Line 22:
* [[The Other Darrin]]: The Clouseaus besides Sellers, of course, but several other recurring characters were played by different actors from film to film (see the trope entry) in the classic series. In the rebooted series, Kevin Kline played Dreyfus in the first entry, but was replaced with John Cleese in the second.
* [[Star-Making Role]]: Peter Sellers was already a huge star in the United Kingdom thanks to ''[[The Goon Show]]'' and a list of TV and film credits that was already in the double digits, and had made inroads in North America with ''[[The Mouse That Roared]]'' and his work with [[Stanley Kubrick]], but Inspector Clouseau was the role that made him an international success.
* [[Technology Marches On]]: In ''Strikes Again'', the insane man who breaks into the television broadcast is identified through a photograph someone took off a TV screen.
* [[Throw It In]]: Occasionally; for instance, the "synchronized watches" bit in ''Shot'' was largely improvised by Peter Sellers and Graham Stark.
** Also Clouseau's line 'a rit of fealous jage' was supposedly a slip up (there is an outtake where Sellers and [[George Sanders]] both crack up at it) which was later re-filmed as part of the script.
