The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Tintin places the broken model Unicorn back on the desk, the middle mast has broken off. Yet when Haddock walks in to notice the model Unicorn, the mast is now intact. (00:04:50)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Tintin says to the man with the Unicorn "would you take $20?" there are people behind him. The scene then cuts to the Unicorn guy. In the next shot, when Mr. Sakharine appears, the people behind him are completely different people. (00:03:35)
The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Tintin throws the plank of wood in the upper window, the planks of wood take up the whole window. In the next shot of the window, the planks of wood are at the bottom of the window. (00:15:30)
The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Tintin is examining the back of the Crabe Extra wrapper in his apartment, the back of the wrapper keeps going from white with Karaboudjan written on it, to yellow with nothing written on it, to white with nothing written on it between shots. The writing then reappears and the back of the wrapper is white. Tintin then shades the paper with a pencil and notices the wrapper says Karaboudjan. In the next shot, all the pencil shade has disappeared. (00:05:10)
The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: After Daws has been killed, the Crabe Extra tin is in a box with lots of other stuff. There is also a coat hanger at the back of the box. However, when Snowy dives into the box the next day, the coat hanger is no longer there. (00:02:30)
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)
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.
