Sellers, absolute pure comic genius - period - I remember as a kid my Dad and I watching this and my Dad was on floor laughing so hard - Sellers was Inspector Clouseau - he absolutely owned this role!!
the music is literally hilarious and makes this so much funnier. god i was crying. its funny because none of his attempts are even that intelligent or planned well. and its so little water he has to cross, and keeps failing, but keeps trying. that is the beauty of Clouseau. he doesn't believe he is incompetent. that is what makes the character
There are two scenes - of a very different kind - that I watch when I want to change my lousy mood: - this scene where Sellers tries to cross the mote to get into the castle; - the Monty Python scene "Nobody ever expects the Spanish Inquisition". Both make me forget that I'm actually in a bad mood. 😂😂😂
20 years ago I saw this first with my brother late in the night on star movies ...I was 15 , he was 10...and we both laughed our heads off when the series played every saturday ...today both of us hold jobs thousands of miles far from each other...but I now have my 5 year old son sitting on my lap, giggling hysterically...daddy play it again ! play it again !
Man, some stuff is just timeless. I saw this when it first came out in the 70s, and I swear, I had to hold on to the armrests in that Cinema to stop myself falling off from laughing. The young 'uns get it too because it's a simple set-up and the rest is just Peter Sellers and his comic timing. All-time classic. :)
6 years later, I read your comment to tell you... this clip is a bonding laughing ritual with my 4 yr old great nephew. He runs into my room demanding I play Pink Panther Castle. Then we sit and laugh and "play it again". It's the best. This has been going on for about a year and a half!
@@rosebud3595 May you enjoy countless more moments with him and keep good health for many more years to come. Today my 5 year old is a little over 10...he has a 7 year old sister too :-) Bonding time however is turning into an increasingly luxurious commodity....
@@lookerseeker79 Thank you so much for your comment and sharing your joy :) May you also enjoy good health, laughter and blessings throughout the years. I sooo related with your comment as little Julian and I giggled with glee! I keep telling him not to grow up too fast. Who knows, maybe he will pass it on?!!
Did you ever see the movie Being There? I think that's what it's called. Brilliant movie. The Party was also a movie that could never be made now, but was one of the funniest movies ever made. Peter Sellers was a genius
@@jimf1964 The Party is great despite the offensiveness of Sellers character. The Great Race is another great movie directed by Blake Edwards and Dr. Strangelove is another great Peter Sellers movie.
Jared Griffiths Yes, as I said, The Party was a hilarious movie. And the offensiveness is in the eye of the beholder. You could just as easily look at it as someone from a totally different culture, totally out of his element, getting into silly situations. It's not as bad as the snowflakes think. I never heard of The great race. I'll look into it.
The brilliant melancholic 70's music started to play in my head before I actually started watching the scene. It really has stuck that well 30-40 years ago!
I have this music on my phone. Whenever my buddy and I work on our hobby car (and he insists on me letting him work alone) I turn this music on and just sit back. He inevitably gets irritated and starts dropping things, banging his head into things, breaking stuff, etc. He doesn't even remember what movie/scene the music is from, his brain just somehow remembers that this music causes a reasonable man to suddenly turn into a complete idiot.
They could call the music "The Idiot's Theme." Clouseau was bullet proof. No enemy could ever harm him in any way - a gift from the capricious Gods. The Gods, however, did let fate play with him from time to time, as you can see here, just to keep him humble.
My mother has been very ill for years. When i was a kid, we used to watch Pink Panther a lot. This scene is one of the very few things that still gets her roaring with laughter.
I always played this music as my kids would roar hilariously recalling Clouseau's vain attempts to cross the moat! Peter Sellers, king of slapstick. May he RIP and continue to make us laugh through the eternities! Can u imagine if heaven is watching and listening to the greatest artists of all genres forever. Pray God it is so!
A failing = JAMES - BOND = so funny !! Even years later !! It remains so funny with that CHINESE GUY !!! The best scene is = DA BALLOON !!! Goes fit !! See him flying trough the sky !!! hahahhahah SWEINEREI !!!
Many top nodge comedy movies have been made since the early silent film days, but this scene is without question in the top 20, featuring classic, deliberately crafted gags any age and culture does understand, with visual comedy based on simple ideas, serious acting skills and marvellous timing+editing, perfectly finished by the score. In fact, it's done more like a cartoon.
The best thing: how is ANY of that supposed to get him into the castle, even if it worked? Still get tears in my eye from laughter when I see this though! Must be my favourite Clouseau scene of all times! And that really means something. Oh, and as genius as Peter Sellers was as Clouseau, so horribly bad was Steve Martin... That Clouseau wasn't even remotely funny.

Εδώ, σε αυτήν την σκηνή, προσπαθεί ανεπιτυχώς να εισέλθει στο κάστρο του παλαβού Dreyfus, - τον οποίο υποδύεται ο Τσέχος ηθοποιός Herbert Lom - ο οποίος θέλει να τον σκοτώσει, προκειμένου να γλυτώσει από τις γκάφες του πρώτου. Αξίζει να σημειωθεί ότι οι παραγωγοί της ταινίας μετά τον θάνατο του Peter Sellers το 1980, προσπάθησαν επανειλημμένως να επανεκκινήσουν την σειρά, χωρίς θετικό αποτέλεσμα. Τελευταία προσπάθεια έγινε το 2006 με τον Αμερικανό Steve Martin στον ρόλο του Επιθεωρητή Jacques Clouseau και τον Καναδό-Αμερικανό σκηνοθέτη Shawn Levy, χωρίς όμως ιδιαίτερη επιτυχία, καθώς άλλο Peter Sellers ως Clouseau και άλλο Blake Edwards από τον Shawn Levy. ↓ The Pink Panther Strikes Again, 1976. → Hilarious scene from the English production film 1976, The Pink Panther Strikes Again, the famous series of movies Pink Panther, directed by Blake Edwards and American music also American Henry Mancini, with British actor Peter Sellers, the role of the Inspector, Jacques Clouseau. Here, in this scene, trying unsuccessfully to enter the castle of whack Dreyfus, - which plays a Czech actor Herbert Lom - who wants to kill him in order to escape from the blunders of the first. It should be noted that the producers of the film after the death of Peter Sellers in 1980, tried repeatedly to restart the series, without positive result.

Gosh, I wish I could see Peter Sellers and Louis de Funès act together, I mean come on, the animeted series Pink Panther showed and Clouseau with and assistant, Funès could be the one. Or better would be, if Sellers would have played a part in the "Joe". Gosh, perfect madness.
This scene is an excellent metaphor for me trying to succeed at life.
You speak for us all!
Same here 🤣
Try to become friends with someone who drives the car into the castle :). Really, networking is 70% of success.
You ain't alone! :D
If you laugh at this then you have succeeded in life.
😊👍😂
I watched this scene at least 200 times. Tears in my eyes every single time.
the music in this absolutely makes the scene!
That and his jewish face
Love it
I agree. It totally adds to the whimsy and charm. Love it.
Just learnt its actually the “Closeau Theme”. Found it on Apple Music :)
Literally LOLing watching this clip 🤣😂
Peter Sellers was a comedy genius!
Sellers, absolute pure comic genius - period - I remember as a kid my Dad and I watching this and my Dad was on floor laughing so hard - Sellers was Inspector Clouseau - he absolutely owned this role!!
This is like watching Wile E. Coyote in a Warner Brothers cartoon.
Excellent observation!
I was waiting for him to try a helmet with a little wheel on it!
Clouseau is endorsed by ACME....
You must watch "The Villian" (Cactus Jack) for a real Warner Brothers cartoon film parody.
Or The Pink Panther.
This clip is the story of my life.
You poor bastard
without this "Theme" this scene is not complete...two fantastic genius persons....Peter Sellers and Henri Mancini....perfect match
Such a hilarious scene. I don't think they could've done any better with the music!
The music is great.

Kind of like Wile E. Coyote...

I remember the theater roaring with laughter when this came out.
That absurd pole vaulting attempt at the end always cracks me up.
The boat part had me gasping for breath
Heck, this had me guffawing just now decades later. Some timeless slapstick work there.
the music is literally hilarious and makes this so much funnier. god i was crying.
its funny because none of his attempts are even that intelligent or planned well. and its so little water he has to cross, and keeps failing, but keeps trying. that is the beauty of Clouseau. he doesn't believe he is incompetent. that is what makes the character
this is just so hilarious! I can't stop laughing :D
Peter Sellers for the win!!
Stands the test of time...RIP Sellers
mood killer
There are two scenes - of a very different kind - that I watch when I want to change my lousy mood:
- this scene where Sellers tries to cross the mote to get into the castle;
- the Monty Python scene "Nobody ever expects the Spanish Inquisition".
Both make me forget that I'm actually in a bad mood.

This scene reminds me of a Coyote and Road Runner and all those other cartoons where the main character won't give up and it is funny.
Amen for that but Cleusole always gets his man. Wyle couldn't catch the Roadrunner

Guard A on the wall: Should we, you know, stop him? Sound the alarm?
Guard B on the wall: Stop him? This is the most fun I've had in months!
Sellers was incredibly amazing. And so was Herbert Lom!!! Clouseau tortured him for 25 years. Haha
He ended up in a mental institution

I need to play that music while being at work. :-D
Remember watching these old Clouseau movies with my dad, we laughed so hard we cried 😆
Same 😂
the music hahahahahahahahahahahah
This scene, where the assassins try to kill him at the festival...and when he and cato fight? pure comedic magic!
I only came here for the music
blue4600 The name of the song is literaly:
The Inspector Clouseau Theme
Syn Sakuraba † Thanks a lot :P
thank you , I was also looking for it :)
The scene was even more hilarious for us, because in his 50s my dad looked almost exactly like Clouseau.
@@GeneralDullness composed by master Henry Mancini!
Extremely well made and I can tell you the laughs received in the theatre lasted well after this scene . One of my favourite pink panther movies.
Now this is called entertaining movie😂😂😂😂😂😂
The writer, the director, the actor, the music....all superb. When it all comes together it's an unequaled classic of Comedy.
I have this music on my phone. Whenever my buddy and I work on our hobby car (and he insists on me letting him work alone) I turn this music on and just sit back. He inevitably gets irritated and starts dropping things, banging his head into things, breaking stuff, etc. He doesn't even remember what movie/scene the music is from, his brain just somehow remembers that this music causes a reasonable man to suddenly turn into a complete idiot.

My mom took me to see this in 76 at the ABC New Street Birmingham. I remember my throat aching from laughing so much!
My parents and I love these movies so much we are inclined to say "swine" every time we hear or see something dumb.
The music in the scenes, or something very similar, was used for a Sunday program on Deutsche Welle.
The best movie scene EVER.... LMAO
Everything about this marvellous scene is pure perfection.It would be a crime to attempt to recreate it.RIP Peter Sellers you were the real deal
"Swine moat..."
you are a genius for uploading this sir. you have impeccable taste. clouseau is a genius with a thick trimmed mustache. clouseau always wins
This feels as if it were lifted straight from a classic Laurel & Hardy routine. Stan Laurel and Peter Sellers were good friends.
My mother has been very ill for years. When i was a kid, we used to watch Pink Panther a lot. This scene is one of the very few things that still gets her roaring with laughter.
Dislikers are Chief Inspector Dreyfus relatives
Watched this with my grandparents last night we nearly died laughing at this 😂 🤣
Awesome, good to see this video now ^_^
Toooo funny!!!!

Eh what a wally. :) Once he was in the water, why didn't he just swim to the other side?
When did Clouseau ever do anything the easy way?!?
OreadNYC Chief Inspector Clouseau!!
So he swims to the other side then what does he do?
Or to make life even easier he could have just waited on dry land in his car until the draw bridge came down again then drove over it.

I adore the music. Perfect for this scene.

This melody playing in this scene is so kinky!
I'm gonna record it & watch my wife ride her motor bunny while its playing.
When Hollywood still made movies worth paying money for to go see them.
And we still had comedic geniuses like Peter Sellers...
Not hollywood tho
@@Mrbimmer11 may not have been filmed in Hollywood but still an American movie
I laughed so hard I nearly fell off my chair. Brilliant!
For the very best in police procedural, we know who is the one and only choice…
When I first saw this, I was genuinely in stitches, my tummy was hurting so much! lol. :D
The look of hope in his face when the rope anchor attaches to the draw bridge....🤣
I know its like I got this now 😂
Perfect actor, perfect direction and perfect music all makes for one of the funniest comedy scenes ever produced.
A failing = JAMES - BOND = so funny !! Even years later !! It remains so funny with that CHINESE GUY !!!
The best scene is = DA BALLOON !!! Goes fit !! See him flying trough the sky !!! hahahhahah
SWEINEREI !!!
The music makes this even more hilarious!!!
Blake Edwards did a Great Job making Pink Panther Movies.
The real comedy genius here is Blake Edwards. He created, wrote and directed all "Panthers" movies. "He's the man".
it's like an episode of Bugs Bunny.
Or The Pink Panther.
They have NEVER been able to make movies like this again...Sellers was the master
Thank you for posting this bit! The music makes me laugh because i remember what happena next in the movie! So funny! Good times...

I like how he saved the dumbest idea for last.
Looks like some of the music is taken out of Handel's Passacaglia from Suite no. 7 in G minor, HWV 432
Such pure, simple, perfect comedy. Does anyone in Hollywood know how to do this, or want to do this any more?
My son took me to the cinema to watch this film on my 48th birthday. I still watch it all these years later
Is Herbert Lom still alive? Both he and Peter Sellers were brilliant actors.
No he died on 27th Sept 2012 in London Age 95.. Sadly Missed.
And he kept his hat on through all this.
I've bought the complete box set 4 times now, friends borrow but never return. Its
either the quality of the films or the quality of my mates!!
How can near 600 people who watch this clip dislike it? Mental illness ?..if you don't like it why do you watch? .
Always remember this scene never laughed so much in my life genius at work
Pink Panther: Castle Calamity.
The best thing: how is ANY of that supposed to get him into the castle, even if it worked?
Still get tears in my eye from laughter when I see this though! Must be my favourite Clouseau scene of all times! And that really means something.
Oh, and as genius as Peter Sellers was as Clouseau, so horribly bad was Steve Martin... That Clouseau wasn't even remotely funny.
Achim Steigert, not even re MOAT ly funny! LOL!
I remember I was off school sick in 2010 this was on day time tv both me and my mum was crying laughing at this scene
Very funny scene, but I think they stole half of it from when Yosemite Sam tries to get into assorted castles of Bugs Bunny.
This is when you play Super Mario bros. trying to reach at the end of level and die at the goal.
Whole movie is great.
But I think the best is the beginning, when Dreyfus escapes from psychiatric clinic :)
Worse than Dragon's Lair
The music in this scene for some reason reminds me of Handel's passacaglia.
You know, Clouseau, you could conceivably just swim across the moat...
+Coral Roper He could have, but who wants to swim across a swine moat? ;)
He does not want to get wet.
Kermode Tv He's not doing a very good job of preventing it, then. :P
Too easy for Chief Inspector Clouseau :)
Isn't that Andre Botot, mustard salesman from Dijon?
How simple humor really is. Age old innocent humor.
That Mancini amazing score was my first impression when I was watching that episode as a child. Brilliant.
