Calling All Cars - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: When Junior comes downstairs from shaving and enters the kitchen, his face and left ear have some smears of shaving cream. Junior walks into the den in the scene that immediately follows, and the smears of shaving cream have increased under his nose and on his left ear. (00:13:40)

Whitecaps - S4-E13

Continuity mistake: In all of the episodes where Carmela hosts her film club, the theater seats in the Sopranos' screening room are gold, attached with wide trays for snacks, beverages, etc. But in this episode, when Tony and A.J. move the seats outside, they are maroon, without the wide trays.

Pie-O-My - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: While standing outside the horse's stall, Ralphie's arms go from being at his sides, to folded across his chest throughout the whole scene.

Irregular Around the Margins - S5-E5

Audio problem: From a front angle, Tony tells Adriana about how good his doctor is. Cut to a side angle and Tony's voice is out of sync with the image. Then back to the previous front angle and the audio syncs perfectly.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: During the show's opening credits for the entire run of the series, when Tony drives up to the NJ Turnpike toll gate, the lane 7 machine spits out a toll ticket, and Tony reaches for it. It then cuts to a close-up as Tony grabs hold of the toll ticket, but this ticket machine is now different; note all the stickers. The close-up was shot at another lane's ticket machine.

Boca - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: At dinner, when Meadow gets upset, she leaves the table and heads upstairs, so Carmela leaves the table and follows her daughter. Then, when Livia gets insulted, she tells Junior to take her home, and she too leaves the table. The problem occurs when Tony tells Junior, "You mangia, Uncle Jun', she'll come back," and in the next shot facing Junior, the reflection on the door shows Carmela and Livia are still seated at the table.

Isabella - S1-E12

Deliberate mistake: While Tony stands beside his car, the first assassin shoots at him, and when Tony dives into the front seat we see the car's dashboard. After struggling with the second assassin, when Tony crashes into the parked car, in the shot from inside the car, there are two issues: the car has a different style dashboard with no air vents, and the rearview mirror is missing; then it reappears.

Boca - S1-E9

Visible crew/equipment: During the dinner scene, in some of the shots facing Junior, the reflection of the boom operator (wearing a watch) holding up the boom pole/mic is visible on the glass, toward the top left side of the screen. Additionally, in two shots facing Junior (POV beside Carmela's right shoulder), we can see part of a black reflector screen (collapsible type) between Junior and Carmela.

Toodle-F***ing-Oo - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Janice goes to Livia's mailbox and retrieves the envelope with her disability check, the words "TOTAL DISABILITY" only appear on the check in the close-up, but not in the previous shot. Additionally, the silver screen door is gone between the first wide shot when Janice pulls the mail out of the mailbox, and the next close-up as Janice looks through the mail in her hands (she did not open the screen door between shots).

D-Girl - S2-E7

Visible crew/equipment: While Sal and AJ are at the batting cage, Matt starts telling AJ about the German philosopher Nietzsche. As the camera moves backwards in this dolly shot, we can see two metal T-marks on the ground, as well as the dolly track at the left side of the screen.

Moe n' Joe - S6-E10

Visible crew/equipment: When Jim's beeper goes off in the middle of the night, Vito decides to go along with him to the emergency. In the first shot on scene, there are two chalk T-marks on the sidewalk, and Vito stands at one of them.

Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: You know where I was yesterday when you called?.. I was outside a whorehouse, while a guy that works for me was inside beating the shit out of a guy that owes me money. Broke his arm. Put a bullet in his kneecap.
Dr Jennifer Melfi: How'd that make you feel?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Wished it was me in there.
Dr Jennifer Melfi: Giving the beating or taking it?

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.
