* HilariousInHindsight: Clouseau's first disguise upon arriving in China being a stereotypical Chinese person which makes him stick out like a sore thumb is this due to Sellers' [[Film/TheFiendishPlotOfDrFuManchu final film]] having him play Fu Manchu, a character of Chinese ethnicity
* WereStillRelevantDammit: The fact that it was now the late 1970s rather than the early 1960s was played up quite a bit. For the opening titles, they even had a ''disco version'' of the classic theme. It could have been TotallyRadical, but Music/HenryMancini [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp9-1qQM49M knocked it out of the park.]]

* FranchiseOriginalSin: It's considered the last good movie of the franchise, but several of the problems of the next sequels already exist here: questionable running jokes, offensive racial stereotypes, slow pacing and exaggerated plots. There is only one reason why this movie is good: the brilliant Peter Sellers was still alive.

** The Asian-flavored score during the chase/warehouse scene at the end. It was so catchy that ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' used it decades later in the episode "Breaking Out is Hard to Do".
