Audio problem: Throughout the series the engine sound from Walt's Pontiac Aztek sounds like a 4-cylinder engine, but the Aztek was only ever available with a V6.
Revealing mistake: When Hank is summarizing what happened at the junkyard, you can see the big dead guy breathing. (00:42:00)
Box Cutter - S4-E1
Continuity mistake: When Pinkman and White are having breakfast in the diner, the items on the table keep changing in each shot. Specifically, the jelly, the milk, the cup with the cream and, most noticeably, the rolled napkin with the cutlery inside: Sometimes folded, others opened.
...and the Bag's in the River - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Walter drops the plate, it shatters into four pieces, with one piece sliding to the edge of the frame, where it stops without splitting further. The other three are in clear view and are in three intact parts. We cut away and back, and now the piece on the right is suddenly shattered into several smaller pieces. Also, the fourth piece that slid out of frame is still there when Walt wakes up, and he picks it up with the rest. The piece that Krazy-8 grabbed was too small to be one of the original four pieces the plate split into, and the piece closest to him didn't shatter further. In addition, when Walter reassembles the plate, the pieces don't match up with what they were in the basement. After the mysterious second shattering, there should be 8 total pieces of plate. If the piece Krazy-8 grabbed broke off from another part, that would mean 9 pieces. Yet Walt's reconstructed plate has only 6 parts plus the gap for Krazy-8's piece. Also, the final plate has smaller pieces at opposite ends, which wouldn't be possible given where the quadrants broke. Walter reassembles the plate upside down, so the part on top to the left of the gap (combined with the piece that is missing) is likely the piece that slid toward Krazy-8. So the large solid piece to the right of the gap would have been the piece that shattered into 5 pieces, but it is intact here. There is also a smaller piece between the piece Krazy-8 could have broken his piece from and the piece next to it, but this piece couldn't have come from either piece when the plate broke or if Krazy-8 broke his piece off the other piece. When Walter picked the pieces up, the piece closest to Krazy-8 was a single piece. (00:23:50 - 00:36:50)
Green Light - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: When Hank is standing between the ATM and the pumps at the gas station, the shadow cast by the roof over the pumps shifts between shots. The shot from away, taken next to the pole with the Indian logo was taken earlier in the day, casting a long shadow. The other shots have a higher sun which has moved by several hours. (00:35:10)
4 Days Out - S2-E9
Visible crew/equipment: When Jesse declares he's going to start walking and sits up in the cot, Walt reaches out to him and a boom mic is visible at the top of the screen. (00:34:25)
Green Light - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: When Mike gets out to throw Walt into his car the back passenger door is shut but when he throws him in it's open. (00:08:35)
Factual error: When the planes crash over Albuquerque, when the bear is falling towards Walt's house, there is a quick shot of Albuquerque suburbia and mountains. Two major streets are visible, the one on the right is Eubank Blvd and the one in the lower left is Wyoming Blvd, both which run north and south through the city. This means the shot is facing north. There are no mountains immediately north of Albuquerque as shown. The closest mountain range, the Sandia Mountains, are on the east side and wouldn't be in that shot. The closest mountain range in the north are the Jemez Mountains, which are 40 miles away. They would barely be visible in that shot (they would look like blue hills in the distance).
Other mistake: When the bear is falling through the sky after the plane crash, it is shown through its point of view. When it starts falling, a shot of northern Albuquerque is shown but when the bear turns over, suddenly it is facing the east. Eubank Blvd is a major north and south street, is seen in the shot of the north. In the latter shot, Candelaria Rd, which is a east and west street is visible. When the bear spun over, it should be showing Eubank Blvd going south.
Cancer Man - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Hank writes Icebreaker on the board, the writing changes drastically. Note the A. (00:00:30)
Box Cutter - S4-E1
Visible crew/equipment: When Skyler gets out her car after speaking to Saul, if you watch the chrome on the door you can see a boom mic moving. (00:18:25)
Visible crew/equipment: When Walter is talking to the CCTV camera, a microphone is visible just below the 'C' in the word Cam. (00:29:54)
One Minute - S3-E7
Character mistake: When Hank is asked to hand over his gun and badge, he just puts his loaded gun on the table. When, in fact, you would remove the magazine and bullet in the chamber before handing it over.
Green Light - S3-E4
Other mistake: When Gus and Mike meet up in the parking lot, Mike hands Gus a copy of Walter's medical report. When the camera pans down to show the report in Gus' hand, the patient name listed is Jack Test and not Walter White. (00:30:04)
Continuity mistake: When at Tuco's house, Jesse is first shown emptying his pockets and then getting everything back, even going as far as showing the clean table at the first timestamp, but when he's back at his car at the second timestamp, he doesn't have his keys, supposedly left at the table. (00:32:23 - 00:43:24)
Character mistake: After Walt tries to slap the fly on the paper, he lifts his hand and the math is wrong on one of the sums. He has 6,012 + 7,287 = 13,301. But the actual answer is 13,299. (00:05:45)
Hazard Pay - S5-E3
Other mistake: Jesse and his girlfriend and Brock are all apparently playing the video game, but when they show the TV it's only split screen so only 2 are really playing.
...and the Bag's in the River - S1-E3
Character mistake: Hank finds the bag of meth in Krazy8's car. He picks it up to show Gomez and examine it. However, he does all of that in his ungloved hand. He then proceeds to place the meth in an evidence bag. (00:43:10)
Chosen answer: It is part of the ritual for la Santa Muerte. It is a sign of humility and sacrifice.
