Disadvantages: It hammers the nails into the coffin of a dead franchise and Steve Martin's comedy career

Advantages: Good slapstick comedy - a bomb (imagine saying in French/French English)
Disadvantages: Should have had titles of films on DVD's

...Starring Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau. This is a nicely presented box set featuring The Pink Panther, A Shot In The Dark, The Pink Panther Strikes Again, Trail of the Pink Panther and 3 hours of special features. Casting Sellers, as Inspector Clouseau was stroke of genius from the casting director. He is almost Frank Spencer like in solving crimes and catching criminals - it is slapstick comedy at its best. He drives his boss to madness, where ever he goes there is sure to be mayhem - even when he goes home, his faithful servant Tato must test his martial arts skills to the limit. There are six DVD's in total, the thing I don't like is there are D numbers on each DVD i.e D1 + D2 + D3 as opposed to the title of the film which is confusing until you have watched each DVD. A worthwhile purchase for any Pink Panther fan.... Read review
