This was likely a deliberate CallBack to the first film's structure, where Sir Charles was the one who drove the plot forwards, and Clouseau was there to provide the comic relief, though this time Clouseau is much more the main character.

** At the end of the original film, Clouseau's wife Simone elopes with Sir Charles, but here he is married to Lady Claudine Litton. This would not be so unusual if not for the fact that in Film/TrailOfThePinkPanther, he is married to Simone.

* DelayedOhCrap: Being told that Sharki is going to kill him and the Lyttons doesn't immediately hit Clouseau. When it does, he asks: "What a minute, did you just say he is going to kill us?"

* ShareTheMalePain: While Clouseau is investigating the room the Pink Panther was displayed in, he picks up a device The Phantom used to steal it, the device itself best described as a hinged combination of a grabber and a crane game claw. The arm swings down and the closed claw nails him in the crotch, cue musuem curator and a guard wincing.
