Continuity mistake: When Haddock trips over Skut's bag, he lands face down on Skut's chest. When he trips and lands, both Haddock and Skut have pale light skin, but in the next shot, their skin is suddenly more tanned. (00:02:20)
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Carreidas and Mr. Spaulding walk over to Tintin, Haddock and Skut, in the shot where Skut says "Mr. Carreidas, these are my friends", the money that Haddock previously placed into Carreidas' hat is sticking out of it and a portion of the note is tucked into Carreidas' hat. In the next shot, only the top right corner is tucked into into Carreidas' hat. (00:03:15)

Continuity mistake: After Snowy runs away, two gunmen grab ahold of Tintin, restraining him. As Tintin is yelling "Cowards! Murderers!", the gunman on the left is holding Tintin's upper arm with his right hand. The shot cuts to a closer angle of Tintin and there is no sign of the gunman's right hand. (00:11:00)
Continuity mistake: When Tintin and the others are locked in the room, Tintin looks out the window, assuming he thought he heard Snowy. On the left hand side of the window is a plant. A few minutes later, Snowy arrives and the plant is still there, but when Tintin throws Snowy out the window telling him to wait, the plant has vanished. (00:13:55 - 00:16:20)
Continuity mistake: Captain Haddock places three strips of tape over Rastapopoulos', Carreidas' and Krollspell's mouths. The last piece of tape over Rastapopoulos' mouth is a strip that goes from the top of his left cheek down to the bottom of his right cheek. A few seconds later, as they leave the room and go outside, it goes from the top of his right cheek down to the bottom of his left cheek. (00:20:35)
Continuity mistake: At the start, keep an eye on the tape strips over Carreidas' mouth. There is a vertical piece of tape directly over Carreidas' mouth, followed by another piece of tape from the top of his right cheek down to the bottom of his left cheek positioned at a sideways angle, followed by another piece of tape from the top of his left cheek down to the bottom of his right cheek also at a sideways angle. All three strips of tape are meeting with each other at a midway point by his mouth. However, when Haddock says "Come on" to Carreidas and Krollspell when they are under fire later on, the tape strips positioned sideways now meet each other at around Carreidas' left cheek area, further away from his mouth. (00:25:45 - 00:26:40)

(00:33:25)
