Mr. Chung didn't stand a chance I'm afraid... he never even knew what hit him. As Chief Inspector Dreyfuss once lamented "Compared to Clouseau, Attila the Hun was a Red Cross worker".
@@digitricks Poor Dreyfuss! But he was rewarded with some of the funniest lines in film history. Along with the "Attila the Hun" and "water pistol" cracks, he also, when a colleague, confused by his animosity toward Clouseau, says "But isn't he the best detective in France?" looks incredulously and bellows "Best? BEST? He's the worst! He's the WORST EVER! Give me 10 men like Clouseau and I could DESTROY the WORLD!" and when told that Clouseau had tailed the "Phantom" to a luxurious ski resort in the mountains, Dreyfuss laments wistfully "Ahh, Lugash, today a paradise in the Alps; tomorrow...a WASTELAND!" Of course played to perfection by the great Herbert Lom. No one else could infuse such solemn, sober dignity into such a gibbeting, twitching lunatic. The Panther films were fun to watch, even as the series morphed from ribald yet pretty low key bedroom farce to over the top, outrageously zany slapstick. The duo of Clouseau and Dreyfuss, but truthfully, Sellers and Lom, always delivered the goods.
schizoidboy at first i was wandering how was he going to save himself from dangerous villian and when i find it instead of getting worried i laughing lol😹😹😹😹
@@funentertaintment6065 It's what makes it funny. If you've seen The Pink Panther Strikes Again you'll have heard the part where Dreyfus tells why his own assassins could never get Clouseau, because of his idiocy. If anyone could get Clouseau it wouldn't be an assassin it would be Cato.
Only Inspector Dreyfus knew the truth. In the Pink Panther Strikes Again he tells his henchmen, some of whom happen to be the best hitmen in Europe, they wouldn't stand a chance. "He can't be that good." "He's not good he's terrible; there's no man like him in the world, compared to Clouseau that thing [the doom's day ray] is just a water pistol..."
Just wanted to give credit to Blake Edwards. Although he's not the most technically gifted or a stickler for details or a highly disciplined film auteur, let's be honest The guy created more than his share of the goddamned funniest moments ever put on film. More than a few times his work had me gasping for breath , clutching my gut and crying, not from pain, but laughter. Maybe not genius, but something as close as you can get to it. But, then again,maybe genius..
The poor Mr Chong the assasin isn't going to know what hit him. Clouseau is a complete idiot but at the same time a genius. He manages to destroy two buildings with one hit. THen Cato lurks underneath and saws a hole through the floor. Slapstick does not get any better than that. Clouseau always wins.
@@Ferr1963 Well, that explains the failure of Barbarossa among other things. Hey wait, didn't they fail in their attempt to assassinate the Fuhrer? I see some similarities here especially if you remember how Sellers looked holding a match in the dark during a scene from Pink Panther Strikes back.
Truly the funniest movies of all time. My parents and I would piss ourselves silly with laughter every time they came on. God bless Peter Sellers and Blake Edwards. They sure knew how to make us laugh.
Mr. Chung was played by Mr. Ed Parker a 10th degree black belt in kenpo karate. Who was known as father of American karate and discovered a young Bruce Lee. He was also Elvis Presley's karate teacher.
Moments like this vindicated Dreyfus' statement - "Ha, he's not good, he's terrible; he's the worst. There's not another man like him anywhere in the world. Compared to Clouseau this doomsday machine, it's just a mere water pistol."
1:52 "I'm trying to save my life madam!" Simply funny as shit - Peter Sellers a fucking comedy legend. I love when the guy goes through like 4 floors at 3:22!
Great cilia's When I was maybe 8 years old ... I'd scan the TV guide and be allowed to wake up to watch late night "Pink Panther" .. my favourite!! ... Then the TV broke down and my parents did not get another one until I was 18 and moved out on my own! :)
Cato sure was fortunate it wasn't him who took that particular blow. If it killed off that assassin it certainly would have done Cato in as well (and part of the humor that isn't lost on me here is that Clouseau thought it was him and obviously wasn't concerned). And then we would've missed out on getting to see him spar with Clouseau some more. Those were always my favorite scenes from these films.
In every field of life there are some human beings who leave us with their contribution to our life in ways that can never be measured. You just have to be grateful that they spent time with us humans. Peter Sellers is one of those humans who hunanity will be thankful for.
Wasn't the Assassin one of Elvis Presley's bodyguard? In one of the videos showing Elvis prior to going on stage, I believe this gentleman is standing behind him.
After i heard he chucked a drink in his daughters face because of a joke comment and refused to ever see her again ive totally gone off him ....such a shame because as a kid i absolutely loved these films
Does Hayden Panettiere enjoy a little Comedy with Hayden Panettiere's Romance? I Love "Four Play" before and after Romance and I Enjoy thinking about you Heavenly Pleasures Hayden Panettiere from the Time I wake ^UP" until I fall asleep Every Day and Nights in Nights in White Satin Sheets • " Heavenly Pleasures Hayden Panettiere " " I'll Always Love you Hayden Panettiere " " Faithfully Forever " ~ Neal
All things considered the only one who can get close enough to theoretically kill Inspector Clouseau is Kato. He's the only who can get the better of him.
Only in a movie,,only in a movie! to dispatch Kenpo founder/master Ed Parker with his Grandmaster skills in Kenpo,is only done in movies! this man was the best,and in reality, if he wanted to,he had the deadly and lethal skills to make a really Bad Ninja! he got a chance to show his stuff as a Ninja,in 1979's "KILL THE GOLDEN GOOSE",where he fought Hapkiddo master Bong Soo Han,another Martial Arts legend!
Gay Paree is another example of restrictive zoning and rent control. There hasn't been a new residential building built in the picturesque center city since the 1800's. Those are the same apartments you see in the olde impressionist paintings. So they might be a bit rickety.
