Isabella - S1-E12

Factual error: During Tony's assassination attempt he struggles with one of the "hit men" for control of a pistol. One can see that the pistol does not contain a magazine.This would limit the shooter to 1 shot, providing the pistol is not equipped with a "magazine disconnect" if it is than it can not be fired at all. It seems unlikely that a "hit man" would be so ill prepared.

Visible crew/equipment: Livia and Junior have a chat about Tony while waiting in line for a movie matinee. It then cuts to the Soprano house, and in the next overhead shot of Tony sprawled on his bed, we can see the T-mark on the floor near the door. In a moment, Lilliana knocks and enters to remind Tony of his appointment.

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.

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.

Visible crew/equipment: While Corrado and Mikey are at Mariolina's wake, just as Corrado says, "Where he spills his guts on some shrink's carpet," we can see the yellow tape mark on the carpet where Corrado had been standing.

Revealing mistake: When Tony buys the orange juice off the street vendor (just before he is attacked by the hitmen) you can see the magazines on the vendor's stand being blown around by the "heavy winds" that are present throughout the episode. However, if you look behind Tony, you can see the scenery is almost completely still. The "wind" is coming from just off camera. (00:27:17)

More quotes from The Sopranos

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: Was it Jimmy Altieri standing in the back of the crowd during the Columbus rally scene? He was killed in season one for being an FBI informant and here they probably used him as a stand in... If so, then that is some sort of mistake, because I think, it really is him. (00:15:50)

Answer: That's not Jimmy, just a look-a-like. Jimmy's short and stout, the guy in "Christopher" episode is tall and medium built. The hair is also different.
