##TheManySaintsofNewark #TheSopranos #TonySopranoDeath - Zábava
What was your favorite scene in The Many Saints of Newark? And how do you think is stacked up against the legacy of the Sopranos?
GEN o vese .... Gen o vese ...Genovese
this movie was worse than arties stuffed quail. I wanted a sopranos mini series but I compromised and watched the many saints of newark .
None
When Dickie kills his father is my favorite scene because it captures the ruthlessness and the surprise of the show
The beehive hairdo shot. Even if it wasn't exactly how Janice described it in the series, it was still magnificent. Everyone in that scene played it to understated perfection.. .
Just when I thought I was out. The Sopranos pulled me back in.
Lolz 😆 😆
💜🤟😎
Haha that got me so good cause I just pictured Silvio doing it with the face hahaha
Fax
That line died on the vine 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lorraine Bracco was 100% worried about being type cast. She was originally offered the role of Carmela Soprano but felt it was too similar to her role Karen Hill in Goodfellas. That’s why she became the therapist instead.
It's decade long gap between goodfellahs and sopranos 😂😂she was in nothing in between that time 😂
First she got to be therapist then the rapist got her
Thanks, now I'll never look at the word therapist the same again. @ivanbartulovic2214
She is a nut and can't act.
Movie so fantastically bad it actually tarnishes the very series. Shamefully shitty.
Also a interesting fact is that Dickie Moltisanti was really the only Italian family member to work with African Americans. If you recall, Christopher was also the only one in the crew to work with African Americans multiple times on different jobs.
Tony worked with a black preacher on a real estate scheme in the Sopranos
@@ultraloyalservant2felineov41 facts!
Ahhhhhh the infamous 2 black guys who did 9/11
@@kdub4318 when tony is talking to meadows boyfriend he also mentions that he has buisness associates that are black
Junior worked with those two Blakc guys
You missed how young paulie is in the movie, he's got a phobia of germs and didn't want to get blood on his shirt when torturing that guy with the drill which is a current theme with paulie always keeping himself clean
There’s piss on the shoe laces!!!
@@__-kb9no he can’t stand touching fucking shoelaces
You eva go to tie yah shoes and the laces are wet……from what?
@@brettbaratheon9776 even if your laces are dry, bacterial virusses migraite from the sole.
@@Tony-fx9ky your average men’s shithouse is a fuggin sewa. You can eat maple walnut ice cream out of a bowl in the ladies room.
What I’ve noticed was that Dickie wasn’t a drug addict. At least from what we saw in the movie.
However, people might of assumed so because of the pills that were found in his pocket. But, those pills were made for Tonys Mom.
This had a lasting effect on Christopher believing his dad was a drug addict.
I agree and believe that livia of all people started it at his funeral
Nothing would surprise me
Tony says to him I know you can get stuff or whatever. He implies he knows Dickie sells drugs
@@bodhi8297 Eh I'm pretty sure that was more referring to the fact that they were in a warehouse where Dickies crew was selling and storing stolen products
THANK you!! You're literally the 1 at person I've seen to bring up this point
The guy who played Tony's father on the Sopranos series in flashbacks was way better in the role giving the character much more charisma and danger.
He died
Yeah he was a better actor in the part...I also liked him in his small role in Carlito's Way
@@dtraversodt I don't think berenthal did a bad job necessarily but I'd prefer him as a young pussy malanga or something. You know a character we barely see? Or even dimeo(the actual boss) as a younger man.
@brendanmuller7301 Malanga would have been so cool too. Bobby's dad also would have been a good role for him too
Love all the Easter eggs. One I didn’t see you mention is baby Christopher crying when young Tony tries to carry him. The old lady states that he’s reacting that way because babies know things from the other side. That was a reference to the baby knowing Tony is his murderer.
*That’s some scary shit...*
Funny how the narrator doesn't know that moltosani literally translates into many saints..
@@joshythehand2960 Not to mention how badly he butchered every Italian name. He mispronounced Imperioli several times, along with Genovese and Chianese. My ears are still hurting from it.
@@mikez9492 yeeeeesss. I caught that as well lol
Wtf,
Half the sh#t this goof ball
Is talkng about is allll wrong,
Aren't you people listening,
Also, there’s a line about Dickie’s wife not being able to have kids, or was having trouble having one before Christopher was born. Adrianna tells Christopher in the series that she had previous complications and may have trouble conceiving if they get married. Christopher declares that he has to have a son to carry on the name Moltisanti. However, he actually ends up leaving behind a baby girl
@Johnny Utah this killed me 😂
Poor baby 👶 😢
yea young Joanne(hit AF btw) did say she couldn’t have kids. the next scene, christopher is born. wtf lol
Tony fantasized with the imaginary Italian girl at the cuzzamanos because of his first impression of a beautiful woman when dickie introduced him to guissipina at the docks, that first impression shaped his fantasy girl, who he saw when he was taking prozac and also that vision when he was a baby
That imaginary italian student was an ideal image of his mother and what she lacked, according to Melfi and her analysis. So no, bro, sorry.
@Jonathan Saephan He later asks Carmella, and she denies seeing her, or getting angry enough to say she would cut off his penis, proving that outburst was also part of the hallucination.
NOt a chance related
He had just started taking lithium when he “saw” her. It had nothing to do with Prozac
And when they go to Italy the actual Boss echoes the Fantasy Girl, which we know see points back to Dickie's gumar.
Lorraine Bracco was originally offered the role of Carmela, but she didn’t want to fall into getting type cast as the mafia wife. She also felt the role of Dr. Melfi spoke more to her at that time in her life …
I wonder if she regrets that decision today. Personally, I felt like the casting was perfect in the Sopranos series. They hit the ball out of the park with every actor/role.
Yeah just copy and paste
I thought her casting as Melfi was a deliberate thing. She was the archetype after Goodfellas so I assumed the makers of the sopranos wanted to subvert that.
Crazy how everything seemingly fell into place one way or another.
@@LoudaroundLincoln nah she was originally wanted for the role of Carmela. She talks about it in an episode of the talking sopranos podcast
The many saints is a direct play on moltisanti molti - multi - many santi - saint
@@localseabear8854 it’s correct, moltisanti means many saints.
That’s pretty obvious…..
Corny pun
Yeah, I went to see it with my half Italian friend and he told us this on the way in!
@@localseabear8854 it’s not a stretch 🤦♂️ that’s the direct translation
AJ played nose tackle, not linebacker.
Clearly WDIM never had the markings of a varsity Sopranos commentator.
Where in The Many Saints of Newark was Garry Cooper? Thats what I want to know
@@barney2x4 he was gay Gary Cooper?
@@jaidynr87 Rod Hudson too, I think
Christopher was also referred to as Tony's nephew not his cousin.
@@jaidynr87 nooooo!
All I know is I wish Mr. Gandolfini was around and healthy to see the movie .
Hes gone big time
If he were around, this movie wouldn't have been made. It would have been a Sopranos movie staring James as older Tony.
@@jaydav6521 No it wouldn't have been made because he would've advised Chase not to make it.
@@DaxSports1 I can't speak for a dead man. I just remember that there were rumors about it for years before he died.
I think he would have been proud of how well his son played the part! 🥰
I thought the whole thing about the baby Christopher crying because tony and them mentioning what babies may know more was an interesting touch
Especially since Tony kills Christopher as they mentioned
I thought it was a slight overexplanation
Very interesting indeed, my opinion is that part has multiple meanings with the obvious being him killing Chris but also him always trying to please Christopher but he in return just cries and continues to be a nuisance
Uncle Junior "Cornado"? The "Giovese" crime family? Come on man.
Thank you!
Corrado
@@LuisALaboy that's the literal point
it's so terrible, I can't even finish this video, and forget about liking and subscribing. Maybe do a little research first before making a video.
Michael “Imperelli”
When Paulie said to Tony, "How's your rash?" That was a line that James Gandolfini would say to people on the set of the Sopranos.
Tony also said that to Artie, I think
No kiddin??? Really???
It's ash not rash
@@gutterbois it’s rash. How’s your rash? “It’s itchy”
Why would he say that?
Slight addition to the crow, Adriana said it’s only a bad omen if they break in and flap around, which is exactly what happened in the movie. And also, Tony’s story about Dickie bringing in the TV tray when he died was accurate. Great video, thanks!
It was definitely TV trays….. so Christopher could ‘ watch TV’
Could have just as easily been a crib
@@MIGHTYBOOSCH198 …in the movie Dickie drops TV trays…..
@@StONed-mb1iv lol hes quoting Tony's conversation with Christopher about what happened to Dickie
@@StONed-mb1iv lol
Small thing, but at Janice's catechism Johnny tells Dickie "you gotta get your arms around this thing". Tony uses that phrase a couple times in the show, once to Artie about collecting on his loan to Jean Phillippe, and once to Little Carmine about being boss in NYC.
Facts yesss...but def a phrase I've heard at least 3 decades of breathing here on earth...maybe a common new york saying?? I still get blown away when takin trips somewhere south and a local says how deep my NY accent is.. Even in these super deep liberal cities that are mixed with every kind of human, we ny'rs have such a distinct slang, even foreigners that came here and learned English as a 2nd language, you hear the ny in them!
A lot of the stuff like "get your arms around this thing" and "patio furniture salesmen" are idioms and colloquialisms specific to those areas. Not so much callbacks as that's just common slang.
Ki
In The Sopranos episode “Home Movies” Janice tells the Story about her father Johnny shooting through Livia’s beehive hairdo. Janice mentions that uncle Junior was in the backseat. In the Many Saints of Newark, Dickie Moltisanti and Joann were in the backseat.
See I'm convinced it happened twice because Janice tells it so vividly but she wasn't there in Saints of Newark. Or maybe she just got the facts wrong because she wasn't there, but she tells the story so well. Plus I swear I remember Tony telling Melfey about his Dad shooting her beehive in the living room - maybe I remember it wrong but I can see it happening 3 times.
@@MIGHTYBOOSCH198 weird isn’t it? I haven’t heard it discussed anywhere else
I was thinking about this. Maybe I'm giving too much credit, but I think Chase is subtly showing that people's memories are not facts and we often misremember. Either Janice actually overheard Joanne telling the story at one point or Joanne told Junior's goomar, Rosemarie, who then told Janice. Rosemarie isn't seen or mentioned in the movie.
Similarly, Tony often talks in the show about how Dickie was his mentor, alluding to the business. But, Dickie didn't teach him anything about being a gangster. He was just a good uncle that he enjoyed being around. Dickie looms much larger in Tony's memory though. Maybe because his whole crew was Dickie's crew and he attributes THEIR stories and some of his lessons from THEM to experiences HE had with Dickie instead.
@@SeanGrace I think there is credibility to the misremembering theory. Also, it’s possible Janice heard the story from her mother Lydia which we know was in league with Junior to killTony later on in the series. Could Livia have told the story to Janice in a way to bolster Junior’s credibility? (Place Junior within the inner circle w Johnny instead of Dickie?) Lydia’s relationship w Dickie is something I wished the MSON had delved into a little more.
Maybe this is an ongoing thing he does lol
I noticed in the beginning Joey Diaz's character took a phone call from someone named DiMaggio I'm guessing it was the hit squad that Junior suggested Tony use against Johnny Sac and probably the squad Junior used to kill Dicky. Just an observation.
Edit: I also noticed when Tony threw the hot JBL speakers out of the window Johnny Boy Soprano was standing on the lawn with a dog presumably the same one that he gave to his goomara that in an episode of the Sopranos Tony complained to Johnny's old girl friend about. Saying something like he gave you my dog.
Edit: Also the Hopalong Casadeech, that Dicky said. I remember Vito saying it at the grocery store when he loaned that guy 20K at 2 1/2 points
Ah yes he did say Lou DiMaggio
I forgot about that ! Damn that's dope
Good catch on the dog. It was the same breed as in the photo.
My estimation of Junior Soprano as a man just fucking plummeted.
come on give him a break .He's an emotional man . When it comes to hits on a made guy all bets are off
@Jocelyn Jigsby I’m gonna take a piss do me a favor huh? Hold this?
Fuckin slander, ya ask me.
You’re a goddam hothouse flower
just another toothpick
Also, when Christopher as a baby in the family room with everyone, he only cries when he's around young Tony, and an older lady at the table says "I hear babies know things from the other side" or something to that effect, a great foreshadowing of Christopher's end by the hand of Tony, one of my favorite scenes on the whole movie.
Remember when is the lowest form of conversation.
There is also a scene in the series where Furio states he hates the north (Italy) specifically Genoa and Ralph asks why. I have a feeling Carmela and possibly Ralph were from there. When Meadow was born Carmelas mother said "shes so dark"
North italians rarely migrated to the states, they migrated rather to brazil and argentina, italian immigrants in the united states were mostly southerners
So I've been waiting and watching to see if anyone would bring it up for a month now...are we REALLY not gonna talk about how Christopher was told all thru the series that his father was a junkie and the "drugs" they found in him were in fact for Tony to give to Olivia???
No one wants to point that out though!! Dickie had ZERO addictions! He didn’t even drink that much.. the pills were indeed for Livia, who ironically spreader the false lie about Dickie at his own funeral! Christopher was just a junkie looking to blame anyone but himself! He can’t really even speak on his father when he never got the chance to know him.. he goes off on what Tony or anyone else tells him, like he was there.. lol
Frank Sinatra Jr was also on the sopranos as well, playing himself at the executive card game Tony had when Richie showed up and started some BS
“Cash me out Sunshine”
Robert Patrick in that scene too.
That was a great episode!
Look at this lineup!
One of the best comparison video i've seen yet.
The movie was called "Many Saints" because that is what Moltisanti means. It's a double entendre.
Very allegorical.
Walt Whitman ova heah
That is not a double entendre.
There needs to be a 6 -8 mini prequel series covering between the end of the movie and, say, the 80's with plenty of flashbacks to how Dickie had shaped Tony into what he became. I think the acting skills of Alessandro Nivola isn't used to it's potential as well as Michael Gandolfini. In my simple opinion David Chase is in his zone when stretching a story. Fitting everything into a couple of hours didn't do justice to any of the cast or crew. But what do I know?
That's the thing I never got. They framed this movie as Tony being Dickie's protégé and made it seem like Dickie was working with and training Tony, but the movie showed nothing of that, and then they kill Dickie off before Tony is even working with the family.
I couldn't agree more, we need and want more squeezed out of this. Way too much to cram into two hours.
I basically just Saud the same thing .
Did you listen to the TalkIng Sopranos podcast? David’s Chase talked about this in great detail. HBO wanted to bridge the end of Many Saints and the beginning of The Sopranos, but things fell through. I think Chase is done with Sopranos. He did Many Saints because, even though it was in the same universe, it was different enough. I think he has taken the characters as far as he can without ruining it.
Yes, yes, yes... the only issue would be if Vera Farmiga ,Corey Stoll and Jon Bernthal would reprise their roles in the series
We’re not gonna talk about how this man kept pronouncing Genovese??!?!
or "imperelli" instead of "imperioli"
Coronado soprano lol
FOR REALZZZZZ!!!
The actor that played Sil did amazing. That said, Sil never looked older than Tony in the series, much less significantly older. At Janice’s confirmation, Tony is at most 10-11 while Sil is already almost completely bald. Even though men can lose their hair at a young age, Sil’s actor is young but as bald as Junior was in the series. Just really made no sense from a timeline perspective and really took me out of the illusion.
Bro this dude I know was almost that bad at like 17, it’s definitely possible as far as the balding goes.
i thought that was Silvio father or something
Now to be fair he said "I've known you since you were a kid" meaning he has some years on tony and wasn't close to his age like Jackie, or Ralph, or artie. Also males can go bald at any time many guys start balding in their teens.
Yea and Sil was high ranking in Dickies crew so he had already put in work.
I agree here that they messed up Sil and Pussy. Based on what they showed in 1967, they would have had 10 years on Tony but it didn't seem like that. It all would have made more since if Michael Gandolfini wasn't playing Tony at age 12-13 and was like 16 instead. Alot of stuff in this movie didn't make sense. The beehive hairdo scene had dickie in the back instead of junior. Janice said they heard it from Juniors gumar, Rosalee or something... Complete fuck up imo.
The reference on Dick's funeral of Tony Blundetto (You can figure by seeing the kids eye) sitting there, it is awesome, like the details on the movie are fantastic. I have watched the whole Sopranos saga many times and find it truly amazing!.
I totally agree that Eddie Falco is a great actress when she got into fights with Tony and would start crying it was so real.
edie can get the business
7:32 is wrong. Tony is sitting in the back next to Artie. Jackie was the one he got into a fight with at the phone booth as well as the one who helped him pin down the ice cream man.
Thank you
Amazing, I only caught a few of these myself! Great video!
You definitely missed every Italian last name you attempted.
Left out syllables on every Italian name and calls mainland Italy "Napoleon Italy" instead of Napolitano.
Thank you. I couldn’t take it and had to stop watching.
I couldn't make it more than 2 minutes thanks to that.
Harold's first kill the guy who runs the saints "leon overal", Tony's made his bones by killing a bookie with paulie named "williey overal"
Willy is his Cousin from down South!
Giovessi?? You’re a real reliable source for this stuff huh?
Bravo my dude very concise about 70%. I had seen another videos cause I’m off crazy Sopranos fan seen every episode about 50 times with a 30% that I did not pick up on so refreshing to see you in this video.
I think this has to be one of the most chronically underrated movies in recent memory. Was it perfect? No. Was it well-made, well-cast and well-acted? Yes. Did it scratch that itch about answering the question 'what was it like back in the day?' Very much so! I think a lot of the negativity came from fans who didn't like that it had a different vibe than the show. It wasn't as "fun", more serious. The dialogue wasn't quite as snappy. But to me it stands on its own as a movie without the back story. It's a shame it wasn't a hit, because I would REALLY loved to have seen a sequel with Tony coming up through the ranks in the 1980s.
It is nowhere near underrated. Even a former Mafia underboss thought this movie was racist towards Italians and an overall piece of garbage.
@@kanegarvey848 Oh, if a former mafia underboss thought it was racist it must be terrible!
@@norwegianblue2017 yeah. I'd take the opinions over a former MAFIA boss for a MAFIA movies accuracy. You know since he was in the MAFIA. Movie was a money grab with an all over the place story.
@@kanegarvey848 He didn't say it wasn't accurate, he complained it was racist against Italians. That is not a very useful criticism of a movie, especially if he doesn't elaborate. Can you show examples of how this movie was racist against Italians, considering it was about Italian-American criminals? And I don't see how this was an "all over the place movie". It concentrated mostly on one character with two sub-plots of Tony's development (that was tied to the main character) and the rise of the black mafia (also tied to the main character.) Not confusing at all, really. You want a movie that is all over the place and overrated, go watch a Christopher Nolan movie.
@@norwegianblue2017 In his words he was saying it was racist to Italian Americans because it portrayed everyone in that life as racists and women beaters. Also a Christopher Nolan movie? So I guess the Prestige, Inception, The Dark Knight Rises and Dunkirk are "all over the place and overrated"?
Your incorrect pronunciation of Italian names is a problem…Imperioli, Genovese, etc.
A big one 😂

My favourite scene was the last one where olivia was trying wake up tony. He eventually got out of bed and walked in the kitchen. Olivia asked, "now that you woke up this morning, what do you plan on doing"? Tony looked right in the camera and said "get myself a gun".
I don’t remember this scene…
ugh. wtf are you talking about, Have you some directors cut we dont know of? Oh wait, you`re just trolling. Now i get it. jerk
yeah Olivia replies with, "you've got a blue moon in your eye"
Such an amazing analyzation of The Many Saints of Newark!
Pretty good video. You were on point with these references.
your pronunciation of the names is brutal!
Michael Imporeli about five times, Vito Giovasi about 4, and if I'm not mistaken he said Junior Soprano Cornado.... 😳 WTactualF.. 😆 🤦🏻♂️
People will say “it’s not a big deal”, and I can slightly side with that opinion.. but it really IS just awful. I just inherently can’t take people seriously who continuously mispronounce things.
We need another movie.
The prequel should have been a mini serie. Would have loved to see the New England Crew arc
After this disappointment, I don't think its going to happen.
I think there’s clearly one in mind as young Tony isn’t even a real wise guy yet in this one
At this rate the next movie will be more about the black gangs entirely and just have tony pop in at the end.
@@Ultrajamz if that's all u got from this movie u got a small mind
Wow, I remember the guy in the series who contracted stomach cancer and even though he played a minor role, I remember him laughing telling the doctor he didn’t believe he was sick then Tony visits him later and he’s studying his cell counts like his life depended on it. Thanks for connecting some of the dots!
One overlooked thing about Jackie Aprile Sr. : he got stomach cancer and his wife Ro was a chronic smoker, something that can cause cancer. Also, after his death her and Ralph broke the unwritten rule of the mob of friends/associates sleeping with each other's wives😳😳😳
Forget which episode but Tony mentions trying to buy an old ice cream truck at auction.
It was the episode where he got buddy-buddy with Dr. Cusamano, until he realized Cooz and his friends were treating him like their pet mobster.
DUDE! DICKIE WASN'T A DRUG ADDICT! We never see him take illegal drugs in the film! He had the pills for Tony's mom in his pocket when he was killed and we heard Tony's mom speading rumors about him with it at his funeral! TONY'S MOM WAS THE WORST!!! How could you miss that?
Dude calm the hell down. Talk about overreacting. He might of missed this in the video, but like literally nobody missed this. Everyone caught it except the people who don’t know Sopranos. True fans know.

@@claird4307 haha! I’m rewatching the series. Livia/Nancy Marchand is iconic “I gave my children my life to my children on a silver platter”

Great work! Loved the video.
There's a scene in the movie where Johnny Soprano drops off a youngTony. Tony ask's his dad if he's coming in and Johnny says "nah, I gotta fly up to the dog track" which is where he was seeing the woman Tony Soprano meets at his fathers grave in the series.
I had to stop this as soon as I heard him say “Uncle Junior Cornado.” Maybe watch The Sopranos before jumping into this voiceover. 🤦🏻♂️
Corrado
Nicely done. Wow, so much to see.
I just noticed, there are hardly any scenes in Sopranos where Chris and Uncle Jun ever interact.
Yep I’ve notice dat too hard to find a scene with them 2 together
It’s because Junior didn’t like him. Most likely because as seen in this movie Junior and dickie didn’t like each other and he eventually gets Dickie killed (Paulie actually kills him, hence why Paulie and Chris have so much animosity towards each other in the show) but yeah Junior wants Tony to have Chris work for him in Szn 1 but Tony knows Junior will just have him killed or treat him awfully, so they were separated very early on in the show
@@justinbrooks6190 where did you hear that Paulie killed dickie? And Chris and Paulie had animosity towards each other for like 2 or 3 episodes lol they never hated each other. Whenever they had a beef going they always eventually made up.
@@mikeydicola Thats not true, they make up because of Tony and to keep the peace within the family. Once Chris decides to go to hollywood and work outside organized crime, and do drugs again all that fake peace is thrown out the window. Paulie never actually liked that Chris became a made man
Uncle Junior did arrange for chris to get a high colonic...that was nice of him
What About Tippy the Dog? LOL jounny Boy took him for a walk when Tony threw the Speakers out the Window.
Wow I totally forgot about tippy...
One of the music records that Dickie gives to his uncle in jail is by Little Joe (a young Joe Pesci)
I saw that too!
What a show!! The details are incredible and it just seems so real. It feels like history. One of the best shows to be ever made.
Thanks for taking the time to making this video man
Great video with lots of insight. Not that he was mentioned in Saints but Vito also had a double roll in the Sopranos going from just a guest shot to a main roll. He was the guy that came into the pastry shop while Christopher was waiting and got passed up. Went from Gino to Vito.
I am glad you said that. I didnt see the guy waddle. I figured it was maybe the actor who played Vito's brother. Makes more sense hearing this.
Moltisanti is also many saints. Jeane cusomano and her twin sister were also played by the same actress.
Cool video!
And I love that if you start up sopranos right after this, one of the first things you hear is hesh say junior is 'driven in toto by his insecurities'
😮
5:56 also the actor that played Vito also played the guy in the bakery when Christopher attacked that guy. The scene that touched me the most was at Hollywood Moltisanti's funeral, we see Giuseppina's face covered and later in the Sopranos, Tony sees a woman dressed almost similarly ..I forget the episode. I'm glad we see how mesmerized Tony was when he first met her which ties to his feelings in the episode Isabella
That was a great movie recap from the series to the movie great job...
You forgot to mention when younger tony was with young Carmela and he beat that guy up in front of Carmela it’s mentioned in the sopranos at the lake episode where Tony and Bobby fight and he brings up that fight up when they were kids to Carmela
But he says it was in the parking lot of “Pizza World” and there was a crowd, which wasn’t the case in the movie.
That was Domenik Todesca, the kid Tony 'took down' at Pizza World. You're right. The kid Tony tussles with in the movie is Jackie Aprile. He mentions him by name when they steal the ice cream truck.
One thing that needs to be addressed: In the series, Christopher was hurt by how Tony Soprano and Tony Blundetto used to pick on him when they were teenagers and he was a younger kid. In the prequel, Tony Soprano is a teenager and Christopher is a newborn, which is inconsistent with the series.
There seemed to be a ton of inconsistencies. Another one was Silvio’s age. We got the impression he was around the same age as tony in the show or if anything maybe a couple years older but in the movie he’s already like a 30+ year old man when tony is still only a teenager
@@jeremyroberts8822 Yeah. That too.
Really good comparison of all the carry-overs between the movie and series and the continuation of the characters’ storylines
So, I have thought on this, and I will have to go back and find which episode it was from but after Dickie is killed and Junior gets the phone call, the cadence in the voice and the delivery is very similar to Paulie. This would also explain a lot of the relationship between Paulie and Christopher. The two were always at odds, but there was also this kind of relationship where Paulie took care of Christopher. Perhaps out of guilt?
Interesting. Didn't notice this.
That does sound like Paulie on the phone when he says ' it's done' he has used that saying on the sopranos a few times after a piece of work was done. I think Paulie was in on the dickie hit.
daaaang, mind blown. it fucking makes total sense. paulie was such a scum bag . funny but scum bag. damn new jersey is grimey AF!
Also, you forgot the very obvious Kevin Finnerty, "selling patio furniture" reference during that arc as well.
ha I caught that
Thank you, good video, really cleared up a lot for me. When I watched the movie, I immediately noticed the Soprano name. But, I didn't realize at the time, it was a "pre" to the TV series, The Sopranos. Thanks again for putting it together for me. One more thing, it is remarkable how much Dickey's girlfriend, looks like the actress Penelope Cruz, I originally thought she could have been Penelope's daughter.
she’s bad and that’s ANOTHER plus in this movie, she’s got a nude scene. so many complainers out there. instead of giving thanks lol the movie was good
amazing breakdown
You forgot " No offense John but i got an I.Q. of 136. Its been tested" with a Johnny Sac conversion on the phone before the feds rained on their parade in the snow and Referenced in the movie 🎬 stated by the high school concealer to his mother that he had that high I.Q.
They also talked about tony having leadership qualities like they did with aj remember
I honestly thought this was a great film. I have no idea why the reviews are so bad. The actors did a good job. It was a very high budget film so the action scenes were very well done. And they didn’t overdue the race thing either. I thought they brought black actors in and incorporated them very well into the story.
I think one of the main reasons people didn’t like it much was just cus it ended up being pretty far from the film everyone thought it would be. The way it was talked about beforehand and even marketed was that it was mainly about dickie mentoring tony but it really didn’t have much to do with that at all. On top of that there are actually quite a few things that just don’t match up at all. One thing I forsure hated was the portrayal of young silvio, it seemed more like the actor was doing a comedy sketch impression of that character rather than actually playing a young version of him and it doesn’t make sense how significantly older he is than tony
Really good one mate!
10:35 Christopher was my favorite character. Such a great actor. His death episode is my favorite,Tony goes to Vegas at the end of the episode and wins a couple hundred thousand playing roulette @ Caesars. He also sleeps with a smokin hot friend of Christopher’s and does hallucinogens.
Same! I’m getting through the last couple of episodes for the first time. But I only hate his death episode because it made me so sad!
Per her interview w/Talking Sopranos Lorraine Bracco did feel the same way as Liotta. That she didn't want to be type cast as a Mafia wife, & that is why she turned down an audition for Carmella (or maybe an outright offer) to be Dr. Melfi. Good video I didn't catch all of that.
Out of all these videos, why has no one pointed out the scene where dickey is beating up overall and he says “who tf you think you are?” To which dickie replies “someone who once took a guys out for talking to him like that” which is clearly a reference to when tony tells Chris how his dad took some guys out so bad he couldn’t even use a glass one. Am I really the only one who caught this?
NOPE LOVE! I got it, and all the other references! I cannot get over all the folks that did not like this movie, and say it sucked! I LOVED IT, and thought it WAS AWESOME & the actors did an awesome job!!! 🥰💜
I caught it on my second watch through
Great point…..
Also, that Tony's first kill was Willie Overall.
@@gigip.2458 what was the plot of the movie then since you thought it was good? I thought it was atrocious, and for my life couldn't tell you what the story was.
I wonder if Tony’s hallucination of the beautiful girl from Italy is anything to do with seeing Giuseppina Moltisanti getting off the boat and the way Dickie loves her from first site, a young Tony almost had that look of infatuation about her to
Absolutely! And remember at a funeral Tony saw a woman's face covered i forget the episode. He probably got flashbacks of Hollywood Dick's funeral seeing Giuseppina dressed in similar fashion
The kid in the car with Tony is actually Artie Bucco as a teenager. Jackie Aprile also appears in the film, but only during the ice cream truck heist, and when Tony calls Dickie asking for Rolling Rock.
Tony was not racist. He was just protecting his family. That's not racism.
It wasn’t Phil’s birthday that Nancy was singing at, it was his “being made boss” party.
@Johnny Utah let me tell you a couple of three things
@Johnny Utah I think it was 10.
And while we are correcting this fella........ thought Chris wanted Tony to kill him.
@Johnny Utah Phil did 20 f years he wanted to shine his shoes but compromised in a tissue
Good job man
"Gee-o-vessy" crime family? Real mafia expert, I see.
Cup full of pencils.
Michael Imperelli? 😂
Tony was knocking on the door of a vending machine warehouse where dickie was unloading trucks. Uncle Jun knocks on that door in season 5 wandering around it is a gospel church and he is thrown out. A good reference to the change of the neighbourhood from italian to African American whick is a big part of the movie
yup that was the ''nobody wants those turkish taffy's'' place
Dickie helps Gia’s with her beauty salon; Christopher gives Adrianna the Crazy Horse.
In MSON, Tony steels a geometry exam; in the series, AJ and his friend steal exams and get expelled
Steal
Great video!!
Paulie saying things like "Dickie I just got this jacket"
The whole movie was a 'hey remember this?'
Loved Many Saints! The complaints were from those expecting a Tony backstory. Instead, David Chase threw them a curveball, with Dickie as the main subject. It works because it shows Dickie was a dirt bag, and not the guy Tony made him out to be, so Tony's mob existence was based on a lie. This might also explain why he's seeing a psychiatrist. Saints is actually the set-up piece to the movie that fans wanted to see, which will only create more buzz...well done Mr. Chase, well done. Btw, although we didn't see drugs, when a guy is drinking from a bottle in the morning, he's an alcoholic.
yea points of views always make a difference. tony saw what he wanted to see in his uncle. idk about your bit on drinking from the bottle early in the morning. i’ve done it but not an alchy. when i graduated from univ and when i got married lmaoo that’s it
I love how much you know about the actors. I'm not the only one!
Yeah the thing about Sicilians possibly having African blood is actually a reference to real life
The Moors invaded Sicily is true
Well done for watching True Romance.
@@kmill2220 the common misconception is that the Moors were basically what we call black people now when Moors weren't sub-saharan Africans, they were Berbers from North Africa, and later had a mix of Arabs. There is a giant desert between North Africa and the rest of it. I'm Sicilian but don't care either way, I just think it's reductive to think of the giant continent of Africa being one kind of ethnic group.
@@Aloysius2113 well said
@@Aloysius2113 so no one ever walked through the desert? Built a canoe and sailed along the water shoreline northward? Interesting.
We also don't know what shade of skin tones anyone had be Europeans diluted the gene pool, surely.
In The Sopranos series they say that Christopher is actual cousin of Tony’s but it is not through Dickie, it’s through his mom Joanne. Adriana actually explains this to one of the FBI agents. This makes Christopher related to both Carmela (through Dickie) and Tony (Joanne).
"Its an Italian thing"
Joanne is a Blundetto. Tony B’s dad was her brother. Tony B’s Mom is Tony S’s Aunt as She is Sister to Tony’s Mom Livia. So Tony and Christopher Share Tony B as a cousin but aren’t related by blood to each other.
And I believe Hollywood Dick was married to Hugh DeAngelis (Carmela’s Dad)’s sister making Dickie and Carmela cousins.
The whole series was very incestuous. Adriana was cousins with Jackie Jr and Vito and I remember scenes where they both made comments about her attractiveness though Vito probably wasn’t serious.
Yep it's mentioned Ep3 of S5, Where's Johnny.
Not just Nancy, but Frank Jr is at the executive card game.
Tony’s dad is walking Tippy outside when Tony throws the speakers out the window.
Impeccably done!
Hm, seeing how Junior killed Dickie for little reason I wonder if that's why he didn't kill Chris years later. It's always assumed he didn't take out Chris in season 1 because he was under Tony's protection (though he strongly considered it and Chris pushed his luck) but if he killed Dickie basically just for laughing at him it's odd he didn't kill Chris who was basically stealing from him. Could it be that Junior gave him some leeway because he felt bad about killing his Dad? Or maybe it was just because he knew Tony wouldn't stand for it.
i think it makes sense
I think it wasnt just because he laughed at jr, it was an ongoing jealousy. Remember tony’s dad berating jr when he got out of prison and was like hey, look at Dickie he handling business…
@@pboissie Saw another reviewer point out that the scene where Junior can't keep it up trying to ride his goomah and gets up and curses Dickie implies that he's so frustrated and emasculated by not being able to please women anymore because of his injury he takes out it out on Dickie, who he was already very jealous of. It also explains why he likes to go down on women when he's older; his back can't handle normal sex.
He wanted to kill chris but knew he couldnt....thats why he killed brandon and gave chris a high colonic
@@pboissie i agree. Junior was the most jealous guy on the planet. killed Dickie, wanted to kill Tony. Junior is like the Fredo of this franchise.
Okay no one seems to talk about this but when Dickie is showing baby Christopher to Tony he cries and the old lady says babies no things from beyond which I think is a reference to Tony killing Christopher in the show
yeah, that was most obvious one for me too
No one seems to mention this? Aside from being extremely on the nose, I see it in LITERALLY every discussion on this movie from Reddit to CZcams.
Good video pointing out the references and Easter eggs by I don’t understand how you can say this explains the ending.
Very cool video
