Clue (1/9) Movie CLIP - Over His Dead Body (1985) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Mr. Boddy (Lee Ving) encourages the guests to murder Wadsworth (Tim Curry), only to end up a victim himself.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
In this spoof of McCarthy-era paranoia and 1950s wholesomeness, the characters and plot are drawn from the popular Parker Brothers board game of the same name. On a dark and stormy night in 1954, six individuals with ties to Washington are assembled for a dinner party at the swanky mansion of one Mr. Boddy (Lee Ving). Boddy's butler, Wadsworth (Tim Curry), assigns each guest a colorful name: Mr. Green (Michael McKean), Col. Mustard (Martin Mull), Mrs. Peacock (Eileen Brennan), Professor Plum (Christopher Lloyd), Miss Scarlet (Lesley Ann Warren), and Mrs. White (Madeline Kahn). Two additional servants, the Cook (Kellye Nakahara) and Yvette, the maid (Colleen Camp), assist Wadsworth as he informs the guests that they have been gathered to meet the man who has been blackmailing them: Mr. Boddy. When Boddy turns up dead, however, the guests must try to figure out who killed him so they can protect their own reputations and keep the body count from growing. Three separate endings were filmed for Clue and shown in different theaters; all three are collected for the video edition. Although the film is set in the 1950s, the original Clue game was actually devised by Anthony Pratt, a clerk in Leeds, England, to pass the time during World War II air-raid drills. First released in 1946 under the name Cluedo by British manufacturer Waddington's, Clue was renamed and released in the U.S. in 1949. Today, Clue/Cluedo is marketed in 70 countries around the world and has been adapted into a British game show and an off-Broadway musical.

This movie is like a fine wine, it gets better with age.

I've been wanting to say this.

[sameershakya]

Colonel Mustard: You cannot make an omlette without breaking eggs. Every cook will tell you that.
Mrs. Peacock: But look what happened to the cook!!

[averagerobloxenjoyer]

"Maybe he was poisoned!"

Oh gosh.. XD

[kristylaffoon]

“Maybe he was poisoned!”

“AGGGHHHH”

*slaps her*

“Well I had to stop her from screaming”

Oh my lord xD

[Perrygallo]

1:36 that little shoving thing sums up why I love this movie.  So insignificant but so funny and realistic because in the midst of a moment of sheer terror, they still maintain politeness and decorum

[nna]

I laugh every time at the way Mrs White just flings her hat across the room at 1:46 because it’s just one of the many great little background things you don’t notice when you first watch the movie

[TheTwilightShadow]

The only thing I didn't like about this film was that the characters weren't their respective colors. (such as Scarlet and Peacock)

[samkrac]

I love this movie to death!!!
Spoiler alert: 3 endings. And all of them melted my brain.

[EpicMickey]

MAYBE HE WAS POISONED!! (Slap) Well I had to stop her screaming.

[stevielambert]

"I had to stop her from screaming" - one of the best lines in the film along with "flames" & "telegram" & "no meaning yes"

[Perrygallo]

It's silly little things like 1:36 that make me love this movie.

[snapclub]

I still question about this today: Did Mr. Body actually think that any of the 6 would NOT attempt to use one of those lethal weapons on him instead of Wadsworth?

[jbro]

"Oh God I need a drink!"
LOL always loved that line. To this day I say it when I'm facing a dilemma.

[newfoundwisdom]

I just went to go and see a performance of Clue at my high school yesterday, and they more than lived up to the standard of comedy that this movie set

[MatsuoTanuki]

How did I not know Christopher Lloyd wad in this?!

[dillondebruv]

I find it heartbreaking that Mrs. Peacock from Clue (Eileen Brennan) is dead. “Oh God. I need a drink!” RIP Eileen

[jonvia]

I remember my babysitter bringing this over to watch when I was a kid. Still makes me laugh my head off!

[Weebs]

1:56-2:10 Maybe he was poisoned! I had to stop her from screaming.

[gorrow]

One of the all time best comedies and all time underappreciated movies.

[Silverdiamond]

“Maybe he was poisoned!”
*_“AHHHHGGGHG!!!”_*
