The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3

Other mistake: When the pick pocket is listening to the radio at the beginning, he cuts right through the middle of a paragraph in a newspaper. Yet when we see paragraph cut out and in the journal, the paragraphs are in full sentences. If it were the right way round we'd see a half line on the paragraph. (00:01:30)

Other mistake: When Tintin discovers the scroll under his drawers, he begins reading the French words on the scroll in English. He starts reading out by saying "Three brothers joined." This sentence translated into French would be "Trois freres rejoint." However, this is not what is shown on the scroll. The sentence shown on the scroll appears to be "Trois freres unys." (00:09:20)

Other mistake: After discovering the scroll, Tintin begins reading it out. The words on the paper, the words Tintin is saying, and where Tintin's eyes move as he read the paper don't seem to match up. Tintin first says "Three brothers joined", which covers the first half of the line, but the next shot then shows his eyes reading at the very end of the line. Tintin then says "Three unicorns in company sailing in the moon day sun will speak", and his eyes are then reading across the second line, but the start of the sentence is shown on the second half of the first line of the scroll.

Other mistake: When Tintin is reading out the scroll, the scroll is in French and Tintin is reading it out in English. The first word on the second line is "conserve", which means "preserve" in English. The word "preserve" however is never spoken when Tintin reads out the scroll. (00:09:20)
