| Curse of the Pink Panther | comment |
Curse of the Pink Panther is a 1983 crime/comedy film and the eighth installment in The Pink Panther franchise, once again directed by Blake Edwards. This film is the first in the franchise not to star Peter Sellers as Inspector Jacques Clouseau, who had gone missing in the film prior to this one. Instead, the spotlight is given to up-and-coming actor Ted Wass (chosen from his role as Danny Dallas from TV sitcom Soap), who plays Detective Sergeant Clifton Sleigh, a bespeckled American police officer.One year after Inspector Clouseau has disappeared, the President of France orders Dreyfus to program a supercomputer to select a new detective just like Clouseau (whom the world believes to be a Great Detective) to find him. Naturally, fearing that the new detective will indeed find Clouseau and ruin his life all over again, Dreyfus consults a criminal computer genius to help him sabotage the computer to instead select the worst detective it can find...And he gets his wish.The computer selects Detective Sergeant Clifton Sleigh, a haplessly-inept but well-meaning American cop from New York City who, as expected, is every bit as bungling as the man he's looking for! | |

Gone Horribly Right: Dreyfus wanted the absolute worst detective in the whole wide world, and he got it. And within five seconds of meeting him, Clifton Sleigh, the American clone of Jacques Clouseau, sent him to the hospital and very nearly got him killed. | |

Never Trust a Trailer: The scene where Sleigh is seduced by Juleta in a hotel (as she croons "Don't blow it...") is immediately followed by a clip of Sleigh being blasted out of a window, making it both a Visual Pun and somewhat of a Gilligan Cut. | |

Clickbait Gag: The trailer and poster for the film play up a scene where Sleigh takes to the skies in a parasail as a major part of the film, when in actuality the scene doesn't play much importance aside from landing him in Chandra's health spa. | |

Book Ends: The first film in the series is about the Littons trying to steal the Pink Panther diamond from the princess of Lugash, and although they come close to victory, they do not succeed. In Curse, it's revealed that the diamond has fallen into the hands Countess Chandra and her newfound lover, but at the end of the film, they find it missing from their safe with a white monogrammed glove in its place. The film concludes with the Littons sailing away into the sunset with the diamond in their grasp. | |

Establishing Character Moment: We first see Sleigh disguised as a hooker in an attempt to catch a group of muggers in the act, only to get chatted up by a drunkard, roughed up by an actual hooker mistaking Sleigh for intruding on her turf, which in turn leads to a riot in the streets with him in the center of it all. It's quickly set up that Mr. Chong is not someone to fuck with, as he manages to split a bolder apart with a single blow. Oh, and it manages to collapse the dojo, too. | |

Rearrange the Song | |
| Curse of the Pink Panther / int_b24ce4b2 | comment |
Rearrange the Song: Done with The Pink Panther Theme, per usual. The opening titles variant heavily utilizes synthesizers to align with the musical trends of The'80s. It also takes many melodic detours, including a synth solo rather than a saxophone solo, as well as a short insertion of Clifton Sleigh's theme. There was also an alternate version that went unused. The end credits variant is more or less a revamp of the disco-like arrangement made for Revenge of the Pink Panther, with a more thrilling tone and a ripping electric guitar solo. | |

Uncomfortable Elevator Moment | |
| Curse of the Pink Panther / int_df4b69d6 | comment |
Uncomfortable Elevator Moment: Happens twice. The first happens when Sleigh checks into a hotel and heads into the lift with the "Instant Companion" and the bellboy. The doll begins deflating again on the way up, so Sleigh dips down to her legs to inflate her. Of course, the bellboy thinks he's doing some rug-munching, so he's obviously quite anxious to leave. The second happens in Valencia in a much more crowded elevator. A rich old woman's dog lets one rip while in Bruno's arms, and she suspects him to have done it. | |

Of Course I Smoke | |
| Curse of the Pink Panther / int_edf0331d | comment |
Of Course I Smoke: When dressed as a hooker in his first scene, Clifton tries smoking to make the disguise appear more authentic, only to start coughing and hacking like mad. This happens again later when he tries smoking with his inflatable “Instant Companion� when trying to evade the Mafia. | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute | |
| Curse of the Pink Panther / int_f5a3e496 | comment |
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Clifton is just as bumbling and clumsy as Clouseau, but does lack the latter's egotistical nature and confidence. This is justified In-Universe as Dreyfus deliberately selecting a detective just as dumb and hapless as Clouseau to fail in the search for him. Lieutenant Palmyra is also very similar to Dreyfus, having to deal with Sleigh's buffoonery in a similar manner. However, he's much less evil and more of a nervous, agitated wreck, able to tug out large clumps of his hair with ease and downing Pepto Bismol 24/7. | |

Series Fauxnale | |
| Curse of the Pink Panther / int_f9c3ecc6 | comment |
Series Fauxnale: Despite being the penultimate film in the original franchise, there is a surprising amount of finality that ties in with past films in the series. Granted, this is because the plan afterwards was to continue centering the series around Clifton Sleigh in the U.S., and so this film set out to resolve all loose ends on the east side of the pond. Both banes of Dreyfus’ existence, Clouseau and Sleigh, are now out of his life forever. Inspector Clouseau is finally declared dead, when in reality, he is still in hiding with his new-found lover, and joins her in a new life of crime. The Litton’s finally bag the Pink Panther diamond. | |

Running Gag | |
| Curse of the Pink Panther / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: More than one character repeats the phrase "Never look a gift horse in the mouth" for whatever reason. Dreyfus falls backwards out of his office window twice, and another time, falls backwards into the sea in a wheelchair. A lens in Clifton's glasses pops out twice. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: Juleta, usually a plucky and petite Brit, single-handedly takes out a gang of baddies and a martial artist for Sleigh's sake. | |
