Wissenswertes
The actor who played Clouseau in scenes shot after Peter Sellers's death was John Taylor, who doubled Sellers in Das boshafte Spiel des Dr. Fu Man Chu (1980).

Patzer
Back in the French Resistance, a young Clouseau has placed bombs around a bridge to blow away the Nazis from crossing. As he goes to active the detonator box, the handle is facing vertically (that way the detonator can be activated); albeit in the next shot, it's horizontal.

Zitate
Hotel Clerk: [Clouseau rings the bell for service] Yes?
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: Do you have for me the 'massage'?
Hotel Clerk: Oh. You want a massage, ey?
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: If you have one for me, yes.
Hotel Clerk: Here. Why don't you try Tokyo Lil at the end of the block. Ask for Passionflower Shirley, the Yokohama Butterfly.
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: And why should I do that?
Hotel Clerk: Well, you want a massage, don't you?
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: Yes, but I want it from you.
Hotel Clerk: Sir, I don't give massages.
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: But you gave me one early this morning.
Hotel Clerk: Sir, you're mistaken.
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: Look! Don't you try the tricks anglais with me, Monsieur. I receieved a 'massage' this morning from Inspector Quinlan of the Yard of Scotland.
Hotel Clerk: The massage!
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: And it was you that gave it to me.
Hotel Clerk: Message.
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: What?
Hotel Clerk: You mean message.
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: Look, I know what I mean, you lunatic. Now do you, or do you not have for me, the 'massage'?
Hotel Clerk: No, Sir. For you, there is no massage.

Alternative Versionen
All UK cinema and video versions were cut by 21 secs by the BBFC to remove the nunchaku footage previously edited from Inspektor Clouseau - Der beste Mann bei Interpol (1976). The cuts were fully restored in 2003.

Bad, but in a good way. Sort of.

In compared to movies that have a beginning, middle and an end, "Trail of the Pink Panther" barely qualifies as a real movie. On a bad day it's a crass, sluggish, desperate and entirely unnecessary entry in what was a pretty well-worn series featuring the irreplaceable Peter Sellers.

Co-writer/Director Blake Edwards, whose 80's pendulum film-making talent swings from the very great ("Victor/Victoria", "S.O.B.", "That's Life") to the deplorably awful ("Blind Date", "A Fine Mess", "Skin Deep", "Sunset" among other casualties) goes back to the well to fashion the barest of linking "plot" segments to bring to life trims and deleted scenes from the previous entries in the long-running series.

These links are rather sloppily matched/handled and pretty obviously shot: a lumpy double for Peter Sellers in long walking shots, David Niven's awful looped vocal by Rich Little (!) of all people, the trials of matching the costumes of films more than six years previous (watch those lapels, guys!).

That said, what other movie has your very last chance to see Peter Sellers as Chief Inspector Clouseau at work? It is, in a weird way, a cheapjack "tribute" to the genius of Sellers and a ghostly valentine to the entire series - the very same set-ups, the former castmembers - and is best seen as such.

Feel free to turn the film off after the first 45 minutes, and then resist the urge to watch either "Curse of the Pink Panther" (1983) or "Son of the Pink Panther" (1993). But, if you're a die-hard "Panther" fan, that warning probably comes too late.
