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.

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)

Green Light - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Walt is talking to Jesse in Jesse's car, when Jesse pulls out the bag of meth it is in a slide to seal bag. The bag changes between this and a regular ziploc bag from shot to shot. (00:19:30)

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)

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)

Suggested correction: We're not shown the entire footage from the ATM camera so it could have picked him up. However Jesse is too far away from the machine for a useful picture.

Green Light - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Jr says about it being 3 days since the last donation, Skyler is reading a page of the paper that is all columns of text. When the shot changes, there are now pictures on the page and fewer columns of text. (00:37:10)

Green Light - S3-E4

Visible crew/equipment: Skyler is making copies and the scene starts with a shot looking down into the copier (the Green Light). When the shot lightens a bit as the copier continues, you can see the camera lens. This makes sense because the camera is sitting directly on the copier looking down.

Green Light - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Jesse shows Walter his product at the parking lot, Walter first holds the meth bag with his left hand, but in the next shot it's his right.

Green Light - S3-E4

Audio problem: When Walter is berating Jessie at the school parking lot, there is a shot of the back of Walter's head. He is talking but it's clear his mouth isn't matching.

Mas - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: When Gus is showing Walt the lab, the washer leans forward with one item hanging out. Camera cuts and 2 items are hanging out. This is an instant cut and no time for the item to fall into the position. (00:21:20)

Mas - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: When Skyler is talking to her lawyer about how she feels like she is drowning, her hand is in her hair. Camera cuts and both hands are on the table. (00:34:50)

Mas - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: Skyler puts her bag on the counter after talking to her lawyer and does so with both hands. Camera cuts and one hand is on her hip. There was no time for it to get there. (00:37:00)

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.
