Cobbler - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: In Pryce's Hummer, he's asking if he should not have the right to protection from crime. Mike looks straight ahead at this. The camera changes to a rear angle again and suddenly Mike is looking towards Pryce again.

Quantom X

Amarillo - S2-E3

Factual error: Around the beginning of the episode, Saul is entering a Ford F-550 Bus from Sandpiper, but that body style from the Ford F series isn't introduced until 2012+ and Better Call Saul takes place in the early 2000's, 6 years before Saul meets Walter.

Gloves Off - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Tuco is confronting Mike out in the parking lot. When Mike offers to exchange information he's standing slightly to the left of Tuco as he faces him, with his head turned to Mike's left looking at him. But each time the camera cuts to a side view of them both, Tuco is closer to standing right in front of Mike, with Mike's head turned slightly to his right.

Bali Ha'i - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: Near the start when Mike's pulling over, the car parks literally perfectly along the side of the road. Seconds later when camera shows him stepping out it's at least 12 inches away from the curb. (00:11:00)

Bali Ha'i - S2-E6

Visible crew/equipment: When Mike is checking his house for intruders, he quickly opens a closet. When he does someone moves to the back of the closet so as not to be seen by the camera.

Inflatable - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Kim has finished her interview she goes to the roof car park and lights a cigarette whilst the camera shows the street with parked cars. When she reaches into her purse to tear up the WM business card two of the vehicles have disappeared - a white car and a van which had its hazards flashing. All happens in under 8 seconds. In the same scene, when she unlocks her car it is in a bright patch of sunshine, in the close up it's all in shade. (00:37:20)

Deadlock

Inflatable - S2-E7

Factual error: In the flashback scene in the store with young Jimmy and his Dad, Jimmy can be seen leaning against a shelf with cans of a "Psst" brand product which did not exist in that time frame.

Fifi - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: At the end of the scene at the Air Force base, when Jimmy is about to snap the photo of the military members with "Fudge", the film students roll Fudge in this wheelchair over to pose by Fifi, the B-29. At this moment, they've just scrambled to get Fudge back in the chair with the movie camera on his lap, concealed by the plaid blanket. The blanket is in view as the boys roll Fudge over there. We then cut to Jimmy, crouching with a disposable camera given to him by the USAF captain. Cut back to the group posing, Jimmy says, "Smile!" and Fudge says, "Cheese!" In this brief moment, the blanket on Fudge's lap is suddenly gone, along with the camera. You can see Fudge seated in his costume, holding up his bottle of water, but no blanket, no camera. Cut back to Jimmy, shaking his head. Then cut back to the group posing, and the blanket is back in place on Fudge's lap. (00:30:45)

Fifi - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: The sun changes considerably when Mike is scoping out the garage. At the beginning of the scene it is late afternoon. When the larger truck pulls in it is closer to noon.

Nailed - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: Mike is sitting in a diner as a waitress is walking up to him. The shot is from outside the window and shows the reflection of a mixed race couple walking across the street towards the window. When the shot changes to the waitress coming up and bringing him his drink, there is suddenly nobody in the street at all or around that could have been making that reflection. (00:31:20)

Nailed - S2-E9

Factual error: At the start of the scene where Jimmy films a commercial at the school, kids are shown on the playground. Many of them are wearing leggings or skinny jeans. The episode is set in 2002, when the trend was flare and straight legged jeans. The skinny jeans and leggings trend didn't become widespread until 2009 or 2010.

Witness - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: After Jimmy leaves Mike at the Los Pollos, Mike looks through is binoculars and is supposed to be looking at the mirror with them. The shot of the rear view mirror shows him looking off to his left however, not at the mirror as it should be. When the angle changes to the front, suddenly he's pointing the binoculars at the rear view mirror. (00:30:42)

Witness - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: While Kim is talking to Jimmy he is pulling of the tape off the wall. As she sits down to the couch, Jimmy's hands are at the same height as his head. After a cut, his hands on the wall are suddenly at a much higher level. About 50cm of pulling off the tape on the wall are being skipped. (00:40:37)

Sunk Costs - S3-E3

Other mistake: While setting up the shot to drop drugs on the Salamanca truck, Mike puts the drugs in the left sneaker. He later shoots through the right sneaker. (00:29:29 - 00:38:06)

Sunk Costs - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: Mike sets a trap to taint a cartel's truck with drug residue. First, he inserts a bag of cocaine in a shoe, then throws the pair of shoes over a telephone wire. His plan is to shoot the hanging shoe so the cocaine powder pours out onto the truck as it passes under the wire. However, when he inserts the drugs it is in the right shoe, but later, it is the left shoe he shoots and has the powder in it. (00:29:30 - 00:38:00)

Sunk Costs - S3-E3

Factual error: When Gus meets Mike there is a 94-00 black suburban in the background with rims from an 08-11 suburban which didn't exist at the time the episode takes place.

Sabrosito - S3-E4

Factual error: When Hector and his men are in Los Pollos Hermanos there's a soda machine in the background with the current logos of the sodas when this episode took place before 2003. (00:12:33)

Sabrosito - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: Hector goes behind the counter in Los Pollos Hermanos and helps himself to a drink. The cup is under a different dispenser (and therefore a different drink) each time the shot changes, but the audio of the dispensing and the cup being filled remains intact throughout.

Off Brand - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: When Jimmy and the kids pull into the news station, the shadows of the dishes and tower drastically change positions from when the park to when they get out of the car.

Mijo - S1-E2

Trivia: The guy who breaks the two brothers' legs is Tuco Salamanca, a drug dealer that makes a deal to sell the blue meth with Walter White in Breaking Bad.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: I'm not sure this qualifies as trivia. Throughout the entire series, there are several characters that had very prominent roles in Breaking Bad. Tuco is, without question, extremely recognizable the moment we see him on screen.

Wine and Roses - S6-E1

Question: When the house is being cleared out, there's a scene in the closet and as the camera is panning around, there's a ball cap sitting on a box with a logo I can't recognize or make out. Does anyone know what the logo is and if it came from an earlier episode or a "Breaking Bad" one?

Answer: It might be the Panavision cap he wore when directing his terrible commercials.
