No Mas - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When Walt is holding the giant pizza, there is a bag on top of the box which keeps moving around atop the box without being touched. Notice its position in relation to the writing on the box. (00:32:20)

No Mas - S3-E1

Factual error: The final scene of the episode, the cousins are hiding with other migrants amid a farm truck's bales of straw. One of the migrants claims they are in Texas. However, the mountains in the distance are the Manzano Mountains which are just several miles southeast of Albuquerque, more than 200 miles away from the border with Texas and Mexico. The migrant claims he has gone through this route 3 times, so it is unlikely this would simply be a character mistake.

Suggested correction: He could have just been boasting, whilst not actually knowing where he is. He is just a kid after all.

Worse than all of that, is the fact that you can't get directly from Mexico into Texas without traversing a river. There are no land routes.

There are no bridges?

Caballo sin Nombre - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: Walt is driving down a deserted road singing "A Horse with No Name." You can see the roadway behind him through the hole in the headrest. At first, the road is empty. But then a white vehicle quickly approaches. The camera angle changes and there are no vehicles behind him, but a police car coming from the opposite direction passes and makes a u-turn. When the camera angle is back inside Walt's car, the white vehicle turns out to be the police car that just made a u-turn. (00:01:00)

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)

Caballo sin Nombre - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: When Walt throws the pizza on the roof, it lands 5 rows up from the edge. When the camera cuts to on the garage roof, it's only 3 rows up. Also the amount of topping changes between the angles. (00:34:30)

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.

I.F.T. - S3-E3

Revealing mistake: When the Mexican drug dealer is painting on the tortoise, he is very obviously just moving the brush and not writing anything. (00:03:15)

I.F.T. - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode when Bolsa writes "Hola DEA" with the white paint on the turtle shell, the writing completely changes from how it appeared in the episode "Negro Y Azul."

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.

I.F.T. - S3-E3

Audio problem: When Jesse rings Jane's phone when it's cut off, Jesse is still pressing buttons but there is no sound, despite there being sound when he pressed buttons before.

Suggested correction: He only presses 2 buttons. Anything else is just something like his thumb twitching, like he's anxious or nervous. You see him call Jane's phone multiple times by only pushing 2 buttons.

Green Light - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Mike and Saul are listening to the tape recording, the recorder is on a join of 2 pages. We then get a close up of the recorder and it's in the centre of a page. (00:05:35)

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)
