A Shot in the Dark is an original screenplay and the second film in the Pink Panther series. Its characters were either new creations for this film or established in the preceding original film, without prior source material where their gender could have been different. Therefore, no gender swaps occurred.

This film is the second installment in the Pink Panther series. Key characters like Inspector Clouseau maintain their established race, and new characters introduced, such as Cato Fong, are portrayed consistently with their intended ethnicity. There are no instances where a character canonically established as one race is depicted as a different race.
