Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Pink Panther Rocks!
Review: I love the Pink Panther so much that I buy the DVD even if the DVD is horrible. I love the movie too much.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Artisan does it again
Review: Artisan has released yet another low quality DVD of a classic movie. Regardless of your feelings about Seller and the "Panther" series, this one is to be avoided, based solely on a non-anomorphic picture with the quality of an EP-recorded VHS tape and sound with a continual hiss throughout.

Hopefully the original studio will see fit to give this movie a decent transfer in the future.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great movie, aweful DVD
Review: Enough has been said about the merits of the movie. But beware, the DVD is of extremely low quality. Looks worse than a VCD pirate and far worse than the VHS, which I also have.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: To complete your Pink Panther Collection...
Review: I have not purchased this DVD yet, but I plan to. It is the only Pink Panther movie not included in the Region 2 Pink Panther Box Set (available from amazon.co.uk as of 10 November 03). So, if you can play both Region 1 and Region 2 DVDs, and you want to have all of the movies, you will need to buy this in addition to the set. I have not found a Region 2 version of this movie, so this appears to be the only DVD for this title available at this time. I like this movie, and my rating is based on the movie itself - not anything technical about the DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Do You Have Rmmmm in Your DVD Collection?
Review: One forgets how good and uniquely funny this series was. Recently a friend at a party starting talking like Sellers and reminded all of us of this Panther series.

Easily the favorite for me, this is simply a stitch from the outset.

Sellers is great. Supporting cast is excellent, especially Plummer.

So many good scenes. Phone repair, The Chief's psychosis with pistol cigarette lighter.

All in all one of the best humor movies ever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Funny
Review: A classic from a comic genius. Sellers is superb.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: DVD Picture Quality - TERRIBLE!
Review: No question, if you are a Peter Sellers fan this movie is a must-have. But why such a lousy transfer to DVD. My laserdiscs of "Shot in the Dark" and "The Pink Panther Stirkes Again" were much better. Now I'm completely gun-shy about buying these DVD's until someone improves their quality.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pure silliness!
Review: "The Return of the Pink Panther" is among the funniest and silliest. Peter Sellers as Clouseau does some of the most craziest things. Getting his bag stuck in the revolving door, ang going all aorund trying to get it when it's finally in the next opening and he reaches over trying to get it and gets stuck in-between the doors! Go ahead and enjoy this one, even though MGM/UA decided not to release this one.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A fun comedy, but a mediocre DVD
Review: I've always liked this movie, ever since I first saw it on cable TV back around 1976. I was looking forward to seeing it again, but this DVD is not a very good edition. Rather than a proper widescreen (anamorphic) image, they've simply shrunken the image to fit into a standard 4:3 image, leaving lots of wasted scan lines at the top and bottom. This was the only way to do widescreen in VHS, but DVDs can do much better. On a 16:9 TV, an anamorphic image will take up the full width of the screen, while this sort of lame transfer will appear as a little box in the middle. Meanwhile, on a good modern 4:3 TV such as a Sony WEGA XBR, the TV will handle an anamorphic image by squeezing all of its scan lines into a 16:9 rectangle, thus achiving near-HDTV resolution. This sort of ...DVD transfer prevents either a 16:9 set or a good 4:3 set from doing their jobs properly, resulting in an inferior image. I'm very disappointed.
