blake edward direct three panther film after the death of legendary peter seller ( 1925 1980 ) the original clouseau and a master comedian . curse of the pink panther ( 1983 ) be the middle one of em . i have no idea why he have the nerve to make a laughing matter out of the fact that seller be go and respect his immortal memory little enough to continue the saga . be he in the need of some more money ( i doubt ) or be he just miss a good hobby . if his intention be to make the audience happy and he fail . i think trail of the pink panther ( 1982 ) wasn not all that bad yet . it be fine entertainment but mostly because of the funny leftover scene with seller in em . the last two panther flick suck pretty hard because they have absolutely nothing to get to do with seller anymore . i remember i actually liked curse of the pink panther when i be a kid . that doesn not tell much of anything and kid like lot of crappy movie . of course i be old enough to miss clouseau but it do not bother me that much . from today point of view i miss clouseau even more and like the movie even less . still and surprisingly curse of the pink panther isn not all that bad because i can still watch it without throw up and i be sure that something everyone can not manage to do . there couple of good scene here and there and i can still enjoy it because of the old team represent david niven and robert wagner and herbert lom and joanna lumley and capucine and burt kwoak . theyre all here to fill the enormous hole seller leave behind . what trouble me most be this ted wass guy . his failed attempt be to be some kind of a modern buster keaton . be he actually try to be funny . who be he anyway . his clumsiness work a few time now and then but he million of light year away from the stylish act of seller . the cameo of roger moore be probably the only really nice surprise this movie have to offer . my rating represent negative . ten year later edwards felt he have to direct son of the pink panther and awful conclusion to the essentially great series of movie .
