Journalese[edit]

"Sellers was ailing both mentally and physically..." Anybody like to take a stab at what "ailing" means? Can you get an ointment for it? Here we have a double helping, mental and physical. Journalists have so much to answer for... --Stevouk (talk) 15:05, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The helicopter stunt[edit]

In this movie, there's a stunt where a character escapes from a train by grabbing onto the rails of a helicopter and being flown away. At the time, it was considered very impressive, and was done for real by the stuntman. Could someone look into it and add something about it? - Richard Cavell (talk) 06:27, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Phantom[edit]

I understand and respect the desire to minimize lists of trivia, but as numerous other cinematic references are noted in the article, would it be appropriate to mention that the scene (scenes?) where the lunatic Dreyfus is playing a pipe organ reference his turn as the Phantom in the 1962 version of Phantom of the Opera?

The Assisans fates[edit]

1. 1 tries to stab Clouuseau with a switchblade knife but stabs a briefcase instead and then is stabbed with his knife by the stupid CLouuseau
2. 2 tries to shoot Clousseau at the Octoberfest but is impaled by the #3 boot knife
3. 3 tries to stab Clousseau with his boot knife but is shot by #4
4. 4 tries to shoot Cloussau with a sniper rifle but misses and kills # 3
5. 5 tries to shoot Clouusseau in the men lavatory stall but is shot by # 6 due to Clouuseau dropping a roll of toilet paper
6. 6 tries to shoot Clousseau in the men lavatory stall but is shot by # 5 due to Clouuseau dropping a roll of toilet paper
7. 7 tries to stab Clouuseau with poison darts concealed in his {transvestite} trouseau but stabs a giant pretzel instead and falls onto a table {unknown if stabbed by own darts}
8. 8 tries to shoot Clouuseau with a poison crossbow arrow while disguised as William Tell but killed by #9
9. 9 tries to shoot Clouuseau with a blowgun dart disguised in a recorder but kills # 8
10. 10 aka the Egyptian shoots #11 by mistake in CLouseau apartment
11. 11 aka Dreyfus assisian tries to ambush Clouseau in his apartment by disgusing himself as Clouseau but is killed by # 10
12. 12 aka the Russian is seduced by # 10 because # 12 thinks #10 is Clouseau

So of 12 assassinations' 8 are dead 3 shoot the wrong target and 1 is seduced twice.

Relly this should have been the end of the series---especially when Dreyus is "disappeared" but no....

President Ford parody[edit]

The fictionalised version of President Ford in the film is shown as (1) obsessed with football and (2) tripping and falling over as he steps into the Oval Office, the latter presumably being a reference to the much replayed (and much parodied by Chevy Chase) time when he stumbled and fell down the steps of Air Force One. A cultural reference which audiences would have "got" and laughed at the time, but which most people would miss nowadays.

I'm a bit reluctant to waste my time posting this, as somebody will delete it for being "uncited". It might be worth posting if somebody has a third-party commentary to which it can be cited.Paulturtle (talk) 03:02, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
