Product Description:
Number six in the continuing "Pink Panther" series opens with the funeral of Inspector Clouseau. Of course we soon learn that the lovable bungler isn't dead at all; he's merely faking it so he can pursue incognito a ring of international drug smugglers through exotic Hong Kong. Employing a repertoire of ludicrous disguises the bungling police inspector is back again and this time Clouseau is looking for his own would-be murderer.System Requirements:Running Time: 103 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG UPC: 027616905956 Manufacturer No: 1006394

The sixth Pink Panther comedy was the last to star Peter Sellers (the following film in the series incorporated previously unseen footage), and it was also the last in the series to show any signs of genuine inspiration. It's a weak entry in the Panther pantheon, involving a rather mundane plot about a "French Connection" drug deal that leads Inspector Clouseau--presumed murdered and now sleuthing incognito--to Hong Kong for a brash, slapstick finale that almost compensates for the routine gags that precede it. Sellers and director Blake Edwards are coasting along smoothly here, and some of the gags pay off in well-earned laughs--particularly with a clever nod to Dr. Strangelove when Clouseau dons a Toulouse-Lautrec costume. Another highlight finds Clouseau disguised as an old sea captain, complete with a leaky inflatable parrot (it looks more like a purple puffin) resting limply on his shoulder. But a later attempt to spoof Mafia kingpins is hardly up to snuff for a talent as original as Sellers, and Dyan Cannon lacks the comedic sensibility to make the most of her role as a druglord's vengeful ex-mistress. Some of the physical gags are amazingly elaborate, and it's still a riot to hear Sellers perfecting (or is that murdering?) his hilarious French accent, but while it's adequately enjoyable this movie makes you long for the glory days of the Pink Panther franchise. --Jeff Shannon

In this exquisitely comic masterpiece, Peter Sellers takes fewer pratfalls but dons elaborate costumes and cruises through what is essentially a live-action cartoon, complete with bowling ball bombs, circles sawed through floors and rubber parrots. He's ably assisted by Herbert Lom, Bert Kwouk and Dyan Cannon who is more than just a pretty face. She takes her own pratfalls and engages in daft dialogue with Clouseau in a classic scene that involves three brandy snifters.

I bought this movie as a gift for my dad who has wanted it and could not find it in stores. Service was fast and the movie was brand new.

I'm going to preface my review by saying that in my opinion Peter Sellers was the greatest comic force to grace the silver screen. When he picked his material correctly. When Sellers reassumed the Clouseau character in 1975 with "The Return of the Pink Panther" he had been wandering in the wilderness somewhat(see "The Blockhouse"). Sellers regained some box office clout but I get the feeling that he may have been slightly bored treading familiar ground. That said, the Clouseau films probably ... Read More

Forget about the fact that this is one of the funniest, laugh out loud movies ever made for a moment. Take a close look at Peter Sellers in this film as the perfected character of Inspector Clouseau shines through. Far from the self-parodying, stale performances that many actors give when reviving roles for sequels, Seller's performance in this and the previous The Pink Panther Strikes Again (his last two Clouseau performances) are perfect and rank in the pantheon of all-time greatest comedic performances. ...
