Panther is a 1995 American Afro-American/historical/political/drama/biopic that is based on Melvin Van Peebles's novel, Panther, which itself is based on the events of the Black Panther Party organization that came out of the Civil Rights Movement. It was co-produced by Poly Gram Filmed Entertainment, Working Title Films, Tri Be Ca Productions, and MVP Films, with Gramercy Pictures as the distributor. The all-star cast consisted of, among others, Kadeem Hardison, Anthony Griffith, Angela Bassett, Courtney B. Vance, M Emmett Walsh, Bobby Brown, Chris Rock, Jenifer Lewis, Dick Gregory, and Tyrin Turner. The director was Van Peebles's son, Mario Van Peebles, who also appeared in this. This movie has the notable distinction of being the first to revolve around the Black Panthers.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Beginning in the late 1960s, in Oakland, following a tragic incident in which a black boy is killed, a group of several American blacks decide to follow in the footsteps of civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X by forming the Black Panther Party.

The Aggressive Drug Dealer: Sabu becomes one of these, with help from the police department and even the Italian Cartel. He goes from a greedy conman to a drug crime boss, poisoning the Oakland community with heroin and cocaine while killing anyone who tries to stop him.

The Bad Guys Are Cops: The Oakland Police Department sets up False Flag Operation tactics against the BPP to arrest and even kill its members and even go out of their way to plant drug addicts to set up sting operations. They even force Judge to supply them information against his will on threat of death. Cops across the country are also shown blowing up food distribution offices and being solely shown as Rabid Cop or Cowboy Cop.
