I can't watch the original Pink Panthers with Peter Sellers on TV anymore. Every time I see the listing it's this God awful sack of lark's vomit Steve Martin version. BAD REMAKES ARE NOT A VICTIMLESS CRIME! I wish someone would take Steve Martin's movie The Jerk and make a terrible remake of it just to teach him a lesson what it does to people.
shareIt's not that bad,
shareI just couldn't laugh. Maybe my expectations were too high. The Pink Panthers with Peter Sellers have me in tears laughing. When watching this I was mostly like :|
shareI saw the remake in the theaters. It was okay, but I really don't remember it. The original was a pleasant surprise. I caught most of it on TCM a couple of weeks ago. As soon as I could, I tracked down a copy of it. I've seen it three times in two weeks!
I don't see anything wrong with remaking this movie every so often. It's a story which can be told for any generation, with their popular actors.

What do you mean by "teach him a lesson what it does to people"? If you want to watch the original, why not just buy it? I prefer the original to the remake (and I saw the remake first, by the way), but I don't expect TV stations to change their schedule just for me. I just got the DVD and I can watch it any time I want to.
