DVD Description
The eighth and last entry in Blake Edwards's long-running series, SON OF THE PINK PANTHER stars Roberto Benigni (LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL) as the illegitimate son of the benighted Inspector Clouseau. Princess Yasmin, a member of the royal family of Lugash, is kidnapped while on vacation in France by terrorist Hans (Robert Davi), who demands a 100 million dollar ransom, and Chief of Police Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) is called in to handle the case. Hans makes the mistake of being involved in a crash with Jacques Gambrelli, the bumbling illegitimate son of Clouseau, who manages to catch sight of the princess. Gambrelli also crashes into Dreyfus, who manifests his familiar Tourette's symptoms after meeting the son of the man who so often pushed him to the brink of insanity. After confirming his identity, the police chief sends Gambrelli on what he hopes will be a suicidal mission to find the princess in Lugash. Begnini is charming as the heir to the legacy of ineptitude.

...'Have you ever seen a panther that is pink? Think!'
The PinkPanther animation started out as a short to precede the PinkPanther films, and is seen on the opening credits of some of the Inspectoe Clousea films. He was proved to be hugely succesful and so a show of his own was commissioned, using the same distinctive theme tune by Henry Mancini.
I have always been a fan of the PinkPanther on telly as long as I can remember, I still remember watching a triple bill of PinkPanther at tea-time on a Saturday afternoon and wishin I had a car like the one the little kid had on the closing credits. So spotting this in HMV for 20 quid I decided that was a small price to pay for over 13 hours of joy. Yes, that's right. This DVD contains every episode of the original PinkPanther cartoons fom the 60's and 70's and they all add up to over 13...

Advantages: Comedy to Stirling ratio Disadvantages: wrangles over 'Return of'..inclusion of 'Trail of"
...5 Panthers caged in one box. Inspector Jacques Clouseau's misadventures as brought to the screen by Blake Edwards and Peter Sellers are available in this lushly packaged but ultimately disappointing 6 disc DVD Boxset.
What do we get for our pink pounds? Well, it all starts off well enough with 1963's 'The PinkPanther', followed by 'A Shot in the Dark' from 1964. Then there is a massive leap to 1976, which thankfully circumnavigates the non-Edwards, non-Sellers 'Inspector Clouseau' from 1968. Sadly though, it also bypasses the 1974 'Return of the PinkPanther', a highlight of the series, and due to ownership and copyright issues, it was unable to be packaged in this collection. So, we are transported instead to 1976 and 'The PinkPanther Strikes Again', then 1978 for 'The Revenge of the PinkPanther', but most shamefully of all we get...
