* 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.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: 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.

Blatant misuse. Ensemble Dark Horse is for minor reoccurring characters that become massively popular within the fandom.


* EnsembleDarkhorse: Among the animated title sequences, Creator/RichardWilliams' work for this film is considered the best and most memorable.

** 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.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Sir Charles Litton, arguably. While Clouseau is the main character, Sir Charles gets plenty of moments to establish himself as an action hero.
