Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaElke Sommer didn't want to reprise the role of Maria Gambrelli, feeling there was no point without Peter Sellers.
- GoofsWhen Commisioner Dreyfus accidentally ejects himself from his hospital bed, person being ejected is a clearly a stunt double, with darker hair, and more of it.
- Quotes
Maria Gambrelli: Charles, I planned to tell you... I had twins.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits have the Pink Panther stepping out of a cinema screen to conduct a live-action orchestra to his theme music (taking the baton from composer Henry Mancini). He does a superb job... until an animated Inspector Gambrelli mucks things up.
- Alternate versionsItalian prints (available on DVD in Italy) contains several alternate scenes, different camera angles and sound effects. This version runs at 86 minutes, seven minutes shorter of the U.S. cut. The alternate scenes are somewhat bawdy and make for a much funnier film:
- Gambrelli, riding in the car with Dreyfus and Francois Duval, sneezes and then grabs for a rag to wipe down the mess, but pulls out a condom instead. From there he starts stretching it and inflating it like a balloon. The condom then pops.
- Gambrelli's lock up with the princess: Hans drops his body on the floor in Yasmin's room before leaving. Gambrelli comes to his senses seeing Yasmin, collapsing onto Yasmin's lap in a stupor. He then recoups himself onto her chest and makes love with the aroused Yasmin. He attempts to burst out the door, but gets flung back onto the floor. The scene ends with implied oral sex as the shot focuses on Yasmin's face, much to her satisfaction.
- Dialogue from Gambrelli during the ending animated Pink Panther sequence.
- ConnectionsFeatured in The Movie Game: Episode #8.5 (1995)
Featured review
Surprisingly good
It's surprising it has such a low rating as it probably ranks just after The Pink Panther, A Shot in the Dark, and The Pink Panther Strikes Again in quality. Begnini captures the essence of Clouseau better than Steve Martin, and defintely better than the dreadful Ted Wass.
The plot is good and the film quality is noticeably better than the two previous films.
