Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMost of Catherine Schell's (Lady Litton's) laughter is genuine. Peter Sellers (Inspector Jacques Clouseau) made her laugh so hard once the camera was rolling, she had a real problem keeping a straight face in many of her scenes with him. This resulted in writer, producer, and director Blake Edwards giving up on trying to get her to react like she was supposed to in the script.
- GoofsLady Litton's drink disappears while she's in the pool.
- Quotes
Blind beggar: I am a musician and the monkey is a businessman. He doesn't tell me what to play, and I don't tell him what to do with his money.
- Crazy creditsIn the opening credits, the Pink Panther's actions and costumes provide references to Carmen Miranda, Esther Williams, Charles Chaplin, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Groucho Marx, George Raft and Boris Karloff (as Frankenstein's monster).
- Alternate versionsThe first DVD release, put out by Artisan Entertainment, did not feature the original 2.35:1 aspect ratio version of the film. Instead, the pan-and-scan version of the film was cropped, and the DVD was presented in a matted aspect ratio of 1.85:1--approximately 25% of the screen was lost in this process.

Featured review
Now, this is Clousseau funny!
This is the first Pink Panther sequel I've seen, and is what I think much, much funnier and exciting than the original film. Here, he is on the trail to find the thief that stole the Pink Panther jewel.
This film features Clousseau's obsessive boss Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus (Herbert Lom), who absolutely loathes Clousseau, and Cato Fong (Burk Kwok), Clousseau's servant. Both Clousseau and Fong join forces to track down the diamond, resulting in nothing but a fun crime story, adventures and non-stop physical, clumsy comedy. The fight between Clouseau and Cato in the apartment is hilarious and Dreyfus losing his mind due to Clousseau driving him insane is priceless.
Overall, a sequel that is surpasses the first Pink Panther film by miles.
Grade B+
