Character mistake: When the group is discovered by Allan, they all take cover behind a rock whilst Allan fires at them. Tintin's position behind the rock would not protect him. Allan is standing directly in front of them and Tintin in taking cover beside a rock that is to the left of him. The area in front of Tintin would still be exposed to Allan's gunfire. (00:26:00)
Continuity mistake: When Allan realises that Rastapopoulos wants Carreidas alive, there is a grenade pin in one of his fingers from the grenade that he just took out. Allan then throws the grenade away, and the pin for the grenade has suddenly vanished. (00:28:55)
Continuity mistake: When the group is reunited with Gino and Skut, Skut is smiling with his mouth open. Tintin walks over to them in the next shot, and Skut's mouth is suddenly closed. (00:33:30)
Other mistake: In order for Rastapopoulos to break into the secret passageway, he places chunks of dynamite around the idol, then lights a fuse for each individual chunk of dynamite, all burning at the same time. The fuse for the dynamite near the middle of the idol is significantly shorter than the fuses for the others. Despite this, it still takes the exact same amount of time for all three to burn down. (00:34:00)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Tintin and Haddock exit a movie theatre and are walking down the sidewalk, with the sidewalk facing behind them. After they bump into General Alcazar and Tintin realises that it is him, it is suddenly the main road that is behind them. (00:01:35)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Revealing mistake: When Tintin and Haddock bump into General Alcazar, after Tintin says "General Alcazar", the shot cuts to Alcazar saying "Ah, yes" in a confused manner. When he is saying this, there is a man walking in the background, about to walk out of frame. Just as the man is about to exit the frame, he vanishes. (00:01:45)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: After bumping into Alcazar, when Tintin says "the Captain and I were just talking", a woman can be seen walking along the sidewalk across the street in the far background and is about to exit the frame. The shot cuts back to Alcazar, but when the shot cuts back to Tintin, the same woman can be seen walking past the same ground a second time. (00:01:50)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: When Tintin shows the man at the desk at the hotel the drawing of Alcazar, Tintin's coat sleeve is not the regular beige, but a dark green sleeve. The notepad also goes from being held vertically to horizontally. (00:02:35)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: When Tintin is pouring Haddock a cup of coffee, the liquid shown when first being poured is dark, but when Tintin is pouring coffee for himself, the same liquid is much lighter. (00:05:10)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Revealing mistake: When the doorbell rings, Tintin and Haddock go to answer it and Calculus, on his roller blades, stands up and falls back down again. Snowy, under the couch, is peeking his head out and moves back into the couch when Calculus falls. When he does this, Snowy's ears pass through the couch. (00:05:50)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Revealing mistake: When Thomson and Thompson are questioning Tintin about General Alcazar, there is a shot where Thompson asks Tintin "That's all, is it?" and the shot pans over to Thomson asking "And what did he tell you?" When the shot is on Thomson, it is apparent that the animation of the chair that he is sitting on is incomplete, as a section of the chair has not been fully drawn out yet. (00:07:05)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Character mistake: Tintin follows Dawson out of the hotel and notices him getting into a green car. Tintin then gets into a taxi and tells the driver "Follow that black Jaguar", instead of the green car that Dawson was shown in. (00:08:45)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Factual error: The taxi Tintin takes to follow Dawson has no writing on the front license plate. (00:09:00)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Plot hole: When Tintin is listening in on Dawson's conversation, he realises an alarm clock had been planted in his coat pocket as a prank by Abdullah. Even if he didn't see the clock in his pocket beforehand, there is no reason why he wouldn't have felt the added weight the clock would have had on the coat. (00:09:35)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Tintin and Haddock are at Oliveira's place and Oliveira is pouring Tintin a drink. The drink is visibly coloured, presumably alcohol, but in the next shot, the liquid is now water. (00:16:00)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Audio problem: When Muller yells for the pilot to fire, his mouth does not move along with the speech. He just has his mouth open and his fist in the air. (00:18:35)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 2 - S3-E2
Other mistake: After the recap from the previous episode, Tintin, Haddock and Snowy are on a boat. Tintin is shown pulling on a rope to attach a sail. The amount of rope shown near the ground is never seen extending. It remains the same length even when Tintin is pulling on it. (00:25:05)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 2 - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: When Tintin, Haddock and Skut are spotted by the cruise ship, Muller and the Captain are looking at them through binoculars. Muller is shown standing facing the ocean, holding binoculars, but in the next shot, Muller is suddenly facing with his back to the ocean, with his hands by his side. (00:29:50)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 2 - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: When Haddock breaks himself and Tintin out of the cabin, he and Tintin run out to the front deck and notice that the ship on fire. At this moment, Tintin is wearing socks and no shoes, but moments later, when Haddock suggests that they need to find a raft, Tintin suddenly has his shoes on. (00:34:05)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 2 - S3-E2
Other mistake: Tintin and Haddock discover that part of the ship is on fire and discover a group of people hiding out under the deck. Haddock then lowers a ladder, down below the deck, so that the others can climb out, but even after every single person down below decks climbs out, the fire has not extended or grown further in any way, even after the time spent letting all the people out. (00:34:50)
Chosen answer: It is a pill that makes alcohol taste disgusting.
