Vince Gilligan originally conceived the project as a minisode titled "63" that would have been produced for the series' 10th anniversary as a gift to fans, acting as a final 63rd episode of Breaking Bad, but was soon developed into a full episode and then feature length film, to more effectively make use of the cost of assembling a cast and crew. Jesse setting the explosion at Kandy Welding Co. and then discovering that he was wounded during the gunfight. The scene continues into Ed Galbraith driving to Best Quality Vacuum where he finds Jesse asleep in Badger's car outside. Jesse opens the trunk, revealing the cash inside and Ed takes his gun, puts it into the duffle bag and leads Jesse inside the store, giving him instructions, promising to look at Jesse's wound and offering him a choice of where to relocate to, stating "no guarantees, I'll do what I can." As Ed heads inside, Jesse collapses from the pain of his wound. Thirteen characters from Breaking Bad appear in El Camino: Jesse Pinkman, Mike Ehrmantraut, Badger, Skinny Pete, SAC Ramey, Old Joe, Todd Alquist, Ed Galbraith, Diane Pinkman, Adam Pinkman, Kenny, Walter White and Jane Margolis. Seven characters from Better Call Saul also appear: White, Pinkman, Ehrmantraut, Galbraith, Suzanne Ericsen, Clarence, and a police officer played by Simon Drobik.

After Saul Goodman left Albuquerque, his office was turned into a restaurant called "Duke City Sports Bar." The release of the film on Netflix was timed so that the lyrics of the song featured in the end credits, "Static on the Radio" by Jim White, "Three A.M.

This is perhaps later teased in the Better Call Saul episode, " 50% Off", where a similar damaged gnome also appears at the end of the episode's teaser. Lydia's impending death is confirmed, stating that while she is still alive, she is in critical condition from the ricin poisoning and not expected to survive. It's a portrait of one man's simultaneous ascent (to drug lord) and descent (into moral depravity). In an extraordinary performance, Bryan Cranston, playing Walter White, takes us with him every step of the way. To get a sense of the scale of his achievement, just compare the first and final season covers: in the former, a mildly quizzical-looking man in white Y-fronts holds a gun in a way that suggests he doesn't know how to use it. In the latter, a monster looks out, a barely discernible snarling shadow. It's a different man and the same man. It's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

Skinny Pete flushing his drugs, playing video games and preparing his story for the police as well as his arrest.Notably, each season of Better Call Saul begins with a Breaking Bad epilogue, in which we see Saul lying low as an employee at a Cinnabon in Omaha, Nebraska (as he promised he would go to in Breaking Bad). The most recent flash forward, seen at the beginning of Better Call Saul season 5, shows Saul deciding to take a serious matter into his own hands — and in a way, returning to the old Saul we know and love (So much for lying low).
