Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMost of Catherine Schell's (Lady Litton's) laughter is genuine. Peter Sellers (Inspector Jacques Clouseau) made her laugh so hard once the camera was rolling, she had a real problem keeping a straight face in many of her scenes with him. This resulted in writer, producer, and director Blake Edwards giving up on trying to get her to react like she was supposed to in the script.
- GoofsLady Litton's drink disappears while she's in the pool.
- Quotes
Blind beggar: I am a musician and the monkey is a businessman. He doesn't tell me what to play, and I don't tell him what to do with his money.
- Crazy creditsIn the opening credits, the Pink Panther's actions and costumes provide references to Carmen Miranda, Esther Williams, Charles Chaplin, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Groucho Marx, George Raft and Boris Karloff (as Frankenstein's monster).
- Alternate versionsThe first DVD release, put out by Artisan Entertainment, did not feature the original 2.35:1 aspect ratio version of the film. Instead, the pan-and-scan version of the film was cropped, and the DVD was presented in a matted aspect ratio of 1.85:1--approximately 25% of the screen was lost in this process.

Featured 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 has no idea of what's going on(this just makes the movie what it is).
The fight between Clouseau and Kato in the apartment is hilarious. One has to wonder how long Kato was waiting in the refrigerator. The fight is just very slapstick and clumsy that it makes me and my girlfriend laugh every time we see it.
Another great point of the film is the numerous cars that Clouseau goes through. Loosing a few into a pool.
The mental breakdown of Herbert Lom's character is also one of the film's fine points.
This is -- my opinion -- the funniest of the series. I have always enjoyed it, and most likely will always enjoy it.
