Mistake Revealing: When Clouseau answers the phone he shuffles his right foot slightly so that it isn't directly over the spot that Dreyfus drills through a few seconds later.

Mistake Revealing: While fighting Clouseau, Cato sticks a wooden pole through the screen of a television. The screen is made of paper.

Mistake Continuity: When Clouseau is on the parallel bars, note the switch as he jumps and turns from Peter Sellers to stuntman, then note again as the stuntman falls down the stairs; the stuntman finishes falling behind the right hand side of the settee, and up pops Peter Sellers on the left hand side of the settee giving the apparant impression he has just fallen down the stairs himself.

Mistake Continuity: The President of the US is watching football on channel 1. Dreyfus interrupts the broadcast and an aide flips through the channels to discover that Dreyfus is on all of them - the TV ends up on channel 9. Throughout the rest of the scene, the TV switches back and forth between channels 1 and 9 without human intervention.

Mistake Continuity: At the start of the fight in the club, the stain on Clouseau's jacket (from the accident with the parrot) is visible. Partway through the fight it has faded significantly. By the end of the fight it has gone.

Mistake Continuity: When Clouseau, Cato and Olga fall into the river at the end of the film there are two shots of the fall (one from above, one from below). The two shots are different - the people are in different places and there are different amounts of debris and bedding.

Mistake Continuity: In the beginning, when Clouseau walks to the door of his apartment, there's a big pile of sugar in the elevator. This pile disappears during his silly dance, but returns when he tears his pants later.

Mistake Revealing: When Clouseau yanks a man's tooth out, you can still see it; it's just blackened to appear missing.

Mistake Continuity: When Dreyfus makes the first hole in the ceiling to spy on Clouseau, the latter spills sugar on that spot of the floor. Yet when we look through the telescope, the floor right in front of it has no sugar on it.

Mistake Continuity: After Dreyfus' pirate broadcast we are shown a black and white picture 'taken by a journalist during the broadcast'. The photograph is very unlike any image of Dreyfus' face in his telecast.

Mistake Continuity: Inspector Closeau's large rectangular parcel - leaning against the table - changes position while he is opening the door to his flat.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: Throughout the whole scene when Clouseau is disguised as a hunchback and is floating out the window, you can see wires.

Mistake Continuity: When Clouseau hits Cato with a nunchaku, Cato is holding his pole in the middle. In the next shot, his hands have moved to the bottom of the pole.

Mistake Continuity: In the hallway, Clouseau has spaghetti and a french loaf sticking up out of his shopping bag. When he enters his flat, the loaf has vanished.

Mistake Revealing: When Clouseau pulls out Dreyfus' tooth there is no blood.
