Continuity mistake: When the episode starts, Tintin rides into Marlinspike Hall on his motorbike. From a side angle of the bike after it has driven inside, the brace thing around the bike's wheels is black. After Haddock says "Ahoy, Tintin", the brace thing has become green. (00:01:15)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Character mistake: When the bell on Haddock's clock rings, there is a shot showing the clock with the time on 8:00. All of the numbers used to represent the time shown on the clock are written in roman numerals, however, the roman numeral for the 8 shown on the clock is written out as VI. Eight in roman numerals should be VIII. (00:01:45)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: When Haddock goes to switch the news on, he gets up from his seat whilst Tintin is standing at the fire getting warm. Tintin's legs are slightly bent. But in a shot of Snowy, his legs are suddenly straight. (00:01:50)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: As Haddock cleans his teeth, the news on the radio states that Castafiore was arrested so Haddock spits out his gargling water. Some of the water and toothpaste goes over his beard. But when he runs into Tintin's room, his beard is as dry as a bone, with no toothpaste in sight. (00:03:10)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: At the start of the scene where Tintin and Haddock watch General Tapioca, the TV is colored light brown. When General Tapioca states that Tintin, Haddock and Calculus are invited, the TV is suddenly maroon. (00:04:00 - 00:04:30)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: When Tintin and Haddock watch Tapioca talking about them, a shot shows the TV's logo with a rectangle-shaped outline around the box. When Haddock advances on the TV in the next shot, the outline isn't there anymore. (00:04:00)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: When Tintin and Haddock watch a report of Tapioca yelling about them, loads of wavy lines go along the screen. When the shot ends, no wavy static lines are visible on the screen. Instantly in the next shot, the wavy static lines suddenly appear. (00:04:05)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Other mistake: When Haddock turns off the TV after watching the report, he pushes the middle of the screen which turns the TV off. Pushing the TV at this angle would make him touch the TV screen, not a button to turn it off. (00:04:45)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Revealing mistake: Just after Tintin says "The last I heard he was hiding in the jungle trying to organize the resistance", a shot is shown of the plane window flying over the clouds with a shadow on the clouds. The plane flies over a cloud with part of it missing and for one frame only, the shadow is seen going over the part of the cloud that was missing. (00:05:40)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Revealing mistake: The shot prior to the plane landing shows a village of people where some of them are in the background watching the plane. You'll see a blonde guy in the foreground with messed up elbow animation. It keeps jiggling all over the place. (00:05:55)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Audio problem: When the plane lands at the airport, Snowy is running down the steps and barking. His mouth is never shown moving at all when he barks. (00:06:10)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Revealing mistake: After Tintin, Haddock and Calculus meet Colonel Alvarez, they are seen driving through downtown in a car. Watch the people, buildings and posters on the sidewalk. Each time the shot cuts, it is always the exact same people. Exact same buildings. And exact same posters on the sidewalk. Also, as Calculus starts talking, the same thing has been done again, except the background is different. (00:07:05)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: Haddock gets up from his seat and goes to open the windows. In the shot of him walking over, there is nothing on the window. In the next shot, a handle used to open the window with has suddenly appeared. (00:09:45)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Revealing mistake: After Haddock snaps the door to the window, the big guy enters the room pointing a gun at Haddock. The shot then cuts to Haddock with fruit all over the place. Look to the left of screen and you'll an apple laid on top of another apple completely unnaturally. (00:10:00)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Other mistake: After Manolo has told Haddock that the windows don't open, Manolo goes to leave and slips on a banana placed in the doorway. The banana's position in the doorway would not be possible. The banana landed on the floor after Haddock fell over the table in the hotel room and spilled the contents of the fruit bowl all of the room and then Manolo entered the room a second later. When Manolo opened the door, he would have pushed anything in front of the door out of the way. (00:10:25)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: When the big guy steps on the banana, its position on the floor changes between shots. From the close-up, it's horizontal. From the wider shot, it's vertical. (00:10:25)
Chosen answer: If Hector was seriously intent on removing King Ottokar's scepter from the glass cage holding it and launching it through the window with the camera, then Hector would have been forced to knock out the two guards so they would not have interfered with Hector's plan as soon as he removed the scepter from the glass. As for Hector, himself, was explained when Tintin was explaining how Hector stole the scepter. Tintin placed a twig inside the camera and it launched out of the camera. Hector would have placed the scepter inside of the camera, and would have been knocked unconscious due to the spring effect created when the scepter had been launched.
