CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

margoreally This one is hilarious. It is one of the best ones. Peter Sellers is in it. All the criticisms of the first review on the list of reviews are unfounded. This one is good.

Petri Pelkonen Look out, he's back! And that he is none other than Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau.This time everyone thinks he's dead, except that he's not.It is a transvestite who steals Clouseau's car and clothes that dies.Behind his "murder" would be a French mobster called Philippe Douvier.But Charles Dreyfus is happy for a while, thinking that fool Clouseau is finally dead.But that fool goes and captures an international drug ring in Hong Kong.Blake Edwards' The Revenge of Pink Panther (1978) is the sixth movie in the Pink Panther film series.It's the last one with Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau.He died two years later to a heart attack.The film series went on, but we never got to see The Romance of Pink Panther Sellers was working on.Luckily Herbert Lom lived on, and still does, ad was seen as Dreyfus in all the future Pink Panther movies directed by Edwards.Same thing with Burt Kwouk as Cato Fong, who attacked Sellers and kept attacking his successors.Not to forget Graham Stark as Dr. Auguste Balls with his crazy disguises.The female lead is done by Dyan Cannon, who plays Simone.Robert Webber plays Douvier.Paul Stewart is Scallini.Robert Loggia plays the part of Al Marchione.Douglas Wilmer is Police Commissioner.Henry Mancini made the recognizable music.Behind the opening credits animation was DePatie-Freleng Enterprises.This Pink Panther movie is funny, like any of these movies with Peter Sellers.It's not the funniest, but you do feel amused more than once.Like Clouseau as the mafioso.Or Cato walking blind with those thick glasses.The chasing scene moves with the speed of silent pictures.And the awarding scene, with the bird on the head...If only we got to see another Pink Panther movie with Peter Sellers.

TheLittleSongbird I do not think Revenge of the Pink Panther is the best in the series(Shot in the Dark is hilarious), but it was a funny and pleasant diversion. The plot is a bit of a less though, and while I liked the music in general some of it got a little repetitive or interfered too much in some scenes. Also there is the odd bit of slow pacing. However, I actually kind of liked it. Peter Sellers is a sheer delight as Clousseau, and Herbert Lom was good also, his eulogy scene had me in hysterics. And there is some decent scripting, however I did find the sight gags more memorable, especially the scene in Clousseau's apartment about twenty five minutes into the movie, the funniest moment of that particular scene was when he fell through the ceiling when it was cut through. I quite liked the production values as well, they weren't what I call exquisite, but they were pleasant enough. Overall, decent but I do agree it is uneven at times. Worth watching for Sellers, but for those looking for a more structured plot they'd better see Shot in the Dark for example instead. 7/10 Bethany Cox

jubilee77 For all Peter Sellers was noted for his comic abilities, this one was his last outing (if alive) as the bungling detective Inspector Clouseau and must be the funniest (or silliest) through Sellers' brilliance with dialogue after dialogue and chaos after chaos plus some that may cause discomfort particularly through some conspiracy to murder the great French detective. The film plot too is a bit dated and to be fair, this one is more than 30 years old and Sellers having died almost 30 years ago (on July 24th 1980) by the time I have commented on this film and it also features Clouseau's Chinese servant Cato this time stealing almost every moment through the film's length despite the fact that Burt Kwouk's earlier appearances as Cato were usually to a lesser extent. Peter Sellers delivers what he can deliver on film as Inspector Clouseau and in the aftermath of his death, several attempts have been made to revive the French man notably with Steve Martin but almost to little avail and even Geoffrey Rush was excellent in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, a film based on Roger Lewis' highly controversial book. You can do as much comedy as you want but you can't do Peter Sellers.
