I vote Shot. Conceptually the closest to the movie form. I miss the accent too much in the first PP.

And Clouseau, just two pages ago, you chose CURSE over 2006 TRAVESTY. Right? not that i know of... Curse has not officially competed against 2006 yet... i chose the 2006 film over Son, and then i chose Curse over the 1968 film... vast difference between 1968 and 2006...

that's interesting, since you ranked ASITD higher than TPP63 in the "Best PP Film" thread... As you've probably noticed, my ratings change daily Curse was ahead of A Shot in the Dark at one point. What was I thinking! But after watching The Pink Panther again, I was thinking that it may not be hillarious but I like the plot, the cast and the music. Even though ASITD is brilliant too.

ASITD is indeed funnier, but I like TPP '63 more. So my vote goes to TPP.

SHOT is objectively speaking the best PP film ever. Not my favorite (STRIKES AGAIN is), but SHOT is a close runner-up. Everything is just in top form, and Sellers has never been a better Clouseau than here.

Sorry I'm a bit late.
The Pink Panther has 2 votes from myself and Brandon but A Shot in the Dark has gone through with 4 votes.
On to Round 6
The Pink Panther (2006)
Vs
Curse of the Pink Panther (1983)

CURSE OF THE PINK PANTHER. By far....
Edwards and Mancini - 'nuff said.
And I'll take Roger Moore (a truly funny actor, and a wonderful personality) as a surgically altered Clouseau over Steve Martin's pretentious and just plain unlikeable Clouseau any day of the week and TWICE on Sunday.

Roger Moore's bit was fantastic, but it's the hour of Ted Wass i can't put up with!

Roger Moore's bit was fantastic, but it's the hour of Ted Wass i can't put up with! Me too, but I also can't put up with Martin's hysterical and unfunny Clouseau - he's literally awful. Plus, you still have Blake Edwards as the writer/director and a Henry Mancini score, which are pretty considerable advantages. Both films aren't that good. But the above, and a real reunion of Niven-Wagner-Capucine is a goof thing. So CURSE for me, all the way...

meh, i'd take Beck's 2006 score over Mancini's Curse score any day, and i think Lom was about out of material by this point in the series... at least Kline's performance brought something fresh for a change, instead of just having him run around winking at everything!

I'm with yoy. Curse is not a bad film. So thats what i'm going to say. PP 06 was good as well but David Niven, Herbert Lom, Burt Kwouk, Robert Wagner and Joana Lumley make it seem like its more connected to the series.

Well it IS connected, Dreyfus. Yet it still, even being the worst of the classic series, this film still vaguely remind of a Pink Panther film, more so than the 2006 TRAVESTY.
And Christopher Beck's score was nothing special. At least Mancini had a theme for Sleigh (great theme), and a great 80's take on the PP Theme. Mancini rules Beck, period.
And I thought Kline was definetely miscast. He should've been Clouseau, and not Dreyfus. As Dreyfus he seems stiff and uninterested, and I have seen many films starring Kline to understand the difference. At least Lom was fun, not that great, but fun...

I dont think Kline woulfd have made a good Closueau even though he is a great actor. I think Martin did a really good job and that Kline did a god job as Dreyus. All the characters from the Pink Panther series are fun. I think Lom was great.
