Revealing mistake: When Thomson and Thompson are questioning Tintin about General Alcazar, there is a shot where Thompson asks Tintin "That's all, is it?" and the shot pans over to Thomson asking "And what did he tell you?" When the shot is on Thomson, it is apparent that the animation of the chair that he is sitting on is incomplete, as a section of the chair has not been fully drawn out yet. (00:07:05)

Flight 714: Part 2 - S2-E13

Other mistake: In order for Rastapopoulos to break into the secret passageway, he places chunks of dynamite around the idol, then lights a fuse for each individual chunk of dynamite, all burning at the same time. The fuse for the dynamite near the middle of the idol is significantly shorter than the fuses for the others. Despite this, it still takes the exact same amount of time for all three to burn down.

Flight 714: Part 2 - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: At the start, keep an eye on the tape strips over Carreidas' mouth. There is a vertical piece of tape directly over Carreidas' mouth, followed by another piece of tape from the top of his right cheek down to the bottom of his left cheek positioned at a sideways angle, followed by another piece of tape from the top of his left cheek down to the bottom of his right cheek also at a sideways angle. All three strips of tape are meeting with each other at a midway point by his mouth. However, when Haddock says "Come on" to Carreidas and Krollspell when they are under fire later on, the tape strips positioned sideways now meet each other at around Carreidas' left cheek area, further away from his mouth. (00:25:45 - 00:26:40)

Revealing mistake: When Tintin and Oliviera da Figueria are talking with the guard at the castle door, the guard sneezes and Oliviera takes out a handkerchief saying "Some beautiful handkerchiefs."
