The Red Panther is an oddball mix of comedy, crime, and horror that plays out like a fever dream. You've got this cop with some bizarre health issues, specifically 'posterior ulcers,' which is a unique angle for a lead character, I must say. The film's tone swings wildly, with moments of slapstick humor juxtaposed against genuinely unsettling scenes. The serial killer's method of targeting those with ailments adds a grim layer to the narrative. And then there's the pie-making suspect—yeah, you can guess where that goes—with some pretty wild practical effects that elevate the gore factor. The pacing can feel erratic, but that just adds to its quirky charm. Overall, it’s a distinctive piece that showcases the absurdity of 80s genre blending.
