Trivia: At the end of the film, when the hospital bed crashes through the hospital window, Inspector Clouseau says "That breeze feels good". Steve Martin had said this line in the 1983 film "The Man with Two Brains", where his character Dr Michael Hfuhruhurr tells Dolores Benedict the same words after he breaks a window.
Trivia: Jason Statham has a cameo as "Gluant", the head coach of the France national football team, who is murdered in the pre-credits sequence.
Trivia: Jackie Chan was considered for the role of Clouseau's Chinese assistant Cato Fong, but the character was scrapped completely for fear that the Chinese stereotype was too politically incorrect for modern audiences.
Trivia: During the pre-credits sequence, Inspector Clouseau opens a door and says "You are under arrest!" to a baby in a cot. This baby is Pearl, daughter of Nina Ruscio, who has worked as production designer on several Shawn Levy films, including "Big Fat Liar" and "Cheaper by the Dozen".
