Revenge of the Pink Panther
Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau is dead. At least that is what the world—and Charles Dreyfus—believe when a dead body is discovered in Clouseau's car after being shot off the road. Naturally, Clouseau knows differently and, taking advantage of not being alive, sets out to discover why an attempt was made on his life.

Fresh and Exciting
Admirable film.
Absolutely Fantastic
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
"Revenge Of The Pink Panther" is unlikely to be most people's favorite entry in the Pink Panther series, but it earns its place in the collection. It's far too slack in its pacing, but there are scattered chuckles throughout, though the single funniest moment, paradoxically, does not belong to Peter Sellers but to Herbert Lom; it's the scene at Clouseau's "funeral" where Dreyfus has to read an eulogy speech for Clouseau but cannot stop laughing! In fact, one of the problems of this film is that Lom is underused - usually when he appears on the screen he sees Clouseau popping up out of nowhere and he faints. And talk about "underused": it was a genius piece of casting getting the buxom Valerie Leon as a whip-wielding dominatrix - so why did they make her part so tiny? At least the gorgeous Dyan Cannon's role is bigger, and the final 15 minutes feature some good multiple-vehicle chases & stunts in the streets of Hong Kong. **1/2 out of 4.
Basically what I'm saying up there is that even though this is the worst Peter Sellers Pink Panther movie, it's still great! In this film Philippe Douvier (Robert Webber) is trying to prove that him criminal empire is still strong. So he tries to kill Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Sellers) who has famously survived more assassination attempts then Fidel Castro and Adolf Hitler combined. And (big surprise) it doesn't work. But this time it's different, because Douvier thinks he has succeeded. So it's up to Clouseau and Cato Fong (Burt Kwouk) to stop Douvier and reclaim him own identity. Wow. Overall I think this is the weakest of Sellers's and Blake Edwards Pink Panther films for a few reasons. It just doesn't seem as enjoyable in some parts. But it's still a ton of fun to watch so honestly, go see it. Just because it's not as good as the other films, it doesn't mean it's bad.
once again the Pink Panther strikes.. this time Closeau is believe to be dead bringing our Police Comissioner out of the looney bin thinking that he is perfectly safe now from the bumbling idiot. apparently our master detective got to close for comfort for our criminals and they decided to make an attempt on the poor inspector's life,, of course he isn't dead,, once he get's on the screen, he's back to his usual self trying on disguises and being his usual self. this movie has a lot of laughs and will keep you guessing for awhile.. Dyan Cannon also does well in this picture,, this isn't quite as good as some of the earlier Pink Panther movies. but all in all it's definitely got it's moments of comedic genius.
For me this is the last of the Pink Panther films, and it has always been a lot of fun for me. Yes, it is not as good as The Pink Panther Strikes Again or A Shot in the Dark(both my personal favs), but this is third for me. Clouseau is back. Dreyfuss is back. Kato is back, and Blake Edwards and Henry Mancini as well. While I agree that some of the humor is a bit forced and it does looked rushed, there are some really good things about the film. Sellers is still in top-notch form whether he is dressed as Toulouse Latrec singing "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" or as a salty Swedish sea captain with an inflatable parrot on his shoulder or as a rotund "Godfather" gangster type with padding in his mouth and him fist pumping wildly. He is funny. PERIOD. Herbert Lom is not good. He is great. He makes these films as Chief Inspector Drefuss. The scene where he has to give Clouseau a eulogy is priceless. He was so good in that scene. Oddly enough my favorite scene in the whole film is near the end where Clouseau, dressed in his gangster garb, is running from Drefuss who is shooting frantically at him. Clouseau says something to the effect that it is, he,Clouseau, and Drefuss, stammering, eye rolling, says, "I know." Great stuff. Burt Kwouk is always good as are many of the character actors and though Dyan Cannon and Robert Webber are a little less than believable as French folk, they are decent enough. While the story in this one is a bit jumpy, the whole thing is brought together by Edwards funny direction and attention to comedic detail and, for me most importantly, Mancini's score which is one of his finest in the series. All of his music carries the film where it may have other-wised dragged.
