{{tropelist}}
 
* [[A Boy and His X]]: Tintin and his dog Snowy.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Thompson and Thomson ([[Simon Pegg]] and Nick Frost) remark that being a police contains a lot of paperwork, in reference to ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'', where paperwork was a running gag.
* [[Adaptational Badass]]: In the videogame adaptation of the film Thomson and Thompson have an attack where they spin their canes fast enough to deflect fireballs at enemies.
Line 30 ⟶ 29:
* [[And the Adventure Continues...]]: The film ends with {{spoiler|Tintin and Haddock discovering a clue to the location of the Unicorn, where the rest of Rackham's treasue would be hidden}}.
* [[Animated Credits Opening]]: Similar to Spielberg's previous film ''[[Catch Me If You Can]]'', with multiple references to the other Tintin books.
** A fan created [https://web.archive.org/web/20131202125007/http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=23191 his own] Animated Opening Credits for the film and posted it online just for fun, and when Spielberg saw it he was so impressed that he flew the guy to the U.K. Premiere and [[Promoted Fanboy|offered him a paid position on his next movie]].
* [[Artistic License History]]: At one point Bianca mentions this is her first time visiting the third world. The term "third world" originated during the [[Cold War]] in the 1950's, while this film takes place in the 30's.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Ivan Sakharine. In the comic, he is a rather minor, non-villainous character, a harmless ship model collector who mostly serves as a [[Red Herring]]. In the film, he is [[Big Bad|the main antagonist]] {{spoiler|and the descendant of Red Rackham}}.
Line 48 ⟶ 47:
* [[Bloodless Carnage]]: The Pirate flashback is chockful of sword and gun killings, all without a single red stain. Averted with Barnaby's death.
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Captain Haddock.
* [[A Boy and His X]]: Tintin and his dog Snowy.
* [[Brave Scot]]: Unlike previous adaptations of ''Tintin'', Andy Serkis chooses to give Captain Haddock a Scottish accent.
* [[Chase Scene]]: One of the more spectacular ones in recent memory.
