...and the Bag's in the River - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Walt collapses we see the blood stain on the floor is a deep crimson. When he collects the bits of plate, the stain is very faded, even though only a few minutes has passed.

...and the Bag's in the River - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When we see the basement while Krazy-8 is alive, we can see that there is no light coming in from outside or any windows. When Jesse returns and goes to the basement all of a sudden there is loads of daylight streaming into the basement. (00:42:10)
