Say My Name - S5-E7

Continuity mistake: When Hank steps in and presents the search warrant to Mike, he's holding it close with Mike looking down at it. When the angle cuts, suddenly Mike is leaning his head back like he's trying to look at it near sighted.

Quantom X

Buyout - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: At the dinner table, after Walt tells Jesse that this business is all he has left, he is holding his glass and spinning it around by the top with his fingers. When the angle changes to show his face, suddenly his hand is balled in a fist behind his glass.

Buyout - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: After Skyler excuses herself from the table, Jesse looks awkwardly to the side after taking a bite of green beans. As he does from the front angle, his left arm folds in front of his chest and he puts it under his outstretched right arm holding his fork. When the angle changes to the side, suddenly his left arm is out holding his glass of water.

Dead Freight - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: A little boy finds a tarantula at the start of the episode and picks it up, letting it crawl over his hands. In the overhead shot of his hands, it shows him letting it crawl up his left wrist and start to get on his sleeve. But in the next shot from in front, suddenly the spider is in the middle of both his hands crawling over them.

Quantom X

Salud - S4-E10

Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode, Mike, Jesse and Gus are standing together out in a field. When the camera cuts to a closer angle, suddenly their positions shift around very noticeably.

Quantom X

Mas - S3-E5

Other mistake: At an RV park, Hank is investigating an RV that looks like the one he saw in the pictures from the ATM camera. Desperate for a vantage point, he goes around to the back of the RV and starts to climb up the ladder on the passenger rear side of the vehicle. This RV is not supported at this time in a permanent fixture, as it's revealed shortly there after that the occupants were just on vacation. So Hank's full body weight getting on the back corner of the RV should have shifted it on it's suspension and alerted the people inside that something was going on far sooner than it did.

Quantom X

ABQ - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: Sitting outside a crack house looking for Jesse, Mike and Walt are talking in Mike's car. When Mike says he could just be mugged or shot, the camera is behind their heads. Walt turns his head towards Mike while he's saying this. When the camera angle changes, suddenly Walt is looking out of the passenger window again.

Quantom X

Dead Freight - S5-E5

Audio problem: The engine's horn sound constantly changes before the train is robbed. And when the train begins to move again, a railroad crossing bell is heard, even though the crossing ahead just has crossbucks.

AAL117

ABQ - S2-E13

Factual error: On the radar screen, a flight, SAA332 is seen. SAA is the icao code for South African Airways, which did not serve any city near Albuquerque in 2009.

To'hajiilee - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Hank looks for Walt in the desert, the weather changes from shot to shot. One shot is fully lit with sharp shadows and blue sky, the next one has no shadows with an overcast sky, back to blue sky and hard shadows. That goes on for about 20 seconds until Walt surrenders to Hank.

Over - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: Skyler and Ted talk about the churros and party. Behind Skyler, the power sockets are not being used. The shot after, they are. (00:20:15)

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.

Breakage - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Walt is being sick in the toilet, we see he has his forearm on the edge of the bowl. Camera changes and now it is his wrist on the edge of the bowl. (00:07:30)

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.

Show generally

Question: Just how does Walt intend to explain the presence of all that meth money, even posthumously? Just how does he think his heirs will react to that, how is he going to launder it? How does he think his wife and kids will explain it? If they knowingly inherit and use such money, they could face charges of accessory after the fact. Is this ever addressed in the show?

dizzyd

Chosen answer: I'm not sure how far you are into the show but he does eventually come up with a way to launder it (wont spoil it for you but rest assured, when he gets a lawyer the show gets much better!) and in the final season he also comes up with a way to give his children his money without the cops or the DA knowing it came from him.

The_Iceman

Answer: Walt decided to buy a car wash to launder his money, which makes a profit without the dirty money. At the end he blackmailed Elliot and Gretchen in to giving his money to junior and Holly. However 90% of his $80m is stolen.
