Continuity mistake: When Tintin explains to the Thompsons why he is rummaging through the bins, the Thompsons tell the garbage man to open the sack. Tintin then walks up to only a foot away from the man, but when Snowy is looking at the garbage sack there is no sign of Tintin. (00:04:35)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: When the Thompson's discover that Tintin is rummaging through the bins in order to find the Crabe Extra tin, one of them says "Tintin. Whatever are you doing?" and the other detective is shown stopping next to Tintin, altering the position of his cane. As soon as he stops altering the cane, the bottom of the cane is shown, through Tintin, overlapping with the bin. (00:04:15)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: As Tintin is rummaging through the bins, he says "It's got to be in here somewhere, Snowy." In this shot, the bin is bright blue. The shot cuts over to Snowy growling, but when the shot cuts the detectives entering the scene and one of them says "Tintin", in reaction to him rummaging the bins, the bin is now bright turquoise.

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Tintin borrows the torn out part of the wrapper, he and Snowy go to leave the office and the shot cuts back to Thompson and Thomson. For the very first frame of the shot, the top of the pile shows two blue files and on the bottom is two darker blue files. The bottom two files are shown with dark blue edges. Then within that same shot, a frame after, it is now a blue file at the top of the pile and a red file below the blue file and the edges from the dark blue files have vanished. (00:03:50)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Other mistake: When Tintin discovers the torn out part of the wrapper, Tintin asks "What are these?" and one of the detectives reply "Objects found on a drowning victim." At this moment, the Thompsons are shown holding six files in their hands, but the way they are shown holding it would never be possible. This is mainly due to the fact that the second file is located on top of another file to the left, but there are four others on top. These four files are creating too much weight and would have fallen over. (00:03:35)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: When one of the detectives is wondering were the file could have gotten to, part of his coat is shown protruding over one of the files for a brief frame. (00:03:25)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When one of the detectives places a bunch of files on their desks, visible part way through the pile are two separate pieces of paper between the files. In the split second that shows the files being placed down, the pieces of paper are shown sticking out about two inches. In the next shot, the papers are now sticking out almost half way. (00:03:25)

Continuity mistake: In Thomson and Thompson's office, one of the detectives sets some files down on the desk. Just before the files are set down, to the left of the files is a green mat with a piece of paper near the end of it. In the next shot, after the files have been set down and one says "Now where on Earth could that file have got to?", the piece of paper on the green mat has vanished. (00:03:25)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Other mistake: As the scene cuts from Tintin walking on the sidewalk to Thomson and Thomson's office, the shot then pans over to one of them placing some files on the desk. As he places the files, three pieces of paper are shown floating off the desk, but there is nothing there causing the papers to move at all. (00:03:25)

Revealing mistake: After Tintin has thrown the Crabe Extra tin in the bin, he continues to walk along the sidewalk. Snowy then growls sounding annoyed at the can and he begins to walk along the sidewalk also. The shot then zooms in on the tin resting in the bin and it can be noticed that the tin visibly tilts. (00:03:15)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Audio problem: After Tintin has removed the Crabe Extra tin from Snowy's nose, they continue to walk to Thomson and Thompson's office and Tintin is shown chucking the Crabe Extra tin in the bin. The sound of the tin actually hitting the bin is not heard, but the sound of the tin settling in the bin is heard anyway. (00:03:15)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: After Snowy has dogged his way through the box, he gets the Crabe Extra tin stuck in his nose and runs over to Tintin.

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Snowy runs back to Tintin after getting the Crabe Extra tin stuck in his nose, Tintin says "That's what you get for sticking your nose where it doesn't belong" and reaches to take the tin off his nose. As Tintin reaches for the tin, the wrapper of the tin itself is a very bright yellow and the words "Crabe Extra" are very large. In the next shot, as Tintin actually takes the tin off his nose, the wrapper of the tin is now a pale yellow and the words "Crabe Extra" are now a lot smaller. (00:03:00)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: After the three Karaboudjan members begin to approach Daws, Kuraki then takes out his gun and says "Follow me." Kuraki then begins to leave the shot. He has a black mustache, but just as he almost leaves the shot, his mustache temporarily becomes flesh colored for a brief frame. (00:02:10)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Other mistake: When the three Karaboudjan members go to approach Daws, we see Daws go to clench the wrapper he had written "Karaboudjan" on and then throws the Crabe Extra tin in the box nearby. In the shot where one of them says "You disappoint us, Daws", as they first appear, we can see Daws is standing in front of the box, yet as Daws actually goes to throw the tin in the box, he throws it forwards, which from that position meant, could not have possibly landed in the box. It would have landed far in front of the box, rather than actually in it. (00:02:05)
31st Jul 2015
The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: After Daws has finished writing "Karaboudjan" on the wrapper, three of the Karaboudjan crew members appear in an attempt to kill him. Daws then clenches the wrapper and places it in his pocket. In this shot, only half of the image of then crab on the Crabe Extra tin is shown due to Daws ripping off part the wrapper a few seconds prior. As soon as Daws throws the tin in the box, part of the crab's claws have suddenly appeared at the other end of the tear. (00:02:05)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: During the conversation between Daws and Kuraki, Kuraki tells Daws to tell him about the Karaboudjan and Daws then tears off part of the Crabe Extra wrapper and begins to write "Karaboudjan" on the wrapper. In this shot, the edge of the split in the tear on the Crabe Extra tin is located between the words "Crabe" and "Extra." When Daws throws the tin in the bin, the edge of the split in the tear is now located between the "A" and the "B" in "Crabe." (00:01:55)

Plot hole: Trevor Phillips Industries: After arriving at the Meth Lab, Trevor tricks Mr. Cheng and his translator into entering an ice freezer. The translator then asks for Trevor to let him out and starts banging on the door. Trevor never locked the door and there is nothing restraining the door as Trevor had just opened it a second ago, so the translator could have simply just pushed the door open if he wanted to exit the ice freezer.
