Sopranos - the duck and chasing scenes from Pilot

[jimisvoodoochild]

i wish i could collect money owed this way.

[thestranger4812]

One of the most unrealistic scenes in the whole series. Too many people saw that for them to get away with that assault like that.

[simsbrigada]

@thestranger4812 and you would press charges on them after this attack? no victim, no crime ;)

[LordVili]

Tonys voice changes a lot in the series as it progresses.

[cheeseymenolikey]

got me hooked from the first minute! I miss this show so much....

[XtrmMcjohnson]

Watching this makes me want to rewatch the whole series. But I just can't, because I know that once I finish it, there will be no more. 

[clintdelicious]

'whgheres my fuckin' money!?

[Wdntkwb1]

Ya Prick!

[j12dat]

Ahh the first season . . . when tony looked his best (not so fat and not so old) . . . What a role model!

[Cinemadman]

When he says 'We had coffee', he sounds like a normal person instead of this gangster guy from Jersey.

[headtrips1]

Daid chase in the DVD commentary states his regret for choosing " I Wonder Why" for this chase scene, it is a little off with the times, but hey, tony is in a sense an "old school' gangster, so this choice suits just fine for me

[fililo]

What's the opera music????

[demarspeed199]

@fililo ..opera music

[Juriskov]

best of the first

[riddick7819]

Even if the guy refuses to press charges they would still get into trouble for nearly hitting people and driving on the park areas off road illegally, the mafia today cannot operate easily because nobody cares about them or who they are with, and there are lots of hidden cameras that would catch them easily and be used in court, heck i can use my cell phone camera and show it to the police and a wiseguy goes to prison for 10 years.

[riddick7819]

Tony and Christopher are such morons here, lots of witnesses present and one person will call the police and report the car and the license plate number to the police too, and they both get charged and arrested, i know lots of guys that have concealed weapons permits and they would just pull their gun out and shoot the guy.

And i know a lot of young guys that are buff that work out in the gym every day and would probably punch Tony or Christopher out easily and not care who they are with lol.

[bankNbakeGuy]

@riddick7819 yea this scene is bullshit. they were trying to hard to depict old school gangsters living amongst modern day white collar america. and this shit was the result. but look up decavalente family, the real soprano family, your friends at the gym would think twice before hitting a real mobster.

[riddick7819]

@bankNbakeGuy the fact of the matter is that the average gym going guys wouldnt know that they were in the mafia at all and even if they claimed to be then they would still beat their asses anyway, just because they wouldnt take them seriously, whatever happens to them afterwards is anyone guess though, but i know a lot of local guys that are hotheads that will just hit you first and bring their friends along for the fun, wiseguy or not they cant beat a bunch of strong young punks and thats it.

[bankNbakeGuy]

@riddick7819 mafioso are very violent people. they are always in their social clubs, bars and restaurants. but when they are on the street they almost always have a shank, if not a gun. i happen to be a gym rat myself, but know from life experience that muscle only has value in the gym and in the ring. i'm from hells kitchen ny, and 'mobsters' don't get involved with civilians. but sometimes it can't be helped, and good people do lose their lives. it's not so bad here anymore tho.

[riddick7819]

@bankNbakeGuy, true, but still how do you tell the difference between the average guy on the street dressed in a suit and tie and a gangster? sometimes they look the same, also from i have heard the mafia is dying fast, they are almost dead ever since John Gotti went to prison, and the age of security cameras and the internet has made things so it is harder for them to operate at all anymore, people with cell phone cameras can record this stuff and tell the police and nobody would ever find out.

[bankNbakeGuy]

@riddick7819 It is a dying business. They can't control unions like they used to, maybe hassle a union official for a few books and shake down minorities but that's it. And the rise of internet gambling is also terrible for them. They've been forced to traffic heroin from Sicily which is big money, but the penalty is 25 years. So yea, they're weak compared to what they used to be. There's no point in trying to identify these guys in the street there's so few of them.

[patrikgeorg7]

I love how Tony enjoys chasing down this guy, hilarious!

[johnleguizamo]

Lol. I wonder if things are still like this for italian mob when they gotta collect money lol

[franchise325]

Doesn't this scene remind anyone of when Stewie Griffin beat up Brian over not giving him his money.

[fatto77]

re-phrased. doesn't the scene were stewie beats up brian remind you of this scene!

[TheShatsBassoon]

Best video ever and best song I wonder why Dion and the bellmonts

[alban747]

What's the opera music (this beautiful female voice) when Tony has his first panic attack as the bird fly away? It's definitely not "I wonder why" as mentionned below. I can't find it....

[brwhizz]

David Chase said he regretted the 50's music choice for the chase scene. The whole scene is too much of a mafia stereotype.

[dukee155]

i wish that they had more scenes like that in the sopranos none of this emotional bullshit

[uaexhybird]

lmfao tony comes out the car how's your leg the guy is like my fucking leg is broken the bone is comeing out tony is like yeah yeah? b00m punch to the leg wheres my fucking money and crissy is cheacking up his car and tony is like what are you doing! to crissy and crissy is like that's a 3,000 dollars repair 3,000

[CaseRed0605]

I know. I and everyone else here just watched the fucking video. You don't need to give a play by play there my man.

[armbartilt]

are you alright? my leg is broken! let me see let me see,Punch! wheres my fuckin money. haha!

[joepescifromcasino]

lol looked like Silvio was spraying tony there

[samtrap99]

hey does anyone know where this scene was filmed? I run a little project and we're trying to figure out every location where the sopranos was filmed. we think this was filmed in Fairfield, NJ on Route 46 at a location that is just West of the Willowbrook Mall, but we're not sure.

[mizkex]

try going to the pilot's page on IMDB they might have the locations up there!

[LTmms001]

Nothing... We had coffee...... xD

[mrkingofkings]

"WHERE'S MY FUCKIN' MONEY YOU PRICK! WHERE'S MY FUCKIN' MONEY" XD, too funny, I'm definatelly buying the complete series (seasons 1-6) I love this show.

[FerdieMerdie]

whats the name of the song?

Remember i listen to it when i was younger!

[xxxMETALPUNXxxx]

I Wonder Why - Dion and The Belmonts

[graemeoliver84]

What self-respecting mobster would drive a Japanese car? I thought they preferred Cadillacs and Lincolns!

[orduni90]

not all of them do. the younger ones like chrissy would drive pretty much anything, but maybe the older made guys only drive clean cadillacs and shit. John Gotti used to drive a lincoln, but when he was made boss, he was driven around in a $70000 mercedes!

[graemeoliver84]

Interestingly a lot of the gangsters on the Sopranos drove Cadillacs, like Paulie, Silvio, Big Pussy, Furio, Vito, Richie, Patsy, Tony Blundetto and of course Tony with his Escalade (not a traditional Cadillac though). Junior had a Lincoln Town Car and a lot of the New York gangsters had Lincolns. Johnny Sack (who some believe was based on Gotti) drove a Mercedes S-Class until he bought his Maserati.

[patrikgeorg7]

Chrissy first drives a Lexus, then later on a Range Rover and in the end another Range Rover, a newer.

[samtrap99]

Frank Caruso drove a Jeep Grand Cherokee

[TheSpriteMonster]

hahahaha I love it when Chrissy gets kicked in the balls XD

[creativekiddo]

That was Chrissy?~!!

[cadge31]

If you watch the pilot compared to other episodes of "The Sopranos", it seems like they hadn't pinned down the true characteristics of Tony Soprano. He acts a little different in the pilot. He's almost more of a stereotypical gangster . . . a little on the robotic side. You'll notice it if you watch the pilot back to back with any other episode.

[hmvx3]

I hate watching a show and then looking back at the first episodes, because you can see the difference in the characters- the actor develops the character more as they go. I read that the sopranos pilot was filmed almost a year before the series began - that could have alot to do with it as well.

[LittleVicks]

Thats exactly what bosses do too.. Guy is gonna buy a new suit and get it dirty.. NO ! "Hey Chris Ge'dda Fuck ova' eah !"

[TK572]

i loved the music in this episode. Love the scene where Tony jumps into the drivers seat and runs the guy down. Classic

[JAYDEEKK47]

aha i finally found it !!! jus the right scene i was looking for , thank u soooo much for posting it !!! :)

[IgiveyouPain]

Your covered you prick!

[TheMafiosoEmre]

dion and the belmonts - i wonder why

[newton2105]

Get a life, you fuckhead. That's what mob enforcers do. They strong arm people who owe them money. That's what organized crime does: extortion and protection or numbers rackets. What did you think? They just ask nicely for thousands in outstanding loans?

[420check420]

its a racket you dickhead.. the fuck are they supposed to say? ehh its 250k, fuck it, we aint worried about it

[nephew455]

Lmao did you hear uncle junior? MARONE!!!

[whatajoy]

I miss those ducks and were hoping they'd come back in the finale. He was so cute with those ducks!

[B2B76]

the 1st season was the best in my opinion, the story took off after the pilot and the drama built right through the last episode of that season, great!

[markmallia]

true. i've noticed how the first few episodes of a new show tend to do that - conform to cliches and the general publics expectations in order to initially get a audience following....notice the old style 50s italian style music too....
