The original movies have all been available before. One of them is the rancid 1968 film without Peter Sellers. Two of them are poorly assembled clipfests from the other movies. Another is a rotten 1993 spinoff. Yet another is the atrocious Steve Martin remake.
And then the set is filled out with tons of cartoons. The original theatrical stuff has some flair, but the TV cartoons are big stink bombs.
And of course (while MGM couldn’t help it because of rights issues) Return of the Pink Panther isn’t here at all.
Feel like shelling out a bunch of money for this yet?
The only thing of interest at all in this set is the original movie with “over 60 minutes of never-before-seen footage.” 60 minutes of Peter Sellers outtakes? That’s worth lining up for! Hopefully it will be available on its own at some point.
The best Pink Panther film is The Return of the Pink Panther, which isn’t included in MGM sets because it’s owned by Universal.
[...]
It’s only [...] here on Amazon and it is, by far, the best in the series.
These Pink Panther films (except the first one, which was intended as a vehicle for David Niven until the producers realized that it was much more entertaining to watch Sellers) are OK, and funny simply because of Sellers. But it’s not worth this kind of price when you can get his best Clouseau in The Return of the Pink Panther/
Rating: 3 / 5
Sounds great, but…
According to the specs, still no “Return Of The Pink Panther”.
Rating: 3 / 5
Why in world call this ultimate?
The cartoon series is available seperatly
while the curse of the pink panther without sellers , The son of the pink panther&
and the 2006 sham with steve martian which nobody liked
I don’t get this ? MGM search for more money
The only interesting thing in this set is 60 minutes extra footage, of the pink panther? I guess now that Blake Edwards is dead. MGM can
dig up purposly lost footage and nobody can object.?
I will not buy this set, and have feeling alot people wont either.
MGM is double dipping theres nothing wrong with 2004 collection
I know the return of pink panther is not available in either
set .
it goes to show you some companies will milk it,
until the cow is long dead.

Nicely done, well prepared set. Movies and cartoons are great. Book is a nice addition. Good value when priced right.
