| 1 | * CrossesTheLineTwice: The RunningGag involving a gun and a cigarette lighter that ''looks'' like a gun. |
| 2 | * HarsherInHindsight: |
| 3 | ** A gag throughout the film is Clouseau exasperating Dreyfus so much that his blood pressure is constantly out of whack, less amusing after Creator/PeterSellers' death from a heart attack in 1980. |
| 4 | ** Remember how the Pink Panther diamond got stolen in a jar of face cream? Well this one is a lot less funny after [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Panthers a Serbian gang]] (which is likely affiliated with the local [[TheMafiya mafija]]) repeated the act beat-for-beat in 2003, and after several more major heists the gang got the nickname "the Pink Panthers". As of 2021 they still operate... so please watch your jewelry, especially if it has any value. |
| 5 | * SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: |
| 6 | ** The opening heist of the diamond is done straight and is surprisingly suspenseful. It may also count as a BigLippedAlligatorMoment, since the rest of the movie is an all-out comedy. |
| 7 | ** The animated title sequence may also count. Many consider it the best of the series, courtesy of Creator/RichardWilliams. |
| 8 | * QuestionableCasting: Of all the people to fill in for Creator/DavidNiven... ''Creator/ChristopherPlummer?!'' It's not that Plummer gives a bad performance at all, and some would even say it's superior to Niven's. However, not only he was 19 years younger than Niven (and only a year older than Creator/RobertWagner, who played Sir Charles' nephew George in the first film), but he easily passed for a decade younger than he was. |
| 9 | * RetroactiveRecognition: The blind beggar is played by Creator/JohnBluthal, who would later be best known for playing Frank Pickle in ''Series/TheVicarOfDibley''. |
