“Hilarious! Ineptitude triumphs again – gloriously!”

“Peter Sellers is the poet of slapstick” (Village Voice) – and here he rhymes yet again as the hopelessly clueless Inspector Clouseau. Co-starring Herbert Lom, Colin Blakely and Lesley – Anne Down, this wickedly funny tour of insanity – and inanity – will leave you rolling onto the floor with laughter… perhaps right out of the “rheuuum!”

“Give me ten men like Clouseau, and I could destroy the world” Inspector Dreyfus (Lom) said in A Shot In The Dark. But in The Pink Panther Strikes Again, he actually tries! Finally driven over the brink by his maddeningly incompetent underling, Dreyfus commandeers a doomsday device and threatens global destruction. His only demand? He wants Clouseau exterminated. The community’s response? “No problem!” But Clouseau’s dumb luck serves him so well that the 26 assassins hired to kill him can’t manage – though he may do the trick himself by tripping over his own two feet!

Featuring an uncredited cameo by Omar Sharif, “ferociously funny karate encounters” (Time) with Panther regular Burt Kwouk and some of the most outlandishly improbable Clouseau disguises ever, The Pink Panther Strikes Again is a “hilarious, excellent and superb” comedy (Variety) that’ll strike you as very funny indeed!
