The Calculus Affair: Part 1 - S1-E12

Revealing mistake: The villains stand in front of Marlinspike Hall. The shot after a close-up of their feet shows the clouds along with a storm. Look to the lower left corner and you will see part of the grey cloud doesn't have any color on it, like the animation cell has been scratched. (00:02:50)

Other mistake: One of the villains says "With pleasure" after looking at Calculus and his radio. The other villain has a cigarette in his mouth. In this shot, you can see the cigarette has two ends to it. The edge of it cannot be ash because that would have been washed away in the rain. (00:03:15)

Continuity mistake: After the window shatters, we can see some of the glass still remains. A few minutes later, a man arrives at the house. When he goes to get his coat from Nestor, the glass that remained in the window has vanished. We know it's the same window because the glass is still on the floor. (00:03:50 - 00:06:00)

Continuity mistake: When Tintin and Haddock arrive at the hotel, they start talking to the guy at the counter. They ask about Calculus and the guy turns his head to the keys.

Other mistake: When the taxi gets hit, the number plate reads "GE 7051" on the back of the car, but when the taxi falls into the water, the number plate reads "GE 7054" on the front of the car. The number plate should be the same on both ends. (00:14:55)

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)
