* AdaptationalVillainy: Ivan Sakharine is a much more malevolent character than he was in the comics, in which he is more annoying than malicious, and, ironically, is one of the only characters who Tintin accuses mistakenly of being a villain. Also unlike his movie counterpart, he doesn't seem to have any particular grudge against [[spoiler: Captain Haddock]].
** Inverted with Barnaby. In the comic, he works for the villains and, while he turns on them, it's out of a petty grievance rather than remorse. In the film, he is an Interpol member who is shot by goons working for Sakharine. Interestingly, this is a reversal of the comic, in which Sakharine is attacked by Barnaby, who wants the scroll in his ''Unicorn'' model.
** Also inverted with [[spoiler: Omar Ben Salaad]], who's an innocent extra in this movie and a drug smuggling boss in the comic.
** Interestingly and very surprisingly, the LicensedGame based on the movie actually uses the Bird brothers from the comic as the villains instead of Sakharine.
