Film | Year | Notes |
---|---|---|
The Pink Panther | 1963 | Although intended to begin a series for David Niven, Peter Sellers was so popular that the rest of the series would be shaped to follow Clouseau rather than the Phantom/Sir Charles Lytton. |
A Shot in the Dark | 1964 | Released only three months after The Pink Panther, Clouseau returns to bumble his way through a murder investigation. This also marks the first appearance of both Herbert Lom's Dreyfus andBurt Kwouk's Cato. |
Inspector Clouseau | 1968 | This film stars Alan Arkin as Clouseau, and does not have any of the standard characters (Dreyfus, Cato, the Phantom, etc.) from the rest of the series. Although produced by the Mirisch Corporation, Blake Edwards and Henry Mancini were not involved in the making of this film. |
The Return of the Pink Panther | 1975 | Not only does this mark the return of the famous "Pink Panther" diamond, but also the successful return of Peter Sellers as Clouseau (along with Edwards, Mancini, Dreyfus, and Cato). Sir Charles Lytton is portrayed by Christopher Plummer. |
The Pink Panther Strikes Again | 1976 | Dreyfus' insanity reaches a pinnacle, as he tries to blackmail the rest of the world into killing Clouseau. Clearly successful both critically and commercially, but this film arguably causes some major continuity issues for later films. |
Revenge of the Pink Panther | 1978 | Seen by some as an alternative to Strikes Again as the "follow-up" to Return. Ignoring Strikes Again, this film brings back Dreyfus and pits Clouseau against the French Connection. This is the last film for which Sellers played Clouseau; he died shortly after its completion. |
Trail of the Pink Panther | 1982 | Features Peter Sellers as Clouseau using unused material from Strikes Again, this was intended as a tribute to Sellers, but after its release, Sellers' widow Lynne Frederick successfully sued Edwards and the studio for tarnishing her late husband's memory. David Niven and Capucine reappear in reprises of their original roles. |
Curse of the Pink Panther | 1983 | Inspector Clouseau and The Pink Panther diamond, both of which had gone missing in Trail, are hunted down by the bumbling American detective, Clifton Sleigh (Ted Wass). Clouseau returns in a cameo by an uncredited Roger Moore after having plastic surgery to change his identity. Although intended to spawn a new series of misadventures for Sergeant Sleigh, the film's dismal box office performance and critical drubbing led to a Panther hibernation for the next decade. |
Son of the Pink Panther | 1993 | Roberto Benigni tries to revive the series by portraying Gendarme Jacques Gambrelli, Inspector Clouseau's illegitimate son by Maria Gambrelli (the murder suspect from A Shot in the Dark). Once again, many former Panther co-stars return. Although originally intended to relaunch the series with a new lovable bumbling hero, "Son" becomes the final episode of Blake Edwards' original Panther series. |
The Pink Panther | 2006 | This relaunches a new Pink Panther series starring Steve Martin as Inspector Clouseau and Kevin Kline as Chief Inspector Dreyfus. Not a remake of the original film, this forms a new starting point for a contemporary series, introducing the Clouseau and Dreyfus characters along with the famous diamond to a new generation. |
The Pink Panther 2 | 2009 | The sequel to Steve Martin's Pink Panther film. Martin reprises his role, but John Cleese replaces Kevin Kline as Chief Inspector Dreyfus. |
