Proshai, Livushka - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: Tony's hair length alternates between a short buzz cut and longer in different shots in the scene where Sil, Paulie and Chris visit him after his mother dies.

Another Toothpick - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Bacala is telling Uncle Jun about his father and the accident, Uncle Junior gets angry and starts throwing things around, he is wearing glasses. You can see that in between throwing one of the items, he is not wearing his glasses, then he is wearing them again.

University - S3-E6

He Is Risen - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: Ralph and Jackie are in Rose's kitchen talking. After Jackie pours a box of Trix cereal, he sets it down with the front of the box (Trix is showing) facing the camera which is set awkwardly on the counter - it is not set down flat on the counter. For the remaining shots of the scene showing Jackie, the cereal box is now flat on the counter with the back of the box facing the camera. (00:31:55)

He Is Risen - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: At Nuovo Vesuvio, Artie pours some Candolini for himself and Tony, then sets the bottle down with the back label (it has the barcode) facing out in the wide shot. In the next close-up, as Ralphie sits down at the table, now the front label of the Candolini is facing out, but when Tony gets up to leave, the bottle reverts to the back label facing out in the wide shot.

Super Grover

He Is Risen - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When at the funeral parlour, Paulie and Silvio are on the settee and Tony sits on a chair. In close up shots of Tony only, his hands are clasped on his lap, but in long shots of all three characters, he has a hand on each knee.

Pine Barrens - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: When Meadow is looking mournfully at the Scrabble board, she sees that Jackie laid "the" using the letter e from "oblique" that she laid. However, when they were playing the game, the only word after oblique that Jackie laid before leaving was "ass".

Pine Barrens - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: Christopher is trying to start a fire with sticks and has a cigarette in his mouth. He starts to go back into the van with the cigarette in his mouth but in the next shot the cigarette is gone and he is rubbing his hands together.

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.
