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.

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.

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)

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)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: In order for Daws to tell Kuraki about the Karaboudjan, he tears off part of the wrapper from the Crabe Extra tin. The style of the tear changes constantly throughout this scene. The tear in the tin starts out as a tear with various ridges in the tearing. A further two shots later, the part of the tear near the end is now a lot shorter. Then a further three shots after this, the ridges in the tear have now became visibly smoother. Then when Daws chucks the can in the box, it is now just a simple tear through the wrapper. (00:01:55)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Daws takes the Crabe Extra tin out of his pocket, we can see that the tin is almost completely open and the very edge of the lid is located on the right hand side of the tin. After Daws has torn off part of the wrapper and written Karaboudjan on it, three bad guys appear out of nowhere and Daws throws the can in the box, the very edge of the lid on the can is now located on the left hand side of the tin. (00:01:45)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Other mistake: The Crabe Extra tin Daws had stuffed in his pocket is about four to five inches long, possibly more and the tin has been opened, increasing the length another two inches, and Daws still had to stuff his whole hand and whole wrist into his pocket and keep moving it around to retrieve the tin. If anything, he'd be lucky enough to have fit the tin in his pocket anyway. (00:01:45)
20th Jul 2015
The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Daws walks up to Kuraki, Kuraki asks Daws that if he got the Crabe Extra tin. At this moment, Kuraki's face looks seemingly normal and perfectly fine. The shot then cuts over to Daws taking out the Crabe Extra tin from his pocket, but when the shot cuts back over to Kuraki, his face is suddenly a lot paler. (00:01:40)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Kuraki walks through the cloud of fog and Daws is shown to be noticing this from the other side of the street. As soon as he finishes walking out of the fog cloud, he is shown to be standing right next to a lamp post and continues on walking. In the following shot after, that shows Daws looking at him, at least 2 - 3 steps are heard from Kuraki walking, but when the shot cuts back to Kuraki, he is still standing next to the lamp post. (00:01:30)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: After Kuraki walks through the cloud of fog, Daws is shown hiding behind a building. In the big close-up shot of Daws looking of the street, Daws is shown to be tugging onto the collar on his coat and pulling it forward. In the sudden shot afterwards, that shows the camera behind Daws, the collar on his coat is suddenly sitting there freely, not being tugged on at all. (00:01:30)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: When Daws is waiting behind the building for Kuraki to arrive, Kuraki is shown appearing in the shot by dramatically walking through a cloud of fog on the streets. As he begins to walk through the fog, it is very visible that his legs are transparent. (00:01:25)
