OK... had the misfortune of running this at the weekend at the Galaxy Outdoor...

This has, IMHO, got to go down as one of the WORST films ever to have the misfortune to reach celuloid. Having said that...there was more than one person in the audience laughing their heads off. Granted...most of them were under the age of 12 and had no idea that waht they were seeing was a VERY poor imitation of what has come before.

Blake Edwards really messed up when he made Trail, Curse and Son Of The Pink Panther...but even he did make every other one and they were brilliant. Yes, even Revenge...

I'm really not sure what they were thinking when they did this. There are some glaring errors in the Clouseau character from Steve Martin...to the point where I wonder if he's ever bothered to watch a Peter Sellers version at all, or if he did it was Trail.

I like Steve Martin, but he's now entered the realm of Chevy Chase. An incredibly talented and gifted comedian who had succomed to starring in bad movies for a quick buck. If Chevy EVER got a decent script...I'd be there. Heck, his cameo in Orange County was worth the price of admission alone.

This movie sucked big time. I came home straight after and put on my DVD of the original PP. Sellers spun the globe and fell off it onto the floor and I laughed my head off...something I didn't do for the entire 93 tedious minutes of the new version.
