Why We Rated This for Ages 10–12

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  Douvier's mistress Simone joins forces with Clouseau only because Douvier dumped her, rather than any conscience about being a gangster's girlfriend. When he learns the kind of money he could make running a house of prostitution, Clouseau has to think it over for a moment -- but he remains, as always, on the side of justice, however clumsily.
• Violence:

  A car is riddled with bullets and its occupant killed (out of sight). Slapstick fighting a la Clouseau vs. Cato, and some martial-arts performed with a bit more gravitas. Oh yes, the animated Pink Panther cartoon in the opening credits is of the Tom-and-Jerry variety, with the cartoon Clouseau shot, dynamited, smashed etc.
• Sex:

  A married gangster and his mistress shown in bed together (in pajamas - you think they're husband and wife for most of the movie). A female impersonator behaves affectionately toward Clouseau, resulting in the detective himself being mistaken for some sort of pervert. This theme continues when Clouseau finds his old apartment converted into a kinky brothel, and he's thrown to a whip-wielding dominatrix in a sexy tight outfit.
• Language:

  A character is named `Balls.'
• Consumerism:

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

  Social drinking and references to the heroin business.
