Continuity: When Clouseau parks in front of the ministry of justice, he breaks the hood of two police cars. A few shots later, when we see him entering the building, only one of the cars is broken.

Revealing: When Clouseau heard the footsteps of what he thought to be a lady and what we afterwards knew was the Russian trainer, he described how tall she was using the English system of feet and inches, not the metric system, which is used in France.

Continuity: In the flashback, when the trainer kills the coach with the dart, he stabs the coach but when he takes his hand away the dart is above his hand.

Continuity: The Killer is no where near the football coach when he dies in the beginning, but in the flashback, the killer is right next to him.

Revealing: As Clouseau falls down the stairs when pretending to read the newspaper, you can see his legs flick up after he has supposedly fallen beyond sight - indicating he fell onto a mattress just below the camera's view.

Continuity: When we see the dead body of the footballer for the first time, we see that his right hand is on what appears to be some sort of white stand. Later when Clouseau is viewing the body the stand is now in front of the body and a few feet away.

Continuity: When the footballer is killed we see the girl enter the room, and the shot cuts the the dead body. The body is seen lying face down with his hands out to his sides. Later when Clouseau sees the body, the head is now to one side.

Factual error: The French national police are under the control of the ministry of interior, not the ministry of justice.

Other: In the final scene where the police chief is barreling through the hospital on his bed, he goes along a straight path, yet when the two inspectors and the assistant come down the stairs they come out the side of the corridor. If the police chief followed a straight path, how did they come out of the side of the corridor, and how did the bed turn around a 90 degree corner at that speed?

Continuity: After the cyclist smashes in the door, the window is lowered. It is almost closed in the following shot, without Clouseau touching it.

Other: When Ponton and Clouseau are driving the car, before the cyclist smashes in the door, the car is reflected many times on the windows. There is a black object at the rear of the car, which was not there before, and disappears the rest of the film.

Continuity: When Clouseau first meets Chief Inspector Dreyfus we see him flip his badge which flies out and sticks into Dreyfus' chest lying flat against it. As Clouseau is retrieving the badge, it is no longer lying flat, but is on an angle.

Audio problem: When Clouseau is in the training facilities and hears footsteps approaching, the feet sound like they are wearing high heels or football boots. However when the Russian trainer appears he is wearing trainers therefore his footsteps could not possibly have made the noise heard on his approach.
