Talking with Empire, Tim Curry remembered the chaos concerned in taking pictures Clue, notably within the ultimate scenes since his character is tasked with explaining to the company and viewers Who killed Mr. Boddy with What and The place – a number of instances, as Clue had numerous endings. “It was a bit scary, because he never draws breath!” he mentioned of his supply in Clue. “It was exhausting…Actually, when we finished that sequence, I had to go to the company nurse. My blood pressure was through the roof!” Certainly, it stays a kind of masterclass in delivering revelatory monologues.
Because it seems, Clue really had a fourth ending during which Tim Curry’s Wadsworth went on a killing spree inside the home, which director Jonathan Lynn scrapped. “It wasn’t funny enough. It wasn’t surprising enough. It ended the film on an anti-climax. So I just took it out. Three was enough.” Because it stands, Clue formally has three endings, two of which revealed Wadsworth as an FBI agent, whereas one other had a twist revealing him to be the actual Mr. Boddy.
Clue has had an enduring legacy, one thing Tim Curry is happy about. “I’ve met some real Clue fans at conventions, who even came dressed as some of the characters…Which was familiar to me because I’d had that for years with Rocky Horror, of course.” Definitely many have approached him dressed as Pennywise from the It miniseries as effectively.
