* FantasticFruitsAndVegetables: The titular blue oranges are genetically-modified oranges which are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin blue]], glow in the dark, and most importantly, can be grown even in the harsh desert environment. They're highly sought-after by villains due to the economic implications such a crop carries, but in their current state, they have an awful bitter and salty taste, making them inedible.

* BrutishBulls: While investigating the kidnapped professors, Thompson and Thomson mistakenly bump into a belligerent bovine who chases them around.
* DistinguishingMark: Fernando has a tattoo of a blue dragon biting its own tail on his wrist. The kids manage to track him down by asking every similar-looking man they meet for the time, allowing them to take a closer look at their wrists.
* EverybodyLaughsEnding: In the end, Thompson and Thomson arrive, crash their car, and land in the fountain, making everyone else laugh as a photo is taken.
* ImprovisedWeapon: During the film's climactic fight scene, Captain Haddock uses a ventilation pipe from the yacht he's on as an improvised armguard during a swordfight, before using it to send his opponent into the water.
* KidnappedScientist: Professor Zalamea and Calculus both get kidnapped by [[spoiler:Oranges Inc., and later by the Emir of Sakali]], and are forced to work on the blue oranges.
* KidSidekick: Pablito is a young boy who is a friend of Zalamea. He and his gang of friends help Tintin in their investigation of the professors' kidnappings, such as by helping track down Fernando.
* TapOnTheHead: Tintin and Haddock are knocked out by men who bash them over the head with billy clubs. Both of them wake up later, complaining of a headache but otherwise unharmed.
