Junior S. @RT39899143 Jun 1 A better Panther movie than expected. Ted Wass’ first screen appearance is hilariously in drag, disguised as a street walker in a very funny, classically chaotic scene. For some odd reason Blake Edwards exacts much mileage out of gags involving inflatables: 3x to be precise, all of which are breathtakingly funny. The scene involving Herbert Lom imputing Cleaseau’s perceived character traits into a computer search is roaringly nice. The scenes taking place in Valencia are well shot and stylish, more so than Bondian Thunderball which undoubtedly inspired them. Ultimately it fails to establish a viable continuation of the series sans Sellers, but this may be more than a little to blame for the studio’s sabotage of the movie’s promotion, as noted by Edwards over the years. See more Robson C @RT82519826 May 5 Com a morte de Jacques Clouseau, ainda é preciso solucionar o roubo do diamante Pantera Cor-de-Rosa. Para isso, um computador é programado para escolher, entre todos os policiais do mundo, o substituto de Clouseau. O escolhido é o sargento Clifton Sleigh, de Nova York, tão atrapalhado e confuso quanto o original. Mas será que ele conseguirá resolver o caso? É difícil entender como uma franquia tão divertida conseguiu resultar em algo tão sem graça. As trapalhadas de Sleigh não chegam perto do humor de Clouseau, o que só reforça o talento de Peter Sellers para a comédia. O filme anterior, uma coletânea caça-níquel, ainda arrancava risos. Aqui, o novo personagem simplesmente não funciona. Sellers fazia graça porque nunca admitia seus erros, embora todos os vissem. Se o computador buscava o oposto de Clouseau, Ted Wass parece ter sido escolhido por ser o oposto de Sellers. A única coisa realmente interessante no filme é a participação de Roger Moore — e quem assistir entenderá o motivo.

Unusually, there is also an extended car chase that's both engaging and amusing. Lead Ted Wass never steals the limelight, and it's okay: his presence allows the film to exist, and he's serviceable in the part. However, the movie is overlong and gradually loses steam; by the end, the story has fallen apart completely. See more alan g @agenser 02/28/2024 Why was this movie made? Cash grab? Favor to an actor? Horrible acting. Stupid plot. Avoid. See more Alec B @Alec97 01/10/2024 I have absolutely no idea why Edwards was so intent on continuing this franchise (especially with Ted Wass who just seems lost here) rather than letting it be. Also since so much of the movie is obsessed with Clouseau's, and ultimately Sellers', legacy it just makes the attempt to center the series around a new character feel like an afterthought. An all around awful movie. See more 08/28/2021 I admit I checked out this movie with low expectations, more out of completism than anything else. Actually, it wasn't as bad as expected, but though the slapstick scenes are good, the rest of the movie is blah. Inspector Clouseau is a man who acts dignified despite all his bumbling and pratfalls; Clifton Sleigh has the pratfalls but nothing else. I got the idea that what happened in the end was that Clouseau ended up going bad and ended up stealing the Pink Panther diamond for himself (though it would be stolen in turn by The Phantom-David Niven reprising his role as best as his ill health would allow). I suppose Clouseau's career as a policeman would have to end somehow for the intended replacement to take over, but I was hoping for better than this. See more Read all reviews
