When the movie Clue came out in the winter of 1985, a viewer couldn’t spoil the film for 2/3rds of the audience. Why? Because the movie went out with three separate endings. You had no way of knowing which version of the film you were seeing until the very end. This random nature was the perfect ending for the classic board game adapted to a live action film. Viewers didn’t know the other two endings until the VHS cassette showed up at Videorama with all three endings attached. Now you have a chance to recreate the experience of the random ending with Clue: The Collector’s Edition arrives on 4K UHD/Blu-ray. You can once more ponder as the disc will randomly select an ending for you. The film has proven to be a cult classic over the decades thanks to an all-star cast including Eileen Brennan, Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Martin Mull, Lesley Ann Warren, Colleen Camp, Lee Ving and Jane Wiedlin. Who is the real killer? You’ll have to see what the 4K UHD selects for you when it comes out in December. Here’s the press release from Shout! Studios:
