Visible crew/equipment: Cato and the inspector are fighting in his apartment, and Clouseau trips on Dreyfus' periscope. Right after this, Clouseau gets up and screams in Cato's face. He then has a look of shock right at the camera as Cato has a bigger weapon. At the bottom of the frame, the blatant shadow of the camera is visible on his bathrobe.

Trivia: Director Blake Edwards makes a cameo appearance in the background of the night-club scene.
Question: Does the ray that hits Drefus at the end kill him, or does it just turn him invisible?
Answer: Just Invisible. Besides the fact that his eyeball and eyelid remain intact and in the same position, he returns in a full, visible form (possibly in a film logic borrowed from Looney Tunes cartoons) in the next Panther film.
