El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

Continuity mistake: Jesse Plemons gained a considerable amount of weight since "Breaking Bad" ended. As such, Todd Alquist is noticeably husky in his flashback appearances in this movie, even though in the original timeframe, he was more slender.

Factual error: In the flash back with Jesse and Walter, they are eating at the Owl Cafe. Outside, a mountain and dirt road can be seen, indicating they are out in some rural area in the desert. The Owl Cafe is actually in Albuquerque and is nowhere near a mountain or desert landscape. It is on one of the busiest streets in the city, surrounded by other businesses such as gas stations, restaurants, and hotels. There is another Owl Cafe in San Antonio, New Mexico, but that one looks nothing like the one in the flashback (it also isn't near a mountain and is surrounded by paved roads).

Trivia: Towards the beginning of the movie, we see that Los Pollos Hermanos has become a restaurant called "Twisters." This is also what happened to the filming location in real life, and is still in business as Twisters to this day.

Trivia: The working title during production was "Greenbriar." Eventually, the title "El Camino" was unveiled, which in addition to being a model of Chevrolet car, also translates to "The Path" or "The Way" in Spanish.

Jesse: Alaska... Start over. Start fresh.
Mike: One could.
Jesse: Put things right.
Mike: No. Sorry kid, that's the one thing you can never do.

Question: In Jesse's parents house, the height chart is scrawled on the door frame. Did they move back into the family home?

Answer: Unless I'm forgetting the show mentioning them moving, I believe the Pinkmans stayed in the same house. The house Jesse lived in and later bought under their noses after their expensive remodel was Jesse's aunt's house.
