Curse of the Pink Panther is a 1983 comedy film and a continuation of The Pink Panther series of films created by Blake Edwards in the early 1960s. Turk Thrust II (Sir Roger Moore) received a "Special Guest Star" credit. The film features a cameo by Roger Mooreas Clouseau himselfat the end of the film. Although it was produced by the Mirisch Corporation (who owned the rights to the Pink Panther and Clouseau characters), key people associated with the earlier films, such as Peter Sellers, Blake Edwards, and Henry Mancini, were not involved in the making of this film. Inspector Clouseau was only a secondary character as Litton's incompetent antagonist and provided slapstick to an otherwise subtle, lighthearted caper film, a somewhat jarring contrast of styles which is typical of Edwards's films. Actually, it wasn't as bad as expected, but though the slapstick scenes are good, the rest of the movie is blah. This sequel was lensed simultaneously with "Trail of the Pink Panther" (USA/1983). Sellers' role is created by using scenes cut from Strikes Again, as well as flashbacks from the previous Pink Panther films. The film also co-starred Catherine Schell, Peter Arne, and Graham Stark. Many critics, including Leonard Maltin, regard A Shot in the Dark as the best film in the series. Granted, it is weak compared to the great Panther films (Return, Strikes Again, A Shot in the Dark) and the good Panther films (Revenge, Trail and even Son)but somehow, I liked this better than the initial Panther film. Clouseau's boss and nemesis Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) is directed to use a supercomputer to find the world's greatest detective to find France's greatest detective. The Pink Panther (1963) A Shot In The Dark (1964) Inspector Clouseau (1968) The Return of the Pink Panther (1975) The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976) Revenge of the Pink Panther (1978), Romance of the Pink Panther (1980/1981) Trail of the Pink Panther (1982) Curse of the Pink Panther (1983) Son of the Pink Panther (1993), The Pink Panther (2006) The Pink Panther 2 (2009). Curse of the Pink Panther is a 1983 crime comedy-drama film and a continuation of The Pink Panther series of films created by Blake Edwards in the early 1960s.

Final theatrical movie of David Niven (Sir Charles Litton) and Harold Kasket (President Sandover Haleesh). Martin once again played Clouseau in The Pink Panther 2, though that film was not as successful as the first. Mancini's other themes for the first film include an Italian-language set-piece called "Meglio stasera", whose purpose seems primarily to introduce young actress Fran Jeffries. Dudley Moore had been Blake Edwards' original choice for the role of Det. inspector Cleaseau is off somewhere searching for the Pink Panther diamond so in the meantime, Chief Inspector Dreyfuss programs a computer to find his replacement,, but instead of picking the best qualified detective he programs the computer to pick the worst detective,, so from NYC comes a bumbling idiot you would think is closeau's American cousin,, i'm sure Dreyfuss is going ape now that he has met the police officer,,, Roger Moore has a cameo in the end of the movie that's pretty cool,, This was David Niven's last film,, I really liked him throughout his work on some of the Pink Panther movies,, alothough obviously not the strongest panther movie,, certainly not the weakest. Also, this was David Niven's final film. The guests appearances through out the movie were also nice. This sat badly with Blake Edwards who was used to letting Peter Sellers try many different takes to find the funniest way of playing his scenes. Although official, the live-action film Inspector Clouseau (1968) starring Alan Arkin as Clouseau, is generally not considered by fans to be part of the series canon, since it involved neither Sellers nor Edwards. After watching the predecessor of this film, I can see that the series has found new life where it once lay dieing just a year before. This movie is a wonderful example of a movie and movie executives with no soul (or brains for that matter). Herbert Lom as Dreyfus still provides some laughs but Burt Kwouk as Cato was mostly wasted here especially when he wrestles with the American Sleigh at the now-Clouseau Museum apartment. The character was featured in the opening of every Clouseau film except A Shot in the Dark and Inspector Clouseau. Anxious to be rid of Sleigh, Dreyfus announces that Sleigh has solved the mystery and officially closes the case, though it is clear that Dreyfus does not believe that this is what happened. That is the question they asked themselves. This is explained at the beginning of the first film, and the camera zooms in on the diamond to reveal the blurry flaw, which focuses on the cartoon Panther (though not actually leaping) to begin the opening credits sequence. Here she was recast as Countess Chandra. Curse of the Pink Panther: Official Clip - Hit the Water! Ohio University Press, 1989. Despite speculation, Alan Arkin does not appear in Trail of the Pink Panther. Cast members filmed their scenes at the same time as shooting Trail of the Pink Panther (1982). The cartoon opening and closing credits for the film were animated and produced by Marvel Productions and written and directed by Art Leonardi. It was also announced that the film will focus on both the Pink Panther himself and Inspector Clouseau.[4][5]. The film was one of two produced concurrently following the death of the series' star, Peter Sellers. I know that most people see "Curse of the Pink Panther" as being a pretty weak film. Critics agree, though, that one positive aspect of the film was Moore's cameo which makes quite a contrast to his usual part of suave and sophisticated hero. Feeble entry in the Pink Panther series, full of tired comic mishaps and disinterested performances. with updates on movies, TV shows, Rotten Tomatoes podcast and more. The rank of Clifton Sleigh (Ted Wass) is given as Sergeant in the movie, but the closing credits refer to him as an Officer. There are quite a few scenes that went on too long. Just confirm how you got your ticket. This movie was a failed attempt to revitalize the "Pink Panther" films. Set in the ski resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo. The sequel to Steve Martin's 2006 film. Sleigh sees the case as an opportunity to prove his worth. This was Niven's final film, and due to his failing health his voice was dubbed by impressionist Rich Little during post-production. The film was panned by most critics, but was a financial success, grossing $164.1 million against an $80 million budget. This admittedly pointless attempt to continue the series without Peter Sellers is a far cry from most of its predecessors, but it has its share of genuinely funny scenes and a great performance by Ted Wass. You don't even have to see the film to know it can't be done. Pushing two hours is way too long for a movie like this.

In Trail of the Pink Panther, Joanna Lumley had been a TV investigative reporter. This - number seven in the popular series - is a feeble comedy in which the plot is poorly contrived, the actors look totally indifferent, and the comic moments are tired rehashes of scenes from the earlier films. At the same time Ted Wass like Clouseau is making life intolerable for Inspector Dreyfuss . Langois attempts many assassinations on Sleigh, but Sleigh's bumbling nature allows him to evade the attacks, and ultimately, Langois, along with his henchmen (including Mr. Chong from Revenge of the Pink Panther), have a final showdown with Sleigh, although a mysterious young woman (smitten with Sleigh) comes to his rescue and manages to defeat Langlois (by giving him the Family Jewels) and the thugs in combat. Since Clouseau's clumsiness drove him to a series of nervous breakdowns, Dreyfus in particular is desperate not to see or hear from him ever again. The series would probably have resembled the Police Academy movies more than the classic Pink Panther films. Edwards shot on location in France (in Paris and Nice), Spain (in the streets of Valencia and on the island of Ibiza), the mountain resort town of Cortina in Italy, and New York City, while interiors were shot at Pinewood in England. It's a weak entry in the film. As it transpires, the Pink Panther was stolen by Gino Rossi (Christopher Reich) who bore a little physical resemblance to Clouseau.

Cinemark [3] However, on November 19, 2020, a CGI animated / live-action hybrid Pink Panther film was officially announced with Jeff Fowler directing the feature instead of Silverman and Chris Bremner developing the script, though the film will still be produced by Julie Andrews, Walter Mirisch, and his son Lawrence Mirisch.

The diamond reappears in several later films in the series, The Return of the Pink Panther (1975), Trail of the Pink Panther (1982) and Curse of the Pink Panther (1983).

Moore took the name in tribute to his friend Bryan Forbes, an actor turned director who used the name Turk Thrust when he made a cameo in the 1964 Clouseau film A Shot in the Dark. Also, Sellers portrays Evelyn Tremble (who is given the code name James Bond 007) in Casino Royale (1967), meaning that Moore and Sellers have the distinction of playing two famous spy or detective characters, James Bond and Inspector Clouseau. Curse of the Pink Panther (1983) Following Seller's demise, we see the Pink Panther series plunge into a poor box office performance. Ted Wass is bland and ineffectual; when I watch him here I keep thinking of how much better this movie could have been if most of his scenes were acted or directed differently.

[5] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 31 out of 100 based on 8 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[6]. This Roger Rabbit knock-off never aired. Having no such intentions, Dreyfus ingeniously hires the world's worst detective, the New York Police Department's not-so-finest Clifton Sleigh (Wass), to ensure that Clouseau is never located.

The film star that Sleigh met was in fact Clouseau who had undergone very extensive plastic surgery. Also since so much of the movie is obsessed withClouseau's, and ultimately Sellers', legacy it just makes the attempt to center the series around a new character feel like an afterthought.
