The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 2 - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: In the speedboat chase scene in Bagghar between Tintin and Allan, Allan bumps into Tintin's speedboat and Snowy is knocked into the side of the boat. The next shot shows Tintin then standing up and leaping over to Allan's boat. As soon as he lands, Allan is driving on the right hand side of the speedboat, or viewer's left hand side, then inthe shot following, Allan is now driving on the left hand side of the speedboat, or may appear to be the right hand side from the viewer's view. This shot had absolutely nothing to do with the angle of the camera. (00:42:20)
The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 2 - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: After Tintin has leapt over from the driver's seat of his speedboat to the driver's seat of Allan's, he begins a fight with him, then they dodge a bridge by ducking. From a wide angle that shows them exiting the bridge, we can see there is nothing on the back of the speedboat. A few seconds later, Allan then punches Tintin and he falls back onto the back, only now some ropes have suddenly appeared. (00:42:30)
The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 2 - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Tintin, Haddock and Kuraki get their picture taken, Haddock has his right arm around Kuraki's shoulder. In the picture of the newspaper, Haddock's arm is by his side. (00:43:25)
The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 2 - S1-E2
Other mistake: The newspaper article that features Tintin and Captain Haddock at the end of the episode is a flipped shot, as shown by the text that has been reversed. (00:43:35)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Other mistake: When the pick pocket is listening to the radio at the beginning, he cuts right through the middle of a paragraph in a newspaper. Yet when we see paragraph cut out and in the journal, the paragraphs are in full sentences. If it were the right way round we'd see a half line on the paragraph. (00:01:30)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: Tintin picks up a red book at the market which he states is a new one. At this moment, he is holding the book with the front cover facing Tintin. The shot then changes to a shot from behind Tintin, showing him paying for the book, where it switches to the back cover facing him. (00:02:15)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Other mistake: When Tintin pays for the new book at the market, his hand is placed on the spine of the book. Tintin then lowers the book towards his side and his hand is suddenly placed along the opposite end of the book. This entire mistake occurs in one shot. (00:02:15)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Tintin meets up with Thomson and Thompson at the market, the detectives have tanned skin. The shot cuts to Tintin asking the two of them "A little Sunday shopping?" and then cuts back to a shot of all three of them. In the shot where it shows all three of them, Thomson and Thompson's skin is suddenly much paler, while Tintin is darker. (00:02:25)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: Whilst at the market, Tintin meets up with the detectives Thomson and Thompson and the detective on the left says "Good to see you again." The detective on the right is holding four canes. In later shots he's holding five, then six. (00:02:25)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Thomson and Thompson mention they just happened to notice these splendid sticks, the detective on the left is holding his cane around his right wrist. Two quick cuts later and and the detective's cane is suddenly held around his left wrist. (00:02:35)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Tintin is about to buy the model Unicorn, there is an antique sale visible in the background. When Tintin says "Will you take 20 dollars?", a grandfather clock is shown, displaying 5:05. A couple of shots later, Sakharine pushes Tintin out of the way and the time suddenly changes to 2:00. (00:03:25)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: Whilst buying the model Unicorn at the market, between the time Tintin says "Will you take 20 dollars" and when he is interrupted by Sakharine, the sales in the background change entirely despite only a few seconds passing. (00:03:25)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Factual error: The man selling the Unicorn tells Tintin that he can have it for 25 dollars. Tintin is Belgian and this is in his home town; they should be using francs in that time period. (00:03:30)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Tintin says to the man with the Unicorn "would you take $20?" there are people behind him. The scene then cuts to the Unicorn guy. In the next shot, when Mr. Sakharine appears, the people behind him are completely different people. (00:03:35)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Tintin places the broken model Unicorn back on the desk, the middle mast has broken off. Yet when Haddock walks in to notice the model Unicorn, the mast is now intact. (00:04:50)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Audio problem: When Tintin walks into Sakharine's apartment, he says "Mr. Sakharine". His mouth doesn't move when he says it. (00:06:30)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Audio problem: When Tintin is in the phone booth, you can hear him turn the rotary dial, but his fingers aren't touching the dial. (00:07:50)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Factual error: The rotary dial in the phone booth has six numbers when there should be 10 numbers. (00:07:50)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: Tintin is cleaning his apartment after it had been ransacked and is hanging a painting on the wall. From the wide angle, the skyline on the painting shows a clear blue daytime skyline. The shot cuts to a closer angle of Tintin, and the painting suddenly shows a dark blue near night time skyline. (00:08:20)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Thomson and Thompson arrive at Tintin's apartment to find they have been pick pocked again, their faces go from pale to not pale between shots. (00:08:30)
