Best Murders in The Sopranos
Brendan Filone has an amazing death scene reminiscent of the Godfather Baptism sequence, specifically as brilliantly filmed as the Moe Greene special. What an amazing piece of film, and the track matched perfectly with the culmination and climax of the shot. Brendan Filone quickly became my favorite due to the excellent death scene.
Brendan Filone is shot clean through the eye, "Moe Greene Special", and it's the most powerfully climactic scene, coupled with the "All Through The Night" montage. Best death scene and he was my favorite character in the series run.
Sean surprises Christopher, saying What's up! Bang! Get that moron! Seatbelt! The seatbelt was stuck, and Chris retaliated. Sean was dead with a bullet to his head and a smoking Glock in his hand as the car slid and crashed with Matt fleeing the scene and bullets riddled on the pavement. Amazing scene.
The first hit I saw as a couple of buddies were watching the DVD. I went out and bought the season that evening.
Killed by Tony Soprano. Maybe the most unexpected death on the show. Ralph was probably the one we all knew would get killed, mainly for being disrespectful and irreverent, but in this episode we saw more than that. We felt sympathy for him, and then we saw him being beaten, choked, and decapitated. And we found out he was bald.
Killed by Janice Soprano. Janice proves she can be as mean as her brother, and when Tony sees Richie's body, it's such a great scene. He actually feels glad.
Rat stuffed in his mouth after he got whacked.
Gunned down in the woods by Chris and Paulie.
Killed on Tony Soprano's orders. Just after saying goodbye to his grandsons, Leotardo finally got what he deserved in a ridiculously violent way, getting his skull crushed. Closed casket.
The Newcomers
Killed by Silvio Dante. In one of the best scenes of the series, we see Adriana and Silvio going to "meet Chris". We feel nervous because Ade doesn't know what is going to happen. Finally, we realize that Chris chose Tony over her, and she died in the woods, crawling and crying, shot by Sil.
Best and worst. The acting was superb, but I felt so bad when she died.
It's like the calm mouse with the hawk above before.
Stabbed, butchered, and beheaded after making jokes about Vito's death.
Stabbed, butchered, and beheaded by Carlo Gervasi and Silvio Dante after making jokes about Vito's death.
Most unexpected, especially since it was Tony who did it.
Most surprising death of the series by far!
Killed by Tony Soprano. No one saw that coming. Tony murdered his protégé after understanding Chris would never be more than a crackhead.
Anthony John Soprano is a fictional character and the protagonist in the HBO television drama series The Sopranos, portrayed by James Gandolfini. He's not dead. It's been confirmed.
Too sad. Too nice and innocent, as innocent as one can be in that line of work, to go out like that.
Killed on Phil Leotardo's orders. Very surprising, dramatic, and sad, being Bacala so nice and big-hearted.
Gunned down at a restaurant, slow-motion blood splatter effect and all.
Come on, let's face it, this is the best murder in the whole show. It was teamwork, it was expected, planned smoothly. They were looking for the rat for years until they finally found it... Big Pussy, probably the most difficult kill for T as they were really close. The look on Pussy's face before jumping on the boat, looking over his shoulder... He knew that was it, that there was no coming back.
Killed by Tony Soprano, Paulie Gualtieri, and Silvio Dante. The three men murder their best friend after realizing they were betrayed. He went for a ride in Tony's boat, and after some minutes, he slept with the fishes.
Killed by Tony Soprano. He is getting home and all of a sudden, Tony murders him. His own cousin, out of mercy.
Killed by Christopher Moltisanti. This is the first death on the show and really shows its style.
