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?"

Trivia: There is a mistake pointing out that the newspaper at the end is a flipped shot. If you flip it the right way round, you will see on the right hand side of the article the word "Spielberg" on one of the lines, a reference to director Steven Spielberg. Steven Spielberg went on to direct the Tintin movie Secret of the Unicorn in 2011. (00:43:35)
