The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 2 - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Tintin, Haddock and Snowy are walking down the street, they stop walking for a moment next to a lamppost. The shadow of the post is first cast across the building next to it. About two shots afterwards, the shadow is suddenly cast on the sidewalk directly in front of it. (00:26:20)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 2 - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Thomson shows Tintin that he has had an elastic band attached to the wallet in his pocket as an attempt to catch the pickpocket. When they first use, the wallet with the elastic band is in Thomson's right pocket. In the next scene, when the pickpocket attempts to steal Thomson's wallet, it is now inside his left pocket. (00:30:20)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 2 - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Tintin, Haddock, Snowy and the detectives are back at the office after getting the pickpocket's coat and Tintin's wallet. Tintin opens his wallet and takes out the scroll inside it. When he takes out the scroll, the scroll is smooth and undamaged. He then hands the scroll to Haddock and it is suddenly tattered. (00:31:05)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 2 - S1-E4
Other mistake: Tintin is in the treasure room whilst the Bird brothers are looking for him. After the brother with the gun shoots the knight armour, Tintin is crawling around the room far behind them, and pops his head up where he can see them. About 2-3 seconds later, he is then shown as a mirror reflection the brothers are tricked into thinking is real, nowhere near his previous spot. 4 seconds after that, Tintin is hiding behind a cupboard at the other end of the room, that the brothers just quickly run by. (00:37:20)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 2 - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Tintin is in the courtyard of Marlinspike Hall and convinced he has escaped the Bird brothers. Tintin then gets whacked on the head by the butler with a long stick. In the shot where Tintin gets hit, the stick is very thick. The shot then changes to the butler saying "I got him" and the stick is suddenly much thinner. (00:39:30)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 2 - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: After Snowy bites the hand of the Bird brother with the gun, Tintin punches both of them and knocks them out. One of the brothers lands with his legs landing on the bottom half of the other brother's right leg. Captain Haddock then appears in scene and now the brother suddenly has his legs placed on the top half of both the other brother's legs. (00:40:10)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 2 - S1-E4
Character mistake: Mr. Silk has a collection of the wallets he has stolen and has sorted them on shelves by alphabetising them. Each shelf takes two letters of the alphabet, which is where the name of each owner's wallet would be placed on the shelf as shown by tags at the top of each shelf. Tintin finds Max Bird's wallet on one of the shelves and the shelf next to has a tag reading "Q-R." This implies that the shelf with Max Bird's wallet must have a tag reading "O-P" since O and P come before Q and R in the alphabet. Shouldn't Max Bird's wallet be located on a shelf with the letter "B" representing "Bird" or "M" representing "Max"? (00:42:20)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 2 - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Mr. Silk is showing Thomson and Thompson to the door whilst Tintin exits with the scrolls and Max Bird's diary. When Tintin exits Silk's room whilst saying "Mr. Silk who made the mistake, gentleman", Tintin is holding the scrolls and the wallet and nothing is sticking out of the wallet. Tintin then exits the room handing the wallet to the detectives, and there are suddenly papers sticking out of it. (00:42:45)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: Tintin picks up a red book at the market which he states is a new one. At this moment, he is holding the book with the front cover facing Tintin. The shot then changes to a shot from behind Tintin, showing him paying for the book, where it switches to the back cover facing him. (00:02:15)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Other mistake: When Tintin pays for the new book at the market, his hand is placed on the spine of the book. Tintin then lowers the book towards his side and his hand is suddenly placed along the opposite end of the book. This entire mistake occurs in one shot. (00:02:15)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Other mistake: When Tintin is reading out the scroll, the scroll is in French and Tintin is reading it out in English. The first word on the second line is "conserve", which means "preserve" in English. The word "preserve" however is never spoken when Tintin reads out the scroll. (00:09:20)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: Tintin runs up to Captain Haddock's apartment door and begins knocking on the door. When Tintin begins knocking, the colour of Haddock's door is brown. In the next shot, the colour of the door is suddenly red. Then in the shot after that, the colour of the door is suddenly back to brown again. (00:10:25)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 2 - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Haddock throws his hat in the air, there is a lamp post located next to Tintin and it is a light blue colour. A couple of shots later, the lamp post is suddenly a much darker turquoise colour. (00:26:20)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 2 - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Tintin wakes up in the room, a voice tells him to check the intercom. The entire wall surrounding the intercom is blue. Tintin then walks up to the intercom and the surrounding wall is suddenly green. (00:34:50)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 2 - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When the voice on the intercom tells Tintin he wants the parchments, the close-up shots of the intercom show two screws visible at each end of it. But in the shots from further away, the two screws are not visible in the intercom. (00:34:55)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 2 - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Tintin wakes up after being hit on the head by the butler, the Bird brothers are shown pointing a gun at him saying "We've wasted enough time." The gun is pointed at his noise in the first shot. The shot then changes and the gun is suddenly being pointed at his cheek. (00:39:55)
The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 2 - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Tintin discovers Mr. Silk's wallet collection, he finds Max Bird's wallet, located in the middle of one of the shelves, being the red wallet. The red wallet located in the middle was not visible in the previous shot. (00:42:20)
The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 2 - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: After Tintin has leapt over from the driver's seat of his speedboat to the driver's seat of Allan's, he begins a fight with him, then they dodge a bridge by ducking. From a wide angle that shows them exiting the bridge, we can see there is nothing on the back of the speedboat. A few seconds later, Allan then punches Tintin and he falls back onto the back, only now some ropes have suddenly appeared. (00:42:30)
The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 2 - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: In the speedboat chase scene in Bagghar between Tintin and Allan, Allan bumps into Tintin's speedboat and Snowy is knocked into the side of the boat. The next shot shows Tintin then standing up and leaping over to Allan's boat. As soon as he lands, Allan is driving on the right hand side of the speedboat, or viewer's left hand side, then inthe shot following, Allan is now driving on the left hand side of the speedboat, or may appear to be the right hand side from the viewer's view. This shot had absolutely nothing to do with the angle of the camera. (00:42:20)
The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 2 - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Haddock asks the man at the harbor if the Karaboudjan went down what was it doing at the harbor, the man replies "This here's the Djebel Amilah. Can't you read" and walks out of the shot. As the man walks out of shot, he is shown walking several feet away from Haddock, almost two meters. The shot cuts to one of the Karaboudjan crew members, but when the shot cuts back to Haddock saying, "You mutinous deck rat. Tell them the real name of this ship", the man is suddenly only a few feet away from him. (00:35:05)
Chosen answer: It is a pill that makes alcohol taste disgusting.
