just watched this the other night, i had it for ages and i been puttin off watchin it, it was fuckin hilarious, if you get a chance you should check it out, anyone here seen it.?

from IMDB
Millionnaire Lionel Twain invites the five most brilliant private eyes to a dinner - and a murder. So, Sidney Wang from China, Dick Charleston from New York, Jessica Marbles from England, Milo Perrier from Belgium and Sam Diamond from San Francisco arrive at the remote castle. They are welcomed by Jamesir Bemsonmam, the blind butler. At nine, a dinner is supposed to be served. The five private eyes and their companionships are in the dining room, wondering what everything is about. Suddenly, Lionel Twain appears and lets the private eyes in on his plan: Exactly at midnight, a murder is going to take place. And he offers a million dollars to the one who can solve the murder. Then he disappears. Before long, a problem arises: The butler is found dead - and it's long before midnight! Will the five most brilliant minds of our time be able to see through the elaborate set-up staged by a criminal mastermind?

Included are a blind butler, a deaf-mute maid, screams, spinning rooms, secret passages, false identities, and more plot turns and twists than are decently allowed

Is this kind of like a parody of Clue?

^No, it's more like a parody of every famous mystery and detective character ever created. You've got a Sam Spade, Poirot, Charlie Chan, etc. all in a room together trying to solve a murder mystery that a mad genius tells them that they never will...and even bets a fortune on it.
It's a riot. Everyone in it is brilliant (seriously, just look at the names on the cast), but it's worth seeing just for Peter Sellers performance as Sidney Wang.

I'm a bigger fan of the sequel, Birth By Suicide.
