Web of Death - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Ferro tosses the incriminating piece of jewelry to his wife, her hands change position in her lap depending on the shot, and her hair is also parted over her shoulders in a radically different way. (00:25:30)

Web of Death - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Kojak takes the hint that Joanna Ferro is a little on the sad drunk side and says, "I guess I'd better split. I got a big day tomorrow." Hector Elizondo puts his glass down twice in two separate shots. (00:24:50)

Audio problem: Joanna has been drinking on her own in front of the TV. The actress looks towards the door a second before the sound effect of the lock being tried is added. (00:23:00)

Web of Death - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Kojak is speaking with Ferro after putting his partner in doctor's care. He sits down and pulls out his notepad. In the next shot, he whips it out of his pocket again. (00:19:20)

Web of Death - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Inside Pinky's dump, Ferro lights him a cigarette. Pinky then takes the cigarette with his right mouth, the left in the reverse shot. (00:12:00)

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)

Continuity mistake: If you look at the victim lying on the floor when Ferro just killed him, you can spot a rather noticeable hem of his nightrobe sticking out from under his leg. When later, Kojak gets on the crime scene, nobody has touched the corpse yet but the clothing has been tucked in. (00:06:10 - 00:13:40)
6th Oct 2023
Continuity mistake: During the fake drug bust at the beginning of the episode, when Pinky is sobbing during the arrest, a man in a plaid ovdercoat makes his appearance at least thrice, once in the background of the close-up of each junkie, and then when in the wider shot, seconds apart. (00:02:20)

Web of Death - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Ferro is arresting the two junkies. Strats searching the first one, and a man in a yellow-ish coat and a fedora walks behind them in the background. In close-up once Ferro asks "You call that dealing?" the same man walks the same path again. He will reappear again doing the same walk when Pinky says he swallowed the drugs at the end of the scene. (00:02:10)
6th Oct 2023
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, the elderly hostage leans on Kojak's car window to thank him. His right hand is in a noticeably different spot depending on the camera angle. (00:48:40)
6th Oct 2023
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Kojak looks at Talaba and Murzie against the police car, then turns around. In the next shot, he walks away, but the people around him changed position. For instance, George Savalas moved around to give Telly his hat. (00:47:30)
6th Oct 2023
Audio problem: During the dramatic resolution of the conflict, Murzie follows Kojak, telling him, "I'm gonna blow you away," but his lips aren't moving. (00:46:40)
6th Oct 2023
Continuity mistake: When the dying policeman delivers the line "We're the only line between the people and them," the old man comforting him has his right hand On the Edge of the stretcher, but in the next shot, it's on his neck. (00:39:40)
6th Oct 2023
Audio problem: When the cops are grilling the owner of the parking lot, Crocker shouts, "Come on, George, start making sense!" and the guy interjects, "No, honest, I..." His lips are not moving, and he can't be articulating those words. (00:27:50)
6th Oct 2023
Continuity mistake: When Jerry Talaba watches Kojak walk forward for the first time and open his jacket, the gun is pointed at him, then pointed up in the close-up reverse shot. (00:13:05)
6th Oct 2023
Continuity mistake: Having just seized control of the store, Jerry Talaba asks the owner about other exits or access to the roof. He then asks, "What's that?" He and his accomplice move towards the position of two hostages (most notably the girl's). The man holding the assault rifle has his left hand on/off it at the cut. (00:11:20)
4th Oct 2023
Stupidity: During the final phases of the Turnabout Sisters case, trying to press Redd about him not being solely guilty of wiretapping will cause Edgeworth to state that "unidentified fingerprints several days old were found in the Fey and Co. Law Offices" and they'd "obviously" belong to Redd. That's an unnecessarily ridiculous non sequitur; being an office with several clients, it'd be astonishing if there were no "unidentified prints" at all.

Factual error: In the second case, Phoenix arrives on the scene of the crime just 11 minutes after the murder occurred, but examining the body, he finds the murder weapon "encrusted with dried blood." In that short of a timespan, the blood would be anything but crusty - especially considering that the smell of blood is so strong that Phoenix can feel it from the corridor.
4th Oct 2023
Other mistake: One of the slip-ups that incriminate Redd White involves the way the victim died. Phoenix points it out, saying, "The victim died from a 'single' blow!" Using quotation marks for "single." The autopsy report, though, does not literally say "single," but just that died from "a blow" without ruling others out. If this seems minor, consider that the Trilogy remake feels the need to remove the quotation marks, obviously because it was not quoting the in-game text of the autopsy report, which was much more vague.
4th Oct 2023
Continuity mistake: In the first scene, where Kojak manages to get inside the store to parlay with the criminals, he asks to talk to the wounded officer. Harvey Keitel says, "Go ahead." In the next shot, Jerry Talaba and Jack Murzie hold their guns in a different way. (00:15:15)
