Trivia:

Goofs:
Factual errors: At the mental hospital, Dreyfus recites some phrases that rhyme. These are identified by the psychiatrist, Dr. Longet, as the lyrics to the song "You Go To My Head". He (supposedly a jazz expert) attributes the authorship to Cole Porter - a very common mistake. Porter is not the composer of either the music or the lyrics to "You Go To My Head". The authors are J. Fred Coots (music) and Haven Gillespie (lyrics).See more »
Quotes:
Marie Jouvet:Do you think he's dead?
Lady Simone Litton:I hope not.
Marie Jouvet:What do you think, Sir. Charles?
Sir Charles Litton:No. Men like Clouseau never die. They're indestructible. And that's the way it should be.
Marie Jouvet:Why?
Sir Charles Litton:Well, we need them. They help us preserve our sense of humor. And they're living proof that, however bad things get, if you persevere you survive, and sometimes even win.

Last real panther-film and a fine tribute to Sellers., 15 December 2000
Author: Mika Pykäläaho (bygis80@hotmail.com) from Järvenpää, Finland

Some might call this movie a felonious grave robbery but I think this is a fine tribute to a late comedian master. I don't think it was such a bad idea to take some unused scenes and older highlights and put together a completely new film after decease of masterful Peter Sellers.

Even though sequences with Jacques Clouseau don't fit the plot perfectly, it works. There are couple of brilliantly hilarious never-seen-before scenes with Sellers in here and to me that's a reason enough to make this film, I'm sure. I also have to admit Richard Mulligan is superb in the role of Clouseau's father. Bit strange sequel but cool stuff and great fun.
