I want to say it was "Revenge of..." that had Sellers dressed as the pirate 
The Pink Panther (1963) Although intended to begin a series for David Niven, Peter Sellers is so popular, the rest of the series is shaped to follow Clouseau rather than the Phantom/Sir Charles Lytton.
A Shot in the Dark (1964) Released only three months after The Pink Panther, Clouseau returns to bumble his way through a murder investigation. This also marks the first appearance of both Herbert Lom's Dreyfus and Burt Kwouk's Cato.
The Return of the Pink Panther (1975) Not only does this mark the return of the famous "Pink Panther" diamond, but also the successful return of Peter Sellers as Clouseau (along with Edwards, Mancini, Dreyfus, and Cato). Sir Charles Lytton is portrayed by Christopher Plummer.
The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976) Dreyfus' insanity reaches its pinnacle, and he tries to blackmail the rest of the world into killing Clouseau. Clearly successful critically and commercially, though this film arguably causes some major continuity issues for later films.
Revenge of the Pink Panther (1978) Claimed by some as an alternate to Strikes Again as the "follow-up" to Return. Ignoring Strikes Again, this film brings back Dreyfus and pits Clouseau against the French Connection. This is the last film for which Sellers filmed scenes as Clouseau prior to his death.
Thanks BoldHighlander, they were all good movies. In The Return of the Pink Panther,there was one sene where Cato hides inside of Clouseau's refrigerator The refrigerator is way too small to fit a person in which is funny in itself, but lettus and stuff flys out when Cato leaps out. It's those little things that don't make sense or just flash by that I love.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
