Petros T More of a movie than "Trail of the Pink Panther", it restores some of the old Panther DNA: certain gags are quite hilarious and successfully hark back to the Peter Sellers years. Unusually, there is also an extended car chase that's both engaging and amusing. Lead Ted Wass never steals the limelight, and it's okay: his presence allows the film to exist, and he's serviceable in the part. However, the movie is overlong and gradually loses steam; by the end, the story has fallen apart completely. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review alan g Why was this movie made? Cash grab? Favor to an actor? Horrible acting. Stupid plot. Avoid. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review Alec B I have absolutely no idea why Edwards was so intent on continuing this franchise (especially with Ted Wass who just seems lost here) rather than letting it be. Also since so much of the movie is obsessed with Clouseau's, and ultimately Sellers', legacy it just makes the attempt to center the series around a new character feel like an afterthought. An all around awful movie. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Audience Member I admit I checked out this movie with low expectations, more out of completism than anything else. Actually, it wasn't as bad as expected, but though the slapstick scenes are good, the rest of the movie is blah. Inspector Clouseau is a man who acts dignified despite all his bumbling and pratfalls; Clifton Sleigh has the pratfalls but nothing else. I got the idea that what happened in the end was that Clouseau ended up going bad and ended up stealing the Pink Panther diamond for himself (though it would be stolen in turn by The Phantom-David Niven reprising his role as best as his ill health would allow). I suppose Clouseau's career as a policeman would have to end somehow for the intended replacement to take over, but I was hoping for better than this.

Not nearly as good as the 60's movies with Peter Sellers but head and shoulders above the later reboot with Steve Martin.
