Talk:The Pink Panther

message: Do we have a decent source for the comment about Ed Helms taking over the role of Clouseau, or is it just rumour territory? There's no citation at all on this page, and the Pink Panther 2 page's citation leads to a seemingly irrelevant bit about the second film's box office intake. So, unless I missed something, this is best left off the page. Flamingopuree (talk) 22:34, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I think that the 2006 and 2008 films should be removed from this article, in as much as they are mentioned as part of the original series.  they are remakes, and have nothing to do with the original's writers, producers, directors, etc.15:47, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Sadly I have to agree that in order to meet the encyclopaedic criteria, they do have to be mentioned somewhere. However, there is a case for putting them and references to Steve Martin's role in a separate section of the page - even the present material points out that they are not a continuation of the existing PP canon, but a "rebooting" of it. See also the related pages Curse of the Pink Panther, Inspector Clouseau, etc. If the Steve Martin films are not directed related but are more of a "repackaging" of the PP image, then they should be listed separately as they are very different. - HTUK 08:35, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  breakout pages 

message: Pardon, but can anyone recall exactly why links are included to the pages for the Black Panthers, Grey Panthers, etc.? Apart from the fact that they include a color and the word "Panther," there seems to be absolutely no connection to the character or the film series. Would anyone object if I were to remove those links?
Also, I think a seperate page for discussion of the Pink Panther character and cartoons (and allowing for more indepth discussion of both the origin of his use in the opening credits, and his TV and commercial incarnations) is in order, wouldn't one say? (If I get the time, I may try to do it myself). Aleal 20:24, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: From the article:
:The rink Panther of the title is, in the first film, a diamond supposedly containing a flaw which forms the image of a pink panther, whose theft is the concern of the first film.
The theft of what is the concern of the first film? The diamond, the flaw, the image, or the panther? — JIP | Talk 09:23, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pink Panther beauty corporation 

message: Why is it that the first Pink Panther movie (The Pink Panther, 1963) is completely unlike all the others? It does have Clouseau in a major role, but he shares a major role with Charles and George Lytton, and the main part of the film concerns Clouseau's wife (who I don't remember appearing in any other films) cheating on him. All the other films have Clouseau as the unquestionable star. In fact, the second movie (A Shot in the Dark, 1964) already develops all the usual characteristics, for example Dreyfus and Cato are treated like well-established characters and running gags, although they did not appear in the first movie. Was the entire mythos of the films redesigned when the rights were transferred from Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer to United Artists? JIP | Talk 21:12, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In the article, speaking of A Shot in the Dark it is said that it "was quickly re-written to capitalize on the popularity of the original film". Actually, as it is stated in IMDB, this movie was finished before The Pink Panther, so I will take that sentence out. Anyway, A shot... was released only 3 months after The Pink Panther, hardly time enough to rewrite a script to capitalize on the success of the first released movie. Nazroon 17:40, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If it was actually filmed before the Pink Panther was releasted, the best they could have done was to re-edit the film to change its tone somewhat and/or to re-shoot some scenes in  a big hurry. However, it sounds like someone's guesswork. Wahkeenah 17:48, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question about Pink Panther movies 

message: Besides the movies, there were two different series of cartoons. The first series followed Depatie-Freleng's title's style, and never had any spoken lines. The second series was a more mainstream cartoon show, with all characters, including the Pink Panther, having speaking roles. I have watched both series and have noticed the difference between them, but I don't know anything else. Could someone explain the difference? Were they produced by different companies? Or was it simply a modernisation of the series? JIP | Talk 21:18, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: That seems extremely thin, not really enough to hang an entire article on.  Really, the theme song gets several mentions in the main article as it is, which should be enough.  If there's something particularly important about the song (which, I agree, is great) which should be mentioned, perhaps there's a say to work it in there -- but not anything as trivial as what instruments it can be played on (which instruments can't it be played on?).  Did it reach #1 status in the US or UK?  That would be significant.  Has it sold more than any other theme song, or something similar to that?  That would be notable.  In short, what facts are you suggesting need to be available to Wikipedia readers?  Why not list them here to convince us that your case is a strong one? unfutz 07:24, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm inclined to agree. Even if you created a separate article anyway, someone down the road would likely merge it in. However, feel free to offer an example... and any opinions, since this is the editorial page, not the article. Wahkeenah 22:46, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

message: So, did Roger Moore act in "Curse of the Pink Panther" or not? IMDB says yes, Roger Moore's page says no, and the Curse of the Pink Panther page is unclear.
Someone please clear this up!

replies: text: Roger Moore's page doesn't say no, it just doesn't mention it. He did indeed appear in Curse of the Pink Panther, in one extended scene as a surgically altered Inspector Clouseau. However, in the credits, he is identified as special guest star "Turk Thrust II," an allusion to the pseudonym used by director Bryan Forbes when appearing in A Shot in the Dark. -- Aleal 05:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

message: In the descriptions under Characters; Kato Fong. The following text is used "Cato was based on Kato, the sidekick of the Green Hornet played by Bruce Lee.[citation needed] The credits of A Shot in the Dark even list his name spelled with a "K", though it was changed to a "C" for all subsequent appearances." It would more accurately be read as follows. Kato who was first seen in A Shot In The Dark in 1964 may have been based on Kato the sidekick of the Green Hornet in the earlier 1940's movies and 1950's radio series, however, it definitely was not inspired by Bruce Lee as Lee did not play the Green Hornet's driver Kato until the later television series of 1966-1967. Interestingly the most likely reason that the spelling changed from Kato to Cato in the Return of the Pink Panther (1975) and later Pink Panther movies was in deference to Bruce Lee's performance as Kato in the 1960's Green Hornet television series.

message: "The Pink Panther was filmed in Technirama, a large-negative process that was basically VistaVision with CinemaScope-like anamorphic prints. Because of this MGM/Fox's Blu-ray disc should look exceptionally sharp - and generally speaking it does, though it's not as eye-poppingly splendiferous as Sleeping Beauty or Zulu, two other Technirama titles recently released to Blu-ray."
"The 1080p transfer is on a 50GB, dual-layered disc. The film's original audio history is murky. One assumes the film had at least a limited 4-track magnetic stereo release but probably was mostly released monophonic. In any case, a 1.0 Dolby Digital mono track is included along with a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio remix that sounds okay - it brings out Mancini's music better - but it's modest. 5.1 DTS tracks in Spanish, French, and Portuguese are also included, along with subtitles in Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Thai. English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing also are included."

2. The connection between the cartoon character and the Clouseau films could be clearer. Is it simply a visual pun? The diamond was called the "pink panther" so someone drew a real pink pather for fun?
