The Sopranos mistake picture

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: At the start, the woman opens one door and calls for Mr Soprano. The camera then shows the room she's come from and both doors are open. (00:02:10)

Ssiscool

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)

Ssiscool

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)

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Carmela tries to persuade Meadow to go into NYC and go to the Ritz. When she does she has her arm hanging at her side with gloves visible. Camera changes and now her arm is in front of her and the gloves are no longer visible. (00:37:50)

Pilot - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: As Alex, Salvatore and Hesh walk along the bridge, if you watch the right side of the screen you can see a crew member wearing a purple T-shirt and holding a piece of equipment high in the air. (00:39:39)

Jack Vaughan

46 Long - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: During the scene in the office of Bada Bing, Pauli, Christopher, Tony, Silvio and Pussy are all together and the TV is on. Pussy is reading something and Christopher is lifting weights. In between shots, the weights change from Chris's right arm to his left and back again. It could be argued that he changes arms when the camera is off him, but there is one instance where it definitely happens too quickly for this to be the case.

The Sopranos mistake picture

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.

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.

Super Grover

46 Long - S1-E2

Visible crew/equipment: When the load of DVD players is brought to Bada Bing, just as the guys begin removing the boxes from the car's trunk, the reflections of the crew and the boom pole are visible on the car's surface.

Super Grover

Christopher Moltisanti: So, you won't talk about this to anybody?
Black Thug: I got the mouth of a statue, ni**a.

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.

Christopher - S4-E3

Question: How could Bobby be talking to Karen when she had just died in the car accident? he was stuck in traffic talking to her on the phone, and the traffic was caused by her accident, so she would already be dead.

Answer: Bobby Jr. was talking to his son (Bobby III) on the phone, not Karen. Karen couldn't get a hold of Bobby Jr, so she called her son and told him to give his dad a message. For whatever reason, Bobby III waited to call his dad (perhaps he couldn't get a hold of him at first as well). During this time, Karen had her accident and traffic backed up enough for Bobby Jr. to be stuck in it.
