's 'flame' part was ad-libbed on her part.
Actually there's one more reason for the multiple endings. It's to prove how flimsy the mystery genre is when it comes to solving the murder. Because Murder mysteries don't give you all the information needed to solve it before the detective does what happens is the most convenient person is usually chosen to be the murderer in most cases. However CLue parodies this to prove that anyone could have done it. Evette Ending links Scarlet, Col Mustard and Mrs White into being the killers, the Cellar ending proves either Professor Plum or Mrs Peacock could have done it alone and the final Multiple Murderers ending proves anyone could have been the killer. So this movie literally gave us every ending we could have wanted and then some.
Also the foxy maid is Colleen Camp who is still acting and producing films today. She recently produced the Keanu Reeves film Knock Knock and the Emelia Clarke film Above Suspicion.
Since you love Madeline Kahn, you must watch her in "What's Up Doc?" with Barbra Stresiand and Ryan O'Neal. It's an old fashioned slapstick comedy and the entire cast is hilarious. And full of quotable lines the way Clue is
This movie is perfect in every respect, the cast is outstanding, the jokes per minute and wordplay is insane, but it's also great to see a movie with such standout female characters in an ensemble comedy- which is funnier because you don't actually know their real names. Just really great to see. Personally, I think Eileen Brennan, Madeline Kahn, Lesley Ann Warren, and Colleen Camp almosy steal the show. RIP Eileen, Madeline and Kellye Nakahara (who played Mrs. Ho)
Legitimately, this is the perfect example of smart comedy. The timing & acting is PERFECT in this film for me. It's one of my FAVORITE films of all time.
Alanda to Yvette "You need to stick with Madeline"... girl, wait for it. The best part of the "flames on the side of my face" moment was that Madeline was adlibbing.
If y'all happen to come across any of the Clue children's books, I highly recommend checking them out. Each chapter is a short mystery with the solution printed upside down on the last page. I adored reading them as a kid before I ever came across the movie. The books have got a similar half-goofy, half-witty humor to them in addition to great brain-bending puzzles.
So about that last line in the movie, remember what Mr. Green's secret was. He was gay. By that line, he's telling everyone that he was planted to catch Mr. Boddy. This movie is amazing in so many ways. The acting and comedic timing is immaculate. Tim Curry was so good as the hero and the villain along with this amazing cast. There's so many layers going into the dialogue and despite the fact that it was filmed in 1985, the humor has held up so well. The jokes just flow constantly. They don't stop and explain their jokes. They just expect you to get it and move on, but there's also time for the viewer to rest and breathe. It's honestly an amazing movie
*screamed* when you said dr Frank N Furter. I got so obsessed with Rocky horror after my first watch, that I returned to the one other movie I knew Tim Curry from, Clue. He steals the show in both, absolute legend
I didn’t watch this movie until last Christmas because I had recently taken very well to the board game and my mother informed me of the movie. It quickly became a favourite and was all you could hear in the house all through the last part of December and throughout January. It’s a go to as well for long drives and flights :D
I first got to watch Clue a little over 30 years ago. I have seen it at least a few dozen times, and still absolutely love it. But thanks for reminding me of the absolute joy of watching it for the very first time.
The "flames, flames, FLAMES" scene was improvised by Kahn even though the director refused to let the actors improvise. No one was expecting it and, in the end, they kept it in the movie.
Clue is one of my all time favorites. Most people in my generation discovered it on cable movie channels. So good and sadly so under appreciated when it first released. Great reaction as always.
Madeline Kahn is incredible - she also had an amazing soprano voice and was a trained opera singer. I’d love to recommend What’s Up Doc? (her film debut and a wacky screwball comedy) and also Noises Off! which is an incredible ensemble comedy based on the hit Broadway play.
I have literally seen this movie over 500 times. My mom used to play it on vcr to fall asleep, so me and my sisters would sneak out and watch it every night. Now every Halloween I do a Tim Curry double feature- Clue and Rocky Horror
The noose was in the version I played as a kid....although it was just called "the rope" so there's that. I adore this movie. I'm torn between Wadsworth, Green, Scarlet, and White on my favorite. They're all hilarious in their own ways but they're definitely the ones that make me laugh the most.
This is legit one of my favorite movies of all time. It was hilarious in the 80s and it’s just as hilarious now. One of the best casts and cleverest scripts ever. Knives out wishes it was half as good as this one.
Nobody ever talks about the Disney live action Three Musketeers, but I think it's one of Tim Curry's funnest roles. He plays a very slimy Cardinal Richelieu, and sweeps around the screen in a long red satin dress and cape. It also stars Keifer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, Rebecca De Mornay, and Oliver Platt, and it's just a good time that deserves more recognition.
YES!! You're watching Clue! This is so good, with an insanely talented group of actors. I didn't read any of the comments, so I apologize if someone has already said this, but when this movie came out, only one of the three endings was shown, and you had no idea which ending you were going to see. In fact, initially, people didn't even know there was more than one ending. Glad you're watching this delightfully fun classic!
As a young gay kid, I used to watch the hell out of Clue in the very early 90s. My poor parents when I would run to grab it every time we visited the Video Station. Ha! Mrs White was my hero! Flames on the side of my face! So glad you loved this movie!!
I’m just seeing this and I’m cracking up at your reactions. I’ve seen this movie sooo many times since I was a kid, and have watched it many times with people watching for the first time. There are so many quirky and quick witted jokes in this and you caught all of them. This has been my favorite watch of them all!
Great reaction. You laughed at all the best stuff, and didn't miss the real point of it, the funny. Some reactors get so caught up in the mystery, they lose track of the performances, which is what makes it so rewatchable. Got to see it on the big screen again a few months back as a Fathom Event. What a blast.
If you're really into Madeline Kahn, I'd recommend the movie "What's Up, Doc?" It was her first major role and she steals every scene she's in! I feel like most people skip that gem of a movie in favor of something like Young Frankenstein. Which isn't bad at all, it's just nice to see an underrated movie get some love, too.
Great reaction! I don't think I ever saw a reaction to Clue where reactor caught so many jokes! And some were subtle! "Flames...." remain one of the best "crazy moments" on tv.
Just found you in my suggested...love your personality and the reaction! Clue is one of my favorites; glad you liked it. Madeline's "flames on the side of my face" bit is so good! Subbed and can't wait for more!
Fun fact: this film has the distinction of being the only one released to theatres as prints with two separate and different endings. People were arguing as to what the actual ending was because they were both right. It turned into a PR nightmare and was never repeated on a wide release.
One of the reasons this film, for being an adaptation of a board game, is so darn good... it was co-written by John Landis of "Animal House," "The Blues Brothers," "An American Werewolf in London," "Trading Places," "Three Amigos!," and "Coming to America" fame.
The sheer joy and fun you had watching this for the first time was amazing. First time I saw this film was when I was like 9 and you are correct, it’s a feel good film to watch on a day when you need it most.
I probably mentioned this before, but you look great with this hairstyle. So gorgeous. More on topic, I've been a fan of Tim Curry ever since I was a kid. He's played in a surprising variety of movies too. Think the last film I saw him in was The Hunt For Red October, which is one of my all-time favorite films. Another very memorable performance of Curry was in the original I.T. back in the 80s. He absolutely terrified me as Pennywise.
In the board game, the kitchen & study were connected by a secret passage. They were on opposite corners of the board. Same for the conservatory & the lounge. I love the game AND the movie. Tim Curry is gold in this film!
That was one of the best reactions I have seen in a LONG time! Just enough funny commentary without talking over the whole movie. I watched the entire reaction! I love Clue and loved watching you experience it for the first time. 🙂
@@AlandaParker I know! Madeline's "Flames on the side of my face" rant is iconic. She improvised the scene. If you go back and watch, you can see Tim Curry and Martin Mull trying so hard not to laugh. :D

I used to play a drinking game with this in college. It goes like this, everyone picks a character to play as and you take a drink every time:
- Your character is alone on the screen
- Every time people say something in unison
- Every time someone dies
- Every time lightning crashes
- Every time Yvette's boobs jiggle (which is admittedly a lot, so use this one with caution)
Ok I am stealing this game 🤣🤣
😂😂

We had a similar game for Stand by Me. We were all too drunk to finish the movie.

It’s a fantasy/fairy tale movie that I believe is Tom Cruise’s feature film debut, and Tim Curry plays a giant horned demon who’s the antagonist. It also stars Mia Sara, from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, as the female lead. It’s a spectacular fantasy film in the vein of Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, and other practical effect 80’s spectaculars. I would also pay good money to see you react to that film. So to recap:
1. History of the World
2. Young Frankenstein
3. Legend
It’s my Christmas wish list.
I adore Legend. That movie doesn't get nearly enough love.💕
@@Ambichan RIGHT?!?! Such a fun little movie that like 3/4s of the world doesn’t know about!
I'm in
Thank you for appreciating Ms Madeline Kahn, she is the best part of this movie.
Ahhhh you have NO idea how happy I am you reacted to this! I absolutely adore this movie and I've seen some very good reactions to this film, but honestly you are my FAVORITE reactor, you pay attention but give lots of feedback and comments, have a great sense of humor, and have a very uplifting energy about you! So seeing that you reacted to this just made my day
🥰🥰🥰 I’m so happy, love!!! And thank you so much!!
My favorite line from clue is.
Life after death is as real as sex after marriage
This is my favorite movie of all time.
Perfect choice to follow up _The Mist_ , Alanda. Tim Curry had so much dialogue to deliver and essentially propel this entire movie that cast and crew left him alone between set-ups, kind of like no one talks to a major league pitcher in the dugout while he's throwing a no-hitter. He was in the zone. I believe Curry was also left alone on the set of ABC's _It_ for different reasons.
The idea behind the three endings was that the film would be distributed to different theatres with one of the three so that when people talked about it later, they would be confused as to what actually happened. An interesting idea, but alas, didn't quite work out in practice. Still the best game-based film imho.
Also, Madeline Kahn's 'flame' part was ad-libbed on her part.
Actually there's one more reason for the multiple endings. It's to prove how flimsy the mystery genre is when it comes to solving the murder. Because Murder mysteries don't give you all the information needed to solve it before the detective does what happens is the most convenient person is usually chosen to be the murderer in most cases. However CLue parodies this to prove that anyone could have done it. Evette Ending links Scarlet, Col Mustard and Mrs White into being the killers, the Cellar ending proves either Professor Plum or Mrs Peacock could have done it alone and the final Multiple Murderers ending proves anyone could have been the killer. So this movie literally gave us every ending we could have wanted and then some.
@@decusq a very salient point.
@@decusq don't forget the ever popular cliche "the butler did it."

Clue is the definition of Camp. It is genuinely the in the top 10 of funniest movies I've seen
Now Christopher Nolan needs to direct Back To The Future 4!
The only solution to my apparent blasphemy 😂
Also the foxy maid is Colleen Camp who is still acting and producing films today. She recently produced the Keanu Reeves film Knock Knock and the Emelia Clarke film Above Suspicion.
Rewatching this reaction. Makes me so happy
Since you love Madeline Kahn, you must watch her in "What's Up Doc?" with Barbra Stresiand and Ryan O'Neal. It's an old fashioned slapstick comedy and the entire cast is hilarious. And full of quotable lines the way Clue is
Don’t you know the meaning of propriety?!?
I just glad someone remembered that classic. It's truly a joy to watch and impossible to not to fall in love with!💓✌️
This. "What's Up Doc?" is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time.
I also wish I could find The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother.
This movie is perfect in every respect, the cast is outstanding, the jokes per minute and wordplay is insane, but it's also great to see a movie with such standout female characters in an ensemble comedy- which is funnier because you don't actually know their real names. Just really great to see. Personally, I think Eileen Brennan, Madeline Kahn, Lesley Ann Warren, and Colleen Camp almosy steal the show. RIP Eileen, Madeline and Kellye Nakahara (who played Mrs. Ho)
One of the things that makes this movie so good is the timing. I can’t imagine how many takes it took to get it just right.
Legitimately, this is the perfect example of smart comedy. The timing & acting is PERFECT in this film for me.
It's one of my FAVORITE films of all time.
Alanda to Yvette "You need to stick with Madeline"... girl, wait for it.
The best part of the "flames on the side of my face" moment was that Madeline was adlibbing.
If y'all happen to come across any of the Clue children's books, I highly recommend checking them out. Each chapter is a short mystery with the solution printed upside down on the last page. I adored reading them as a kid before I ever came across the movie. The books have got a similar half-goofy, half-witty humor to them in addition to great brain-bending puzzles.
TrekPythonChild001: Hey, thank you for the information. I didn't know there were Clue books for kids
Wow, I will definitely keep an eye out. Thank you for the information. I had no idea!
So about that last line in the movie, remember what Mr. Green's secret was. He was gay. By that line, he's telling everyone that he was planted to catch Mr. Boddy.
This movie is amazing in so many ways. The acting and comedic timing is immaculate. Tim Curry was so good as the hero and the villain along with this amazing cast.
There's so many layers going into the dialogue and despite the fact that it was filmed in 1985, the humor has held up so well. The jokes just flow constantly. They don't stop and explain their jokes. They just expect you to get it and move on, but there's also time for the viewer to rest and breathe. It's honestly an amazing movie
Yes! Watching this classic comedic film with your hilarious commentary is gonna be a hoot
*screamed* when you said dr Frank N Furter. I got so obsessed with Rocky horror after my first watch, that I returned to the one other movie I knew Tim Curry from, Clue. He steals the show in both, absolute legend
I didn’t watch this movie until last Christmas because I had recently taken very well to the board game and my mother informed me of the movie. It quickly became a favourite and was all you could hear in the house all through the last part of December and throughout January. It’s a go to as well for long drives and flights :D
I first got to watch Clue a little over 30 years ago. I have seen it at least a few dozen times, and still absolutely love it.
But thanks for reminding me of the absolute joy of watching it for the very first time.
The "flames, flames, FLAMES" scene was improvised by Kahn even though the director refused to let the actors improvise. No one was expecting it and, in the end, they kept it in the movie.
The fact that she keeps saying Christopher Nolan proves we've got too many Chris/Christophers in Hollywood.
LITERALLY screamed when i got the notification! Yasss one of my fave movies with one of my fave reactors
Me too
-IF- i built that much house, there'd better be several secret passages, a library with doors behind shelves, and a hidden study.
Clue is one of my all time favorites. Most people in my generation discovered it on cable movie channels. So good and sadly so under appreciated when it first released. Great reaction as always.
5:18 oh so THAT'S where that line is from. Learned something today, goal achieved.
I should try and get an early night and turn off TH-cam. Nope, Alanda has uploaded a reaction 😆
There is a thousand jokes in this movie that you wouldn’t get until multiple rewatches. This movie is gold, GOLD I say. Absolutely fabulous.
Madeline Kahn is incredible - she also had an amazing soprano voice and was a trained opera singer. I’d love to recommend What’s Up Doc? (her film debut and a wacky screwball comedy) and also Noises Off! which is an incredible ensemble comedy based on the hit Broadway play.
Funfact about Clue (cluedo in the uk) is that the board game is based off Agatha Christie’s book ‘And then there were none’
This was hands down one of my favorite movies growing up.
I have literally seen this movie over 500 times. My mom used to play it on vcr to fall asleep, so me and my sisters would sneak out and watch it every night. Now every Halloween I do a Tim Curry double feature- Clue and Rocky Horror
The noose was in the version I played as a kid....although it was just called "the rope" so there's that. I adore this movie. I'm torn between Wadsworth, Green, Scarlet, and White on my favorite. They're all hilarious in their own ways but they're definitely the ones that make me laugh the most.
I've seen this about 50 times and watching you view it for the first time gave me life!!! I loved your reaction and how you caught on to all the joke
This is legit one of my favorite movies of all time. It was hilarious in the 80s and it’s just as hilarious now. One of the best casts and cleverest scripts ever. Knives out wishes it was half as good as this one.
Nobody ever talks about the Disney live action Three Musketeers, but I think it's one of Tim Curry's funnest roles. He plays a very slimy Cardinal Richelieu, and sweeps around the screen in a long red satin dress and cape. It also stars Keifer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, Rebecca De Mornay, and Oliver Platt, and it's just a good time that deserves more recognition.
Wow! One of my all time favorites.
Love when I see people experience this masterpiece for the first time.
This movie is pure, 24k Gold! So many top shelf, comedy legends in their primes!
Fun fact. The singing telegram girl was played by the lead guitarist and writer of most of the hits for the Go Go's.
She was also Joan of Arc in Bill and teds excellent adventure
Jane was also Joan of Arc in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.
Oh that is a fun fact 😄
YES!! You're watching Clue! This is so good, with an insanely talented group of actors. I didn't read any of the comments, so I apologize if someone has already said this, but when this movie came out, only one of the three endings was shown, and you had no idea which ending you were going to see. In fact, initially, people didn't even know there was more than one ending. Glad you're watching this delightfully fun classic!
OH YES!!!
This is such a good murder mystery, l love love LOVE Mrs Scarlett
I just realised if Alanda liked this movie she would love Bodies Bodies Bodies, its like a modern age clue in a manner of speaking.
As a young gay kid, I used to watch the hell out of Clue in the very early 90s. My poor parents when I would run to grab it every time we visited the Video Station. Ha! Mrs White was my hero! Flames on the side of my face! So glad you loved this movie!!
I’m just seeing this and I’m cracking up at your reactions. I’ve seen this movie sooo many times since I was a kid, and have watched it many times with people watching for the first time. There are so many quirky and quick witted jokes in this and you caught all of them. This has been my favorite watch of them all!
Keep doing what you're doing and I promise this channel will explode. One of the best reaction channels 👌🏼
Thank you so much 😄💛
26:16 the hardest I ever laughed at someone getting shot. lmao
Great reaction. You laughed at all the best stuff, and didn't miss the real point of it, the funny. Some reactors get so caught up in the mystery, they lose track of the performances, which is what makes it so rewatchable. Got to see it on the big screen again a few months back as a Fathom Event. What a blast.
Clue is one of my top fav movies of all time. I love the humour, and I love the board game, and it's just so entertaining! Glad that you enjoyed it!
If you're really into Madeline Kahn, I'd recommend the movie "What's Up, Doc?" It was her first major role and she steals every scene she's in! I feel like most people skip that gem of a movie in favor of something like Young Frankenstein. Which isn't bad at all, it's just nice to see an underrated movie get some love, too.
This is one of my favorite reactions to rewatch along with the Tremors reaction. 😅
Great reaction! I don't think I ever saw a reaction to Clue where reactor caught so many jokes! And some were subtle!
"Flames...." remain one of the best "crazy moments" on tv.
"..flames... on the side of my face..." it's so good.
Just found you in my suggested...love your personality and the reaction! Clue is one of my favorites; glad you liked it. Madeline's "flames on the side of my face" bit is so good! Subbed and can't wait for more!
"Mister Pagemaster" OMG LOL, that's a blast from the past I was not expecting that XD
This is such an awesome movie, the acting, the costumes, the decor, the incredible word play in the script. So glad you watched it.
This was a pure comedy who did it .
I can imagine myself Running around acting out scenes in my book the way Tim curry did .
Fun fact: this film has the distinction of being the only one released to theatres as prints with two separate and different endings. People were arguing as to what the actual ending was because they were both right. It turned into a PR nightmare and was never repeated on a wide release.
Jansen Art: Really? I remember people liking it and wanting to see the different endings. Wow...
One of the reasons this film, for being an adaptation of a board game, is so darn good... it was co-written by John Landis of "Animal House," "The Blues Brothers," "An American Werewolf in London," "Trading Places," "Three Amigos!," and "Coming to America" fame.
The sheer joy and fun you had watching this for the first time was amazing. First time I saw this film was when I was like 9 and you are correct, it’s a feel good film to watch on a day when you need it most.
"Wow, what a mansion!"
"... Captain Wesker, where's Chris?"
Literally the first thing that came to mind when you said 'what a mansion'
I probably mentioned this before, but you look great with this hairstyle. So gorgeous. More on topic, I've been a fan of Tim Curry ever since I was a kid. He's played in a surprising variety of movies too. Think the last film I saw him in was The Hunt For Red October, which is one of my all-time favorite films. Another very memorable performance of Curry was in the original I.T. back in the 80s. He absolutely terrified me as Pennywise.
he was a Legend in LEGEND
@4:10 I agree with Mrs. Peacock. The cleave in this movie is stellar.
In the board game, the kitchen & study were connected by a secret passage. They were on opposite corners of the board. Same for the conservatory & the lounge. I love the game AND the movie. Tim Curry is gold in this film!
That was one of the best reactions I have seen in a LONG time! Just enough funny commentary without talking over the whole movie. I watched the entire reaction! I love Clue and loved watching you experience it for the first time. 🙂
🥰🥰🥰 thank you so much! This one is an automatic favorite! Impossible not to love Clue
@@AlandaParker I know! Madeline's "Flames on the side of my face" rant is iconic. She improvised the scene. If you go back and watch, you can see Tim Curry and Martin Mull trying so hard not to laugh. :D
