Continuity mistake: Just after Haddock and Snowy fall to the rear end of the plane, the pilot gets up and hits Tintin over the head with a wine bottle. Tintin is then knocked unconscious and the plane is out of control. Just after Haddock yells out "Tintin! Tintin!" and the shot cuts to an exterior shot of the plane going out of control, we can see the plane is no longer in the storm, instead in clear blue skies. A few seconds later, as the pilot makes for the airlock to jump out with the parachute, the plane is suddenly back to being in the storm. (00:26:05)

Continuity mistake: When Tintin is escorted to Lieutenant Delcourt's office, the very first shot from the interior shows there to be a radio on his desk with an ash tray and pipe inside the tray. The first shot shows the mouth piece of the pipe to be facing away from the radio in a 3 o'clock direction. But by the next shot, as Delcourt says "Ah, there you are. Come in", the mouth piece of the pipe is now facing away from the radio in a 2 o'clock direction. (00:29:45)

Continuity mistake: When Haddock asks the man at the harbor if the Karaboudjan went down what was it doing at the harbor, the man replies "This here's the Djebel Amilah. Can't you read" and walks out of the shot. As the man walks out of shot, he is shown walking several feet away from Haddock, almost two meters. The shot cuts to one of the Karaboudjan crew members, but when the shot cuts back to Haddock saying, "You mutinous deck rat. Tell them the real name of this ship", the man is suddenly only a few feet away from him. (00:35:05)
