It's quite an easy question: which of all the Panthers (I've included the non-Sellers movies for those who want to vote for one of those) has the best ending? My vote goes to Strikes Again, and I think this should have been the ending to the series. Revenge and Strikes Again can be switched around and that would make Strikes the last REAL Panther to me, so this was a perfect ending.

The Return of the Pink Panther with Cato and the fight in th restaurant. the slow-motions scenes are fantastic.

i'm going with Return, as well, though to be honest, the Cato fight isn't what swayed my vote for it... what i was thinking of was the bit where the theif is revealed and Dreyfus goes mad... that scene was fantastic, IMO, and the Cato fight was just the icing on top for me... i mean, that whole last - what was it? 15 minutes? - of the film was amongst the series' very best!  |

I voted for A Shot in the Dark, but it's a close tie between it and The Return of the Pink Panther. Although I love the whole ending with Dreyfus at the asylum in Return, I also love the one with the bomb in the car in Shot, when Dreyfus realizes that Clouseau wasn't involved in the explosion and breaks down crying, telling Clouseau that he hates him while biting him on the leg.  |

I'm the one with TRAIL ending. Sure, not a great film, but the best-of Clouseau clips really make this film worthwile. Its an excellent tribute to a classic, comedy icon. Worthy of Sellers, really.
To Peter... The One and Only Inspector Clouseau.

I went with A Shot in the Dark, because the bit where you find out that Dreyfus is the killer and he starts biting Clouseau's leg is just hilarious! |

RETURN gets my vote as it was the film that most whetted my appetite for the next installment. The original tries hard for a SOME LIKE IT HOT ending quip. A SHOT IN THE DARK and STRIKES AGAIN end fine. INSPECTOR CLOUSEAU doesn't quite work...much like the rest of the film. REVENGE had a rather sweet ending until the restored dialogue on the DVD reissue spoilt things a bit. TRAIL wants to have a great ending, but apart from the Sellers montage, it doesn't work...much like the rest of the film. CURSE has a good ending, but its a case of too little too late. SON tries hard, but comes up short...much like the rest of the film, and PANTHER 2006 doesn't quite work...much like the rest of the film. I know I'm very tough on my favorite series.

actually, i really like the ending to the first film. the costumed chase was great, and then to have the ironic ending to the whole thing was great. just a fun way to end a movie!
