The Seven Crystal Balls: Part 2 - S3-E4

Factual error: When Tintin begins climbing the tree to see if the intruder is hiding, he jumps up and grabs one of the tree branches. The branch is practically unaffected by the Tintin's added weight. There is no sound heard when the branch is grabbed hold of, nor are there any vibrations made to the branch when Tintin grabs it.

Continuity mistake: Tintin, Haddock and Snowy are searching for the intruder and the intruder is pointing a gun at them from inside a shed. From the inside shot, Tintin is walking past a tree with a small branch hanging from the side of it. When Tintin is shot at, he is suddenly standing right beside the tree. (00:30:00)

Factual error: When the intruder fires at Tintin, the shot misses him, but instead hits a tree branch. The tree branch is blown off, but the tree that the branch was hanging from has no visible damage. If the bullet had hit the branch and it flew off, there would still be a stump visible from where the branch had snapped off. If the bullet hit the tree and this caused the branch to fly away, there would be a visible bullet mark on the tree. Regardless, there is no way the tree would not have any visible damage done towards it. (00:30:00)

Revealing mistake: When the detective is phoning the police about the black sedan, a man sitting at a desk is writing the details. He is writing on four lines of paper, but after writing the first three lines, he is just writing over the third line for a second time and the fourth line of writing suddenly appears on the paper.

Character mistake: Tintin mentions that they passed a beige car on their way to the road block with four people inside. First, they did not pass this car. The car stopped at the road block, and after they were asked about the black sedan, they drove away. Tintin, Haddock and the detective then arrived at the road block in their car, coming in from a different lane. Second, the car that was stopped at the road block only had three people inside, not four. (00:32:20)

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)
