Underrated and misunderstood - the last great Peter Sellers Insp. Clouseau shocking funny movie my second favorite
3 August 2019
Revenge of the Pink Panther is Criminally underrated and misunderstood. I don't get the hate for this movie. It is my second favorite Panther movie in the franchise. I love this movie to death, I watch it today and I am not disappointed. This was the last Panther movie before Peter Sellers past away. It was his last role as Insp. Clouseau. I don't understand the hate for this movie, I don't get it. The film is fast paced, funny, has action and Peter Sellers is excellent in his role. They don't make movies like this anymore.

Insp. Clouseau is in Hong Kong, you have a lot of action, explosions and a lot of funny moments from everyone. You have Former Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) is firing on Inspector Jacques Clouseau with a Colt Python revolver during the Hong Kong chase. Which you have guns, fire works. Some fist to cuffs and so on. An assassin try's to kill Clouseau in his apartmant, but Clouseau hits him with a Bo (stick) in the head and kicks him out of the window, mistakingly thinking he was Cato (Burt Kwouk).

I really miss Peter Sellers my rest in peace that is why to me is my favorite in the Panther films. A Shot in the Dark and this one Revenge of the Pink Panther are my favorite films in the franchise I love them to death and does not deserve the hate.

This time Clouseau is a marked man, Philippe Douvier (Robert Webber) underground mobster decides to kill Clouseau (Peter Sellers) to make impression on New York underworld. When hitmans kills a wrong person thinking it was Clouseau, the whole world thinks Insp. Clouseau is dead. When Clouseau hears about this, he escapes from mental institution and goes undercover to investigate who tried to kill him. Meantime Former Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) gets released from mental instituion and goes to Hong Kong to search for Clouseau.

I really love the character arc Love Chief Insp. Jacques Clouseau to death the only one is Peter Sellers no one else. Peter is great as always. Here we have Herbert Lom as Former Chief Inspector Dreyfus in which he is funny and good. I love Dyan Cannon as Simone Legree as Douvier's secretary and his mistress. Dyan was great she was first the bad girl but when she met Clouseau and become the target she become a good girl I love her. I absolutelly love Philippe Douvier love the character to death. Douvier was a bad-ass excellent bad guy. Robert Webber was perfectly bad guy, the man acted like the character was writen on his skin.

I love the music score from Henry Mancini. Blake Edwards directed perfectly the film he co wrote the script which it worked. My favorite sequence are the finale in which Chief Insp. Jacques Clouseau is in Hong Kong with Cato the finale is great. The film was filmed in Hong Kong, France and England.

This is the fifth and final Sellers appearance as Clouseau (or so Peter thought) has the world's ruthless assassins plotting his demise. There's no Pink Panther jewel involved. (Only half of these films are actually propelled by the diamond.) Undercover costumes the detective are hilarious and great. Peter Sellers puts on more disguises than any other film. Best moments: Clouseau returns to his home, which has been turned into a Chinese-themed brothel, and Clouseau defeats the ultra-tough Mr Chong.

I love this film to death, my second favorite film in the Panther franchise I love thsi film to death and no it is not about Diamond, but it is till a bad-ass film, if you don't like it, it is just not for you, this is mine film.
