The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Tintin and Haddock exit a movie theatre and are walking down the sidewalk, with the sidewalk facing behind them. After they bump into General Alcazar and Tintin realises that it is him, it is suddenly the main road that is behind them. (00:01:35)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Revealing mistake: When Tintin and Haddock bump into General Alcazar, after Tintin says "General Alcazar", the shot cuts to Alcazar saying "Ah, yes" in a confused manner. When he is saying this, there is a man walking in the background, about to walk out of frame. Just as the man is about to exit the frame, he vanishes. (00:01:45)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: After bumping into Alcazar, when Tintin says "the Captain and I were just talking", a woman can be seen walking along the sidewalk across the street in the far background and is about to exit the frame. The shot cuts back to Alcazar, but when the shot cuts back to Tintin, the same woman can be seen walking past the same ground a second time. (00:01:50)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: When Tintin shows the man at the desk at the hotel the drawing of Alcazar, Tintin's coat sleeve is not the regular beige, but a dark green sleeve. The notepad also goes from being held vertically to horizontally. (00:02:35)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: When Tintin is pouring Haddock a cup of coffee, the liquid shown when first being poured is dark, but when Tintin is pouring coffee for himself, the same liquid is much lighter. (00:05:10)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Revealing mistake: When the doorbell rings, Tintin and Haddock go to answer it and Calculus, on his roller blades, stands up and falls back down again. Snowy, under the couch, is peeking his head out and moves back into the couch when Calculus falls. When he does this, Snowy's ears pass through the couch. (00:05:50)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Revealing mistake: When Thomson and Thompson are questioning Tintin about General Alcazar, there is a shot where Thompson asks Tintin "That's all, is it?" and the shot pans over to Thomson asking "And what did he tell you?" When the shot is on Thomson, it is apparent that the animation of the chair that he is sitting on is incomplete, as a section of the chair has not been fully drawn out yet. (00:07:05)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Character mistake: Tintin follows Dawson out of the hotel and notices him getting into a green car. Tintin then gets into a taxi and tells the driver "Follow that black Jaguar", instead of the green car that Dawson was shown in. (00:08:45)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Factual error: The taxi Tintin takes to follow Dawson has no writing on the front license plate. (00:09:00)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Plot hole: When Tintin is listening in on Dawson's conversation, he realises an alarm clock had been planted in his coat pocket as a prank by Abdullah. Even if he didn't see the clock in his pocket beforehand, there is no reason why he wouldn't have felt the added weight the clock would have had on the coat. (00:09:35)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Tintin and Haddock are at Oliveira's place and Oliveira is pouring Tintin a drink. The drink is visibly coloured, presumably alcohol, but in the next shot, the liquid is now water. (00:16:00)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Audio problem: When Muller yells for the pilot to fire, his mouth does not move along with the speech. He just has his mouth open and his fist in the air. (00:18:35)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 2 - S3-E2
Other mistake: After the recap from the previous episode, Tintin, Haddock and Snowy are on a boat. Tintin is shown pulling on a rope to attach a sail. The amount of rope shown near the ground is never seen extending. It remains the same length even when Tintin is pulling on it. (00:25:05)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 2 - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: When Tintin, Haddock and Skut are spotted by the cruise ship, Muller and the Captain are looking at them through binoculars. Muller is shown standing facing the ocean, holding binoculars, but in the next shot, Muller is suddenly facing with his back to the ocean, with his hands by his side. (00:29:50)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 2 - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: When Haddock breaks himself and Tintin out of the cabin, he and Tintin run out to the front deck and notice that the ship on fire. At this moment, Tintin is wearing socks and no shoes, but moments later, when Haddock suggests that they need to find a raft, Tintin suddenly has his shoes on. (00:34:05)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 2 - S3-E2
Other mistake: Tintin and Haddock discover that part of the ship is on fire and discover a group of people hiding out under the deck. Haddock then lowers a ladder, down below the deck, so that the others can climb out, but even after every single person down below decks climbs out, the fire has not extended or grown further in any way, even after the time spent letting all the people out. (00:34:50)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 2 - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: When the submarine fires on the cargo ship, Haddock yells "Full speed ahead" and pulls back the lever controlling the speed, but the lever snaps off, leaving it positioned at the SLOW sign, putting the ship in reverse. A few shots later, when Haddock puts a screwdriver against where the lever is place, it is suddenly positioned towards the HALF sign. (00:40:20)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 2 - S3-E2
Audio problem: After the submarine surrenders, Rastapopoulos receives a call telling him he better come to the bridge right away. Rastapopoulos then says "All right, I'm coming", but his mouth doesn't move. (00:41:10)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 2 - S3-E2
Audio problem: When the news reporter is talking about the Emir's victory, he says that Rastapopoulos is still missing at sea and is presumed drowned, but his lips do not move along with the speech. (00:43:05)
The Seven Crystal Balls: Part 1 - S3-E3
Character mistake: When Sanders is finishing the translation, the last sentence that he writes down is "Over the mountains and beyond the sea", but the sentence shown on the paper is "les mois et les monts"; this is French for "The months and the mountains." The real translation for "Over the mountains and beyond the sea" is "Sur les montagnes et au-delĂ de la mer." Even if the translation is carrying on from the previous line, a majority of the final sentence would still be incorrect in the translation. (00:02:25)
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.
