All of you missed who the REAL killer was!

The real killer turned out to be Rocky IV. Which murdered this film at the box office.

Funny. I never have seen Rocky 4. I don't have much interest in the Rocky movies. I borrowed all of them from a friend and only watched the first one. Started watching the second one but didn't find it as interesting.

I only like Rocky IV for the James Brown 'Living in America' sequence, and Dolph Lundgren's "If he dies, he dies". The rest of it is pretty boring.

Clue is great though, but was woefully underappreciated during its first release.

Christopher Lloyd could take solace in knowing that Back to the Future was still in the top ten at box office that week, despite having been out for 24 weeks.

It's strange that BTTF's popularity didn't have a positive knock-on effect on Clue's box-office.

Even Teen Wolf, a far worse film than Clue, got a post-BTTF box-office bounce thanks to the presence of Michael J. Fox.

When I was a kid, I watched Clue on the telly because I wanted to see Christopher Lloyd. I was about halfway through the film, and didn't think I'd seen him because I was expected him to have white hair.
