What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Not an issue.
  • Violence:

    A collection of assassins kill each other, non-explicitly, by accident with silencer bullets, poisoned darts, or their own knives; one character vaporized via death ray.
  • Sex:

    Clouseau visits a gay nightclub and is the subject of a drag queen's ardor. Later a beautiful (all female) secret agent wearing nothing but a fur coat entices him repeatedly into bed, mistakenly believing he's another man with whom she's made love.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Social drinking at a raucous Oktoberfest.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About The Pink Panther Strikes Again

Parents need to know that Clouseau is a real ladies' man -- and a man's man -- in this crazy comedy. The detective is propositioned by a drag performer and a transvestite in a gay night club. Early on a witness thinks Clouseau's performing a homosexual act when he's trying to give Dreyfus artificial respiration. Later a seductive spy has (non-explicit) sex with a man she falsely believes is Clouseau. Infatuated, she tries to get the crime-fighter into bed with her for the rest of the movie.
