Caballo sin Nombre - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: While Walt is out of his car and arguing with the police officer, there are other cars visible in the far distance behind him. The cars appear and disappear in between shots, there isn't time for them to pass and we don't hear them pass. (00:03:30)

Abiquiu - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode Jesse and Jane leave the art gallery and go to his car. From the outside, Jesse's car is right up close to the Porsche in front, but the inside shots show they are about 4-5 feet back from it.

I.F.T. - S3-E3

Suggested correction: The tape is only there while the adhesive sets in his continually new windshields, as he only just replaced the windshield and probably took off the tape off camera because it wouldn't add to the plot.

That doesn't explain how in some shots the tape appears and disappears between instant shots in numerous episodes.

Continuity mistake: When Walter is trying to kill the fly with his shoe, he leaves his notepad on the floor. Its position keeps changing between shots. (00:07:20)

Fly - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When the episode is about to end, Walter's head on the pillow points in a 12 o'clock direction. A shot later it's at 11 o'clock.

I See You - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When Walt is talking about his operation, in the hospital Cafeteria after Hank is shot. He says the line "Lying there waiting for them to anesthetize you." From one angle, he is shown looking forward, while from the next angle, he is turned around facing Marie. (00:20:50)

Green Light - S3-E4

Visible crew/equipment: Skyler is making copies and the scene starts with a shot looking down into the copier (the Green Light). When the shot lightens a bit as the copier continues, you can see the camera lens. This makes sense because the camera is sitting directly on the copier looking down.

Abiquiu - S3-E11

Audio problem: When Jesse and Andrea have the argument, she says the line, "if that's what you wanna do then go." However for the the last bit, her lips don't move. (00:30:25)

Green Light - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Jesse shows Walter his product at the parking lot, Walter first holds the meth bag with his left hand, but in the next shot it's his right.

I.F.T. - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: When Juan walks into the bar, he sets his hat flat on the bar counter. But in later shots, the hat is sitting on the edge of the bar railing. Most noticeable when he and Tortuga leave the bar.

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.

Caballo sin Nombre - S3-E2

Trivia: There is a scene in this episode where Walter angrily tosses a box of pizza in the air in such a way that the pizza exits the box and lands on his roof. Before filming this scene, the crew had wondered how many takes would be required to achieve the desired result. Bryan Cranston nailed it on the first try.
