Well, it all depends on the definition. Peter Sellers' last film before he died, was The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu which was released in 1980, AFAIK. However, he died during the making of another Pink Panther film, Trail of the Pink Panther. This film was released in 1983. So which was his last film?
