Inspector Clouseau disappears, and the Surete wants the world's second best detective to look for him. However, Clouseau's enemy, Dreyfus, rigs the Surete's computer to select, instead, the world's WORST detective, NYPD Sgt. Clifton Sleigh. Sleigh obtusely bungles his way past assassins and corrupt officials as though he were Clouseau's American cousin.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Obviously this effort by Blake to keep the Pink Panther movie series alive, is a failure. It's quite a bad movie mainly because it has no direction, the plot is incredibly weak and even the repeated gags, slapstick and fight sequences look poor. The fight sequences lack fluidity and it looks more like someone is rehearsing rather than fighting. The pacing is terrible as the film drags in many places. The plot is obviously ridiculous and the characters are almost paper thin. However, it does pull a few laughs. Filling the late Peter Sellers's shoes couldn't have been an easy job for newcomer Ted Wass but he does manage to be quite funny. Joanna Lumley looks delicious but she has limited screen time. There's also a hilarious cameo towards the end by a famous star. And, that's about it. Overall, 'Curse of the Pink Panther' is a miserable attempt.

this may be sacrilege to some people,but i actually think out of the seven(original)Pink Panther movies i have seen(i will be watching the eight and final one shortly)i found this one the most entertaining.it wasn't uproariously funny,though it was amusing and i chuckled all the way through.i thought the story flowed better than in the previous films.the action scenes were better,in my opinion,as well.but the best part about this particular movie was the character of Detective Sergant Clifton Sleigh,New York City's version of Inspector Clouseau.Sleigh is as inept as Clouseau,and even more so,in my mind.the character itself is brilliant.this is the first of the original Pink Panther films not too have Peter Sellers in it,which is why i suggested it may be sacrilege to some to think it could be better than the other films.for me,Son of the Pink Panther is a 7/10

Uggh!!! This movie is a wonderful example of a movie and movie executives with no soul (or brains for that matter). Peter Sellers, the original Clouseau died and some nitwits decided this shouldn't stop them from doing another Pink Panther movie. This may not have been that bad a decision, but they also decided to have it feature Sellers as Clouseau!!! Now, the way around this was to take clips and outtakes from the previous films and intersperse them in a new and completely contrived plot.Why couldn't they just give it a rest and STOP making these movies?!?! The only positive thing about this film was that the film bombed, as the public was not about to be hoodwinked into paying to see this pile of crap!

Blake Edwards did not get on with Peter Sellers, and they only came together again many years after Shot In The Dark when both needed the money and boost to their flagging careers. Since then in the documentaries Edwards had tried to puff up his importance to the films, obviously without being able to trash Sellers too much since after his passing it would not be good PR.If ever there was proof needed that the Panther franchise depended entirely on Sellers genius it is the films that Edwards produced in the Clouseau series without Sellers, basically they are the leaden dross to the varying purity of gold that the films with Sellers were.Trail was great for the first half hour because Sellers' outtakes were in it. The next half hour was a waste of time for us who had seen the other films since it was just clips we had all seen before. The last half hour was a waste of time period.This Curse film was a complete waste of time apart from a few minutes at the end when Roger Moore gives lessons to Ted Wass (an actor who has disappeared into the the obscurity he well deserves) in exactly what comic timing and flair really is, and provides more smiles in a few seconds than has been forthcoming in the rest of the entire movie.A travesty by Blake Edwards which proves just how little his contribution was to the franchise (without Sellers there to bail him out) and how low Hollywood can stoop in the quest to wring the last cents out of a franchise and spoil the pleasant and nostalgic memories of the great and funny earlier films.Not worth rating.
