Caballo sin Nombre - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: When Walter takes Junior home from school, at first there are no shadows or sun hitting the ground in front of the garage. In the next shot the sun appears.

Fly - S3-E10

Audio problem: When Walt yells at Jesse through the lab's entrance door, the sound is very muffled, as if the door is a major insulator of sound. However, later, when Jesse yells at Walt through the same door, the sound is much clearer, and hardly muffled at all. (00:22:15 - 00:23:55)

Caballo sin Nombre - S3-E2

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene after Walter took his son from the school and parks his car in front of their house (before the pizza scene), you can see the camera mounted on a crane while filming the scene reflected on the car's windscreen.

Green Light - S3-E4

Other mistake: The ATM video from the gas station in the desert should have shown Jesse and not just the RV. (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.

Abiquiu - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: In the car driving after seeing Saul, Skyler tells Walt "This is what happens when you decide to pay the bills with drug money" The shot from behind shows Walt's head completely in the shadows. When it cuts to a closer angle, suddenly he has light around his head and part of his neck with only a small shadow cast on him.

Quantom X

Abiquiu - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: When Jesse and Andrea are making out on the couch, they discuss having a bear. And she mentions she's cleaned out of anything else. During this sentence, they are positioned where Jesse is leaning forward looking down at her. But mid sentence there is a cut, and suddenly he's leaning his head back with her looking down at him.

Quantom X

Abiquiu - S3-E11

Audio problem: After Walt Jr and Skylar leave the room, Marie starts to leave. The camera is focused on Hank once she walks off screen and you can hear the sound of the door closing behind her. It then cuts to showing her suddenly just getting to the door and opening it to walk out.

Quantom X

Fly - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Walt finally goes back home and is sleeping in bed, the shadows of his window blinds are cast over his face and body. But his nose is pretty clear out in the light. When the camera cuts to a close up, suddenly the shadows are over his nose.

Quantom X

Kafkaesque - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: As Saul is trying to explain to Jesse that he needs to launder his money and is trying to get him to buy the nail salon, Jesse says he's not going to and is looking right at him. It cuts to a different angle showing Saul's face and now suddenly Jesse is partly looking off to the side.

Quantom X

Sunset - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Walt asks Gale to recite the poem he mentions, which Gale does, reluctantly. When he starts the first line, the camera is behind him and he lifts his head to look up at Walt straight in the eyes. When the camera cuts back to a shot of his face, he's suddenly looking down again.

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.

Caballo sin Nombre - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: Walt is driving down a deserted road singing "A Horse with No Name." You can see the roadway behind him through the hole in the headrest. At first, the road is empty. But then a white vehicle quickly approaches. The camera angle changes and there are no vehicles behind him, but a police car coming from the opposite direction passes and makes a u-turn. When the camera angle is back inside Walt's car, the white vehicle turns out to be the police car that just made a u-turn. (00:01:00)

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.
