There are many deleted scenes from the Panther series that we've never seen before. Some of the Strikes Again scenes were used in Trail but that seems to be only a little part of all the scenes we're missing. Some of us who have seen That's Panthertainment will know two deleted scenes from Return (and one extended scene, some extra bits and outtakes from all the 70's panther films) but unfortunatley that's all MGM gives us. If you know something more about deleted scenes this is the topic to discuss it in. Today I found this picture from Revenge: We've all seen the scene but I've never seen this exact moment.

yeah, it's a shame how they give us outtakes and deleted scenes and other bonus features galore from every film/series under the sun, but when it comes to Panther films, they seem to wanna keep a tight grip on anything that might be even remotely interesting... i'd even be happier if they'd just release That's Panthertainment in R1...

ok, here's the lowdown on the deleted-Strike Again-scenes from Trail:
1) the Balls sequence w/Harvey Korman was originally filmed for "Strikes again", but was deleted.....i actually prefer Korman to Graham Stark, because he seems to have more of a dignified, calm, arrogant, outgoing, even more "French" presence that Stark doesn't deliver in Revenge.....also, the short scene from Revenge at Balls' seemed rushed, obviously the writers trimmed the dialogue down considerably.
2) the scene in the office w/the fire was also from Strikes, and the interesting thing here is that it was originally shot as a reflection on Tournier the bank robber, and Edwards inserted a quick new shot of a newspaper headlining the theft of the diamond, INSTEAD of a headline showing that Tournier had escaped....also, when the Commissioner come in and starts talking, his lines were changed and dubbed in to say "theft of the pink panther" instead of something about the bank robber, which was original dialogue.
3) the scene with the rice and the elevator is also lifted directly from Strikes...only a longer version.....i wish that they had kept that long version, because it is funnier, esp. when he starts singing "Dancing in the Rice"!
4) the scene with the "pup-out" lighter was also from Strikes, and Edwards dubbed in some dialogue with Francois saying "Does Sir Charles KNOW you are coming?", which was taped on audio in 1982 and inserted into the old footage (note that we cannot SEE Francois' face when he says this!).
5) the airplane scene is lifted entirely from the "original" Strikes, since at the end we see Drummond and his assistant (who resembles Micky Dolenz from the Monkees, BTW)....also, in the original trailer for that movie they show Clouseau with the turban-bandage on at the runway-tarmac.
6) the scene with the phone operator-hotel manager is ALSO from Strikes, since this occurs right before Clouseau meets the detectives at Scotland Yard.
7) now, the LAST scene with Sellars, when he gets into the wrong taxicab, should also be from Strikes, as he is leaving for the Fassbender estate.
hope this clears things up!
Sincerely, Crimson_King
