46 Long - S1-E2

Visible crew/equipment: Livia tells Tony that Junior was looking for him and that he sounded agitated. It then cuts to a long shot of Satriale's, and at the right side of the screen, we can see the reflection of the boom operator holding up the boom pole/mic.

Remember When - S6-E15

Visible crew/equipment: At the hotel's complimentary breakfast buffet, Paulie loads up a plate filled with Danish and Yoplait for the drive down to Florida. It then cuts to the Wycoff Therapeutic Center, and at the start of this first shot, we can see the boom operator (papers in the back pocket) with left arm up, at the right side of the screen. The reflection of the moving boom pole is also visible over the fireplace mantle.

46 Long - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Tony shows up at Livia's house with a bouquet of flowers, in the exterior shot note the transparency of the screen door's glass, the front door silver-color knob with its back plate, as well as the deadbolt cylinder. As Tony enters the doorway in the next interior shot, we cannot see out through the screen door's glass, the door knob is gold-color, and both the knob's back plate and the deadbolt cylinder have vanished.

Isabella - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: At the hospital, when Agent Harris presents his business card in case Tony changes his mind, Harris holds his card at its bottom so it's up over his hand, but in the next shot facing Tony, Harris holds the card at its top so it's below his hand, and it continues this way in the next shot as Carmela takes it from his hand.

Isabella - S1-E12

Visible crew/equipment: After Paulie and Silvio hug AJ and Meadow at the hospital, when Meadow tells them Tony is with Carmela, we can see the boom pole and mic's moving reflection on the glass, at the top of the screen. Then, as AJ tells Meadow that he doesn't believe it was a carjacking, the mic's reflection dips into view again on the glass.

Cold Cuts - S5-E10

Continuity mistake: At Uncle Pat's farm, when Tony sits down to breakfast and the conversation turns to terrorism, when Pat says, "Not my problem much longer," we see the newspaper in Tony B's hands in the wide shot, but it cuts to a close-up and the newspaper is turned the opposite way, with no images and different body text.

Knight in White Satin Armor - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When Janice is trying on her wedding gown with Carmela, her tattoo is gone. However, in all the other shots, her tattoo is above her cleavage line, between her boobs. It's nowhere to be seen in the wedding dress shots.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Actually, her tattoo is visible. The style of the wedding dress she had on was obviously chosen for the way that it NEARLY covered up the tattoo. It is easily seen if your eyes are not glued to her cleavage near the 19 minute mark.

Sorry. There is no way her tattoo is covered up. I looked at the prior engagement party scene and jumped to the wedding dress, this is an error. There is no covering it up.

The tattoo is there and it is definitely covered up. Look at her right boob, not left, since we are seeing a reflection of her in the mirror, and you'll find that tattoo all right.

Suggested correction: Actually there is more than one shot where you can't see the tattoo at all. It depends on the angle. In most shots the top of the tattoo is always visible and in others it's not at all.
