Salud - S4-E10

Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode, Mike, Jesse and Gus are standing together out in a field. When the camera cuts to a closer angle, suddenly their positions shift around very noticeably.

Mas - S3-E5

Other mistake: At an RV park, Hank is investigating an RV that looks like the one he saw in the pictures from the ATM camera. Desperate for a vantage point, he goes around to the back of the RV and starts to climb up the ladder on the passenger rear side of the vehicle. This RV is not supported at this time in a permanent fixture, as it's revealed shortly there after that the occupants were just on vacation. So Hank's full body weight getting on the back corner of the RV should have shifted it on it's suspension and alerted the people inside that something was going on far sooner than it did.

ABQ - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: Sitting outside a crack house looking for Jesse, Mike and Walt are talking in Mike's car. When Mike says he could just be mugged or shot, the camera is behind their heads. Walt turns his head towards Mike while he's saying this. When the camera angle changes, suddenly Walt is looking out of the passenger window again.

Dead Freight - S5-E5

Audio problem: The engine's horn sound constantly changes before the train is robbed. And when the train begins to move again, a railroad crossing bell is heard, even though the crossing ahead just has crossbucks.

AAL117

ABQ - S2-E13

Factual error: On the radar screen, a flight, SAA332 is seen. SAA is the icao code for South African Airways, which did not serve any city near Albuquerque in 2009.

To'hajiilee - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Hank looks for Walt in the desert, the weather changes from shot to shot. One shot is fully lit with sharp shadows and blue sky, the next one has no shadows with an overcast sky, back to blue sky and hard shadows. That goes on for about 20 seconds until Walt surrenders to Hank.

I.F.T. - S3-E3

Audio problem: When Jesse rings Jane's phone when it's cut off, Jesse is still pressing buttons but there is no sound, despite there being sound when he pressed buttons before.

Suggested correction: He only presses 2 buttons. Anything else is just something like his thumb twitching, like he's anxious or nervous. You see him call Jane's phone multiple times by only pushing 2 buttons.

Breakage - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Walt is being sick in the toilet, we see he has his forearm on the edge of the bowl. Camera changes and now it is his wrist on the edge of the bowl. (00:07:30)

Box Cutter - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: During the diner scene when Jesse is eating, Walt asks him how he's doing. Jesse's head changes positions several times between shots. From looking out of the window, to back down at his plate, to back out of the window, to straight ahead again, all between shots.

Quantom X

Cornered - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: At the start, the hijackers use a UV light to find the stamp that indicates which bucket of sauce has meth in them. However, the stamp shines yellow, while in a previous episode it's shown shining blue. (00:06:20)

4 Days Out - S2-E9

Revealing mistake: There are no water cooling tubes attached to the reflux condensers. Reflux condensers do not condense without cooling. (00:15:40)

Seven Thirty-Seven - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode when Walt and Jesse are leaving the junkyard, the camera pans to Tuco and Ganzo watching them drive away. However, this is at the same time Ganzo is moving No Doze's body and is subsequently crushed by a car.

Caballo sin Nombre - S3-E2

Trivia: There is a scene in this episode where Walter angrily tosses a box of pizza in the air in such a way that the pizza exits the box and lands on his roof. Before filming this scene, the crew had wondered how many takes would be required to achieve the desired result. Bryan Cranston nailed it on the first try.

Show generally

Question: Just how does Walt intend to explain the presence of all that meth money, even posthumously? Just how does he think his heirs will react to that, how is he going to launder it? How does he think his wife and kids will explain it? If they knowingly inherit and use such money, they could face charges of accessory after the fact. Is this ever addressed in the show?

dizzyd

Chosen answer: I'm not sure how far you are into the show but he does eventually come up with a way to launder it (wont spoil it for you but rest assured, when he gets a lawyer the show gets much better!) and in the final season he also comes up with a way to give his children his money without the cops or the DA knowing it came from him.

The_Iceman

Answer: Walt decided to buy a car wash to launder his money, which makes a profit without the dirty money. At the end he blackmailed Elliot and Gretchen in to giving his money to junior and Holly. However 90% of his $80m is stolen.
