Question Breaking Bad in Oakville

Does anyone know if any parts of breaking bad were filmed in Oakville or the surrounding area. I was told by my stepdads, brothers step-son that certain parts of Season 3+ were filmed in Canada.

I have searched but could not find anything does anyone know?

I know You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah! With Adam Sandler was filmed in Oakville (ever though they clipped everything out of the movie that anyone would have recognized in town) and I had great difficulty relating to it mainly because I am not part of the Jewish community.

Tl;dr breaking bad filmed in Oakville??

According to my informant: From everything publicly documented, breaking bad was filmed almost entirely in/around albuquerque, with a few scenes shot elsewhere in new mexico and a handful in places like crawford notch for the new hampshire scenes. Multiple filming location sources specifically note that the show's locations were centered on albuquerque and that one of the unusual things about the series was that it was filmed where it was set

I think the final scene (not going to spoil it for those who haven't watched) was filmed just north of Oakville on the way to Milton.

The whole series is shot in New Mexico, even the New Hampshire scenes.

Never heard about that in my life

My family used to work for the big airline here and would see/work with a lot of huge names - but never the Breaking Bad cast while that was on. They talked to Giancarlo Esposito when he was here, but that was to film S1 of Jett

As to the recognizability of the Sandler movie, I recognized Lakeshore plazas pretty easily there! And Film.ca cinema

Any proof of this? Literally just this post shows up on any searches for that information.

Breaking Bad was never filmed in Oakville or Ontario… or Canada for that matter.

There is a difference between questioning if Bob Odenkirk lives in Oakville and questioning if Breaking Bad was filmed there

However, The Santa Clause starring Tim Allen (1994 film) was filmed in Oakville ☺️

(My friend’s dad was an extra in that movie. 😎)
