The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: During the conversation between Daws and Kuraki, Kuraki tells Daws to tell him about the Karaboudjan and Daws then tears off part of the Crabe Extra wrapper and begins to write "Karaboudjan" on the wrapper. In this shot, the edge of the split in the tear on the Crabe Extra tin is located between the words "Crabe" and "Extra." When Daws throws the tin in the bin, the edge of the split in the tear is now located between the "A" and the "B" in "Crabe." (00:01:55)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In order for Daws to tell Kuraki about the Karaboudjan, he tears off part of the wrapper from the Crabe Extra tin. The style of the tear changes constantly throughout this scene. The tear in the tin starts out as a tear with various ridges in the tearing. A further two shots later, the part of the tear near the end is now a lot shorter. Then a further three shots after this, the ridges in the tear have now became visibly smoother. Then when Daws chucks the can in the box, it is now just a simple tear through the wrapper. (00:01:55)

Continuity mistake: When Daws takes the Crabe Extra tin out of his pocket, we can see that the tin is almost completely open and the very edge of the lid is located on the right hand side of the tin. After Daws has torn off part of the wrapper and written Karaboudjan on it, three bad guys appear out of nowhere and Daws throws the can in the box, the very edge of the lid on the can is now located on the left hand side of the tin.

Other mistake: The Crabe Extra tin Daws had stuffed in his pocket is about four to five inches long, possibly more and the tin has been opened, increasing the length another two inches, and Daws still had to stuff his whole hand and whole wrist into his pocket and keep moving it around to retrieve the tin. If anything, he'd be lucky enough to have fit the tin in his pocket anyway. (00:01:45)

Continuity mistake: When Daws walks up to Kuraki, Kuraki asks Daws that if he got the Crabe Extra tin. At this moment, Kuraki's face looks seemingly normal and perfectly fine. The shot then cuts over to Daws taking out the Crabe Extra tin from his pocket, but when the shot cuts back over to Kuraki, his face is suddenly a lot paler. (00:01:40)

Continuity mistake: Kuraki walks through the cloud of fog and Daws is shown to be noticing this from the other side of the street. As soon as he finishes walking out of the fog cloud, he is shown to be standing right next to a lamp post and continues on walking. In the following shot after, that shows Daws looking at him, at least 2 - 3 steps are heard from Kuraki walking, but when the shot cuts back to Kuraki, he is still standing next to the lamp post.

Continuity mistake: After Kuraki walks through the cloud of fog, Daws is shown hiding behind a building. In the big close-up shot of Daws looking of the street, Daws is shown to be tugging onto the collar on his coat and pulling it forward. In the sudden shot afterwards, that shows the camera behind Daws, the collar on his coat is suddenly sitting there freely, not being tugged on at all. (00:01:30)

Revealing mistake: After Tintin, Haddock and Calculus meet Colonel Alvarez, they are seen driving through downtown in a car. Watch the people, buildings and posters on the sidewalk. Each time the shot cuts, it is always the exact same people. Exact same buildings. And exact same posters on the sidewalk. Also, as Calculus starts talking, the same thing has been done again, except the background is different. (00:07:05)
