Bali Ha'i - S2-E6

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

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)

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.

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?

Bishop73

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