Box Cutter - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: When Gus starts to walk away from where he killed Victor, he drops the Box Cutter, and we see it landing. However, after a cut to the next shot, its position has changed. It is no longer sitting on the line in the floor, and it is pointing 180° in the other direction. We can also see from Walt's shadow that the Box Cutter has moved quite a bit further away from Walt. (00:35:05)

Box Cutter - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: When Gus Fring kills Victor and throws him to the ground, a stream of blood runs between Pinkman's and White's legs. When the angle cuts, the stream is now a puddle around Victor's head, no blood near the legs.

Box Cutter - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: When Pinkman and White are having breakfast in the diner, the items on the table keep changing in each shot. Specifically, the jelly, the milk, the cup with the cream and, most noticeably, the rolled napkin with the cutlery inside: Sometimes folded, others opened.

Sacha

Box Cutter - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: When Marie returns to her home and we see Hank bidding online on crystals, when she walks in and says she's back the side view of him shows his mouth hanging partly open. When it cuts to a different angle, his mouth is shut.

Quantom X

Box Cutter - S4-E1

Box Cutter - S4-E1

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.

Open House - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: While at Walt's apartment discussing the purchase of the car wash, there is a painting behind Saul that goes from crooked, to straight, and back to crooked.

Bullet Points - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: After Walt and Junior are about to go see Hank's mineral collection, Hank's front door is still open. The camera cuts to Hank for a moment as he turns his wheelchair to move down the hall and Walt and Junior soon follow. In the next shot, suddenly the front door has closed by itself. There was not enough time for Walt to have closed it and it would have been heard if he did.

Shotgun - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: When Jesse taps his cigarette on the pack by the factory, he keeps the cigarette on the pack. Camera changes and his hands are now apart and away from the packet. (00:16:00)

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)

Caballo sin Nombre - S3-E2

Question: When Saul buys Jesse's house from his parents, he said that he showed their lawyer, Mr. Gardner, "all the pertinent financials", meaning $875,000 in cash available to buy the house. Jesse only had $450,000 and that money was not in any account. How did Saul show Mr. Gardner that he had $875,000 in cash?

dweezel7

Answer: Saul is a criminal himself. It's not past his capabilities to forge some documents to show the 857k is available.

Ssiscool

Forged documents by Saul is most likely the correct answer.

The_Iceman

Answer: Saul has a stash of cash himself, hidden in his office. It's possible he used some of that instead as part of the scheme instead of having to go through the effort of falsifying documents.

Phaneron

Answer: In all likelihood, he sold some more meth.

Captain Defenestrator

At the time, they were not producing enough Meth to get that much money in the time frame of the events.
