...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.

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.

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.
