Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

HotToastyRag There's a tinge of sadness associated with Curse of the Pink Panther. Peter Sellers had died before the last two films of the series were made, and while The Trail of the Pink Panther used leftover footage from previous movies, this second to last installment didn't use his image at all. Also, this was David Niven's final film. He was very ill and died before its release.But, if you can get past those upsets, and you like silly, slapstick Pink Panther movies, give this one a try and see if you like it. Yes, it's not the same without Peter Sellers, but Blake Edwards tried to give Ted Wass similar gags to those used in previous films. Still, since the premise revolves around an ongoing search for Inspector Clouseau, the audience is always keenly aware of why Clouseau is really missing. In addition to David Niven, others from the original films appear in this sixth part of the series: Herbert Lom, Capucine, Robert Wagner, and Burt Kwouk. And keep an eye out for a surprise cameo from Roger Moore!

FlashCallahan When legendary Inspector Clouseau goes missing, New York police officer Clifton Sleigh is enlisted to find him. But Sleigh turns out to be the only detective in the world more incompetent than Clouseau himself. Traveling to France, Sleigh bumbles his way into and out of trouble, while encountering a number of characters from Clouseau's past, including the charismatic jewel thief Charles Litton and his womanising nephew, George........After the death of Sellers, Edwards probably wanted to reap the legacy of his death by rushing out turgid sequels to arguably Sellers most memorable cinematic character. And unlike the previous one, where we had recycled footage of Sellers from deleted scenes and used footage from previous movies, we had a special guest star laying the famous Clouseau in an extended cameo toward the the end.And this is the only reason why I, and I fear many others,wanted to see the film, for Roger Moore's wonderfully terrible French accent, and sending himself up like never before.After all, the man was Bond at the time, and took a day off filming Octopussy to do this favour for Edwards.And honestly, it's the only reason to watch this poor excuse of a movie, Moore is hilarious and others around him in the scene know this, because half the time you can see that they just want to laugh. But the scene only lasts for around five minutes, so you have to get through ninety minutes of Wass trying to upstage Sellers, Lom looking embarrassed, Niven being disgracefully dubbed, and TV favourite Leslie Ash totally out of her depth.The story makes no sense, it feels like a lot of dodgy sketches tied together to make an incoherent story, and it all feels like they are all doing it to get a decent holiday.The franchise died when Sellers passed, but some greedy studio head just won't let a soul rest.But Moore is hilarious...

SnoopyStyle It's been a year since Inspector Clouseau disappeared. The Surete is using its supercomputer to select the best detective to solve the case. Chief Insp. Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) does a deal with a criminal to rig the supercomputer and it selects the utterly incompetent NYPD officer Clifton Sleigh (Ted Wass).This attempt to continue the franchise without a reboot is probably the best of many bad ideas. A rebooting of the franchise with a new Clouseau would probably be unacceptable to the audience so quickly after Peter Sellers' death. Ted Wass hopelessly tries to replace the great man but the ghost haunts him throughout the movie. Even Cato attacking him doesn't bring a chuckle. I do like Clifton with Juleta but that's a very small section. Somebody should have insisted to Blake Edwards that this franchise needed to take a break.

ma-cortes This following to popular series is a new attempt to maintain the slapstick franchise in spite of Peter Sellers death by substituting in American actor Ted Wass . He's investigating bungling Clouseau disappearance and is on the trail of the jewel known as the Pink Panther and during his first scenes Ted appears in drag . Clouseau's previous chief (Herbert Lom) threatens to destroy the new detective . At the same time Ted Wass like Clouseau is making life intolerable for Inspector Dreyfuss . He then goes to Clouseau museum where he meets Kato (Burt Kwouk) , to the French Riveira and Valencia (Spain) where encounters mobsters (Robert Loggia) who wish to kill him . Later on , aboard a yacht (along with the habitual David Niven , Capucine , Robert Wagner) he goes to Mallorca . There he attempts to track down the Clouseau trail but he meets a suspect Countess Chandra (Joanna Lumley). This is arguably one of the most average of the series about the botcher Inspector and being the eight ¨Pink Panther¨ movie in the known film franchise . In this slapdash as well as disconcerting comedy , Wass attempts to investigate whether or no Clouseau is living somewhere . This fun release has some hilarious moments here and there . The film continues where Trail of the Pink Panther (1982) leaves off . Though uncredited, late Peter Sellers can still be heard in various scenes through archival sound . Starring Ted Wass as Sleigh is sympathetic imitating to Sellers , outdoing his botcher and diverting character . Actors considered for the role of Clifton Sleigh included John Ritter, John Cleese, Dudley Moore and Rowan Atkinson ; in the end , the part went to Ted Wass . The actors seem to enjoy immensely themselves but they are supposedly spending some amusing holidays in Riveira , Mallorca, Valencia . Players appearing in this movie who had appeared in the original Pink Panther (1963), the first film in the series , were Capucine, David Niven, and Robert Wagner . In the film appears the usual series as Herbert Lom (chief Inspector Dreyfuss), Andre Maranne (Sergeant Francois Duval), Grahame Stark (as a bored waiter) and the ordinary professor (Harvey Korman) . The movie was simultaneously filmed along with ¨Trail to the Pink Panther¨ where equally the protagonist (Joanna Lumley) is looking for Inspector Clouseau . Writer, producer , director Blake Edwards gets some inspired bits penned by himself ; however he attempts to alive his classic personage with no much success . Rating : Mediocre but entertaining .
