This may sound like a weird comment to make, but this Korean horror flick suffers from an overabundance of plot. It has some creepy moments but the number of of side stories and flashbacks really derail the movie.

True, it's not often I read that sort of criticism about movies!

The Pink Panther Strikes Again is my favourite Pink Panther film to date. I think a lot of young people here will find the humour slightly dated, but if you're the sort who likes really silly slapstick, this movie will reduce you to tears.
Peter Sellers plays Jacques Clouseau, a policeman with a very good track record for solving crimes despite his vast incompetence. He has become chief inspector after his old chief inspector Dreyfus eventually got murderously insane and hell-bent on killing Clouseau and admitted to an insane asylum (it's just the effect Clouseau eventually has on people, I guess, as he constantly causes mayhem and misfortune for others wherever he is). At the start of this film, Dreyfus is well on the way to recovery and about to get released from the asylum when a surprise visit from Clouseau reverses all the treatment he's had and he becomes murderously insane again. Instead of getting released from the mental hospital, Dreyfus escapes and tries to kill Clouseau on his own. When that fails, he instead builds a doomsday device that he uses to force the worlds nations to try and kill Clouseau who then gets a large amount of assassins on his back.
Add to that of course the walking comedic entity Jacques Clousea played by Peter Sellers and you got a very funny film. For me, this is a definite classic and I re-watch it every few years. Great stuff :) |
