Revealing mistake: Mueller hops off his horse and tells Tintin (as Amed) to hold the horse and tells him he will be back in a moment. Throughout the entirety of this shot, the colour of the blanket on Mueller's horse constantly flickers between several frames. As Mueller gets off the horse, the blanket is dark teal, then Mueller hands the rein to his horse to Tintin and the blanket suddenly flickers to dark orange and also dark teal near the bottom. Tintin jumps off the horse and the blanket suddenly flickers back to dark teal again. (00:13:25)

Revealing mistake: The Emir is always shown wearing a black robe with a yellow stripe down each sleeve. When the Emir is telling Tintin it was Bab El Ehr who kidnapped his son, there is a portion of the yellow strip next to the cane he is holding around his elbow, that keeps flickering from yellow to black and back to yellow again. This occurs three times in one shot. (00:27:15)

Revealing mistake: When Tintin and Oliviera da Figueria are talking with the guard at the castle door, the guard sneezes and Oliviera takes out a handkerchief saying "Some beautiful handkerchiefs." When Oliviera finishes taking out the handkerchief, as he says "Some", a weird mark appears on the screen, right where the handkerchief is located. This is visible for only one frame but it can still be noticed. (00:32:00)
