The Sopranos | Ranking the Kills of Tony Soprano
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 мар 2023
- In The Sopranos we follow New Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano, a complex and compelling character who is also, by the end of the show, unashamedly evil. As boss, Tony orders the death of many individuals and its likely there’s many more deaths that have occurred off screen as a result of Tony, but in terms of how many people the man himself has personally killed, there are 8 instances in the show, and today I wanted to rank them.
Tony Sopranos whacks 8 people in the show - Chucky Signore, Willie Overall, Matthew Bevilacqua, Febby Petruolo, Tony Blundetto, Salvatore Bonpensiero, Ralph Cifaretto and Christopher Moltinsanti.
How many people did Tony Soprano kill? How many people did Tony whack? Tony's murders ranked.

Chris murdered the one person who cared about his sobriety and well being. At that point, I knew he was on his way out. Good list.
See I thought the opposite bc his loyalty was never to Ade's love no matter how devoted she was to Chrissy. So I figured that Christopher would forever have it made in the shade & oh sh*t no pun intended 🙃
Chris's inability to kill Adrianna when she told him she was working with the Feds combined with his inability to stay off the dope made him weak in Tony's eyes and objectively a liability who could have brought the whole thing down. He had to go, and Tony probably viewed it as a mercy that he did it himself, much like Tony B.
Little Cosette
He thought she loved him... she was a snitch
The toughest kill for me to swallow was the pasta. The way he would just keep stabbing over and over...
Tony soprano definitely had the makings of a variety serial killer lol.
Varsity
@@starwarsroo2448 variety too
@@ightholmes no just varsity stupid
Lol ducking goofballs
...garden variety...
But let's be honest, Tony pulling the gun out of the fish's mouth was funny as hell 😅...
True
Ralph definitely deserves its spot, it forces the viewer to face the shows morality
The fish kill was the funniest one in the whole show, idk how you can rank it last
That scene is in the Top 10 for arguments that The Sopranos was a comedy.
It's funny but a mob Underboss shooting someone in broad daylight is not realistic
At first, Tony's character was evil but sympathetic. In the end. He looked like Michael Myers killing Christopher. No emtion. Just a blank stare. And he even did the famous MM head tilt when a car passed by during the act. He literally turned into a mindless killer with no emotions. (Aside from self preservation. Watching Chris die and glancing up to make sure he was alone).
I like the fact that Tony was standing up for the horse 🐎 and I also loved the look on Tony’s face when he was killing Chris so cold, so scary, yet so badass
Good point about Big Puss with Matt Bevilaqua. I've never really noticed it but Tony gives him a look as if to say, "well what are you waiting for?"
Oh I instantly questioned his pause... The way he pulled out the gun showed that he knew what was expected of him. But looked like he wanted to back out... I'm surprised Tony didn't question it.
The first time I saw Christopher's death, I was shocked! As the guy put it in the video, it definitely crossed my mind that Christopher could die. When Chris got shot at by Matt and Sean, I saw that moment as a reckless one done by the perpetrators. When Tony squeezed Chris's nose, that was not business as usual, it was personal.
With the Tony B murder, I feel like I can see James Gandolfini managed to put some regret and sorrow in his eyes and facial expressions behind the overlying coldness, it's very subtle but I think it's there. Only a master actor like Jimmy G would be able to pull this off.
Tony certainly felt more sadness over killing Tony B than he did over Christopher, that's for sure.
"What If Ralph won the fight?" Could be a great video discussion
Damn 😶 idk why I never even considered it before 😅
He almost did, he just needed more Raid 🙂
@Peter T how would Ralph explain the beating he took? The marks would be visible for a while. If he just lays low that would also raise suspicion. How would the rest of the family react? Would they try to find the killer? Would they sell vengeance? How would NY react. There's so much more to a scenario like this. It would make a great topic
@@petert2481 Sil likely would've either been taken out or would've stepped back down to consigliere pretty quick if he became boss. He literally had a heart attack when he was the boss while Tony was in a coma. With Sil either dead or demoted it'd be between Vito and Ralphie as they were both by far the best earners in the family and would have the most support. Chrissy is too young and inexperienced so he wouldn't get much support and Paulie is mostly viewed as a bit of an idiot by most of the family so he probably wouldn't get much backing either. If Ralphie got it (assuming he's never found out as the guy who killed Tony) I think he'd do a pretty good job. The whole incident with his son seemed to mellow him out quite a lot so I could see him becoming a decent and less evil (by mob standards) boss and would probably be more efficient than Tony was as he isn't nearly as insecure or emotional as Tony is. If Vito got it he'd do decent until he gets exposed for being gay. There's no way anyone in the family will want to have any association with him so he'd get deposed immediately and would likely suffer the same fate he does normally by Phil's hand. Ralphie would then take over. Tony B probably would've been whacked after the Joey Peeps hit as neither Vito or Ralphie would be willing to defend him to the length that Tony did. Christopher would've survived and likely wouldn't have relapsed (or it would have taken longer) as he doesn't have Tony B (well he would but without Tony S Tony B wouldn't have made fun of him for being sober) or Tony S to bully him back into drinking.
Killing off the most interesting character not even halfway through the show is a surefire way to make the rest of your story noticeably boring. It's called Boardwalk Empire Syndrome.
How much funnier would have been if Tony used the fish as a makeshift suppressor?
The worst thing about pretty much all hits is that none of Tony's crew members do much to cover up things like finger prints or DNA. When killing Fabian Petrulio Tony would have left both sweat, blood and perhaps finger prints and another example - When Paulie and that other guy takes out the colombians in season 6; they left finger prints all over the murder scene and both of them where known criminals. In that regard most hits are the worst.
Yeah but this was 20+ years ago and they were already in their 40s aka set in their ways. With dna being as new as it was back then I can see them not giving a fuck but you can’t do that kinda shit now a days. Technology has us way to connected.
It's a show. Obviously your right but just enjoy it its and epic series its not real
I always wondered why they always leave their guns at the scene
@@homelander39 they leave their guns at the scene so make the cops close the case sooner. They can figure out what kind of gun it was and look for stolen guns of that variety for example, but if the gun is at the scene and it's clean and registered to someone who reported it stolen 3 years prior then there's nothing to look at
@@homelander39 i think so at least. I don't get it entirely either.
"The Sha of Iran's secret police" 😂😂
It's name was SAVAK
Notable that season 3 is the only season where Tony does not commit a pivotal murder. Febby, Puss, Ralph, Tony B, Christopher. But nothing in season 3
He doesn’t do it but he orders the hit on Jackie Jr
@@klompsauce great point
Seeing the baby chair in the back of Christopher's SUV was probably the last straw for Tony. Chrissy almost killed Tony with his reckless drug use. You can almost understand his decision to end Chrissy's life there and then.
Until Chris's autopsy came back positive for coke, literally nothing Tony hasn't done in the past and also wrecked a car with Chrissy's girl on the way to go get more of. Everything else is an excuse to score all of Tony's decisions in the black.
Tony was just disgusted by him. He didn't really care about the kids seat just an excuse to make himself feel better.

Why Slim Charles Was The Bishop on The Chessboard
His sideways walk?
Killing Pussy ranks high for me because it's in my favorite episode of the series, but Bevilaqua was my favorite hit Ton was involved in. Telling him the sugarless MFer was the last drink he'd ever have-man, that's just some cold-blooded shit to tell someone before killing him.
The 1st kill isn’t Chuckie Signore sp? It’s Fred Peters in College.
Don't think he's going in chronological order
@@nathanrendell8014 I thought cineranter was talking about show chronology.
@@shtarker5493 cineranter said he wasnt going in chronological order, this is true. however, he did say the chuckie signore hit was the first time we see tony kill in season 1, which is incorrect. when he got to the hit in college, he put emphasis on how this is the first time the audience sees tony, the protagonist, kill someone on screen. perhaps cineranter misspoke when discussing the chuckie hit
You’re right. It’s not in order but he did say this was Tony’s first kill which is incorrect.
When he kills Chucky Signore.... That has to be one of the coolest kills but killing a guy like that in broad daylight next to crowded bride is just ridiculous lol. Also that recoil was super exagerated, I've shot alot of guns, especially handguns and the only guns that would have recoil like that are large size magnum revolvers lol.
Both of those bridges were so far away if you were in a car on either of them and even looking that direction it is highly doubtful you could say you witnessed a murder.
"making the heavy decisions to go along with his heavy breathing"
Always a treat to get a notification of a new video! Great work as ever.
Nothing beats the fish gun
Looks like he had the makings of a varsity serial killer instead!
Thanks for the video it was a great one more sopranos please 🙏
Great video, love your work!
He knows he needs to step up and make the heavy decisions to go along with his heavy breathing LOL
1:01 isn’t the first time we see tony whack someone in the episode collage, 6:50 Chris knew
Excellent list, but none of them come close to a scene where Tony ALMOST kills some one. Him nearly choking Gloria Trillo to death was one of the toughest scenes to watch in the entire show.
Oh yea, the way he flipped her on to her back is hard to watch
Though Gloria greatly enjoyed it.
Or the curb stomp of Coco Cogliano in the restaurant
I totally disagree....she was so unlikable and crazy I was waiting for her to get killed off.
Or the scene where he pistol whips Coco Cogliano and knocks his teeth out on the step. A decent stomp or two on his head at the end woulda killed him.
@@davefloyd9443I always thought he did kill him in that scene 🤔. Especially since Butchie just said "get a mop" afterwards.
Did he forget that Tony killed Chunky by taking a gun out of a fish?
Yes I’ve been waiting for this
One small error - the first time we see Tony commit murder isn’t during his beef with Junior in season 1, it’s during the episode “College” when he kills Febby for being a rat.
That aside - I agree with the commentary of the Chuckie Signore hit. I always wondered how so many murders and beatings were committed sloppily and in broad daylight, yet nobody even gets so much as a casual visit from the cops asking about them. Matt Bevilaqua’s murder is the only exception.
i was just about to say the same thing 😂
And in episode 1 when they chase dude and beat him and break his leg in the park
@@milesbrown7345 but that wasn’t murder. The guy showed up later with Hesh and Big Puss on the bridge discussing the insurance scam.
tony shooting matthew with the same exaggerated recoil arm movements
Good as always my friend. God bless.
I've found myself handling salmon in suspicious circumstances many times, mate
Agree 100% on the 1st one...a silencer definitely woulda been a nice touch for that scene.
The Chucky hit… 🎵It’s bad ya know🎵
Nice break down I don't recall the bookie kill Tony first hit
I was so bummed for Tony B's death. I really liked that character and was hoping there was a way out but no.
I thought his first kill was strangling. I'm pretty sure it was him. Honorary mention to Tony trying to kill Olivia, worst kill was Adriana (ordered the hit) he wipped out most of his own crew Jimmy The Gent style.
On Tony killing the booky, they say your first is your worst.
Killing Christopher is the single most evil thing Tony does not because Chrissy was some innocent victim of Tony but because they were so close for so long and he could just impulsively kill him on a whim after everything.
Another good video. I like your topics...
speaking of murder, in "1," while meeting in Bruno's nightclub, what do you think Luca did specifically to make Solozzo decide to kill him instead of working with him?
Probably refusing to shake his hand in agreement. But I really think Sollozzo knew it was a ploy all along and Barzini always wished to eliminate the Corleone family.
@@anthonyc1629 Agree! Everyone knew that Lucca was the most faithful soldier to the Don.
I always wondered why Vito would send him and not someone else? Maybe, because he trusted Lucca not to jump ship?
@@lanicoya415 I know Luca was an absolute monster in the book and maybe Vito thought Luca was one mistake away from hurting the family. Vito had information either way: either Luca survives and reports back or he's killed and that confirms Vito's suspicions that Sollozzo can't be trusted.
@@anthonyc1629 I never thought of it that way. That definitely makes sense!
@@lanicoya415 I think this is genuinely supposed to be a mistake on Vito's part, because he thinks that Sollozzo is only in bed with the Tattaglia family and doesn't know about Barzini's involvement yet, at least not for sure. Barzini was shrewd enough to know that Vito would send someone to infiltrate, and Vito sent the one guy he knew wouldn't actually flip.
Completely off topic, but have you seen the show Snowfall? It seems like something right up your alley😀 Anyway love your videos🙂
fish scene is good. represents a different time where tony could do shit like that
Ralph Cifaretto
Vis-KE-ral? Geez. I immediately tuned out after hearing that.
Dysentery in the ranks????🤣🤣🤣
That animal blundetto
Dysentery in the ranks!? 😂
I highly appreciate how you always quoting while dropping gems 🔥💯💪🏿💪🏿
I think he was going to clip Carmella over that stupid spec house and the missing money from the bird feeder.
Could you do something like this for other sopranos characters and breaking bad characters particularly Walter white
Im glad you had chucky as worst because i always thought they made it blasè and it looked careless rather than professional snd cautious.
Classic fish gun
Let’s go, Cine. Let’s go!!!!
I was counting his kills
Tony was unashamedly evil since the pilot….
The fact that I did not watch this video for 30 mins as I took the time to guess all 8 the hardest being the bookie, but the joy I had of not only getting them all right but also almost in the exact order listed. Lol it’s ridiculous how hype I was 😅
I think one of his biggest hits was that of the Elocution of the English language
I wanna see videos like this of paulie and christopher. If valery isn't the top of both i will be disappointed.
Overall Tony as a boss kills way too many people personally when he should never be anywhere near a crime scene, I know he is the main character and people want to see him be a BADASS! I guess when he kills Ralphie and Christophuh it makes sense because they're crimes of passion.
Pretty much every person he personally kills makes sense except maybe Chucky Signore. That was kind of weird. Also I wouldn’t really say Christopher’s murder was a crime of passion, Tony was cold, cunning, and calculated in that scene.
@@hexagonproductions2019in real life a “boss” would never kill Matthew Bevalaqua. He would get one of the soldiers / associates to do it. Bosses never get their hands dirty in pre planned hits.
@@dd212NYC yeah I could see it both ways. On the one hand, even Puss was like “Are you sure you want to do this”, it was clear that Tony participating was not exactly mob industry standard, that shit was personal for Tone. Plus killing Matt himself also adds a bit to his respect as a boss, basically sending the message that if you fuck with the Sopranos, Tony Soprano himself will kill you. But yes, this short sightedness on Tony’s part nearly got him a life sentence.
@@dd212NYC I’m not sure what you’re even basing this on but okay. I guarantee some crime bosses are willing to get their hands dirty from time to time. I’m bored of this back and forth.
Ralph probably had the most violent death on the series. I cant think of anyone else whose death is close to his in terms of that.
About as violent as Tracee’s, even down to the head bashing. Pretty fitting and certainly what Ralphie deserved
@@nepesilva2284 Tracee deserves to be mentioned if you're just talking about the most shocking deaths on the series. However murders just committed by Tony, Ralph's was the most violent of the ones of the audience saw from Tony.
Dissension perhaps? 🤔
Chrissy went out like a straight pucchiac…
8:00 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don’t recall the story arc about there being dysentery in the ranks…
Maybe they were eating too much Taco Bell.
You know who alsobhad a arc Noah
The death of chris was for the best drugs are bad for business
Willy Overalls represents the Italians dominating control of the black owned “numbers” rackets.
Tony B was just the button. The Mayor of Munchkin Land, who let himself get hit, was the bad guy in NY
🔥🔥💯
Shoulda spent at least 20 yrs in the cab
Tony pinching that humungous nose... FINALLY !
..
In the end it was chrissys shnoz that killed him
I was so happy when Ralph died...
No Coco?
Didn't he almost drown someone in 3 inches of water
Only thing I disagree with is crissy got killed cause of the baby seat in the car if his kid was there he would have died and Tony couldn’t abide by that
That was one of the reasons why he did that
When tony kills Chris was anyone else like me and finally wanted tony soprano to die and completely hated the character after this kill? I did!!!
How often would the boss of a family personally kill someone? On their way up sure but when boss they’d get someone else to do it to insulate themselves from prosecution.
I guess it’s different if it’s not a real family just a glorified crew.
Its not like he was the boss when several of them were killed.
As for some of the others... Tony was ALONE when he did the deed.
He was alone when he personally took down his cousin Tony B AND Chris was more of an "opportunity kill" than anything.
Chris had relapsed again with drugs (note the dialogue before the crash)... and Tony saw a chance.
He didn't go tell the crew he did it... but that Chris died from the accident.
Also, with Ralph... ONLY Chris knew of that... Tony didn't go there to kill Ralph.. it escalated to that point.
Also with the Rat.... so four kills ... Tony B, Ralph, Chris, and the Rat were done while Tony was boss...
But he didn't plan any of those at all ahead of time whereas he'd be in the situation where he would send someone to do it.
Not even the Tony B situation which he felt was his own responsibility to take care of.
In fact, he had his own crew convinced.... it was "New York" that did Tony B.
As for some of the others.... I think 3 of those happened before he was technically the boss.
Pussy's death was different BUT... it had the other captains there and was a "together" we gotta do this thing type situation.
@@d0nKsTaHgreat explanation
The decision to kill Christopher was absolutely right, but the way Tony took it was absolutely horrible.
I think Tony killed a guy near the end of series, when dude insulted his daughter
He didn’t kill coco, he kicked the shit out of him
When Tony S killed Tony B, the show's producers or someone made Tony B's body fly backwards very hard. This violates Isaac Newton's 3rd law. For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Of course a kick from a shotgun doesn't send the shooter flying through the air, so the person being shot won't fly like that either. Tony S is more massive than Tony B, so Tony S wouldn't be sent in motion as fast as Tony B, but there's no noticable effect on Tony S's velocity, and a huge effect on Tony B's velocity.
Its funny because did u notice that the host said something about Tony's season1 over the top handgun motions killing chucky
Copy of a mafiosi killing of a mother not wanting her son recruited by them so dude literally blows her away with a shotgun......a young man, Vito Carleone (De Niro) goes back to Italy and kills him in return.
Christopher probably wouldn't have survived anyways (or, if so, would've been handicapped for life). He could've killed Tony in that car wreck, too. Reckless disregard and compromised by drugs. He had to go.
The fish is definitely the best one, you’re wrong. I don’t like the murder of tony uncle al, j because I really liked that character.
I'd swap Puss and Chris but besides that same 🤌
Killing of Tony Egg was too far 8:00
You keep saying dysentery when i think you mean decent js.
I always thought that Christopher was going to die from that accident, even if Tony called 911. The way he was breathing and how serious his injuries appear to be, I don't think they would have been able to save him.
In the same episode the doctors said he could’ve made it, but he didn’t
@@csc4781could’ve isn’t a guarantee, it would’ve depended on how long it took help to arrive
@@jakealter5504 true but I like to think that he could’ve if Tony didn’t kill him
@@csc4781 I’m not disagreeing, just pointing out that it would’ve depended on how long it took to get Chris to the hospital (plus possible complications from the drug’s)
@@jakealter5504 i get what you’re saying tho
FYI - “visceral” is pronounced viss-er-ull
It's an understandable mistake. There was dysentery in the ranks after all.
8:30 Again, would it really cause dysentery in the ranks? How would Tony failing to take care of Blundetto cause diarrhea in the ranks, exactly? Do you mean dissent? Dissention? Are you channeling little Carmine?
I think Chrissy should have been sent to the worm farm seasons earlier. Ralph Cifaretto I would have liked to see continue all the way through. Joe Pantoliano is amazing.
😅yeah, I caught that too.
Chris was by far the most satisfying. He had been such a negative presence on the show - selfish, self-pitying, indulgent, entitled - for so long it was long past due.
Cool thumbnail, but it’s a bit spoilerey no? Kinda ruins a few main deaths, say someone has not finished the show
Like how he spoiled the end if "The Wizard of Oz." No respect for his viewers!
The shows been out for years and years
My kid brother hasn’t finished the show yet.
@@george1981e is your kid brother only 45?
As someone who knew real wise guys I'll tell you this much Tony would have ended up in a shallow grave or found in a car trunk as soon as his people found out he was going to a shrink. The doctor would also disappear in case Tony said anything to her.
My dad worked for wiseguys and had long-term servers mental illnesses that resulted in extended stays in the mental hospitals. Never was an issue for his employers that I heard about.
It's pronounced "Visserall". 👍
I love this channel but pronouncing visceral as “VISS-KAREL?” Really?
Just a note. It's dissension in the ranks, not dysentery, which is a disease of the bowels. Love your videos, man.
Tony didn't need to fear Ralph being a threat because Ralph was like Richie. Just like Junior said he couldn't sell it because he's not respected. Who's going to follow Ralph, if Ralph was in charge he'd be Nicky Scarffo 2.0 how'd the original work out. Money would be good but the bodies would add up because the boss is a psycho.
8:30 - “dissent” in the ranks, not “dysentery” in the ranks.
Its the British version
It's a reference to the show, professor dumdum
