The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Haddock jumps onto Tintin, believing that he is a bottle of wine, Tintin's hat thing falls off his head and lands on the sand behind him. After Snowy has hit him on the head with the bone, Tintin says "The heat must be getting to you" and there is no sign of Tintin's hat thing on the sand behind him. Then as Haddock begins to run to the "water", the hat thing is back again. (00:28:35)

Continuity mistake: After the plane has crashed, Snowy leads Tintin and Captain Haddock to the skeleton of a dead camel. Just as Haddock says "That's a camel", Tintin and Haddock are visible in the background and Haddock is shown to be standing behind Tintin.

Continuity mistake: Just after Haddock and Snowy fall to the rear end of the plane, the pilot gets up and hits Tintin over the head with a wine bottle. Tintin is then knocked unconscious and the plane is out of control. Just after Haddock yells out "Tintin! Tintin!" and the shot cuts to an exterior shot of the plane going out of control, we can see the plane is no longer in the storm, instead in clear blue skies. A few seconds later, as the pilot makes for the airlock to jump out with the parachute, the plane is suddenly back to being in the storm. (00:26:05)

Continuity mistake: Tintin is locked in a room tied up to two pipes. There is rope around his torso and ankles which is connected to the pipes above and even his arms are tied up, connected to the pipes behind him. Allan then enters the room and the rope that was connecting his arms to the pipe is now nowhere in sight. It is partially visible for a few frames, but then vanishes for the rest of the shot. Then when the shot cuts to Tintin, there is suddenly rope wrapped all around the pipe behind him. (00:12:35)
