Becasue if we are...

I certainly don't think Pink Panther will be bringing down the house on opening night. I guess these remakes may be cheaper by the dozen for the studios to make, but I can't help but think that the box office results will be at best a bag of mixed nuts. I know I'd probably have to be pumped full of novocaine to sit through another one of them.

*clicks on mixed nuts.....clicks on novocaine*

Oh yeah, those. Right.

Count me in as another hopeful for Kline....oh well.

I guess Mr. Martin just wanted to add a Razzie (or two or three) to the list of awards he has won.

I've hated the idea of this remake ever since I first heard it mentioned. I feared it would be awful and the trailers have convinced me that it is beyond awful. Nobody can play that role but Peter Sellers. Same for Herbert Lom's role and Burt Kwouk.

I can only hope that this and ever other ill-conceived sequel bombs horifically and puts and end to this trend. Doesn't anyone in Hollywood have an original idea anymore?

I watched "Return of the Pink Panther" iwth my 12 year old over the weekend. That's the one where Chief Inspector Dreyfus finally goes completely over the edge. He was birlliant....and scarily convincing.

That's also the one where Kato attacks Clouseau after hiding in the fridge. I'm laughing just writing about it.

Actually, I would say that Dreyfus goes a bit more psycho in "The Pink Panther Strikes Again". It is this film that he creates the doomsday machine to destroy the world.

I love all of the original Pink Panther films. Well, except for "The Trail of the Pink Panther", which was horrible and only had snippets of Peter Sellers in it. I believe he had died before the film was completed.

I feel silly for saying this, but that's actually my favorite of them all. When Clouseau is in the Castle and has given Dreyfus laughing gas while posing as a dentist......i just can never stop laughing while i'm watching that.

I also like the assassin with the fake boobs that have poison spikes in them.

As far as "nobody can play that role," has anyone seen Alan Arkin in the role? I've known about the film ever since I was a kid, and have never had any desire to see it - and I'm a big Arkin fan (Catch-22, Wait Until Dark both came out around that time and are both classics).

No, but I saw Roberto Begnini, and it was miserably bad. My parents had rented it and if I wanted to hang out with them (I was in college and visiting at the time) I had to watch it. Bleach!

I have vague recollections of hearing about this one but never saw it. Was Begnini supposedly Clouseau's son????
