* EnsembleDarkHorse: Creator/HerbertLom's hilarious portrayal of Dreyfus here. He manages to make a dark subject (a man being slowly driven insane) absolutely hysterical. The fact that Lom goes toe-to-toe with one of the funniest men in history in Sellers and manages to steal scenes from him only adds to it. While he's also hilarious in the subsequent features, his breakdown is given a slow burn treatment here, allowing for Lom to have a field day with the hilarity.

Cleaning the wicks per the Trope Repair Shop thread. Crazy Awesome (renamed Success Through Insanity) is now an objective trope about a character succeeding at something because of their madness. This example seems to be a case of people thinking that a crazy character is awesome, so it will be deleted.

!! The film:
* AwesomeMusic: Music/HenryMancini's "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5enOsT3kdVc A Shot in the Dark]]" theme, which was also used for ''The Inspector'' animated shorts.
* EvenBetterSequel: This is widely considered to be the best film in the series.
* GrowingTheBeard: This is the first film that's actually about Clouseau, the first that introduces Dreyfus and Cato, and was the best reviewed film in the series.
* NightmareFuel: The whole film, especially if you hate murder mysteries. The animated credits - and the jazzy theme - come right after [[spoiler:the first of eight murders]]. It's the darkest of all films (especially because all the other films are about theft/fraud/kidnapping rather than murder). While the characters' deaths in other films are basically PlayedForLaughs, the deaths in this film are actually ''realistic'' murders.
* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: This is regarded by many as the best of the films.
