Yeah his retarted stupidity drove him off just Homer's ape-like imcompetence drove Grimes nuts which lead to his death. I admit he (Frank) was annoying in that scene to me
+MrWestmarket39 I was thinking the same thing! All that time, all the many times he beat up and tore up his doctor's Clouseau dummy, all the talk and discussions and help to at least mentally place Clouseau in a more tolerable state in his mind...Simply flushed down the drain in *three minutes* because of Clouseau's humorous, yet insufferable at times, stupidity, clumsiness and ineptitude! *THREE MINUTES!* As much as I love Clouseau and his antics, I couldn't help but think "Oh, Clouseau! You just had to go and see him right as he was getting out?!"
One of the funniest scenes ever; Herbert Lom was just as much of a comic genius as Sellers......"Every day better and better" is a line my husband and I still quote from this scene........How the crew ever got through some scenes without completely losing it is beyond me.
"Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better" was originally formulated by Émile Coué. It has actually found use in therapy, so it is tempting to conclude that Dreyfus has been taught this line at the hospital. I haven't seen this movie, though.
@@mikeLgriebel - You're right. Shortly before this, we see Dreyfus with his psychiatrist, saying those words in unison, establishing that it's a line that he's had strongly imprinted in the hospital. You *should* watch the movie, as it's one of the funniest in the series.
No one else could have pulled this off. The maniacal laughter and facial tics especially. I’m still chuckling over this clip. “Ha, Ha, Over the rainbow”
It's easy to see and admire the genius of Sellers but it may, perhaps, blind us to the brilliance of Herbert Lom, a wonderful 'serious' actor who showed an outstanding flair for comedy.
I think without Herbert Lom ,the Pink panther series wouldn't be as Hilarious as it was,I love him,his comic acting is superb,his other work as a serious actor was commendable too,a great actor.
'Pervert, the dirty old men'. I just can't stop laughing. Honestly I don't know how they came up with this. Mr. Lom and Mr. Sellers are a fine couple. You have to love them, lol.
" Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better "... I feel like Herbert Lom's character every day... Suffering a seemingly endless supply of complete idiots... Face it, who hasn't?...
"Inside trivia: Herbert Lom could not swim, so his panic reaction when he's in the water is genuine." - that doesn't follow at all, if you inferred it, it's meaningless
I watched this movie for the first time ever last night. My dad used to watch these movies all the time when I was a kid back in the 80's, and never got the jokes. THIS is absolutely genius, haha.
"Don't look, Fiona!". Priceless. Though I have to say, the laughing gas/tooth extraction from THE PINK PANTHER STRIKES AGAIN is undisputably one of the greatest comedic scenes ever filmed.
" Now, I will kiss you good bye, I will walk you to your car ; which should rightfully be mine !, and then......I WILL KILL YOU ! " hahahahahahahaha Herbert Lom is hysterical !
The falls into the water, the misunderstanding and the expression of the lady, all enthusiastic in seeing what she thought was an act of love 🤣... perfect and unforgettable scene .
Pure genius! They could never pull this off today..What movie could still bring tears of laughter 40 years later? (o.k., Other than What about Bob, 25 years later.)
How long did it take Dreyfus to realize it was Clouseau who sent him in the water the first time? I'm guessing after he hit the water the second time, as Clouseau was there.
He looks up and says, "Someone..." And in that pause, half suspiciously looks at Clouseau, "I was hit on the head..." I think his instincts were trying to tell him in that moment, haha.
Herbert Lom was a really GREAT second banana! He added LOADS AND LOADS OF LAUGHS to these movies! I like the bit where Clouseau (in disguise) plays the part of a dentist, and pulls one of his teeth - the wrong one! Meanwhile, both of them are zonked on laughing gas....
Always loved this scene most of all. The way Dreyfus goes into the water. And the old girl "Pervert !"And this was at the start of the film before even the titles !
This is a really brilliant film. Dreyfuss is as much a fascinating character as Clouseau. I love in the beginning of this film how you see him quickly loose it.
But it is my day it is my friend after three long terrible years it is at last my day, I will not permit repeat not permit anything repeat anything to spoil it.
I get to be Dreyfus in my schools play for the pink panther strikes again, and this is one of my favorite scenes. That, and the TV speech. Dreyfus is a very funny character, and its great to be able to get his part in a play.
As a high school kid I worked at a drive-in theater. We played this movie for two weeks. You have to imagine a summer night with people in 500 cars all laughing at once. It’s weirdly different from people laughing in a theater or auditorium.
This is without a doubt the single, most hilarious comedy scene -- EVER!!! Without exaggeration I must have seen this scene three dozen times, maybe four dozen! I know what's coming, every line! And yet when it happens I laugh out loud, stamp my feet on the floor, and pound my fist into the arm of my recliner. I JUST CAN'T HELP IT! I LOVE THIS MOVIE AND ESPECIALLY THIS SCENE THAT MUCH! 👍😁😁😁🤪🤪🤪😜😜😜
It's an abbreviated version of the scene, but still worth watching. Proof that the old gags still work with the "former Chief Inspector" Dreyfus' "rake in the face"!
Such a shame they cut the clip off before my favourite bit: “But it *is* my day! It is, my friend. After three long, terrible years, it is at last my day! I will not permit- *repeat*, not permit anything- repeat, *anything* to spoil it. Now, I will walk you to the gate. And I will kiss you good bye (*mmk mmk*). And you will drive off in your new car, which should rightfully be mine. And then I will have my interview...with the sanity commission. And they will set me free. And then (*whish-pop*), I will kill you!” (Cue strangulation) -shortly thereafter- “KILL YOU!” “François!” “KILL YOU!” “Start the car!” “KILL! KILL!! KILL YOU!! KILL YOU!! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!! (is apprehended by the staff and dragged away, sobbing, while the car drives away) I want to kill him! (Sobbing gives way to insane laughter) I’m going to kill him! Aheh heh... (notices the doctor in the window)” “...” “(Shrugs with eye twitching)”
I love the part where clouseau is trying to give first aid to former chief inspector dreyfuss, and the lady thinks they are two old perverts fooling around with eachother.
oh, but it is my day my FRIEND.. after 3 long terrible years, it is at LAST my day. I will not permit, repeat, will not permit, ANYTHING to spoil it. Now, i will walk you to the gate. You will drive off in your new car.. which should rightfully be mine. Then i will have my interview with the sanity commision. They will set me free. And then *ploink as arrow hits him in the head*.... i will kill you *proceeds to strangle Clouseau*). Its probably not word perfect, but i remember that scene very well. This whole "introductory scene" to "The Pink Panther Strikes Again" is probably my favourite comedy scene ever :)
No one could have ever had more fun at his craft, than did Herbert Lom! He was wonderful! THE perfect foil for Clouseau! ----------------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o
Still my favorite comedy ever!! This is the best. Disappointed though in a couple of changes. They took out some sound effects that were classic. Like the old ladies handbag. It used to sounds like bricks hitting him on the head. lol.
Who the hell would choose to leave out the setup and payoff of this sequence? Useless upload. Sure, call me a troll if you like. But I will call out people on their halve hearted attempts anytime. Because this is no way to treat an audience. The audience deserves our all. Amen.
I watch the Pink Panther’s all through my childhood. Absolutely wonderful. I’ve always found this scene so so funny. The part where the rake smacks Herbert Lom in the face and he’s back in the water for the 3rd time is just hilarious! Kills me every time …😂
I love this. Have been reading about various CIA attempts during the Kennedy administration to assassinate Castro - called Operation Mongoose - that failed one after the other, to the point where the attempts reached a point of comedic slapstick. They just couldn't kill the guy. Was reminded of Inspector Dreyfus' repeated failures to kill Clouseau, which eventually drove him to the madhouse. Lol.
I agree!! I've watched this a hundred times and I still tear up laughing. If I was a cameraman I would have been fired cause theres no way I could have filmed this. Lol
@clouseau187 Clouseau goes to the insane asylum exactly where he put the lunatic Dreyfus in the first place. And then the rake and so on and drives him crazy again. Clouseau wins again. Amazing. Clouseau is so relax-ed. I might grow a thick trimmed moustache and wear a beige trenchcoat. What do you think?
I remember at 1:08 the sound effect was much better in old VHS-version, when she hits him it makes a huge metal/glass sound and it was much better! Hate it when they tone everything down in newer releases :(
Herbert Lom! His maniacal laugh when he starts losing it is priceless.
The laugh and singing is unbelievable 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hilarious! It took clouseau under 3 minutes to undo months of intense psychiatric recovery
you are a genius for uploading this sir. you have impeccable taste. clouseau is a genius with a thick trimmed mustache. clouseau always wins
Yeah his retarted stupidity drove him off just Homer's ape-like imcompetence drove Grimes nuts which lead to his death. I admit he (Frank) was annoying in that scene to me
It took Clouseau less then 3 minutes to destroy 3 full years of therapy.
That is one for the record books.
3 minutes to completely undo three years psychiatric recovery.

Herbert Lom should have been awarded an Oscar for his role in these.
And/or a Grammy. His Madcap laughter is music, to my ears. Results, may vary.

Scenes with him were integral to the movie and were scenes within scenes.
Pink Panther movies are not complete without Herbert...He is the perfect missing part to t hee series. The icing on the cake I daresay.
I agree 👍
It's easy to see and admire the genius of Sellers but it may, perhaps, blind us to the brilliance of Herbert Lom, a wonderful 'serious' actor who showed an outstanding flair for comedy.
+Michael Culligan You need a good actor who can play the "straight man" as a foil to Clouseau's stupidity, Lom was that actor. Classic films.
I don't think anyone was blinded. He was great.
Agreed, im sure Sellers had high regard for mr Lom.
I think without Herbert Lom ,the Pink panther series wouldn't be as Hilarious as it was,I love him,his comic acting is superb,his other work as a serious actor was commendable too,a great actor.
Indeed - he was a class act.
PURE CLASS.this stuff is a cure for depression.
"Please, there is no need to thank me".... classic.

True comedy is when you know exactly what's going to happen and yet still find it hilarious
Absolutely too funny, I don't care how many times I watch this I laugh till I cry, Clouseau absolute genius
" Now, I will kiss you good bye, I will walk you to your car ; which should rightfully be mine !, and then......I WILL KILL YOU ! " hahahahahahahaha Herbert Lom is hysterical !
"you said bimp" hahahahahaha. The Pink Panther films are hilarious.
These two were Brilliantly funny together. Thanks for the laughs. Still funny so many years later.
Not many Movies have ever made me laugh until I cried. This is one of them. Pure Comedy Gold.

The step on rake joke always is a winner.
Poor Dreyfuss was basically in the insane asylum due to Clouseau. Then Clouseau shows up and knocks him in the water 3 times. Hahaha!!!

I had tears of laughter watching that scene.
Genius! Pure Genius!!!
"Only one man would pull the wrong tooth. It's Clouseau! Huh ha ha ha ha. Kill him ha ha ha ha."
At one point Lom's character develops a pronounced twitch in the left eye in the presence of Clouseau, which I found really funny.
"You can count on my vote"Lol Herbert lom stole the show everytime in these Pink panther films!
Closeau: "Can I help you"
Every one: take defensive position, prepare for the worst.

This is a really brilliant film. Dreyfuss is as much a fascinating character as Clouseau. I love in the beginning of this film how you see him quickly loose it.
Clouseau and Dreyfus are just meant to coexist together. Can’t have one without the other.
Ying and Yang. Two sides of the same coin.
In 5 minutes, Clouseau managed to erase 3-4 years of therapy at the hospital...
"Im afraid this is just not your day, my friend."

Laughing my ass off pure bloody genius shades of laurel and hardy there too
In my opinion, this was the funniest Pink Panther movie of them all, thanks.
While this is hilarious, I can't help but feel genuinely sad for Dreyfus.
In my opinion this is absolutely the funniest gut busting laugh out loud movie ever made!!! It is brilliant in every way!
I get to be Dreyfus in my schools play for the pink panther strikes again, and this is one of my favorite scenes. That, and the TV speech. Dreyfus is a very funny character, and its great to be able to get his part in a play.

Dirty old men.
Thank you for posting
These 2 guys were just great
When he stepped on the rake I cringed and I must have seen this like 50 times
Need to scrap that incredibly loud intro/outro or increase the volume of the clip itself..................
Dreyfus should be in the Rake and Roll Hall Of Fim
The rake shot... 😂😂😂 I lose it every time
As a high school kid I worked at a drive-in theater. We played this movie for two weeks. You have to imagine a summer night with people in 500 cars all laughing at once. It’s weirdly different from people laughing in a theater or auditorium.
How can you cut the sequence off there? It all builds to the point where he gets the suction cup arrow on the head - fantastic writing and acting.
Dreyfus falling off the bench into the water, and immediately after that, the rake...
Hilarious!
This is without a doubt the single, most hilarious comedy scene -- EVER!!!
Without exaggeration I must have seen this scene three dozen times, maybe four dozen! I know what's coming, every line! And yet when it happens I laugh out loud, stamp my feet on the floor, and pound my fist into the arm of my recliner.
