WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

SnoopyStyle To demonstrate his powerfulness, crime boss Philippe Douvier (Robert Webber) decides to kill Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Peter Sellers). His men kill a transvestite instead and mistakenly believes that Clouseau is actually dead. The former Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) is brought back to give the eulogy and lure out the killers. Meanwhile Clouseau and his man-servant Cato Fong (Burt Kwouk) aim to track down his would-be assassin.The best thing about this Pink Panther sequel is the return of Peter Sellers, Herbert Lom, and Burt Kwouk. The trio represents the best combination in the Pink Panther franchise. The movie is kind of boring whenever the three isn't on screen. The opening is problematic because of that fact. One of the three should be on screen at least 95% of the time. They are chuckle worthy just by being there. The rest of the cast is forgettable and unimportant.

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.

reisen55 When I saw this film in 1978, I was delighted it ended with a chase. So many American comedies have failed to do so, and when Woody Allen had that wonderful, brief car collision scene at the end of ANNIE HALL, I heard Mack Sennett cheering.The Return of the Pink Panther, 1974, shows some budget limitations - it was originally a TV series but Edwards and Sellers could not manage that with Clouseau. Strikes Again, 1976, was - to me - a bit forced with some wonderful sequences, and some that did not work at all. Revenge - 1978 - is just a warm fun film to enjoy.Of the first two, The Pink Panther is boring in moments but has a very good chase. Clouseau came into his being with Shot in the Dark, probably the BEST of the series.Do not disown this film - it is a warm bottle of French Wine indeed, one to share and savor. And a tribute to what a talent Sellers and Edwards were together.

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.
