* ForgotICouldntSwim: Jacques crashes his bicycle into the river and shouts for help as he can't swim. Dreyfus immediately dives in, forgetting his own inability to swim and starts flailing about in the water. Jacques, who appears to be floating, says he can't swim either and Dreyfus asks why he isn't drowning. Jacques points out the water is shallow enough to stand in, at which point Dreyfus stands up and the two share a good laugh.

* MythologyGag: Claudia Cardinale plays Maria Grambrelli. Claudia Cardinale had previously played Princess Dala in the original 1963 film and was cast as Maria instead of the role being reprised by Elke Sommer due to her not returning. This may have been because Sommer was working on a TV show and a movie while Son was in production, wasn't interested in reprising the role, or just plain wasn't asked to return.
Added DiffLines:
* TookALevelInKindness: Dreyfus is noticeably nicer this film than in the previous entries, not hesitating to dive into a river in an attempt to save Jacques from drowning despite his own inability to swim, immediately apologizing to Maria after an insult towards Clouseau slips out, and, despite Jacques mannerisms, not letting his experiences with his father cloud in his opinion of him.

** Actually, Curse of the Pink Panther may not have been ignored; dialogue only ''states'' that Clouseau died, but he was only declared legally dead at the end of Curse due to Clifton being given a photograph of the man who was killed at the start of that movie and being told that's what Clouseau had his appearance changed to. Maria and Dreyfuss only assume he's dead due to Clouseau having been declared legally so. He may very well have still been with Countess Chandra during the events of this film.

Son of the Pink Panther is a 1993 comedy and crime drama film and the final installment in the original "Franchise/ThePinkPanther" franchise, as well as the last film directed by Creator/Blake Edwards
In Lugash, the young Princess Yasmin is kidnapped by Hans Zarba and his crew, who demand that her father, King Haroak, renounce his throne. The case is assigned to the once-again-Commissioner Dreyfus, who unknowingly runs into Hans and his crew on the road. They’re both accompanied by a rather unexpected visitor; a dopey French gendarme named Jacques Gambrelli, prone to many familiar mannerisms and quirks that make Dreyfus tick. After meeting with Jacques’ mother, Maria (Clouseau’s love interest in A Shot in the Dark), Dreyfus’s suspicions are finally answered;
Jacques is indeed the Illegitimate son of the famed Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau, a fact that both of them never learned.
When Jacques is assigned to the kidnapping case, filled with new-found determination, he must fill the shoes of his infamous father’s bumbling legacy as “Clouseau Jr.” to rescue Yasmin from the clutches of Zarba and his gang.
