Factual error: Inspector Clouseau's watch may be broken but Hercule's doesn't keep very good time either. They synchonise watches at 7:47. 18 seconds later, Hercule says he has 7:47 and 23 seconds. (01:28:14)

9.1/10. A pretty good sequel that ensured the character of Inspector Closeau would come back. I'd rank it as the third best in the franchise behind The Return Of The Pink Panther then The Pink Panther Strikes Again then this movie then Revenge Of The Pink Panther. Peter Sellers is brilliant here in the role as he'd continue to be in future installments.

Dreyfus: Give me ten men like Clouseau and I could destroy the world.
Trivia: When Clouseau spins the globe in his office after the first interrogation of Maria, the part calls for him to catch his hand. Peter Sellers ad-libbed a line about Africa being all over his hand. Just before the dissolve to the next scene, the actors start to grin at the ad-lib. (00:35:45)
