Best scene

Too many to chose from such a brilliant film but here's a small selection.

Interrogating the staff.

The laughing gas scene.

Getting into the castle.

The fight with Cato.

The initial scene between Sellers and Lom.

Michael Robbins in drag.

I think that covers just about the whole movie, actually.

In fact, the only section of the film that drags slightly is the assassination/beer hall scene.

I don't remember, I haven't seen this movie for three years or something, but I'll see it tonight! :)

I agree with DarkSide.. that whole scene is amazing!

And everything that goes on upstairs just so subtle and funny and then he says: "Please, stay where you are...I prefer to handle this EELAOONE!! (alone) [switches to karate chop mode before he enters the reum :-)]

Peter Sellers trully had some transcendent moments!

All of the above, and every other scene. I'm not joking, when I was a student, I nearly died watching this film. I was on the floor, choking and having convulsions, and every wave of panic kept being cancelled out as I recalled lines that had just passed; "I know zat, I know zat" "Mrs Love-lever" "Until we meet again, and the cass is sol-ved"

You stay classy, San Diego.... I'm Ron Burgundy?

The opening fight with Cato is definitely the best scene.

Best scene, no doubt Sellers discovering the gymnasium room ("I was known as the Pavlova of the parallels") then crashing into the living room, getting himself stuck in the knight suit, followed by the "interrogation" of the staff and the demolition of the priceless Steinway ("Not anymore.") Also, realizing he's in a gay bar ("Until you love me... too") and the Russian spy in his bed ("Madam, I can assure you, you will never see these silly pajamas again.").

For me this is the best Pink Panther film. I thought "Shot in the Dark" was, but saw it again recently and it didn't age very well.

One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas I'll never know.
