Character mistake: Given Gus Fring is Chilean born and Mexican raised, his Spanish accent is not only awful, but it shows that the actor is trying really hard (and most of the times not achieving) to pronounce Spanish.

Continuity: Season 3, episode 8, "I See You": During the scene in which Gus is talking on the phone with a "colleague" of his, the boss of the two assassins who shot Hank, it is night time and the surroundings outside of Los Pollos are dark. However, when gunshots are being heard in the background and Gus snaps his cell phone in half it is daytime. The sky is blue behind him and the sun is shining off of his head.
