The world's most famous diamond. The world's most accident-prone detective. And two very different takes on one of comedy's most iconic franchises.
In this episode of Mart and Trev’s The Deja Review, we follow the trail of the legendary Pink Panther diamond as we compare the classic The Pink Panther, starring Peter Sellers as the unforgettable Inspector Jacques Clouseau, with the modern reboot The Pink Panther, starring Steve Martin.
The 1963 original introduced audiences to the incompetent Inspector Clouseau, whose investigations and slapstick comedy helped create one of cinema's most beloved comedy series. More than forty years later, the 2006 reboot brought Clouseau back with Steve Martin's unique take on the iconic detective, bigger set pieces, modern comedy, and a new mystery to solve.
Mart and Trev break down the mysteries, the famous theme music, and the biggest differences between the two films, asking whether Steve Martin successfully steps into Peter Sellers' oversized shoes or if the original remains untouchable.
Along the way, we also uncover behind-the-scenes stories, surprising casting choices, hidden cameos, and fascinating production trivia that make both versions even more entertaining.
Does the 1963 original still hold up?
Does the 2006 reboot steal the diamond?
Does Trev have a rant?
Does your dog bite? No… but this debate certainly does.
