I remember watching this movie with my dad when I was a kid. We laughed so much, it was clean good fun and created long lasting memories. Peter Sellers was a genius comic. Miss you pops - hope you are still smiling in Heaven.
The remakes were OK but can only be disappointing compared to Sellers. Also technically he's not the Pink Panther, its really the Diamond that is the Pink Panther but it ended up just being associated with Clouseau but it wasn't intentional.
Knowing how many difficulties Sellers experienced with his mental health alongside his constant clashes with Edwards it’s nice to see these, they were still able to have a laugh and enjoy themselves at work.
"That's a priceless Steinway!!" - "Not anymourre..." 😂😂 One of the best comedy actors of all times. Imagine if Peter Sellers and Robin Williams ever made a movie together....
The last part when he is imitating Michael Caine doing an audition he has the nuances down perfectly. If Sellers had done a movie of a man that thinks he is Michael Caine and really exaggerated Michael's mannerisms that would have been hilarious.
How any of them managed to keep a straight face and not crack up laughing during filming is nothing short of a miracle. I had forgotten Michael Robbins was in this and a Minder episode once. Glad to see they had fun during their work. Makes all the difference.
How did they ever get through a whole scene without laughing? :D And how on earth could Peter Sellers be so consistent in repeating his actions as Closeau? Fantastic!
Watching this in the theater when it first came out was the best for me. I was eight years old and laughed so hard with my mom there with me. Good memories.
Holy...fucking...shit...WHERE oh WHERE did you find this solid gold of a treasure trove? I can't believe I'm actually seeing a real, bona fide Panther outtake reel, from the best one no less! Thank you so much for making this available!
These out takes and bloopers are class, Peter Sellers was so funny and hysterical in them, they must be the best ever of any Film or TV Show they are Compulsive Viewing i just have to watch them over and over again😂🤣
PPSA had the best and funniest of all the Clouseau-vs-Kato fight scenes they ever did. When it cuts to slo-mo, especially, god, I just die with laughter. It's easily the best of all the Pink Panther movies ever made. The whole Oktoberfest bit, where he cluelessly avoids getting assassinated by the world's greatest assassins was brilliant. It took me years to finally realize that Dreyfus was playing "Tiptoe Through The Tulips" on his organ when he winked out of existence (?) after getting zapped by his Death Ray. And that dismount from the parallel bars down that flight of stairs had me howling: "That felt good!" LOL And Dreyfus stepping on the rake -- FFFWHACKKK!!! Ah, Jesus! And, good gravy, wasn't Lesley Ann Down the sexiest woman on the big screen back in the '70s?
I often wondered how on earth they managed to complete any pink panther movie with seller's bloopers . Absolutely hilarious to watch . Seller's at his best and a British comedian the likes we will never see again .
@@gerardhiggins4827 I felt exhausted after but so much better. All the worries seem smaller for a good laugh 😂 and no one laughs quite like Peter Sellers!
I remember seeing this film during its first run when I was in high school in 1976. Lesley-Anne Down gave me, as we used to say back then, a rise in my Levi’s.
Inspector Drummond totally remembers the fake name Closeau gave him, and Closeau totally destroys and bungles Inspector Drummonds name and is totally clueless. Classic.
The scene where Sellers floats out the window and is on the phone and the reaction on his face when he looks down had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe!!😂😂😂
Parents drug me along to a conference in 1977. I was 7 and had nothing to do in the hotel but watch TV. It was the first time I saw the Pink Panther and Dukes of Hazard. THAT was a good trip ❤
Great to see Peter all giggly. It's not uncommon though for an actor playing a serious character (Clouseau was always serious) to tend to break up more than usual thanks to the pent up laughs. Leonard Nimoy had the same problem with Spock.
This is great! I love the Pink Panther/Inspector Clouseau movies. Peter Sellers is great. The Pink Panther Strikes Again is the best of the series. Some footage was later use in Trail Of The Pink Panther.
I can only imagine how insanely hard should´ve been to work with a comedian genius like Peter, every time he created his magic it should´ve been a torture to contain yourself to not explode laughing and ruin the take.
Interesting that in that scene, I believe she buries Sellers' head inside her fur coat. The call out in this clip is "Take 9". Do you think Sellers might have purposefully fluffed, in order to get several chances at that 'fur coat' moment?
God i wish they made movies like this now ! Belly laugh so much i nearly choked . . . Rip sellers such a master he was. The scene in the castle pulling drew fuss teeth out lol lol lol. Watch these if you are low or struggling with anything in life . .
Talk show interviews with Peter Sellers are some of the best interviews I've seen. He's funny, tells great stories, and does impressions - a very talented guy
The struggles of a smart intelligent and very rational man having to be absolutely silly for a living to entertain us and totally failing not to laugh at what he’s expected to do 😂
" Mr stuffsucker" must be one of the funniest lines in comedy film history. To be fair it was a difficult name to pronounce ,, Mr stutterstut I think it was, but brilliant stuff.
How did they ever complete any of these films? Each take is slightly different and funny on it's own, I would never stop laughing/giggling. Hell, even just his voice when he gets the line correct is hilarious.
Sellers received a lot of praise and deservedly so, for his depiction of the hapless Gallic inspector, but Herbert Lom as Dreyfus was no less deserving. His speech at Clouseau’s “funeral” is comedic genius.
Interesting and very funny compilation, thanks for posting this! I noticed this in another PP blooper reel, there are some scenes that were obviously never used in the final film.
Thanks so much for uploading these remarkable clips Jeff... Peter had an awful lot of issues... and it was a wonder they got through the shoot... But when he corpsed that was it... The scene with Liz Smith's fake nose is terrific. It would drive some actors and directors into issues on set not realising his huge scope. That's why he'd only work with certain other actors, directors and producers they had to understand he could go off the rails at any point
The tartan/plaid tweed business suit Clouseau is wearing in the first Sûreté office scene indicates that the scene of him lighting the waste bin on fire and putting it out with the fire sprinklers ("Nice weather we are having...") that appeared in _Trail_ was intended for _Strikes Again._ Except, the newspaper headlines from this film about Dreyfus being slated for his hearing were changed via inserts and pickups of Dreyfus and Francois about the Pink Panther diamond going missing for _Trail._
_The Pink Panther Strikes Again_ was originally going to be a three-hour epic in the vein of _It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World,_ but wiser heads prevailed and a good half hour was cut from the movie. Every scrap of that cut stuff was used to fake a new appearance by Sellers in 1982's _Trail Of The Pink Panther._ I believe the first 70s Panther flick was at first intended to be the pilot of a lavish TV series, too.
Think the original cut was actually only 2 hours, not 3. I could be wrong, but based on a few things I believe its more likely there never actually was a 3 hour cut, it was actually only 2 hours all along. I heard someone did a fanedit that took the Trail footage and inserted it back into Strikes Again, totaling at only around 2 hours. I myself experimented with that and got the exact same results. Although it is easily possible there's still an entire hour worth of stuff that's never been seen, it does beg the question why more of it wasn't used in Trail. 1 hour and 20 minutes is mostly an entire other movie after all. They could've easily made use of far more than just 20 minutes (which is the total amount of footage used in Trail) And even if there was indeed a 3 hour version, why has it never seen the light of day at all after so many decades as some kind of special edition or director's cut or something? It is possible that Strikes Again was CONCIEVED as a 3 hour movie, but ultimately they only filmed and edited a 2 hour version and that perhaps is where the confusion comes from that some people think the actual edit was 3 hours when it was actually only 2. Add to the fact also these bloopers would probably have even more or even include scenes that haven't been seen in either Strikes or Trail. I would like to think that MAYBE there is a 3 hour cut that's never surfaced, but its seeming more likely there never actually was one. Only 2 hours which fanedits are able to make. One can hope maybe one day I'm proved wrong though. I would like to be wrong.
The one that grabbed me by I freaked out ... Because being a fan of John Cassavates films... When I first saw these bloopers and I heard that Stark was stoned from what they actually put into his prop pipe. I was totally caught off guard when Sellers stand with his back to the camera.... And went completely American he didn't sound like Cassavetes.... But it was like a bland American accent. And he says it in this... He just freaked Stark out by saying... Hello my name is John Cassavates and I'm interested in motor noise... And I was like what did Sellers just come out with that... And I died laughing because I kind of saw the in joke with the bland voice the accent and like this vision that the director John Cassavates is like a form of engine noise I can't explain it .. Ah The Killers 1964 ....
I remember watching this movie with my dad when I was a kid. We laughed so much, it was clean good fun and created long lasting memories. Peter Sellers was a genius comic. Miss you pops - hope you are still smiling in Heaven.
Same memories here. My late father laughed so hard he was in tears. I watch these clips fondly.
@@glennchambers2220Must be a dad thing, mine did too, along with Benny Hill and Mel Brooks movies, thanks pops
Yeah me as well. Lovely memories
Same here. Now I'm sharing these classics with 8 year old son. Seeing him laugh with delight and ask me to replay bits over and over is such a joy.
ditto
I'll never understand why they remade these masterpieces of comedy with Steve Martin. Nobody can top Sellers as Pink.
Clouseau
Don't watch them. I never have and never will
I love Steve Martin but he wasn’t funny. Great to see Sellers having fun on set.
For the money, that’s why.
The remakes were OK but can only be disappointing compared to Sellers. Also technically he's not the Pink Panther, its really the Diamond that is the Pink Panther but it ended up just being associated with Clouseau but it wasn't intentional.
I'm glad they kept these and didn't stop rolling the nanosecond the director yelled cut.
Knowing how many difficulties Sellers experienced with his mental health alongside his constant clashes with Edwards it’s nice to see these, they were still able to have a laugh and enjoy themselves at work.
He was an ass.
Clashes?
Laughed to tears all the way through that. Some of my all time favorite comedy movies. Seeing Sellers laugh about Clouseau is priceless.
lol me too. How did they ever get their stuff completed 😅
The bloopers are just as amusing as the movie it self...
The Pink Panther and Peter Sellers are just Comedy Gold!
Lesley-Anne Down. Absolutely stunning.
Just thinking the same thing
I would intentionally mess up my line
@@davidgalea6113 Take 69

Peter Sellers and Herbert Lom together were 2 of the funniest guys I've ever seen! Laughed my a** off watching these clips!

"That's a priceless Steinway!!"

One of the best comedy actors of all times.

Unreal i know. I feel the same watching this. Haven’t never seen this is like a gold mine! So great!
The Edwards estate has hours of these out takes from all of the films. Blake Edwards kept all outtakes
how many times did poor francois get his head slammed in the desk 😂😂
Seven (-ish). That we saw. How many more times before they finally got it right? LOL!
This movie almost killed me when I watched it for the first time. Nearly choked on laughter... Epic!
These out takes and bloopers are class, Peter Sellers was so funny and hysterical in them, they must be the best ever of any Film or TV Show they are Compulsive Viewing i just have to watch them over and over again😂🤣
Can you imagine being on the Panther set with the Genius and being able not to laugh... a torture! 😂😂😂😂
What's amazing is that even in the bloopers there are some genuine Inspector Clouseau moments - the pipe and the chair for instance - legendary stuff
Dreyfuss steppin on the rake had me helpless with laughter.

This synopsis is brilliant and you took the words right out of my mouth. I couldn't agree more sir. Thank you for your comments. I admire your taste.
You brilliantly took the words right out of my mouth. Well said!!!!!!
Yes and the whole tooth pulling scene
My dad's friend was Peter Sellers stunt double Joe Dunne, passed away not so long ago.
what a guy,so sorely missed
I would live 1976 over and over..live every day like your last you won’t be disappointed..and have gratitude..
Some of the most iconic scenes in film comedy!
I often wondered how on earth they managed to complete any pink panther movie with seller's bloopers . Absolutely hilarious to watch . Seller's at his best and a British comedian the likes we will never see again .
During the clips with Francois, the funniest thing is watching Seller desperately trying to propose himself just before he pulls Francois's tie 🤣
This makes me laugh even more than the original film!!! 😀 👍
So nice to see these from my favorite PP film. It's amazing they ever completed any of them with Sellers cracking up at the drop of a hat!
How they ever finished a film with

Looking good in June 1976. Peter's heart medications really finished him off 1977-1980.
