Web of Death - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: The first time we see Ferro's hot wife is through the photos he keeps in his locker at the station. In the scene in front of the locker, you can see his wristwatch. It's about 5 past 10. Later, we learn that the murder happened at half past 10. The locker scene is supposed to happen well after Ferro committed the murder. (00:09:15)

Siege of Terror - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: When Kojak drives to the store where the hostage situation takes place, the side mirror of the interior view does not match the car he arrives in. The footage is also noticeably sped up at the last turn, when he passes by a Delicatessen window and a Rent-a-car sign. (00:09:30)

Siege of Terror - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: A citizen just reported the armed robbery. In an interior shot of the patrol car, supposedly fast driving down the streets of Manhattan, the pedals of the car are visible in the left part of The Frame; there's no foot on the accelerator. They filmed a close-up of the radio inside a still car. (00:02:35)

Siege of Terror - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: During the credits at the beginning of the episode, watch the camera car view of the street where the armoured van is parked ("Created by Abby Mann"). It's dawn and the van casts a very distinct shadow on the asphalt. Mere seconds later, the getaway car of the robbers gets in the intersection, and the lighting of the scene is flat, shot during a different part of the day. (00:01:35)

Kojak: You can't corrupt it. And you know why? Because to corrupt it, you've got to show how corrupt you really are.
