Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne trailer for this movie consisted entirely of bloopers.
- GoofsWhen Dreyfus makes the U.N. building disappear at 3 p.m. EST, it is broad daylight in Germany, where it should be 9 p.m.
- Quotes
Clouseau: Does your dog bite?
Alpenros Hotel Clerk: No.
Clouseau: [bowing down to pet the dog] Nice doggie.
[Dog barks and bites Clouseau in the hand]
Clouseau: I thought you said your dog did not bite!
Alpenros Hotel Clerk: That is not my dog.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits begin with an animated Inspector Clouseau entering a cinema hall to watch a film. He is constantly beleaguered by the Pink Panther, however, and when the Panther appears on the screen impersonating various features (Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Batman, King Kong, The Sound of Music, Dracula, Singin' in the Rain, and a silent film), the Inspector finally loses his temper and climbs into the screen to get him... ending up trapped inside.
- Alternate versionsEarlier versions of this film had all sight of Peter Sellers' nunchaku removed from UK video releases until the censors' weapons reform in 1999. All versions of this film released after that time have the nunchaku reinstated.
- ConnectionsEdited into Trail of the Pink Panther (1982)
Featured review
Kato! I'm on the Phone!!!
Oh my lord...I never laughed as hard as I did when I first saw this one....What a scream. A terrifically funny flick indeed. Where do you begin? The plunger arrow on Lom's forehead-'Kill! Kill! Kill!', the fast and furious fight with Kato, complete with floating Hunchback of Notre Dame sequence and air-hose escape scene...oh my God....Love the laughing gas scene with Clouseau and Lom...oh that one is priceless.
Lesley Anne Down as a fur coat and little else garbed Russian Spy is worth a watch too. I liked her then, I do now.
Essentially you can't go wrong with this one; it's the best in the series and makes me laugh very, very hard.
And yeah, 'Ford and Kissinger' are great too..
***1/2 outta **** oh this one is a scream
