This simple-minded account of the Black Panther Party is insulting to anybody who ever admired the positive qualities of the organization or at the very least took their militancy seriously. Melvin Van Peebles wrote the thin script, and son Mario directs it with little of the penetrating and expansive sensibility necessary to understand the subject in its broadest context. The presence of a big cast with a lot of familiar names and faces--including real-life Panther contemporaries Jerry Rubin and Dick Gregory--give the project a false air of importance. --Tom Keogh

Who is charging that much for Panther, a very good movie but there are better movies that are MUCH cheaper on Amazon! I wanted to order this movie from amazon, but it's way too high, it's got to be a mistake. My grocery bill is way cheaper that that!

An awesome story on the beginning of the Black Panther party for defense. Comes close to telling the real story. You'll notice, this is only on vhs. How come nobody deems it necessary to put a film like this on dvd. Things that make you go Hmm.

It is a great movie. You really can find a dvd copy if you look real hard. Go to some of the dvd resell stores and also I found a copy in the public library. Some pawn shops have plenty of older dvds. It makes me sick that some people try to charge these outrageous prices. If it wasn't illegal I would burn copies for people that wanted them...

In a nutshell, what we have is an awesome chronicling of the history of the Black Panthers that picks up after the assassination of Malcolm X (Angela Bissett makes a cameo appearance as Betty Shabazz, who sought the Panthers' protection for a time after Malcolm X's assassination), we then see the turbulent and bloody history of the Panthers, their run-ins with the police, attempts by the police on their lives, the conspiracies of J.Edgar Hoover to taint their reputation,etc. It's a shame that this dvd release was considered to real for the government's taste...one that I'd have enjoyed watching as a companion to Malcolm X, however, I can't see myself payin' $100-$200 for a dramatization of what we all know top be the truth...we all know that our governmental history has a closet fulla skeletons, and so does the govt, exactly why they ordered this film out of print. Nothin' new...but a shame that it's being sold for so high a price because people insist on suppressing the truth we already know. To the Panthers of yesterday...much respect. Uhuru Sahsa.
