Worst of the Pink Panther series

I believe this one is the worst of Pink Panther films ever made. The story is very dull and it's a poor effort to vitalize the preceding two films' success. I'd advise to watch the later two Pink Panther films instead... Full review

I very much enjoy this installment of the series. Not very fond of any of the others. The Return of the Pink Panther just has it all in my opinion. You get a crime story, funny/stupid humor, Clouseau who still... Full review

Unfortunately, when the actor is offscreen, which is way too often, this half-baked slapstick caper grinds to a halt and highlights just what a tired enterprise director/co-writer Blake Edwards cobbled together.
However, it's amazingand oddly disconcertinghow little consequence there is to so much property destruction in the film.

The elements from which THE RETURN OF THE PINK PANTHER has been transferred are free from excessive signs of wear, with minor blemishes being the worst of it.
As I stated above, THE RETURN OF THE PINK PANTHER is definitely one of the funnier Panther sequels, although the film screeches to a halt any time that neither Peter Sellers nor Herbert Lom are on the screen.
