The Avengers (2012)
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Iron Man and Thor fight, Thor begins to crunch Iron Man's metal arms so Iron Man fires at Thor and then headbutts him.

Fawlty Towers (1975)
The Builders - S1-E2
Revealing mistake: When Basil smashes Manuel against the wall where the dining room is meant to be, we can see it is made out of cardboard. Notice how it begins to fall off, even though it is meant to be sealed and covered in wallpaper. (00:16:05)
Suggested correction: Perhaps this was due to O'Reilly's shoddy workmanship?
You could say that but Fawlty towers had wobbly sets all the time. I would say this would be covered under "mistakes".
Where is the 'codswallop' as you so euphemistically put it? To me it looks like O'Reilly cut corners by shoddily placing a sheet of plasterboard in the doorway without attaching it well then shoddily wallpapering over it. Hence the reason for it falling out.
