Belvision: Differences in "The Black Island"?

#1 · Posted: 24 Sep 2006 17:25

Besides the fact that the Captain and Professor Calculus are in it, what other differences are there between the Belvision version of The Black Island, and the original?

The scenes which takes place at the train in the book are moved to an airport in the Belvision version.
Apart from Tintin and Haddock, the Thom(p)sons are present as well.
Tintin & Haddock hide in postal bags to get on the plane, but Haddock is left on the ground.
Tintin stows away in the aeroplane, and then jumps with a parachute when they reach the British coast.
He almost lands in front of a train on a railroad but everything works out fine (of course).

Other changes involve a white-haired Doctor Müller and an angular tower at the Black Island.
In the end, the Thompsons arrive with police helicopters, climbing down to the tower via ladders.
