* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Music/ChristopheBeck's rendition of "The Pink Panther Theme" that accompanies the animated title sequence. Also, Beyoncè performs two songs for the film. One in-character ("A Woman Like Me"), and one for the end credits that doubled as a single for the artist herself ("Check On It"). The latter, however, is infamous for its sexually-charged lyrics celebrating a woman's buttocks and the accompanying music video that's just as racy. She [[SarcasmMode must have forgot]] it's a PG movie.

* TearJerker: Despite how much of a buffoon Clouseau has been throughout the film, the poignant moment when, after Clouseau has been taken into custody, Drefyus calmly and coldly [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech tears him to shreds, calling him the stupidest policeman in all of France and explaining how he only called him in because he needed an idiot to flounder about with no results to draw away the media's attention]], can jar rather heavily with the comedic tone of the film up until now, especially since the scene is shown with pretty much no comedy at all. It really hits home when, after Drefyus leaves, the only thing Clouseau can muster himself to do is quietly turn around to [[HyperCompetentSidekick Ponton]], who despite acting under Drefyus's orders [[EveryoneHasStandards clearly regrets how things ended]], and ask him ''"[[EtTuBrute You knew?]]"'' in [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness a broken voice]].
** Later on, when Ponton takes Clouseau back home, the way he gamely tries to move forward and offers Ponton a heartfelt apology for all the difficult times he put him through can also tug at the heartstrings. Especially when Ponton replies with sincerity that {{it has been an honor}}; despite all of Clouseau's clumsiness and obnoxiousness, he's clearly endeared himself to Ponton with his genuine desire to bring a murderer to justice.

** Members of the Beyhive see this film due to Music/{{Beyonce}}'s involvement.



** The 2nd movie brings us Il Tornado, a jewel/antiquities thief. He's barely on-screen, [[spoiler:isn't actually the one stealing everything]] and has generally been regarded as an incredibly poor imitation of The Phantom from the Sellers films.
* {{Sequelitis}}: After the box office smash of the first film, the sequel bombed and killed the franchise for a fifth time. Reasons for it's failure include;
** The name The Pink Panther 2 being lazy compared to how the Sellers sequels were named.
** Clouseau having to share much of his screentime with the other detectives.
** Clouseau reverting to being casually racist and sexist, thus making him difficult to like.
** The romance-jealousy subplot between Clouseau, Nicole, and Brancaleoni.
** The film pulling a complete AssPull regarding how Clouseau not only knew that Sonia actually stole everything, but how he knew that the original diamond was still intact after [[spoiler:the fake]] was destroyed with no hint given to the audience throughout the film of how he could possibly know this until he actually explains it.
*** One of Ponton's sons does notice Clouseau's Pink Panther replica at one point, but zero hint is given to [[spoiler: it actually being the real deal]].
** A minor complaint being that Il Tornado should've been called The Phantom and actually been the one stealing everything.
* TheUntwist: In The Pink Panther 2, the Dream Team (sans Clouseau) examines a strand of DNA, and they strongly believe they have solved the case, [[spoiler: and they have prematurely reached a conclusion that Alonso Avellaneda was the Tornado.]] At the party honoring the Dream Team's accomplishments, however, Clouseau reaches a conclusion that only Sonia Solandres could have been the Tornado because she was more familiar with the Tornado's methods than the others.

The Pink Panther intentionally bringing harm to Clouseau during the opening credits is a staple of the franchise


* TakeThatScrappy: If the animated title sequences are any indication, the Pink Panther isn't too fond of the new Clouseau either.

I'm assuming this is a time period example, so it needs to be at least twenty years old to qualify.
