Prisoners of the Sun: Part 1 - S3-E5
Revealing mistake: When Tintin is swimming back to the boat after escaping the ship, Haddock is quickly rowing back and forth to reach him in time. As Haddock rows, the bars used to place the oars through can be seen moving back and forth, along with the movements of the oars, even though the bars are supposed to remain still during the oar movements. There are also frames from this shot where the bars vanish from the frame entirely as Haddock rows. (00:07:25)
Prisoners of the Sun: Part 1 - S3-E5
Other mistake: After the man on the ship tells Tintin that Calculus' punishment is death, he yells for Alonzo, and Tintin then punches him. When the man is punched, it is apparent that Tintin's fist never even enters the frame. There appears to be a flash effect indicating that he had been punched, but Tintin's fist is never shown hitting him. (00:07:05)
The Castafiore Emerald: Part 1 - S3-E7
Revealing mistake: When Castafiore is showing everyone the Castafiore emerald, after she says "He named it in my honour", the shot cuts to a close-up of her hand, saying "The Castafiore Emerald." At the start of the shot, she has two rings on two fingers, then she turns her hand and the two rings vanish from her fingers entirely. (00:09:00)
The Castafiore Emerald: Part 2 - S3-E8
Revealing mistake: When they are watching the news broadcast on Calculus' high definition television set, after the news broadcaster mentions Castafiore's stolen jewel, Castafiore says "He's talking about me." The mole on her cheek appears and vanishes from her face whilst she is saying the line, revealing a slip-up in the animation. (00:35:00)
Destination Moon: Part 1 - S3-E9
Continuity mistake: When Tintin sees the detonator for the rocket, the two levers controlling the rocket are seen behind him. The levers are both level with each other, but once Tintin has rewired the detonator, the levers are in two different positions. (00:20:00)
Destination Moon: Part 2 - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: The plane that lands in Syldavia has a yellow stripe when it is first landing, but has a blue stripe when the passengers are exiting the plane. (00:25:05)
Destination Moon: Part 2 - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: When Wolff is explaining to Haddock that the space suit will be lighter in space, Tintin and Snowy are standing in front of Haddock, but when they are shown on the monitor in the next shot, Tintin and Snowy are standing more beside Haddock. (00:26:05)
Destination Moon: Part 2 - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: When Tintin, Haddock and Calculus are going up in the elevator, the three are standing side by side, but in the next shot, Calculus is suddenly standing in front of Tintin and Haddock. (00:31:05)
Destination Moon: Part 2 - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: Calculus is showing Tintin and Haddock the living quarters of the rocket. Haddock has a red button on the back of his space suit, which becomes a grey button once he is climbing down to the next deck below. (00:31:50)
Destination Moon: Part 2 - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: When Calculus is showing Tintin and Haddock the airlocks in the rocket, there are three levers shown, two of which are level with each other. Once Calculus has been told to return to the centre, the two levers that were level with each are now in two different positions. (00:32:15)
Explorers on the Moon: Part 1 - S3-E11
Continuity mistake: When the crates are being lowered onto the moon, the antenna on Tintin's space suit is missing. (00:20:35)
Explorers on the Moon: Part 1 - S3-E11
Other mistake: Haddock is lowering crates onto the moon and looks over to see Thomson and Thompson, whilst they are heard playing around off-screen. In this shot, Haddock's antenna cannot be seen through his helmet, even though the helmet should be transparent. (00:20:40)
Explorers on the Moon: Part 2 - S3-E12
Audio problem: When Calculus is telling Tintin via the radio that he, Haddock and the detectives are headed out to a nearby mountain range, he can be seen inside the tank as he is communicating with Tintin, but his mouth is never shown moving. (00:26:00)
Explorers on the Moon: Part 2 - S3-E12
Continuity mistake: When Wolff is telling Tintin he prepared a snack, Tintin asks if he can go get it. He is holding a screwdriver at a slightly slanted angle when he asks, but in the next shot, he is holding it in an upright position. (00:26:35)
Explorers on the Moon: Part 2 - S3-E12
Continuity mistake: In the tank, Haddock removes his helmet and he starts banging his head due to the bumpy moon surface. The shot cuts to an angle of the tank driving and the helmet has suddenly reappeared on his head. (00:26:50)
Explorers on the Moon: Part 2 - S3-E12
Revealing mistake: On Earth, in the shot of the rocket making its landing, the booster ignition can be seen passing over the edge of the booster, and over part of the rocket. (00:41:10)
Explorers on the Moon: Part 2 - S3-E12
Continuity mistake: When driving to the landing pad, the number plate is shown to have fairly thin style numbering, but later in the scene, when the car is shown through the view of the binoculars, the numbering on the plate is much thicker. (00:41:05)
Destination Moon: Part 1 - S3-E9
Continuity mistake: When the car taking Tintin, Haddock and Snowy to meet with Calculus leaves the airport, the number plate is 1941, but when they are welcomed after entering the base, the number plate is now 1491. (00:02:10 - 00:03:45)
Destination Moon: Part 1 - S3-E9
Continuity mistake: When Tintin discovers the shadow approaching the ventilation shaft, the shadow is first seen with his hand passing over the stain beneath the shaft. When Tintin gets a closer look, the hand of the shadow is yet to have his hand pass over the stain. (00:11:30)
Destination Moon: Part 1 - S3-E9
Revealing mistake: When the radar is telling the control station that they are standing by, in the background outside, there is a mark shown on the ground outside that appears to be flickering by appearing and disappearing between frames. (00:15:20)
Chosen answer: If Hector was seriously intent on removing King Ottokar's scepter from the glass cage holding it and launching it through the window with the camera, then Hector would have been forced to knock out the two guards so they would not have interfered with Hector's plan as soon as he removed the scepter from the glass. As for Hector, himself, was explained when Tintin was explaining how Hector stole the scepter. Tintin placed a twig inside the camera and it launched out of the camera. Hector would have placed the scepter inside of the camera, and would have been knocked unconscious due to the spring effect created when the scepter had been launched.
