Movie Info

In Revenge of the Pink Panther, for the final time, the bumbling but impeturbable Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers) maddens his long-suffering boss Dreyfus (Herbert Lom), sharpens his wits and martial skills with his manservant Cato (Burt Kwouk) and foils the bad guys without ever having a clue about what he is doing. In the story, Clouseau allows a gang of drug racketeers to believe that he has been assassinated and dons a series of disguises as he travels all over the world in order to apprehend the culprits. He is assisted by Simone Legree (Dyan Cannon), the former girlfriend of the drug-lord Douvier (Robert Webber). Though it received a very mixed reception from critics, this, the sixth of the Pink Panther series, did very well at the box-office. Sadly, it was actor Peter Sellers' final Pink Panther performance before his death in 1980 (the later film, The Trail of Pink Panther was composed of outtakes from previous Pink Panther films).

What fun it would be to see all those involved - including perhaps the durable Clouseau character - try something from scratch.

Okay, but not the best in the series.

Sellers' off-screen brutishness really registers this time

...both Sellers and the series looked tired. But even second-rate Sellers is better than no Sellers at all.

Some people say that the Pink Panther films just got more ridiculous as they went along. Well, so be it. This movie proves that inflatable parrots are just as funny as dead ones. A classic and sadly the last real Closeau film. Recommended.

One of the weaker Panther films in the series.

More by the numbers slapstick nonsense. There's very little subtlety or originality on display here, I'm afraid. Just silly accents and fart jokes.
