DVD Reviews of The Pink Panther Strikes AgainDVD Review: Sellers is Silly and Funny - Summary: 4 StarsThis is the fourth of the Pink Panther films, which was made in 1976. I found that was totally enjoyable to watch. Peter Sellers plays the Iconic "Inspector Clouseau", who is perfect blend of Charlie Chaplin and James Bond.
The films plot shows that the long-suffering boss, Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom), is driven insane by Clouseau's (Peter Seller) inept and irrational ways that magically leave him successful and looking like a hero.
Clouseau takes over the duties of Chief of Police, as Dreyfus escapes from his insane asylum caretakers. As Deputy Chief of Police, Clouseau escapes from a group of 26 hapless assassins, and also dons costumes and hilarious accents to show off his improvisational abilities. He displays his Karate moves with his valet, Cato (Bert Kwouk).
Dreyfus is intent on finishing off Clouseau, so he captures a scientist known as Dr. Hugo Fassbinder (Richard Vernon) who is inventor of the death ray (or a ray that makes everything invisible). With the death ray as leverage, Dreyfus threatens to destroy everything unless Clouseau is turned over to him. World leaders hear of this and have a meeting where they decide to send a beautiful Russian Spy (Lesley-Anne Down to lure him to his doom. Of course, she falls in love with him and wants to give up spying to be with Clouseau.
The plot gets crazier, if that is possible. Dreyfus has a bad tooth and somehow Clouseau disguised as a dentist gets into Dreyfus' castle and saves the day.
As usual, the story is about Clouseau and how he manages to avert evil, accidents and death and save the world. Many laughs if you can handle silly situations.
DVD Review: Best Pink Panther....ever! Summary: 5 StarsThis is absolutely my favorite Pink Panther movie. You'll laugh so hard, your sides will hurt.
DVD Review: Triumphant Clouseau Summary: 4 StarsAfter the commercial comeback of "The Return of the Pink Panther," Peter Sellers and director Blake Edwards maintain their creative momentum with this immediate sequel. Happily, "The Pink Panther Strikes Again" (1976) surpasses its predecessor in comic invention and production value. This time around, Sellers' immortal Inspector Clouseau must stop the insane Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) from destroying the world - not an easy task when the ex-boss calls for international assassins to eliminate the bumbling French detective. Edwards and Sellers make the most of this outlandish premise with several hilarious set pieces, highlighted by Clouseau's eventual penetration into Dreyfus' Bavarian castle. Slightly sadistic at times, but a comedy classic nevertheless.

DVD Review: THE BEST PINK PANTHER Summary: 5 StarsThe Pink Panther Strikes Again
Peter Sellers returns as the slightly dim-witted, Inspector Jack Clouseau, in this sporadically funny follow-up. Steve Martin, like in a Hindu Proverb, has to be born a thousand incarnations, before he can come within a thousand miles of Peter Sellers. This time, Clouseau, is fighting his former chief, Dreyfus(Herbert Lom), who controls a piece of machinery, with which he is threatening to blow us all sky high. Blake Edwards is at the helm again, and, Lesley Ann Down, provides the beauty.
Description of The Pink Panther Strikes AgainPeter Sellers is "in top form" (Cue) in this zany adventure that finds the accident-prone InspectorClouseau using some of his most outlandish disguises ever. With "ferociously funny karate encounters" (Time) with the enigmatic Cato (Burt Kwouk) and dangerous intrigue with a sexy Russian spy (Lesley-Anne Down), this hysterical comedy will strike your funny bone! Driven over the edge by the maddeningly incompetent Clouseau, former Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) commandeers a doomsday device and threatens to destroy the world. His only demand? Clouseau's death! But thanks to his nemesis' dumb luck, the assassins hired to kill him can't seem to finish the job - although Clouseau may do it himself by tripping over his own two feet! The fourth Pink Panther film with Peter Sellers and directed by Blake Edwards is easily the most over-the-top, but it's still pretty entertaining. The story finds Clouseau's former boss (Herbert Lom) totally insane after years of enduring the bumbling detective, and sequestered in a castle with a death-ray gun. Clouseau has to stop him from using the weapon on the world, and his efforts to do so make for some choice, Edwards-style slapstick. The quotient of destruction (a Clouseau staple) is higher than average, but there is also real wit--particularly in a final scene where Lom re-creates his most famous role as the monster from the 1962 Phantom of the Opera. --Tom Keogh
