The Blue Lotus: Part 1 - S1-E8

Plot hole: When the Chinese man who visits Tintin goes crazy from the same type of dart that was shot at Doctor Sarcophagus, he tells the guard to go to the Maharajah's son. About 9 seconds later, they are seen bringing the boy back inside. There wouldn't have been enough time for them to get all the way to the ground considering they were a floor above them a few seconds ago. (00:03:05)

The Blue Lotus: Part 1 - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: The car that shoots at Tintin is about a foot away from him in the shot that shows Tintin walking. In the following shot, the car starts to accelerate, which can only mean the car is now way past Tintin. But the gunman shoots Tintin from a horizontal angle, right next to him. (00:06:05)

Trivia: There is a mistake pointing out that the newspaper at the end is a flipped shot. If you flip it the right way round, you will see on the right hand side of the article the word "Spielberg" on one of the lines, a reference to director Steven Spielberg. Steven Spielberg went on to direct the Tintin movie Secret of the Unicorn in 2011. (00:43:35)
