Pilot - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: When Tony runs with the car against the guy, he wears a protective pad under the pants in the area where Tony punches him. (00:10:54)

Pilot - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: When Tony collapses in his back garden, and the barbecue grill explodes, some coals (supposedly thrown into the air by the explosion) land next to Tony's body. Watch this moment closely however and you can see that the coals come into shot from left of the screen and not above from the air as they should. Obviously thrown in by a nearby crew member, just off-screen. (00:19:48)

Jack Vaughan

Pilot - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: When Tony runs over the guy near the start, the damage to the car is inconsistent with a hit and a run, and the lights are hanging out but the bumper doesn't have a mark. (00:11:05)

Mistakes

Guy Walks Into a Psychiatrist's Office - S2-E1

Plot hole: In this episode Tony tells Janice that he has just put their mother's house on the market. In season one, the house had already been sold.

Suggested correction: Tony and others say many things that aren't accurate. While season one gives the firm impression that the house is sold, it's not confirmed on screen. There may have been a deal where the intended buyer couldn't get financing or a closing never took place for other reasons.

Trivia

Trivia: Whenever the mobsters in the Sopranos pay they almost always take a wad of cash out of their pocket and pull off the top 3-4 bills and hand it over. If Tony is paying for a pizza he pulls off 3-4 bills. If he's bribing someone he pulls off 3-4 bills. No matter what the amount is for that particular situation, it's always covered with the top 3-4 bills of the cash wad.

Questions

Season 1 generally

Question: During a restaurant scene Drea deMatteo plays a hostess. She seats the Sopranos, but does not seem to know them. Was she picked to play Adriana after this episode?

Answer: Yup, just like Nicholas Lea was chosen to play Alex Krycek on the X-files after showing up on 1 episode as a different character.

Grumpy Scot

Answer: No need to go that far for another example. There's also the famous Gino from the episode where Christopher shoots the seller in a bakery, which miraculously becomes Vito.
