Jesse is racing against the clock, with help from his crew, avoiding capture to get enough money together to buy a 'new dust filter for his Hoover MaxExtract PressurePro model', a new life.

Trivia

During the production of Breaking Bad (2008), Vince Gilligan had always wanted to film in the Painted Desert in Arizona but schedules and budgets prevented that. He was able to finally fulfil that dream with this production, once permission was given by the Navajo nation. Cast and production members had to reach the location by helicopter.

Goofs

Jesse's beard in "El Camino" is much bushier than it was in the "Breaking Bad" finale.

[first lines]
Jesse: You know he's not gonna be happy.
Mike Ehrmantraut: No. I suspect he won't. Only you can decide what's best for you, Jesse. Not him, not me.
Jesse: I'm out.
[pause]
Jesse: So what are you gonna do with all that money?
Mike Ehrmantraut: Same thing I do with all the other money. How 'bout you, teenage retiree? You'll be livin' the dream.
Jesse: Not sure I should stick around town.
Mike Ehrmantraut: That's a start.
Jesse: Nothin' really keepin' me here. Where would you go? If you were me?

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.
