comment
The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976) is the fifth film in The Pink Panther franchise, once again directed by Blake Edwards and starring Peter Sellers as (now-Chief Inspector) Clouseau.Three years after the events of The Return of the Pink Panther,note though this film was only made one year after Former Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) is seemingly cured... but after meeting up with Clouseau just prior to his planned release from the psychiatric hospital, the therapy is undone. Dreyfus escapes and organizes a criminal gang that kidnaps nuclear physicist Hugo Fassbender (Richard Vernon) and his daughter Margo (Briony McRoberts). Forcing the former to build a Disintegrator Ray, Dreyfus threatens to unleash it on the world unless Clouseau is killed, and many countries immediately send assassins after Clouseau as he sets out to stop Dreyfus himself.Followed by Revenge of the Pink Panther.

Artistic License – Gun Safety: Going by the way that Clouseau accidentally shot a man in the ass by knocking one over and making it go off, Professor Fassbender stores his hunting rifles loaded and unsafed. During the scene at the insane asylum, a man walks in front of an archery target moments before someone shoots at it, with a real arrow. Said target is in the middle of an open field with no backstop.

Simple Solution Won't Work
 The Pink Panther Strikes Again / int_16dda55f
comment
Simple Solution Won't Work: After former Chief Inspector Dreyfus makes a threat to the governments of the world that he will destroy the world with a disintegration beam unless they kill Inspector Jacques Clouseau for him, Dreyfus' assistant points out that in order to steal the beam he assembled a band composed of the most dangerous criminals in the world, so why not use them to kill Clouseau instead? Dreyfus answers, with surprising bluntness, "Because you wouldn't stand a chance." Sure enough, the governments of the world assemble a Carnival of Killers composed of the best assassins under their employ, and the ones that don't murder each other following their governments' orders all end up being annihilated by Clouseau's incredible luck and well-timed bumbling — and Dreyfus' assistant also ends up accidentally buying it when he decides to disobey his boss and try to take out Clouseau himself.

The Cameo: Omar Sharif plays the Egyptian assassin whom the Russian one mistakes for Clouseau on their initial meeting; he beds her, and she falls in love and chooses not to kill him, which is extremely confusing for the real Clouseau later. There's also a musical cameo: the (intentionally) awful singing voice sported by drag queen Jarvis is supplied by Julie Andrews via dubbing.

Also Dreyfus has been trying to kill Clouseau ever since his first appearance in A Shot in the Dark, but in this film he goes full-blown James Bond supervillain and threatens to destroy the world unless someone, anyone, kills Clouseau.

Adaptational Alternate Ending: The novelization of the movie (by screenplay co-writer Frank Waldman) features a totally different and relatively bizarre ending where both Dreyfus and Professor Fassbender are disintegrated by the Doomsday Machine. The final chapter reveals that they have rematerialized in the distant future in a lonely part of space known as the Ultimate Galaxy of the Dimension Quattro (where everything they've disintegrated, including the United Nations Building and the front half of a dog named Shlep, has ended up). Facing an eternity together as the sole inhabitants of this empty plane of existence, Dreyfus and Fassbender have become friends.

Disproportionate Retribution: Dreyfus attempts to destroy an entire country because he was lied to about Clouseau's assassination. The country that falsely claimed to kill Clouseau is Egypt. The country Dreyfus decides to punish is England. Well, he did say "they all betrayed me" and his demand to have Clouseau killed was directed at the entire world, so... And then there's of course the whole plot hinging on him threatening to destroy/kill the entire world unless someone kills Clouseau for him. Lastly, Professor Fassbender was from England, and Dreyfus was completely insane by that point.

Potty Dance: Just before activating the doomsday machine, Dreyfus says he needs to go to the bathroom and tells Fassbender to hold off until he gets back. The Professor says he has already started the firing sequence, causing Dreyfus to wince in discomfort as he watches the machine being aimed.

Badass Boast: Dreyfus says as much about Clouseau. Although he does not mean it as a compliment at all. To wit, one of Dreyfus' goons points out the obvious: Dreyfus has some of the finest hitmen in Europe in the very room they're standing, so why not handle it themselves instead of extorting the world's governments to do it for them? Dreyfus' answer?

Stating the Simple Solution: Some of the criminals ask Dreyfus why they don't just go after Clouseau themselves, instead of having the world's assassins do it. Dreyfus replies that they would not stand a chance (as we see, he's right - even the world's top assassins are helpless against Clouseau's incredible luck).

Screen-to-Stage Adaptation
 The Pink Panther Strikes Again / int_99244825
comment
Screen-to-Stage Adaptation: A stage version was created for regional/amateur theaters in 1981. It's a Pragmatic Adaptation that, among other things, gives the Girl of the Week more characterization, has its own "Pink Panthers" (stagehands who sometimes interfere with the plot), and completely rethinks the climax: the disintegrator ray has a self-destruct mechanism built in that the professor activates. Dreyfus is ready to go down with it, but Clouseau's morals and sense of honor mean he's ready to Save the Villain...or go down with him. The prospect of going into eternity with Clouseau is terrifying enough for Dreyfus that he allows himself to be saved and taken into custody.

However, Clouseau is actually an aversion; the assassins took each other out by accident while Clouseau, who wasn't even aware of them, survived through dumb luck.

Sex–Face Turn: The same effect is achieved not by the antagonistic woman actually seducing the hero, but by having her sleep with someone she thought was him when it was in fact another member of the same multi-national Carnival of Killers as her. This leaves the hero very confused when she suddenly appears naked in his bed professing her undying love for him.

Oh, Crap!: Upon reading the transcript of Dreyfus' threat, the Scotland Yard detectives initially laugh it off, until they read that he intends to make the UN building disappear. They realize he intends to use Fassbender's work to make good on his threat. The US President's Secretary of State has one when he learns that twelve countries have their top assassins converging on the Oktoberfest to kill Clouseau: Clouseau is catapulted onto the doomsday machine, knocking it out of position. Everyone in the control room panics upon seeing the machine is now pointing inside.

Too Dumb to Live: Jean Tournier, an otherwise brilliant criminal, goes against Dreyfus's advice and decides to take out Clouseau himself for clout. His plan? Sneak into Clouseau's hotel room disguised as Clouseau himself. He is immediately gunned down by the Egyptian assassin, showing that maybe dressing as the man all the world's greatest killers are openly gunning for may not have been the best call.

Realpolitik: Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, one of history's most famous proponents of Realpolitik, suggests that Dreyfus will likely hand over the doomsday machine to whichever country eliminates Clouseau. Hence, the assassins are ordered to kill each other in order to be the one with a shot at Clouseau, though they all fail against him nonetheless. In reality, Dreyfus muses that he might continue his reign of terror regardless of whether Clouseau is killed or not.

Invincible Incompetent: Clouseau, hands down. He manages to wander through the middle of the Oktoberfest with a small army of professional assassins after him, and emerges unscathed and completely unaware anyone was after him at all, while most of the assassins are dead at each other's hands. Admittedly, they are often trying to kill each other so that they are the one who can claim the kill to Dreyfus, but the only reason Clouseau escapes harm is his unearthly luck. Dreyfus, for his part, is Genre Savvy about this, noting that while Clouseau is terrible, none of his henchmen would stand a chance.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing: At the Oktoberfest, Clouseau wanders aimlessly through the festival while dozens of assassins end up killing each other while trying to kill him. The easiest incident to describe was when he entered the center stall at a restroom, while two gunmen entered the other two. Clouseau bends over to pick up a dropped roll of toilet paper at the moment the assassins fire, resulting in a Mutual Kill.

Rake Take: While talking with Clouseau in the prologue, Dreyfus steps on one, causing him to fall over in the water... again.

Artistic License – Geography: Dreyfus declares he will make the UN building disappear at 3PM Eastern Standard Time, which would be 9PM in Germany. However, it is broad daylight in both locations.

Take Over the World
 The Pink Panther Strikes Again / int_ec0bf4a1
comment
Take Over the World: Dreyfus' ostensible goal in creating the doomsday device, but the true reason is simply to get Clouseau killed. Though he later tells Fassbender that he considered continuing his reign of terror regardless of whether Clouseau is eliminated.

Dude, Where's My Respect?
 The Pink Panther Strikes Again / int_f818b637
comment
Dude, Where's My Respect?: When Dreyfus attempts to blow up Clouseau in his apartment, he calls him, to ensure he's within the blast radius, and claims he's part of a committee that intends to present him with an award. Clouseau remarks that he wondered why, after nine years of service, he's not been recognized sooner.

Comically Missing the Point
 The Pink Panther Strikes Again / int_fbd285b7
comment
Comically Missing the Point: In the opening, Clouseau tells Dreyfus that he might run for office in a few years. Dreyfus stifles a laugh and says he'll certainly vote for him. Clouseau then replies that, in return, he'll ensure he's released. Dreyfus then does the sign of the cross in a "God help me" sort of way, to which Clouseau just says "yes, I know how you feel."

 The Pink Panther Strikes Again / int_fc225bec
comment
Artistic License – Physics: Dreyfus may have reflected the doomsday LASER off of a satellite,note Something which means that there's a material it can't destroy, because otherwise it would have vaporized the satellite instead of the UN Building because otherwise, the LASER beam fired from Germany would have to be pointed through the Earth to reach the United Nations Building in New York City. This issue is never explained in the film, but this is a comedy after all. Targeting the LASER on England may be more plausible.
