New Trailer for Steve Martin’s ‘Pink Panther 2′ Is Exactly What You’d Expect

Pink Panther 2

What is there to say really? Steve Martin has dueling personalities. One is a comedic genius responsible for films like Roxanne and L.A. Story, and the other has recognized the sizeable cash-cow that is the family film market. Unlike Eddie Murphy, who also suffered from the same affliction, Martin has yet to completely succumb to the fat folds, teat suckers, and absence of wit that constitute the majority of the movie-going public. But he’s close…

Sigh.

What do you think of the new trailer? Did you enjoy Martin’s first Pink panther movie?

Some where along the way people seem to have forgotten that the original Pink Panther series was written for ADULTS. In fact all but the last two movies Peter Sellers starred in contained plenty of foul language, nudity, and sexual situations.

Once again Hollywood has stripped all the elements that made the movie a success and they can't understand why it isn't a hit like the original.

Actually, the first incarnation of the hellish, fiery, mediocre slime that was Steve Martin's PINK PANTHER grossed $158,926,474 worldwide, with a production budget estimated at $80,000.00. It's earned another $22,000.00 in DVD sales--a number that I'm sure the studio is counting on to get a bump with the release of a sequel.

So yes--it was pretty successful. Just proving that the mass audience taste trends toward mediocrity.
