Pink Panther Cast & Crew

[Handrejka 1,903]

 

 

Someone's forgotten the Pink Panther reboot of the mid-2000s, featuring Jason Statham as the manager of the French national football team.

 

 

I have indeed Spade, is that my bad or was it such a stinker that its stinking explains why nobody ever told me to see it?

 

 

The assorted talent that's spread over those films (Kevin Kline, Jean Reno, Emily Mortimer, Kristin Chenoweth, Clive Owen, Beyonce, the aforementioned Statham, Alfred Molina, Jeremy Irons, Lily Tomlin, Andy Garcia, Aishwarya Rai, John Cleese and DL favourites Johnny Halyday and Geoffrey Palmer) means it's usually a winning answer once in every three episodes of Pointless.

 

 

 

I think I've seen that. Is it the one where Clive Owen does a really ill-advised James Bond pastiche?

[Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218]

Looks like the 'Inspector Clouseau' film starring Alan Arkin has also been forgotten, which is no bad thing as it was monsterously shite.

[YoungWillz 20,899]

Best I've seen so far:

 

"The Kwouk and the Dead".

Yep. As much as I enjoy Owen as a "thriller released in February with no Oscar aspirations" performer, comedy isn't his strong point.

Tried watching King Arthur once. Tedious beyond belief turned off after 25 minutes. Doesn't look like Drama is his strong point either.

 

TV actor trying to extend beyond his ability?

Croupier was good. That was only, what, 18 years ago?

He was also married to Sally Kellerman who I always thought was a much better Hotlips Houlihan than Loretta Swit. I didn't know he'd directed Trail and Curse.

I'll just update this thread with the sad passing of Andrew Sachs, who was in Revenge Of The Pink Panther as Hercule Poirot. https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2016/dec/02/andrew-sachs-obituary

The recent death of Herbert Lom set me off wondering who else remains from the Pink Panther movies. Many of the main cast and crew, such as Peter Sellers, David Niven, Capucine and Blake Edwards have long since passed on, but a fair few still remain. Here are a few for starters;

 

Graham Stark (b. 1922)

Burt Kwouk (b. 1930)

Robert Wagner (b. 1930)

Christopher Plummer (b. 1928)

Andre Maranne (b. 1926)

Fran Jeffries (b. 1937)

Claudio Cardinale (b. 1938)

William Peter Blatty (co-wrote screenplay for A Shot In The Dark, b. 1928)

 

Fran Jeffries has died aged 79. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/20/movies/fran-jeffries-an-actress-who-performed-a-sexy-samba-in-the-pink-panther-dies-at-79.html?_r=0

And Plummer

[msc 18,388]

Blatty's still going too, last I checked. Wrote the Exorcist famously, and a novella called Elsewhere. It was originally published in an anthology called 999, and the editor went into full tongue licking mode about how honoured we were to have a story by this chap, so I went into it ready to hate it. Turned out quite good actually, iirc.

 

Also, Andre Maranne has a memorable role (you know it's coming) in a 1960s episode (wait for it...) of Doctor Who ( ) called The Moonbase. Cybermen on the moon, great stuff.

[YoungWillz 20,899]

Liz Smith who has died was in three Pink Panther films. It would have been four, but her scenes were deleted in The Pink Panther Strikes Again!

Andre Maranne died in 1992

[msc 18,388]

No, he didn't, that's an internet error. Maranne was alive as of 2015.

George Gibbs, special effects artist who won Oscars for Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, reportedly dead:

Also worked on two Pink Panther movies, so I'll probably cross post there in a moment. Flash Gordon and The Meaning Of Life as well.

 

IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0316672/

George Gibbs special effects worked on Curse Of The Pink Panther and Trail Of The Pink Panther.

[YoungWillz 20,899]

Just Wagner and Cardinale from the OP left after Andre Maranne's reported death. 

 

Of course there are other films in the franchise, so a bit of life left here.

[YoungWillz 20,899]

Ken Wales, associate producer on Revenge Of The Pink Panther, being reported dead: 

Actor turned producer, mind you hardly heard of any of his acting turns. Also producer on the film The Tamarind Seed and associate producer on TV cop show Cagney And Lacey.
