Pilot - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: At the very beginning of the episode where the RV crashes against a rock in the middle of the desert, a camera badly hidden behind a bush can be seen on the right side of the screen immediately after the crash. (00:00:57)

Cat's in the Bag... - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: Walter is in the basement and slides two bottles of water and a plate with a sandwich across the floor to give to Krazy-8. Right before he slides the plate across the floor, the camera wobbles slightly. (00:28:25)

Pilot - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: When Walter puts the mask over Jesse's unconscious face after drugging Emilio and Krazy-8, in the POV shot of Jesse where the camera is looking up at Walter, the reflection of the camera can be seen in Walter's mask. (00:51:05)

Casual Person

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jesse picks up the apron and asks "What the hell is this", the apron is held so that part of it is placed over the top of Jesse's hand. When the camera changes angles, none of the apron can be seen placed over the top of his hand. (00:33:55)

Casual Person

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jesse reminds Walter that he flunked him, he is holding a bottle of beer that is raised to his stomach. When the shot cuts, the beer bottle is lowered away from his stomach. (00:33:20)

Casual Person

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

Character mistake: When Walt and Gretchen are talking about the elements in the body, they list hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, calcium, iron, sodium, and phosphorus. The percentage is short and she says "supposedly that's everything." But they don't count elements like sulfur (which has a greater abundance than sodium), potassium, chlorine, and magnesium. Even as college students, they would know those elements are in the body.

Cancer Man - S1-E4

Factual error: Walt places a squeegee on the battery of a car to blow it up. This car is a BMW e36, which has the battery in the trunk.

...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)

Cornered - S4-E6

Walter White: Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see? Do you know how much I make a year? I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going into work? A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up. Disappears. It ceases to exist, without me. No, you don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Skyler. I AM the danger. A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me? No! I am the one who knocks!

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.
