Just when you thought Steve Martin was done doing movies..... he comes back with a sequel, the movie was predictable but funny in parts. The movie would be more of a rental than go see in the movie theater. The plot is stupid, and very predictable, but then again what are you expecting when you go and see the movie. I expected to go and laugh and I did. Funny movie, but hold on till it hits video. Anyone else see it? Whats Next another Airplane??
Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Steve Martin) the legendary French Officer of the Law, who single-handedly saved the priceless Pink Panther Diamond, has been working outside the museum where the diamond is on display writing parking tickets for the last 6 months. Chief Inspector Dreyfus (John Cleese) assigned this duty to his bumbling and inept police officer to get him out of his hair. Recently, treasures from around the world have been stolen by the Tornado, and an international dream team of detectives is being assembled to capture him. Chief Inspector Dreyfus is ordered to assign Clouseau to the dream team. As soon as Clouseau joins the team, the Pink Panther Diamond is stolen by the Tornado. Now Clouseau must not only capture the Tornado, but save the diamond again.
I hope Steve Martin is ashamed of himself, he destroyed the image of, 'The Pink Panther,' in my eyes. The only true Chief Inspector Clouseau is Peter Sellers.

I do agree with you lot, Peter Sellars was king.
There were some shocking and absolutely awful non-Sellar sequels in the 80s. Blake Edwards should be really ashamed of himself.
However I did enjoy Steve Martins movie. At least there you have an established comedian taking centre stage.
All the same, Pink Panther was Peter Sellars vehicle. I am getting just a bit sick of the constant remakes at the moment. Does anyone in Hollywood have an original idea?

Steve Martin was paid a ridiculous amount of money in advance (rep to person who can find the dollar amount) to make three Pink Panther movies so it makes sense the studio would put out another one.
The new ones aren't great when compared directly to the originals but they are at least worth a look.

I don't know exact figures, but I'm betting he's not worried about the Credit Crunch.

I haven't really enjoyed a whole lot of Steve Martin's stuff since SNL. Dude was just hilarious back in the day but lately I haven't found him to be the least bit funny. As far as PP2 goes, it looked like it had a lot of the same jokes from the first one with Martin in it, which was decent at best.
