Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (continuity error): The hookah on Gale's coffee table is setup incorrectly when his body is first discovered by the neighbors. In the same scene when Victor arrives and inspects the body briefly, the above shot of the room and Gale's body shows the hookah correctly assembled. In the last scene the hookah is also correctly assembled, but the hose is placed differently than it was in the previously mentioned scene, possibly due to the investigation.
Goof (continuity error): In the Denny's diner Jessie places his knife and fork down onto his plate to converse with Walter. He picks up only his knife but in the next shot he is holding his fork again.
Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: When Victor falls to the floor, after being 'gutted' by Gus, a fountain of blood pumps onto the floor in a straight line. In the next scene the blood is gone, and instead a pool of blood emerges from under his body.
Goof (revealing mistake): Walt burns his cash in the BBQ and it burns like paper; however, "paper" money is made from cotton.
