Actor Tim Curry was so worn out through the climax(es) of the 1985 comedy Clue that he needed to go to the nurse.
There are such a lot of motives, characters, actors, and units, however we lastly figured it out…It was Tim Curry, with exhaustion, on the set of Clue. The actor, who performed butler Wadsworth within the traditional 1985 comedy (nonetheless the perfect board recreation adaptation ever), just lately sat down to debate his work on Clue.
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, as a result of he by no means attracts breath!” he stated of his supply in Clue. “It was exhausting…Really, after we completed that sequence, I needed to go to the corporate nurse. My blood strain was via the roof!” Certainly, it stays a kind of masterclass in delivering revelatory monologues.
Because it seems, Clue truly 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 humorous sufficient. It wasn’t stunning sufficient. It ended the movie on an anti-climax. So I simply took it out. Three was sufficient.” 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 true Mr. Boddy.
