Trivia

The very first scene of the movie is the scene between John Cleese and Geoffrey Palmer. They both have appeared in James Bond films. Cleese appeared in The World Is Not Enough (1999) and Die Another Day (2002) and Palmer appeared in Tomorrow Never Dies (1997). The previous movie in the series The Pink Panther (2006) spoofed the character of James Bond

In this movie, the Pink Panther Diamond is kept at the National Museum in France. In the previous movies, it was kept in the National Museum of the fictional country Lugash.

Steve Martin decided to have his Inspector Clouseau character marry Nicole at the end of the movie because he claimed that all of his movies that ended with weddings became commercially successful.

Goofs

In The Pink Panther, the diamond was set in a ring. In this film, it is just the gem.

Share this

In the first The Pink Panther, Jean Reno's character had a British accent. In this film, he has a very thick French accent. Likewise, Dreyfus' accent (after being re-cast from Kevin Kline to John Cleese) has a strong, English brogue.

Clouseau canceled his flight to Kyoto (to meet the Dream Team) at the last minute, because the Pink Panther was stolen. Yet the Team are already in Paris the next day. How did they get there so fast?

Italian Reporter: [after the Pope's ring has been stolen] Mr. Pepperidge, was the Dream Team asleep when the theft occurred?
