Factual error: The Pink Panther has been stolen again. Closeau is looking at the French newspaper "Le Figaro" where everything is written in French, everything except the article titled, "Pink Panther Snatched Again".
Trail of the Pink Panther (1982)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Blake Edwards
Starring: David Niven, Herbert Lom, Peter Sellers, Richard Mulligan
Continuity mistake: Closeau is at his desk preparing to light his pipe. The Pipe is in his mouth as he lights the match, the camera angle changes and now it is out of his mouth in his left hand as the camera zooms in, he puts it back in his mouth to light.
Deputy Comissioner Lasorde: Read this most carefully and give me your opinion.
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: I will read my opinion and give you yours most carefully.
Trivia: Trail of the Pink Panther was made by editing together deleted scenes and outtakes from five previous Pink Panther films and is widely regarded as a tasteless attempt to cash in on Peter Sellers' death. Sellers' widow, Lynn Frederick, sued MGM, United Artists, and director Blake Edwards, accusing them of tarnishing her late husband's reputation and seeking to have the film banned. She was awarded US$1,000,000 in damages, but her application to have the film banned was dismissed.
