Sunk Costs - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: Mike sets a trap to taint a cartel's truck with drug residue. First, he inserts a bag of cocaine in a shoe, then throws the pair of shoes over a telephone wire. His plan is to shoot the hanging shoe so the cocaine powder pours out onto the truck as it passes under the wire. However, when he inserts the drugs it is in the right shoe, but later, it is the left shoe he shoots and has the powder in it. (00:29:30 - 00:38:00)

Off Brand - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: The newspaper Hector is reading when Domingo comes in keeps changing around. For example, when you see him reading the sports page, there's half a picture of a baseball player on the front and the bottom half should be seen on the side Hector is reading. When we see what he's reading, part of the picture is now a football player.

Magic Man - S5-E1

Trivia: Robert Forster filmed his scene in this episode at the same time that he filmed his scene in El Camino. He is having a phone conversation with Bob Odenkirk, but Odenkirk shot his part later. Unfortunately, Forster passed months earlier (coincidentally on El Camino's release date) and sadly never got to see his work in neither this nor El Camino.

Wine and Roses - S6-E1

Question: When the house is being cleared out, there's a scene in the closet and as the camera is panning around, there's a ball cap sitting on a box with a logo I can't recognize or make out. Does anyone know what the logo is and if it came from an earlier episode or a "Breaking Bad" one?

Answer: It might be the Panavision cap he wore when directing his terrible commercials.
