Movie review - Panther#9 - "Son of the Pink Panther" (1993) **

 Blake Edwards tries again this time with Roberto Begnini who actually isn't bad. The repeats of Herbert Lom and Burt Kwok maybe hinder him more than help as does an uninspired plot with Robert Davi kidnapping a princess. This is terrorism-y and doesn't feel inherently Pink Panther.

Nice to see Claudia Cardinale, I guess. The film isn't bad as a Begnini vehicle. As a Pink Panther movie it's uninspired. Tired storyline. Feels very European - there's no English or American characters. Davi feels miscast.
