The Broken Ear: Part 1 - S2-E2

Other mistake: The villains lower a rope with a noose in it. They place it over a man's beard they believe to be Tintin. The noose is not tight yet, but it suddenly is when they pull on the man's beard, with no way for them to tighten it. (00:17:45)

The Calculus Affair: Part 1 - S1-E12

Other mistake: When the taxi gets hit, the number plate reads "GE 7051" on the back of the car, but when the taxi falls into the water, the number plate reads "GE 7054" on the front of the car. The number plate should be the same on both ends. (00:14:55)

The Calculus Affair: Part 1 - S1-E12

Other mistake: One of the villains says "With pleasure" after looking at Calculus and his radio. The other villain has a cigarette in his mouth. In this shot, you can see the cigarette has two ends to it. The edge of it cannot be ash because that would have been washed away in the rain. (00:03:15)

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

Other mistake: Whilst examining the wrapper with "Karaboudjan" written on it, the "K" is a centimeter away from the letter "A" and all the other letters are about a fifth of a centimeter away from the letters. Tintin then places a magnifying glass above the word "Karaboudjan." After doing this, the "K" that was a centimeter away from the "A" is now a fifth of a centimeter away from the "A", but none of the other letters seem to have changed distances. This all occurs within the same shot. (00:05:15)

The Blue Lotus: Part 2 - S1-E9

Other mistake: There is an outside shot of the police station. There are several "+" signs on a brick wall in front of the wall to the building. However, not one part of the wall or window is seen through the "+" signs on the wall in front of the building. Just some green wall. (00:32:35)

Cigars of the Pharaoh: Part 1 - S1-E6

Other mistake: The detectives run away from a goat that chases after them. If you watch their movements and the goat's movements, you will see the goat isn't running in the direction they are running in just after they jump over a sand hill. (00:15:25)

Red Rackham's Treasure - S1-E5

Other mistake: When Haddock walks over to Tintin whilst the boat is on the docks, a crate is lifted. The X that is written on the crate disappears from shot when the crate is lifted, revealing it was not animated in each frame of the shot. (00:06:45)
