The Pink Panther 2	comment	The Pink Panther 2 is a 2009 crime comedy film and a sequel to the 2006 Pink Panther movie. Steve Martin, Jean Reno and Emily Mortimer reprise their respective roles from the previous movies while John Cleese replaces Kevin Kline as Chief Inspector Dreyfus. They are joined by Alfred Molina, Andy García, Yuki Matsuzaki and Aishwarya Rai.The plot deals with the theft of the Pink Panther diamond, along with several other valuable artifacts, by the Tornado, a Phantom Thief who has never been caught and whose true identity has been a mystery for years. Having become a national hero for finding the Pink Panther the last time it was stolen, Inspector Jacques Clouseau is recruited to join an international Dream Team of expert investigators to find the stolen items and arrest the Tornado. However, Clouseau's... unique approach to crime solving rubs his allies the wrong way, to put it mildly.The film was released to theatres on February 6, 2009 and was released on DVD and Blu-Ray on June 23, 2009.

This turns out to be the real Pink Panther and the one that was stolen and destroyed by Sonia is revealed to be a fake. Clouseau swapped the real diamond with the replica to protect it from the Tornado. And the Medal of Honor which deflects a bullet fired by Sonia.

The Pink Panther 2 / int_3aec9e5e	comment	Properly Paranoid: Clouseau is instructed to go to Japan, the site of the Tornado's most recent heist, to meet up with the Dream Team. However, Clouseau is reluctant to leave as he believes that without him in France to protect it, the Pink Panther will be taken by the Tornado. Indeed, no sooner does Clouseau step past the "You are now leaving France" sign at the airport, than a news report reveals that the Pink Panther has been stolen again. Overlaps with Crazy-Prepared in that he was so paranoid regarding this that HE stole the Pink Panther FIRST and replaced it with a fake, KNOWING that the Tornado would come for the diamond.

The Pink Panther 2 / int_43b154c9	comment	Not Even Bothering with the Accent: In contrast to Herbert Lom, a Czechoslovakian-born emigrant to Britain, John Cleese's accent as Dreyfus in The Pink Panther 2 is strongly British, which is exceptionally ironic, given the historical rivalries between Britain and France. Hilarity Ensues when Cleese's Dreyfus tries to say the Override Command "hamburger" with his British accent in The Pink Panther 2, only for Steve Martin's imitation French mispronunciation of "hamburger" to successfully call off the security forces.

The Pink Panther is now treated as a national treasure of France, instead of a priceless gem that once belonged to a man who gave it to his girlfriend. The only thing carried over from the previous movie relating to the diamond is that Clouseau found the diamond when it went missing the first time, but no other details about that case are given.

Clouseau also realizes that the real Tornado wasn't the thief when his supposed suicide note described the fake Pink Panther's "beauty"; since the Tornado was an expert on gems and their value, he would have known the diamond Clouseau left at the museum was a fake.

The Pink Panther 2 / int_859bbabc	comment	The Cassandra: Clouseau three times over. Clouseau is reluctant to leave France because he fears the Tornado will steal the Pink Panther without him to protect it. However, Dreyfus dismisses his concerns. Sure enough, as Clouseau is about to board a plane out of France, the fake Pink Panther is reported stolen. The Dream Team questions Alonso Avellaneda, a man who was once a fence for the Tornado and was even believed to be the Tornado himself. Despite Avellaneda proving he is not the Tornado, Clouseau still thinks he is not entirely truthful. Indeed, Avellaneda was actually hiding the Tornado in his house. Dreyfus and the Dream Team don't believe Clouseau when he tells them that the Tornado, who has been found dead, is not the thief. They also don't believe him when he says Sonia is actually the thief until she pulls a gun on Nicole.

Sonia knows far more about the Tornado than anyone else on Earth and wrote a book about his exploits. Her knowledge of the Tornado's skills are how she was able to commit the thefts. After the Dream Team leaves Avellaneda's home, it's revealed that the Tornado had been hiding there all along. As they leave, the Tornado mentions that he knows a member of the Dream Team personally. At one point, Sonia and Clouseau talk about their respective relationship problems and Sonia says that the man she is in love with does not love her back.

The Dream Team find him dead from an apparent suicide with all the stolen items, except the Pink Panther which his note says he destroyed. Everyone except Clouseau believes the case is closed. Clouseau turns out to be right: the real thief is actually Sonia Solandres, the Tornado's ex-lover, who framed him for the thefts so she could lure him out of hiding and kill him. As the Pink Panther was the only item that could be fenced by being cut into smaller gems, Sonia allowed the team to find the other items, while she kept the diamond for herself.

By checking his records, Clouseau realizes he had given a ticket to the same car two days before the Pink Panther was stolen. This contradicts Sonia's alibi that she had been delayed to the crime scene by her flight — she had actually been in Paris much earlier and committed the theft. Clouseau has one when the Tornado's fake suicide note describes the beauty of the Pink Panther diamond which the thief supposedly destroyed. Clouseau realized the Tornado couldn't have been the thief because the Pink Panther diamond had been swapped with a replica Clouseau had at home to protect it — the real Tornado would have been able to tell it was a fake and whoever stole it was merely pretending to be the Tornado.
