The Blu-Ray Review: The Pink Panther 2

While I don't know if anyone clamored for a relaunch of the Pink Panther films without Peter Sellers, the 2006 flick with Steve Martin found a decent audience. No, its $82 million gross didn't light the box office on fire, but it demonstrated that crowds still liked Inspector Clouseau, even without the character's most popular interpreter.

That box office take also meant a sequel became inevitable - and we got that sequel in early 2009. In The Pink Panther 2, a master thief named The Tornado steals a variety of priceless treasures like the Magna Carta. Inspector Clouseau (Martin) wants to stay in France to protect the Pink Panther diamond, but he receives the order to go to Japan and participate in a "Dream Team" of detectives.
