The Sopranos

Pie-O-My - S4-E5

Revealing mistake: A different horse is used for close-ups and race shots; you can tell by looking at the white patch on Pie-O-My's head, which is much bigger in the close-ups.

Mayham - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: When Paulie Walnuts is talking to Tony in the hospital room, the close up of the heart monitor shows the heart rate in highlighted text, with the word "Tachycardia" flashing. In the shot from Paulie's point of view, the heart rate is in normal text and "Tachycardia" is not flashing.

Cold Stones - S6-E11

Deliberate mistake: Tony smashes AJ's front windshield of his Nissan SUV one time with a plastic sports helmet and it leaves a hole 4 times the size. Not only is the scale size of helmet to hole incorrect, but front vehicle windshields don't shatter like that. Modern windshields are made of laminated safety glass, which consists of two curved sheets of glass with a plastic layer laminated between them for safety, and bonded into the window frame. It would've taken many impacts to cause such a hole, not one hit. (00:49:00 - 00:49:45)

Show generally

Revealing mistake: In at least one scene at the Bada Bing, the neon sign reading "Satin Dolls" can been seen reflected in the mirrors. Satin Dolls is the the name of the real strip bar where the Bada Bing scenes are filmed.

Knight in White Satin Armor - S2-E12

Revealing mistake: While Christopher and Furia are dismembering Richie Aprile on a meat saw, you can see that the blade of the saw is still, but the blood is splattering all over the place and you can hear the sound of the meat saw cutting through flesh. (00:49:55)

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.

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".

A Hit is a Hit - S1-E10

Audio problem: In the first long shots of Visiting Day playing at the club, the lead vocal is heard, but the singer is standing well back from the mic and does not appear to be singing.

Tony Soprano: Oh, poor baby. What do you want, a Whitman's Sampler?

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.
