Chong' an uncredited appearance by the founder of American Kenpo , Ed Parker is thwarted when Clouseau successfully fights him off believing him to be Clouseau's valet Cato Burt Kwouk , who has orders to keep his employer alert with random attacks.

Douvier tries again by posing as an informant to lure Clouseau into a trap, but the Chief Inspector's car and clothes are stolen by transvestite criminal Claude Russo Sue Lloyd , who is unknowingly killed by Douvier's men instead.

Subsequently, Douvier and the French public believe Clouseau is dead; as a result of this assumption, Clouseau's ex-boss, former Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus Herbert Lom , is restored to sanity and is released from the lunatic asylum to perform the investigation despite having committed several major crimes and then seemingly disintegrated in the previous film.

View All Critic Reviews Nov 17, This was another solid entry in the franchise but, to me, it is also the weakest.

This is a franchise that you can't really do much with the established formula, so you can tell that this one was probably the least inspired of all the movies in the franchise.
