Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Revealing mistake: Just after Tintin says "The last I heard he was hiding in the jungle trying to organize the resistance", a shot is shown of the plane window flying over the clouds with a shadow on the clouds. The plane flies over a cloud with part of it missing and for one frame only, the shadow is seen going over the part of the cloud that was missing. (00:05:40)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Revealing mistake: The shot prior to the plane landing shows a village of people where some of them are in the background watching the plane. You'll see a blonde guy in the foreground with messed up elbow animation. It keeps jiggling all over the place. (00:05:55)

Audio problem: When the plane lands at the airport, Snowy is running down the steps and barking. His mouth is never shown moving at all when he barks. (00:06:10)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Revealing mistake: After Tintin, Haddock and Calculus meet Colonel Alvarez, they are seen driving through downtown in a car. Watch the people, buildings and posters on the sidewalk. Each time the shot cuts, it is always the exact same people. Exact same buildings. And exact same posters on the sidewalk. Also, as Calculus starts talking, the same thing has been done again, except the background is different. (00:07:05)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8

Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Revealing mistake: After Haddock snaps the door to the window, the big guy enters the room pointing a gun at Haddock. The shot then cuts to Haddock with fruit all over the place. Look to the left of screen and you'll an apple laid on top of another apple completely unnaturally. (00:10:00)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Other mistake: After Manolo has told Haddock that the windows don't open, Manolo goes to leave and slips on a banana placed in the doorway. The banana's position in the doorway would not be possible. The banana landed on the floor after Haddock fell over the table in the hotel room and spilled the contents of the fruit bowl all of the room and then Manolo entered the room a second later. When Manolo opened the door, he would have pushed anything in front of the door out of the way. (00:10:25)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: When the big guy steps on the banana, its position on the floor changes between shots. From the close-up, it's horizontal. From the wider shot, it's vertical. (00:10:25)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: The big guy slips on a banana, causing him to throw a gun through the window, smashing it. Later, after Pablo finishes his conversation with Tintin, the next shot of CCTV shows the window completely intact. (00:10:30 - 00:14:55)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: Whilst Tintin and Haddock are discussing how to escape the hotel, a record player is playing so no-one who is watching the conversation can hear them. When Pablo arrives with the drinks and sets them on the table, the record player is visible in the background and not moving, though the music is still heard. Pablo then goes to turn up the music, and the record player is suddenly moving again. (00:12:40)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Other mistake: When Pablo goes to turn up the music on the record player, his hand is moving around the volume control, but the volume control itself is never shown moving along with Pablo's hand. (00:12:45)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 1 - S2-E8
Revealing mistake: After Pablo has finished telling Tintin, Haddock and Calculus about General Alcazar's plan, he leaves and the shots cuts to the three being watched on CCTV. Although the footage is in black and white, there is some wine shown in one of the glasses that is coloured red. (00:14:55)

Tintin and the Picaros: Part 2 - S2-E9
Other mistake: A monkey throws a bottle of whiskey from a tree which then lands on Haddock's head. When they show the bottle on Haddock's head, the bottle is shown stuck to his head, but there is nothing there actually making the bottle stick. (00:25:35)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 2 - S2-E9
Plot hole: When the helicopter flies over the jungle, Haddock inadvertently walks in view of the helicopter and the pilot of the helicopter notices him, assuming it to be a Picaro. Haddock then trips into the river, but despite being watched by the pilot of the helicopter the entire time, the helicopter pilot doesn't notice him falling into the river and instead assumes he just disappeared. (00:26:20)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 2 - S2-E9
Revealing mistake: When Haddock walks in view of the helicopter pilot, it cuts to an interior shot of the helicopter where the pilot says "What's that? A Picaro by the river?" A couple of shots after this, there is another interior shot of the helicopter where the pilot then says "Caramba. He's disappeared." In both of the two interior shots, it is noticeable that the same footage has been used in both the shots as the exact same land is outside the helicopter is in both of the shots. The only difference in the second shot is that Haddock has been removed. (00:26:20)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 2 - S2-E9
Audio problem: After the helicopter flies away from the jungle, Tintin over runs to Haddock. As he begins running over, he says "Captain" though his mouth doesn't move. (00:26:35)

Other mistake: When Haddock is in the lake, he is sinking, struggling to stay above the water and the water is even going up to his neck area. Tintin then goes into the lake to fetch Haddock and then stands in the exact same area where Haddock is up to his neck in the water, but the water only goes as far as Tintin's knees. (00:26:40)
Tintin and the Picaros: Part 2 - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: When Tintin grabs Haddock in the lake, Tintin pulls him up by holding onto his arms. The shot then changes and Tintin is suddenly holding Haddock by the upper waist. (00:26:40)
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.
