A Shot in the Dark

Other mistake: Subtitle (English) appears to be incorrect: "He is setting the scions of criminal investigations back 1000 years" should be "He is setting the science of criminal investigations back 1000 years." "Scions" is a description of the branches of a tree. (01:11:00)

Other mistake: When Dreyfus crosses his arms, that position he does is impossible for him to have stabbed himself. He'd have had to raise his right arm up with the letter opener pointing directly towards the left side of his chest then thrust downward.

Factual error: Inspector Clouseau's watch may be broken but Hercule's doesn't keep very good time either. They synchonise watches at 7:47. 18 seconds later, Hercule says he has 7:47 and 23 seconds. (01:28:14)
