5 corrected entries in season 1

(26 votes)

Cat's in the Bag... - S1-E2

Corrected entry: Just as the camera shows Jessie lighting his crack pipe, there is a TV playing and the screen shows a man with a razor to his hairline. Camera does an instant cut and now said razor is by his cheek. (00:37:20)

Correction: This isn't a mistake for "Breaking Bad." That's how the scene cuts in The Three Stooges short film "Hokus Pokus" (1949). What we see in "Breaking Bad" is a continuous showing of the actual shaving scene.

Season 1 generally

Corrected entry: Walt steals 2 masks from the school lab. When they go cook and Crazy8 and Emilio show up, he kills them with the gas. Because of the fire he puts one of the masks on himself and the other one on Jesse and they drive away with both masks, but the DEA find one of the masks at the cook site.

Correction: The mask was found by a little girl. Her mother gave it to the investigators while they were at the cook site, but that's not where it was found. Walt discarded it where the RV ran off the road.

Gray Matter - S1-E5

Corrected entry: When Badger is demonstrating the "Helicopter" to Jesse, he spins the sign in such a way that he would be holding on to something in the middle of the arrow on his side. However, when he brings the arrow down, you can see that there is nothing he could have been holding on to. (00:03:00)

Ssiscool

Correction: He doesn't "hold" onto anything, he puts his finger in the hole and spins it around his finger. You can see his finger sticking out as he raises the arrow up, in the middle of the "O" in TO.

Season 1 generally

Corrected entry: Walter White correctly starts to lose his hair at the beginning of the chemotherapy. The errors occur afterwards (I know this from my own experience): 1. The mustache would fall out as well, 2. Walt has hair stubble throughout the treatment (and even has to shave his head!), while in reality a "chemo-head" is simply bald as a baby face since the hair is gone.

Correction: Every person's hair loss is different. My friend is going through chemo and basically has a whole head of baby hair...thin, wispy, but still there. Not everyone's hair reacts to chemo the same way.

Cancer Man - S1-E4

Corrected entry: Jesse takes a hit from his pipe, at which point, you can see a vaporizer device in his hand. This is used in production to create the white vapor smoke that they exhale while smoking. It has a metal mouthpiece and what looks like a small LCD on it. It is not a glass meth pipe. (00:14:10)

Correction: That is not a handheld vaporizer with a metal mouthpiece it is just his torch that he used to light the meth pipe with. You can see he lights it with his left hand and then in the next shot his left hand slightly moves and shows the tip of the torch.

Pilot - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: At the very end of the episode, right after he tells Jesse how he used the red phosphorus to kill the gunmen, Walt leans down to vomit. You can see his microphone transmitter under his shirt. (00:54:20)

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)
