Sopranos Unauthorized: Shooting Sites Uncovered (2002)
A Must-See Documentary for the Sopranos Fan!
The previous reviewer just doesn't get it! This program is expertly hosted by JOHN FIORE (Who played Gigi for 2 seasons on the Sopranos) and his hot Italian Girlfriend, MARIE RUFFOLO, who is ACTING as his bimbo sidekick...Together they tour many actual New Jersey locations used in the Sopranos series. They do a great job and are hilarious in the show! I really enjoyed this tongue-in-cheek documentary...It was mesmerizing seeing Vincent Pastore talk about his death on the show...David Proval talking about the real Soprano House used during filming...The Home Movies with James Gandolfini trying to persuade the ducks into the swimming pool were priceless!...We are also treated to other really cool scenes shot during the filming of the Pilot...and Bloopers !!! Nothing like this is on ANY of the HBO DVDS! Among other things, a real standout is a trip to the Actual BADA BING (A.K.A. Satin Dolls) used in the show with the REAL girls that appear in the series. This show is really for the true SOPRANOS fan and they will appreciate all the effort and details that went into it...The footage assembled that was shot by some of the fans at the actual shooting locations is amazing. For some reason David Chase and HBO don't shoot ANY Behind-the-Scenes stuff at all, but you will find plenty of it here shot by third party bystanders! Positively Recommended!
