Trivia

In a short scene in the original Breaking Bad series Jesse Pinkman picks up a bug crawling slowly on the ground and smiles at it before setting it back down, a subtle insight into his kind and gentle nature. In El Camino there is a similar scene where Jesse picks up a beetle from the ground, symbolizing he is still the same person at heart despite being held captive, tortured and watching loved ones die.

Goofs

User Reviews

Solid addition to an amazing franchize

To those saying its "a masterpiece": It's not. There's nothing in this movie we haven't seen before and that's ok. In its context and with the background this is a solid sendoff for Jesse with some amazing moments and some good fanservice (maybe 1° too much for my taste).

It was not as good as I hoped it would be, but it's certainly a good movie and I'm happy this hasn't gone wrong.

Not sure if Vince is planning on doing some more of these, but I'd be down.
