Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) finally goes off the deep end, and builds a doomsday device in order to kill one man- Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Peter Seller). This may be one of the silliest films ever made, with hit-and-miss gags, but you can see where the inspiration for Mike Myers' Austin Powers series comes from. Weak special effects do not help, although a Tom Jones song has never been used in a funnier manner. Followed by "Revenge of the Pink Panther."
