Summary: Revenge of good comedy!
Review: This is the second funniest Pink Panther movie of them all in my opinion, with Pink Panther Strikes Again being the funniest and A Shot in the Dark being closely behind this one. Peter Sellers is hilarious in this, a real comedy genius. I like the part where he dresses up like the Godfather in his pin striped suit.He sticks cottonballs in his mouth to play the part better and someone slaps him on the back and the cottonball flies out of his mouth.Also the part where someone hands him a bomb and the building he's in explodes is another hilarious part of this great movie.This is worth owning with the exception of the Pink Panther and the other movies without Peter Sellers in it.This would have to be one of the funniest movies ever made. I highly recommend it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Funny film, with a few faults
Review: This movie in the Pink Panther series involves the Mafia, and Clouseau, is once again played by the talented Peter Sellers. This film is sadly, the last Pink Panther film he is actually alive in.

This film hardly has a plot, the only plot is that Dovier, a French buisnessman, wants Clouseau out of the way, just to impress the godfather. They actually think that Clouseau has been killed after a robber(mentioned earlier in the movie)sticks poor Clouseau up and steals his car and clothes. But the robber pays for it by being the the victim of the mafia instead of Clouseau! Oddly enough, Clouseau wants revenge for his murder attempt, and goes for it. This film sounds pretty good doesn't it? Well it's not what you'd call a good film, but a mixed bag. A good amount of the jokes just didn't make me laugh as much as they did in "The Pink Panther Strikes Again". The film lightens up during the chase scenes with Clouseau, Dreyfus, the police, and the mafia! The funniest thing about it is, Dreyfus started it! His main target: Inspector Clouseau! Overall, this film is on the halfway mark between the best Pink Panther film, and the worst.

Rating: 2 stars

Summary: Montezuma got his revenge. Now it's the Pink Panther's turn!
Review: While I enjoyed this movie, I felt it just wasn't as strong as the previous ones. Maybe the series was running out of gas, as I felt it just didn't have the same level of hilarity as the previous movies, but a half funny Pink Panther movie is still funnier than most. Anyway, this one involves the inspector going up against the French connection. In a effort to show that they still have muscle, the syndicate decides to assasinate Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau. To do this, they hire a sort of martial artist super assasin. I would have liked to seen more done with this part of the story, as they seemed to set it up really well, but the follow through just didn't seem that strong. Well, the assasin is unable to complete his mission, and the French syndicate tries another method. In a comic mishap, they end up killing the wrong man, and, thought to be dead, Chief Inspector Clouseau goes underground to try and flush out his would be killers. My favorite scene in this movie is when Chief Inspector Clouseau goes back to his apartment after he was thought to be dead, only to find that his manservant, Cato, has turned it into a 'Chinese nookie factory'. His 'meeting' with Lotus Eater Tanya, played by Valerie Leon, was really funny. A side note, Valerie Leon can also be seen in such movies as Never Say Never Again, The Spy Who Loved Me, Queen Kong, and Blood From The Mummy's Tomb...whotta babe! Anyway, Chief Inspector Clouseau eventually trails the French syndicate to Hong Kong with the movie basically culminating in a fireworks factory. Herbert Lom is also back, playing Chief Inspector Dreyfus. On hearing that Clouseau is dead, he makes a miraculous recovery and is released from the asylum. He is given is old position back as chief inspector and tasked to find and arrest Clouseau's killer, but given their past relationship, he would like nothing better than to thank them. There are a number of funny scenes where he sees Clouseau, who is presumed to be dead, and thinks he is having a relapse. One of my biggest perceived flaws with this movie was Dyan Cannon. While she is very attractive, and a capable actress, I just felt like she didn't fit in properly with the movie. She plays Simone Le Gree, one time secretary and lover to the head of the French connection. She gets mixed up with Clouseau when the French syndicate decides she's more of a liability alive with her intimate knowledge of their operation. Again, this was another storyline that could have been expanded more, but was glossed over. So, in closing, while not the best in the series, it certainly provided a number of laughs.

Summary: My favorite Pink Panther film
Review: Why do so many people hate this movie? If you ask any Panther fan what their favorite movie is, they will almost automatically say "The Pink Panther Strikes Again". That film's plot was ludicrous and at the end, Dreyfuss supposedly evaporated, but ended up acting in three more Panther films. "Revenge" has a very believable plot and Sellers is giving his best slapstick. Look for the "Salty Sea Dog" and "Godfather" scenes, they're histerical. If you are reluctant of buying this DVD in the series because someone told you it wasn't a good film, I'd think again.............
