Destination Moon: Part 1 - S3-E9
Continuity mistake: To launch the model rocket into outer space, Tintin pushes a lever with a green handle. Once the control tower is told to engage the nuclear motor, the first lever that Tintin had pushed is now a blue lever and the second lever that Tintin is now holding onto is a grey lever. Two shots after that, both the levers are now green. (00:16:00 - 00:16:35)
Destination Moon: Part 1 - S3-E9
Revealing mistake: When the countdown to engage the nuclear reactor on the model rocket has reached zero, Tintin pushes the second lever. It is apparent that Tintin is not actually holding onto a lever, but merely the animation is just drawn in a way to make it appear that he is. The green ball shown on top of the lever is not in the shape of a ball, but is really just the colour green that has been filled in through the gap between Tintin's thumb and finger. The lever doesn't even resemble a ball shape as it should. (00:16:40)
Destination Moon: Part 1 - S3-E9
Continuity mistake: When Tintin sees the detonator for the rocket, the two levers controlling the rocket are seen behind him. The levers are both level with each other, but once Tintin has rewired the detonator, the levers are in two different positions. (00:20:00)
Destination Moon: Part 1 - S3-E9
Continuity mistake: When the car taking Tintin, Haddock and Snowy to meet with Calculus leaves the airport, the number plate is 1941, but when they are welcomed after entering the base, the number plate is now 1491. (00:02:10 - 00:03:45)
Destination Moon: Part 1 - S3-E9
Continuity mistake: When Tintin discovers the shadow approaching the ventilation shaft, the shadow is first seen with his hand passing over the stain beneath the shaft. When Tintin gets a closer look, the hand of the shadow is yet to have his hand pass over the stain. (00:11:30)
Destination Moon: Part 1 - S3-E9
Revealing mistake: When the radar is telling the control station that they are standing by, in the background outside, there is a mark shown on the ground outside that appears to be flickering by appearing and disappearing between frames. (00:15:20)
Destination Moon: Part 1 - S3-E9
Continuity mistake: When Tintin tells the man outside the ventilation shaft to put his hands up, he puts his finger about half way down the man's back to imitate a gun. In the next shot, Tintin's finger is much lower down. (00:11:40)
Destination Moon: Part 1 - S3-E9
Continuity mistake: When the two men are surveying the rocket movements, one of them is fiddling with one of the buttons. There is an arrow on the button, pointing towards an upwards position, but in the next shot, the arrow is pointing more towards the left. (00:17:55)
Destination Moon: Part 1 - S3-E9
Revealing mistake: Haddock asks Tintin if he can control the rocket's nuclear reactor and takes hold of the lever. It is apparent that he is not holding onto the lever. He is merely just miming the actions of grabbing onto the lever, when the lever is shown just below where he is holding. (00:18:40)
