The Great Gatsby (2013)

Revealing mistake: When Nick starts talking about Gatsby to his doctor, a green reflection is visible in the doctor's glasses when the doctor says "Where'd you meet him?" There's no other object in the room that is that style of green (it's most likely a green screen). (00:03:00)

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. In the shot from behind Iron Man, part of the green screen is reflected on the right side of his helmet. Can't be a tree or a bush because those are all dark green colored and the reflection is much lighter. (00:46:55)

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".

Codswallop. O'Reilly manages to do a half decent job. This is just a wobbly set.

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.

Fawlty Towers (1975)

The Shooting Star - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: When the scientists are eating their dinner and begin to get sea sick, one of them has a glass of wine. The wine slides along the table, yet the wine in the glass stays in a fixed position. (00:10:40)

The Shooting Star - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: Professor Fossil places the results over a lamp and says "I have never seen such a formation before". As he says this, Tintin appears on screen. He never walks into shot, he just appears on the screen out of nowhere. (00:07:40)
