Breaking Bad: 17 Hidden Details in Bag's in the River (S1E3)

[@masonin8mm]

No amount of de-aging will ever top Saw 3D where they de-aged Tobin Bell by putting him in a backwards cap.

[@betterwatchtv]

[@boomboombb]

you cannot deny jigsaw looked cool as fuck in that fit

[@DoofDroop]

I forgot Marie shoplifts this early in the show

[@betterwatchtv]

Yeah! I guess it was really a core part of her character!

[@ekathe85]

She didn't want the shoes in black. She was hoping for the clerk to go get them backstage so she could lift the purple ones out of sight.

[@28.nguyenquocthong34]

You forget one detail, this is the episode that introduced flashbacks that take place before the show so the filmmakers decided to use a blue filter to symbolize flashbacks to make the brba world more immersive without using texts that seems out of place

[@betterwatchtv]

Oh! I did not know about the blue filter! Thanks!

[@kristina1097]

Yep! They use the same filter for the same reason in Better Call Saul

[@Saymyfavoritemeal]

It wasn't used during the flashback at the beginning of Full Measure, or Ozymandias (though that one is more understandable).

[@t221000]

I was just thinking how Walt being a chemist easily could have poisoned Krazy 8 rather than strangling him.

[@betterwatchtv]

Yeah, it’s pretty shocking in hindsight that he didn’t think of this.

[@t221000]

@@betterwatchtv It could have been so easy in a sandwich 🥪

[@betterwatchtv]

Indeed. Maybe he learned from this for his later poisonings.

[@anthonyp31388]

But then we wouldn't have such an amazing scene with crazy 8's eyes popping out of his head

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

​@@anthonyp31388yeah that's the thing they probably never expected the show to become one of the top five most influential shows of all time at least. So now every single scene and the logic behind every single premise is scrutinized quite heavily. And almost no TV show can hold up to that kind of scrutiny no matter the realism. Kind of like all the quirky editing decisions in the sopranos that get called out now.

[@patrickmicah5913]

The official Wikipedia page for every time de-aging was used in a motion picture says that it was used in season 6 episode 11 of better call Saul, but when you go to the article itself that's linked it says that they didn’t use any

[@betterwatchtv]

Huh, interesting!

[@peterskrobola8753]

I didn’t realize they used de-aging. I disagree that they should’ve done it for BCS. It would have been too expensive and not been convincing enough.

[@betterwatchtv]

Yeah, I agree. It probably would have been a distraction. Especially since it would apply to almost every character! 😆

[@peterskrobola8753]

@@betterwatchtv The only character who looked looked distractingly older for me was Don Eladio.

[@Edreinadar]

i saw this in a comment section, so In the walt and jesse fight scene, the picture behind the toilet is shown to be knocked off and re appears again unknocked

[@betterwatchtv]

Yes, you’re absolutely right! I feel like I tried to find that when I made this video and couldn’t, but I definitely see it now! 🙂🤷‍♂️

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

Breaking bad was my third favorite job of all time and knowing that it's no dropped to 158..

[@ThePoki]

Gonna binge watch these videos! Thank you so much!!!

[@betterwatchtv]

Thank *you*! I’m glad you found the channel!

[@ewetwentythree]

Another great video, I'd suggest the Walter falling down face as an emoji. It's obvious, but could be pretty funny to use in videos

[@betterwatchtv]

Thanks! Interesting thought… I wonder if you’d be able to tell what it is when it’s so small!

[@vesuvyan]

Fun little fact for those of you who have watched the Wire. The Actress playing Wendy getting solicited by someone thinking she was a real prostitute is also reminiscent of the story that someone tried to actually buy (Or sell to, cant quite remember) drugs from the actor who plays the character Bubbles, because he looked so much like an actual addict.

[@betterwatchtv]

Oh, funny! Thanks!

[@EpicReality]

Hi. Stumbled upon one of the later episodes, loved it, and am now in the process of binge watching it all. Thank you so much, please keep going through this show, move on to the sopranos or dora the explorer or literally whatever. Your format is great. Just the right amount off sass without being the usual youtuber cheesy

[@betterwatchtv]

I love to hear it! Thank you so much!! You made me think of Tuco saying, “Blue, yellow, pink. Whatever, man. Just keep bringing me that.” 😂 Glad to know I’ll still have one subscriber when I pivot to Dora!

[@mistaknista3933]

I always thought that Marie only asked for black shoes as a distraction tactic to make it easier to steal the purple ones. But after watching your video, I now agree that the employee's behavior triggered Marie and that she only then spontaneously decided to steal. You can see it in Marie's face and it makes more sense for her character. Besides, it would just be unnecessarily suspicious to ask for something only to then disappear right away. Thanks for the new perspective and the cool videos 👍

[@Vincent_Atomic]

why was the reference to pulp fiction mentioned in the video but not the reference to kill bill with the scene with the sandwich? in the movie kill bill the sandwich is prepared and cut exactly the same way as in breaking bad

[@betterwatchtv]

Ah, thanks! I just missed it!

[@Schwartzzz]

WELD?!

[@betterwatchtv]

I know, right!? I want to know why nobody has ever talked about this!

[@Piece4]

ngl these videos should get allot more mannn

[@betterwatchtv]

Thanks! I’m glad *you’re* watching!

Thank you, Gabe!!

[@SamuelNormand_Burgunday]

0:31 There was digital de-aging done on Better call Saul for the episode "Breaking Bad" during the RV scene. It was done on both Saul and Jessie but Walter was left untouched. The de-aging effect was made subtle/natural on purpose to stay consistent with the de-ageing makeup work done on the show prior. But if you could compare the original plates versus the comped ones, wrinkles had been reduced a lot. Meaning it was done well enough that people did not see there was VFX done here, and also the fact that it was shot on bluescreen this whole sequence. (outside the RV, outside the windows) Source: I worked on this sequence.

[@betterwatchtv]

No way!!! That's amazing! It's like a year in the future, but do you mind if I share your comment when I cover that episode? (And feel free to share any other tidbits you want the world to know!) Thanks so much!

[@kw3593]

I’ve never heard of Scimatics either, thanks for the explanation.

[@betterwatchtv]

Happy to help!

[@Mike53534]

3:41 I noticed that in the shot where walt walks up the stairs after picking up the broken pieces of the plate, he leaves a piece on the bloodstain on the floor which might suggest that krazy 8/domingo wanted to kill walt as revenge for the death of his cousin emilio

[@betterwatchtv]

Revenge makes sense (in addition to what he did to Krazy-8 himself)! I think it’s a potato chip on the bloodstain?

[@Einstein.Albert.official]

2:17 the picture fell of the wall and magically reapeared at the wall

[@betterwatchtv]

Ah yeah, good catch!!

[@kenmckinnell8153]

Principal Molina fills in for Mr. White, and we get to watch a movie? Great day in Chemistry class!

[@betterwatchtv]

[@SkylineConsortium]

Is Walt Jr being at the motel with Hank the closest he ever gets to Jesse?

[@betterwatchtv]

That’s interesting… Probably!

[@LambofGod69]

1:22 I don't know what the type or name is but that tag is identical to the one issued for my military dress uniform

[@betterwatchtv]

Interesting! I looked it up and I do see "Standard Issued ASU Nameplates" do look just like that!

[@jverm]

You can actually see the shards sitting on top of the plate and then fly off at 3:37

[@betterwatchtv]

Is that true? I'm only seeing potato chips! :)

[@jverm]

@@betterwatchtv Damn you're right idk what I was thinking yesterday 😤 Love all these videos thank you!!

[@betterwatchtv]

That’s okay! Thank you so much!

[@vukandtheoldyears1.234]

you missed a thing, in the show the intro has "breaking" and "bad" connected but in the 3rd episode they are not.

[@betterwatchtv]

So I remember reading this, and to this day I still can't figure out what this is talking about. I don't see any difference in the intro! Could you explain it to me, please? :)

[@vukandtheoldyears1.234]

normally when the breaking bad intro plays the "breaking" and "bad" words are in kind of green squares, they are connected diagonaly, yet in ep3 the "bad" square is connected to the K in breaking it sounds stupid and funny, but i noticed it on rewatch.

[@JesusIovesyou100]

I doubt this was intentional but I think it's intriguing that the plate had 7 total pieces, while missing one, being that 7 is the (holy) number of completion.

[@betterwatchtv]

Huh, yeah!

[@Dog-man682]

2:22 silly fight

[@betterwatchtv]

[@HeisBeppo]

Was the crust cutting really just for Crazy-8, then carried on in his memory or something? I thought that was just a thing Walt did...

[@betterwatchtv]

I think he often picked up mannerisms of others!

[@robmckennie4203]

More than once walt adopts the habits of people he killed

[@HeisBeppo]

Re-watching I'm catching that detail a lot more. On my first viewing I thought he had some kind of OCD, but now I understand he'd just a control freak.

[@Hysteria98]

Perhaps it was that Walt tried to take on the mannerisms to loosely mentally become the ruthless people he killed. Even in small ways like this.

Carmen is so hot its absurd.

[@MrRipper557]

I would love something clarified I heard the story about the actress playing Wendy getting solicited (although I guess she use to play on csi a long time ago) but did this happen during the shooting of the first season or 3rd season? Or both? Cause everytime I hear people talking about it it is either during the hank and Walt Jr scene or the montage in season 3 before the ricine plan

[@betterwatchtv]

Great question! It's from the montage at the start of S3 E12 and I talk about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmHaqKmtpcyfnbM

[@MrRipper557]

@betterwatchtv okay so it never happened during season 1, just season 3

[@betterwatchtv]

@@MrRipper557 That's my understanding. Because in the Season 3 montage, they had her walking around for 2 hours with the crew further back. So it was more likely for someone to misinterpret the situation!

[@MrRipper557]

@betterwatchtv yeah that makes the most sense... I imagine the guy who was told she was just a actor got the face from her agent and their face was just lol jk?
