In the scene where Thor is dropped from the cell chamber, the ship is supposed to be in free-fall, having lost 2 engines. I've seen this a few times now, and I'm pretty sure the one Iron Man is restarting isn't back on, and the second one has been disabled. If this is the case, Thor should not fall. Neither should the characters running about the ship be experiencing gravity. [If 2 of the engines are still running, it's under 1/2 thrust and falling relatively slowly, not in free fall.]
Edit
When the computer model gets a hit on the tesseract, Banner and Romanoff move to the computer, with Banner standing on the left of agent Romanoff. When Hawkeye blows up the turbine, Banner and Romanoff have switched places. [As Bruce Banner walks over to the Monitor, Natasha Romanoff follows him over and stands next to the desk. Bruce remains on the right of Natasha, before the explosion, after the explosion, and even as they fly through the glass windows Bruce remains on the right and Natasha remains on the left. When Bruce and Natasha fall to the ground, Natasha is still on the left and Bruce is still on the right.]
Edit
After Iron Man takes out a worm "Jonah style", he crashes into a cab and stops about two feet away. There is a quick shot of him inside of his suit. But when he gets up, the cab is nowhere to be seen. [If you watch closely, Iron Man falls back farther than the cab, far enough that in the next camera angle the cab can't be seen. The cab didn't disappear, he just rebounds off it far it enough that it isn't in the next shot.]
Edit
An orchestra is being played at the concert in Germany that Loki invades. Yet for some strange reason, when Loki throws the man on to the table and jabs that thing in his eye, the orchestra keeps playing, and not even taking into account the fact they are currently witnessing a guy getting killed. [The same piece of music is played continuously, starting initially with the orchestra, but also heard over scenes of Captain Rogers on the helicarrier, the jet in flight, Hawkeye's assault on the secure laboratory and so forth. It also plays continuously over an important speech and several jumps in time, such as Loki moving from the balcony to the stairs in consecutive shots without passing through the intervening space and is unusually well-choreographed to his subsequent actions. While the music apparently starts out as diagetic (i.e. being played by the musicians who are actually present in the scene), it is not intended to remain that way throughout the sequence.]

When Captain America is punching the heavy bags and Fury first walks in, the bag that Captain America is punching [not the one he already broke] changes from not having duct tape around the middle, to having it, and then back. [The bag does not change. The front view shows an Everlast tag, then when the bag is behind Captain America, the pillar next to the bag has padding and tape around it, that looks like a different bag.]
Edit
When Agent Coulson dies one of his eyes are open and one of his eyes are partially open. But in the wide shot, the eye that was open is now closed (You may need to look closely to see this) and the eye that was partially open is now fully closed. [I disagree. The left eye looks partially open in the wider shot to me. It is clearer on BluRay.]
Edit Corrected by XIII Time
The nuclear missile that is fired at Manhattan, the Air to Ground (AGM)-154 Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) does not actually have nuclear capability. The F-35 Lightning II, which fired the missile, however, can actually carry the JSOW and will eventually be able to carry the B61 nuclear bomb. [Given the large amount of entirely fictional technology depicted in the film, it's not unreasonable that SHIELD, the possessor of much of that technology, could have been able to retrofit the missile to carry a nuclear payload for those occasions where it might prove necessary.]
Edit Corrected by Tailkinker
When Bruce Banner morphs into The Hulk, his pants are intact. However when Bruce forms back into human form, he is naked when his pants should have remained intact due to remaining intact when he first morphs. [His pants are intact but are stretched beyond repair and fell off him during his fall.]
Edit Corrected by XIII Time
After the fight between Thor and Hulk, Thor gets blood from his nose, but the gods don't bleed. [Of course they do if you hit them hard enough. Odin has a visibly bloody eye socket during the war against the Frost Giants at the beginning of Thor, and the ice shard that impales Fandral during the ill-fated trip to Jotunheim in the same film is visibly smeared with blood.]
Edit Corrected by Tailkinker
In the fight scene between Thor and Iron Man, after Captain America tells Thor to put the hammer down, he slaps Iron Man back several feet away from them and then jumps even further away. After Thor hits the Captain's shield, as they are all getting up, Iron Man is right next to Captain America and Thor (when he should be about fifty feet away) [Iron Man had time to get up and get close again before he got hit by the shockwave.]
Edit Corrected by Anastasios Anastasatos Time
Throughout the film each hero had been addressed by their respective codename at least once, with the exception of Natasha Romanov. She is either called Agent Romanov, Natasha or 'Nat'; never 'Black Widow'. [The Russian calls her "Black Widow" in the introductory scene, just a few minutes into the movie.]

When the arrow explodes aboard the ship Captain America [already in his outfit with long sleeves and has auburn hair] tells Tony Stark [wearing a long sleeved shirt, black hair] to suit up. They both leave but one of them can be seen running seconds later with auburn hair and a short sleeved t-shirt. [The person in the t-shirt seen running is only seen from the back and so could easily be one of the many SHIELD personnel that are shown to be rushing through the hallways to respond to the threat/explosion.]
Edit Time
Helicopters work by creating a low pressure zone above the rotors, by forcing the air down. In other words, sucking air away from the top side. Since the helicarrier is basically a giant helicopter, it's lifted by rotors, it should be sucking air in from the top. But judging by the way Banner's jacket blows, it's blowing air out. [While it's true a helicopter rotor uses reduced pressure above the rotor to produce lift, a rotor in a hovering [which is what the carrier is doing as it begins converting from sea to air] or vortex ring state, will produce updraft at the tips of the rotors, which is what is causing Banner's jacket to blow the way it does.]

Thor's hammer has a slightly altered appearance in this film from how it was seen in Thor. Where before it had a mostly brown handle with a brown strap at the end, now the end of the shaft has a silver cap, with the brown strap connected to each side, and the handle is more prominently ringed by silver. While some may rationalize this by suggesting maybe Asgard redesigned it between movies, remember that this is an ancient weapon and the Asgard do not seem like the type of people who would alter their holy artifacts with superficial changes. [Saying that the Asgardians "do not seem like the type of people who would alter their holy artifacts with superficial changes" is just your opinion. Unless you can provide irrefutable evidence that neither Thor nor the Asgardians would alter his hammer, then it isn't a mistake. Especially when you take into account that the look of Thor's hammer has undergone dramatic changes before in the comics.]

Iron Man kicks Thor through a tree, but the rest of the tree never comes down. [That's because there was no upper half of the tree to begin with. Look at the shot when Thor summons his hammer back after first hitting Iron Man with it during the forest fight. It comes back to his hand, and you can see behind him the jagged top of the stump; the rest of the tree had already fallen before Iron Man booted Thor through it. The shot where Iron Man kicks Thor through it does make it seem like there is a whole tree, because the shot isn't "tall" enough to show that the top of the tree isn't there anymore.]
Edit
Towards the beginning of the film Steve Rogers is working out his frustrations on a punching bag in a gym. He finally hits the bag so hard that it breaks open and flies against the wall. Watch the chain it was hanging from when he makes the final punch. Despite the force of the blow the chain connecting the bag to the ceiling stays completely motionless. [The chain you see does not move, true. But that chain is in the FOREGROUND, even though it is hanging from the same metal frame that Steve mounts the punching bags on. However, it is not the chain that the bag was hanging from. You're talking about a single chain that hangs straight down, but each punching bag is hung from three chains connected by a metal ring, which he connects direcly to a hook on the large metal frame.]
Edit
MAJOR SPOILERS: Agent Coulson dies with his eyes open. When Fury stands up, Coulson's eyes are suddenly closed. [If you look closely you can see that his left eye is partially open in both the close-up and the wider shots. You can't see his right eye in the wider shot so you can't make the comparison.]
Edit Corrected by XIII
Early in the final battle, there is a scene where some of the letters on the STARK sign on Stark Tower are falling off of the building. One of those letter was A, but at the end of the movie, the A is still on the tower. [It's the R and the K that we see get broken off during the Loki & Thor fight. A short time later, after Loki escapes Thor on one of the Chitauri sleds, a wide shot is shown of the tower and you can see the STA and a small portion of the R still present on the tower.]
Edit
In Iron Man 2, Stark makes the new triangle thing that's saving his life and he has it throughout the Avengers, suit on or off. But in the last battle up from when he jumps out the window after his little chat with Loki to the end, he has the other one, the circle one that was slowly killing him. [The design of the aperture on his suit has no bearing on anything relating to his health. Stark's arc reactor is still circular, it's just the new central core that's triangular. The upgraded suit that Stark uses in the finale of Iron Man 2 has a triangular aperture as a nod to that, but it's purely an aesthetic choice on his part. As such, there's no reason why Stark can't revert to using a circular aperture on subsequent models.]
Edit Corrected by Tailkinker
Towards the end of the movie, when Captain America combats the aliens in the building with the civilians held hostage, he throws his shield and is left to fight them hand to hand. A grenade is dropped and in the meantime, his shield is nowhere to be seen. Cap rushes to the window in one shot and in the next he is holding his shield in time to protect himself from the blast. [If you look closely after Cap defends himself with that aliens body and does the back flip/roll he picks up the shield from the ground to protect himself from the blast.]
