margoreally This one is hilarious. It is one of the best ones. Peter Sellers is in it. All the criticisms of the first review on the list of reviews are unfounded. This one is good.

sol- Incorrectly pronounced dead after his car crashes and explodes, Inspector Clouseau goes undercover to investigate whether an attempt was made on his life in this fifth Blake Edwards 'Pink Panther' film. As with the previous entries, everything is buoyed up by Peter Sellers perfectly playing a bumbling fool completely oblivious to his own incompetence. Sellers has a deliciously absurd array of disguises this time too, including a pirate get-up with inflatable shoulder parrot, and Burt Kwuok nicely has a chance to add dimension to Cato, who helps Sellers in his investigation this time, rather than just randomly attacking him. Promising as the film may sound, it sags more often than its predecessors with lags between jokes. Herbert Lom also has too little screen time, not appearing at all for over half an hour, despite second billing; his looks of disbelief, wondering if he has gone mad as he keeps seeing the supposedly dead Sellers alive, make for an excellent running gag that is not used often enough. The film is also let down by its most effects-driven scene in a fireworks factory paling by comparison to a very similar bit in 'Thoroughly Modern Millie'. With Sellers solid as ever, another lot of great animated opening credits (Dyan Cannon's name appears on a cannon here!) and Lom and Kwuok giving it their all in their all when on screen, 'Revenge' is still a worthwhile film, especially for fans of the series. Sure, the formula begins to wear thin this time, but 'begin' is the operative word as this entry is really not as far below par as one might expect from its reputation.

SnoopyStyle To demonstrate his powerfulness, crime boss Philippe Douvier (Robert Webber) decides to kill Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Peter Sellers). His men kill a transvestite instead and mistakenly believes that Clouseau is actually dead. The former Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) is brought back to give the eulogy and lure out the killers. Meanwhile Clouseau and his man-servant Cato Fong (Burt Kwouk) aim to track down his would-be assassin.The best thing about this Pink Panther sequel is the return of Peter Sellers, Herbert Lom, and Burt Kwouk. The trio represents the best combination in the Pink Panther franchise. The movie is kind of boring whenever the three isn't on screen. The opening is problematic because of that fact. One of the three should be on screen at least 95% of the time. They are chuckle worthy just by being there. The rest of the cast is forgettable and unimportant.

AaronCapenBanner Fifth outing for Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau finds him once again dodging assassins sent by gangsters who want him out of the way permanently. Clouseau decides to fake his death as a result, in order to go undercover to find the culprits, utilizing many more outlandish disguises in his exploits. Robert Weber and Dyan Cannon costar, and somehow(inexplicably!) Chief Inspector Dreyfuss(Herbert Lom) is still alive, and released from the mental asylum(Huh?) Though the returning cast is still game, film is just passable, since, aside from big credibility issues, it isn't quite as inspired or funny this time, but is still OK. Sadly, this was Peter Seller's last performance as Clouseau, though that wouldn't stop him from "appearing" in Part VI/Trail!
