...and the Bag's in the River - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Skyler asks Marie how weed affected her in high school. Skyler then says it made her light-headed. In this shot you can see the paintbrush she is holding is up by her face. As the camera cuts however the paintbrush is now down at waist height. (00:05:40)

Problem Dog - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: Skyler makes Walt return the Challenger to the car dealership, but Walt decides to take it to a parking lot and spin donuts with it. Just before he crashes, he's spinning clockwise, starts to lose control, and tries to correct it by turning the steering wheel sharply to the left. However, from the overhead shot, the marks on the pavement indicate he was spinning counter-clockwise and tried to correct by turning right. (00:05:50)

Peekaboo - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: At the very beginning of the episode, Skinny gives Jesse the address on where he can find the junkies who robbed them. When we see the piece of paper, the street name is Pampas. When Jesse gets out of the car, we see the real street signs, and that the house is on 13th and Marquette.

Caballo sin Nombre - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: When Walter takes Junior home from school, at first there are no shadows or sun hitting the ground in front of the garage. In the next shot the sun appears.

Fly - S3-E10

Audio problem: When Walt yells at Jesse through the lab's entrance door, the sound is very muffled, as if the door is a major insulator of sound. However, later, when Jesse yells at Walt through the same door, the sound is much clearer, and hardly muffled at all. (00:22:15 - 00:23:55)

Caballo sin Nombre - S3-E2

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene after Walter took his son from the school and parks his car in front of their house (before the pizza scene), you can see the camera mounted on a crane while filming the scene reflected on the car's windscreen.

Green Light - S3-E4

Other mistake: The ATM video from the gas station in the desert should have shown Jesse and not just the RV. (00:35:10)

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

Suggested correction: We're not shown the entire footage from the ATM camera so it could have picked him up. However Jesse is too far away from the machine for a useful picture.

Better Call Saul - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: As Walt is talking to Saul in his classroom, there is a pen under the desk by the chair leg Walt is standing by. It is next to the chair's front left leg. A few moments later without being hit, the pin moves to the front right leg.

Thirty-Eight Snub - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: When Walt is practicing his pistol draw in his apartment, he drags over a chair in which to sit during his practice. When he is dragging it, he aligns it directly against the carpet. However, a few seconds later, another shot shows that the chair is now inches away from the carpet, despite him never adjusting the chair.

Over - S2-E10

Audio problem: The message from Walt that Skyler listens to at the office is different from the audio earlier in the episode. Walt says "no" when we see him, but on the recording he doesn't say it.

Crawl Space - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, the medical team is treating Gus. The oral syringe of medication is drawn to "1", in the next scene, it is completely full when the man administers the drug. (00:01:20)

Phoenix - S2-E12

Trivia: The website Walter Jr. creates to raise money for Walter Sr. can be found at http://www.savewalterwhite.com/. The donation link used to send the viewer to a legitimate cancer charity's website, but now just goes to AMC's home page. (00:20:00)

More trivia for Breaking Bad

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.
