* FakingTheDead: The crew of the ''Karaboudjan'' pull this off with their own ship , putting out a distress call and having the ship appear to sink with all hands. When Tintin and Haddock hear of this, they call this into question, with Haddock saying the ''Karaboudjan'' sinking without time to launch the lifeboats is a strange scenario, and sure enough she turns up in Bagghar some time later.

Added DiffLines:

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It is never revealed what happens to the pilots of the plane after they escape. Considering they were still far into the desert and the Lieutenant's men didn't find them, likely they died in the desert. This also applies to the animated episode with the Pilot. Considering he caused the crash by knocking out Tintin before parachuting out of the plane this could have been Karma.

* LighterAndSofter: The animated adaptations in comparison to the original comic book story. In at least the Remastered version of the 1990s animated series, Allan's crimes are changed from smuggling opium to smuggling diamonds. But, oddly, only in the second episode; the first episode is true to the comics by having Allan be involved in drug-smuggling, and despite the fact Allan appeared as part of the opium-smuggling ring in ''Cigars of the Pharaoh''. The Dutch version averts this and changes the smuggles goods back to opium.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: The Belvision and Nelvana animated series version as well as the [[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTintin 2011 movie adaptation]] changed how Tintin, Haddock and Snowy crash landed into Sahara desert. In the original book, it was due to Haddock's AlcoholInducedStupidity. Haddock was so drunk, he decided it was his turn to fly the plane. When Tintin refused to let him do so, he smashed a bottle of whisky on his head, knocking him out, making the plane lose her pilot and crashing into Sahara (thankfully, Tintin regained his consciouness at the last moment and managed to pull back a little bit, thus the crash was not fatal).
