Roberto Benigni, Herbert Lom, Claudia Cardinale

The eighth and last entry in Blake Edwards's long-running series, SON OF THE PINK PANTHER stars Roberto Benigni (LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL) as the illegitimate son of the benighted Inspector Clouseau. Princes...( read more  read more... )s Yasmin, a member of the royal family of Lugash, is kidnapped while on vacation in France by terrorist Hans (Robert Davi), who demands a $100 million ransom, and Chief of Police Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) is called in to handle the case. Hans makes the mistake of being involved in a crash with Jacques Gambrelli, the bumbling illegitimate son of Clouseau, who manages to catch sight of the princess. Gambrelli also crashes into Dreyfus, who manifests his familiar Tourette's symptoms after meeting the son of the man who so often pushed him to the brink of insanity. After confirming his identity, the police chief sends Gambrelli on what he hopes will be a suicidal mission to find the princess in Lugash. Begnini is charming as the heir to the legacy of ineptitude.

    Ten years after Peter Sellers died, Blake Edwards feels the need to make another sequel that is both tactless and unfunny.

    An Arabian princess is kidnapped, and it's up to Chief Inspector Dreyfus to save her. Fortunately, there's no Clouseau around to plague him this time! But when a klutzy local cop with the unfortunate name of Jacques is assigned to help him, he manages to run Dreyfus over and blow...( read more) him up - all on his first day on the job. Soon Dreyfus begins to fear that if Clouseau has a long lost son, he would be a lot like this!

    stars Roberto Benigni, Herbert Lom, Burt Kwouk, Claudia Cardinale, Shabana Azmi, Debrah Farentino, Jennifer Edwards, Robert Davi and Anton Rodgers.

    directed by Blake Edwards.

    Run out of clips of Peter Sellers that we can use? Don't worry we'll get that Italian Jim Carrey to fall about while dressed as Inspector Clouseau and no one will notice the difference.
