Line 38:
Because ''A Shot in the Dark'' did not involve the diamond itself, the Panther didn't feature in the credits (from ''Strikes Again'' onwards, he does even if the diamond isn't involved) but a caricature of Clouseau did. This went over well enough that a shorter-lived series of shorts focusing on "The Inspector" (voiced by Pat Harrington) and his sidekick Deux-Deux (a gendarme) was made in the mid-1960s. The Clouseau animated character appeared in the credits of all the subsequent films through ''Trail'', always futilely pursuing the Panther. The [[Replacement Scrappy]] characters got their own animated equivalents for ''Curse'' and ''Son'', and a Martin-styled Clouseau figure appears in the reboot.

=== The films feature examples of: ===
* [[Accidental Hero]]: Clouseau isn't able to save the world from Dreyfus' laser in ''Strikes Again'' until {{spoiler|he just happens to sit on a catapult out of exhaustion}}. Douvier's men kidnapping his former mistress Simone with the intention of disposing of her ''literally'' collides with Clouseau and Cato's attempt to spy on Le Club Foot in ''Revenge''.
* [[Amusing Injuries]]: Dreyfus in particular is prone to these.
