As Tintin reaches for the tin, the wrapper of the tin itself is a very bright yellow and the words "Crabe Extra" are very large.

Revealing mistake: Mueller hops off his horse and tells Tintin (as Amed) to hold the horse and tells him he will be back in a moment. Throughout the entirety of this shot, the colour of the blanket on Mueller's horse constantly flickers between several frames. As Mueller gets off the horse, the blanket is dark teal, then Mueller hands the rein to his horse to Tintin and the blanket suddenly flickers to dark orange and also dark teal near the bottom. Tintin jumps off the horse and the blanket suddenly flickers back to dark teal again. (00:13:25)
Red Rackham's Treasure - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: When Tintin and Haddock discover Calculus had been sleeping in one of the lifeboats, he wakes up and tells him he slept rather badly last night.

Red Rackham's Treasure - S1-E5
Other mistake: Professor Calculus brings the parts for two shark submarines (he stated in the scene prior he would bring two) to the docks in two separate crates. The crates he uses to hold the submarine parts in would not big enough to hold the entirety of the submarine. The crates shown are only a couple of feet wide and even smaller in height, but the shark submarines shown in the episode are much larger than the overall size of the crate. (00:06:50)
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.
