Sex and nudity in The Pink Panther
Contains moderate suggestive humor and innuendo, all played for comedic effect. In one scene, a woman accidentally straddles Clouseau's face. In another, a pop star attempts to seduce him in her hotel room. There are several verbal gags, including one where a request to see "big, brass bowls" is misheard as "balls," and Clouseau's email is revealed to be "misterknockers@aol.com". No nudity is shown.
Violence and gore in The Pink Panther
Violence is frequent but almost entirely cartoonish and slapstick in nature. However, the plot is driven by two murders: a man is killed with a poison dart early on (we see him collapse), and another is shot in the head (the impact is off-screen, and we later see the body with a chalk outline). Other scenes include extensive slapstick peril, a character being dragged by a car, and a hospital bed rolling out a window into a river, all without graphic injury.
Language in The Pink Panther
Language is light and infrequent. The word "bastard" is used once. Other language includes a couple uses of "hell" and "damn" (the latter often as part of a running gag where Clouseau mispronounces "hamburger"). The slang term "knockers" is used once. According to IMDb user reports, two muffled uses of "f--k you" may be heard.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in The Pink Panther
Substance use is brief and incidental. Adult characters are seen drinking wine at parties and in social settings. In one scene, Clouseau offers a suspect a cigarette. He also attempts to take a Viagra-like pill but loses it down a sink before he can.
Mature themes in The Pink Panther
The central themes involve a murder investigation, professional jealousy, and comical incompetence. The entire story is a whodunit, and characters' motives for murder are explored, though in a lighthearted, non-serious context. Themes of ambition and public humiliation are also present, particularly concerning Chief Inspector Dreyfus.
