Wow what can i say, i've been a Pink Panther fan for a few years but never really sat and watched a whole film let alone series. So i asked for the box set for my birthday and so it arrived!
I wont bore you going in to details of all of the films but what i can say is Peter Sellers is a genius in his portrail of Inspector clouseau. His ability to invoke laughter, use of language, props and his accent is up there with the best of all time.
Also it comes with the final Pink Panther which was filmed after Peter Sellers died and was made up of outtakes in a kind of tribute to clouseau. I didnt think this film would work but its probably one of the best of the lot. Personally i didnt find the first Pink Panther to interesting because the characters were trying to find their feet.
One final note has to go to Cato, expect him to attack when ever and where ever.
clouseau a martial arts master or not?

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
