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)

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)

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.

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)

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)
