It all came together in this one, even the beginning was brilliant and one of the best acts in the entire series and noteworthy this one is great start to finish right down to final scene no filler crap in this one unlike others.
It starts with Lom's character Dreyfus which is at its peak here and it really helps elevate this one, a joy to watch him and go to the extremes he does. Same goes for Cato and the attacks, these are just awesome fun and at a whole different level here compared to prior outings, and thus much more enjoyable! Clouseau is such a cruel and ruthless bastard when it comes to his poor friend Cato its hilarious and great writing here!
Dare I say Clouseau himself was now more refined here also, many standout scenes but some favs here are: the Hunchback scene (notable also the disguises were at another level here), him trying to get into the Castle in hilarious ways, "does your daog bite" (the thick accent and the scene are great), he screws up many of the people's names in funny ways, the numerous assassins that come after him and priceless here the dentist bit with the anesthesia.
Clouseau once again proves in hilarious ways no one can accidentally foil bad guys like him and he is next to impossible to kill. The slapstick here was not quite as telegraphed as prior shows so it comes out better here. Overall just a great flick 7.5/10.
