It's one I rate highly, but I don't think has the sharp dialogue, memorable set pieces (Clouseau and his guitar in the nudist camp, for example), overall construction, or as good a performance from Peter Sellers as A Shot in the Dark. If I was to do a top three, it would be:

A Shot in the Dark
The Pink Panther
The Pink Panther Strikes Again

Yeah the first Purge film had a great concept but it didn't fulfil its potential. Instead, it was just a bland by the numbers home invasion flick with cliché after predictable cliché. 'Anarchy' is the film the first one should have been and was what people were expecting that first time around. I think the writer and director James DeMonaco considered those criticisms and gave the audience what they wanted this time. I'll be watching 'Election Year' later.

About a week or two back i tried watching hateful 8 gave up after a hour.
Now finished it of tonight, it was ok still think bit over rated and nothing like i was expecting, problem is i find with his films now is i think he knows he good and clever but got to big for his boots in the films he make he kinda ruins them, he does to much of same cliche and certain style that can spot his film a mile away, and he concentrates to much on drawn out scenes and long speaches with to much dialogue. That now its more about the dialogue than the actual film itself, Instead of actual concentrating on a film. He definatly talented no two ways about it, ive not been much of a fan of his films since Kill Bill.

I remember my brother recording this off the telly when i was a kid and i've watched it several times through the years. Its cheesy as hell but still brings back good memories, so i'm still fond of the film despite it being far from perfect.

Just watched the 'making of' documentary and i was surprised how big the production was for what is, lets face it, a B movie. Interesting stuff.
