The Matrix Reloaded

Revealing mistake: When Smith is talking to Neo in the park after seeing the oracle, the direction of the sunlight over Smith doesn't match the shadows in the park.

Visible crew/equipment: In the freeway chase scene, when the Keymaker and Trinity are on the bike flying off the truck, you can see under the Ducati logo some sort of scaffolding and a crew member standing there as to film the "slow motion" shot. The reflection is clear, the bike isn't moving at all, nor reflecting the highway.

Visible crew/equipment: When Morpheus is giving his "Three captains, three ships" speech, after Niobe asks if "What if you're wrong?", as Morpheus responds, the roof of the studio and the stage lights are visible in his glasses.

Revealing mistake: When the Key-Maker shuts the door in the corridor-scene while being shot at by Smiths, one dead Smith-body lies in the corridor, the one that Neo knocked through the crown of other Smiths. When you look closely at the body of the Smith, you can see his right foot slowly moving.

Suggested correction: Who says he's dead? It just got knocked down.

Continuity mistake: In the freeway chase, Agent Johnson jumps from an overpass onto the top of the truck carrying Morpheus and the Keymaker. Just before the truck goes beneath the overpass, a freeway distances sign (Whipple Ave ½, Woodside Rd 1-½, Marsh Road 3-¾) is briefly visible. As the truck emerges on the other side, the same sign appears again, behind Johnson, to the right.

Continuity mistake: In the freeway chase scene, look carefully at the Ducati carrier truck. After the truck's driver's body is taken over by one of the Agents and the camera shows the outside of the truck, you can see that it is a completely different truck, carrying a red shipping container instead of the motorbikes.

Thumpback

Revealing mistake: In the freeway chase scene, look carefully at the interior of the cars that get flipped over by the Agents and the Twins. All of them are completely empty, meaning that either they are remotely controlled or they are simply towed by a hidden vehicle. This is most obvious when they are flipping in slow-motion.

Thumpback

Continuity mistake: When Neo is talking to the Oracle, in the close up shots of her, her temple is resting on her fist. On the shot behind, her fist is on her cheek.

Movie Nut

Continuity mistake: During the highway chase, just before one of the twins ghosts into Trinity's car, during the shot with the flipping car, the traffic behind Trinity's car is missing.

Niobe: I remember. I remember you used to dance. I remember you were pretty good.
Morpheus: There are some things in this world, captain Niobe, that will never change.
Lock: Niobe!
Morpheus: Some things do change.

Trivia: Near the beginning of the film, Agent Smith drives up in an Audi with the license plate "IS 5416". This appears to be a Bible reference--Isaiah 54:16--reads as follows (from the King James Version): "Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy."

Chosen answer: Obsolete programs are given the choice of deletion or exile. The Merovingian takes them in and, with his abilities to code the Matrix, allows them to stay under his protection.
