The Matrix Reloaded

Corrected entry: Isn't it weird that agents can easily dodge full clips of automatic machine guns at point blank range yet they can't dodge slower punches, kicks or katana blades?

Correction: The oracle explains that everything from birds to trees have a program that governs them. So do bullets. However, punches, kicks, and katana swings are all done by someone. If done by those that know how to bend the rules as well, who's to say they couldn't be hit?

Corrected entry: In the highway scene there is a lot of extreme driving occurring, which at many times results in cars crashing. Although these crashes occur many times behind our heroes, there seems to be a plentiful supply of fresh cars coming from behind who managed to dodge the accidents and speed up to catch up to our heroes, just in time to be involved in another accident.

Correction: The cars that the main characters are in are going a lot faster than the others are. They simply move fast enough for them to pass the normal cars up, thus placing more cars behind them.

Corrected entry: In the scene where the huge number of agents are fighting against Neo, you can see some of them running through a door. On the first shot, the door opens to the left side. The second shot shows the whole thing from above and the door opens to the right side.

Correction: Agents are coming through 3 doors.

Corrected entry: Granted, Zion's population is a mix of people freed from the Matrix and people born outside of it through natural means, but there are a lot of closeups of the dancing humans after Morpheus's speech and I did not see one person with any plugs in their arms, chests, or heads aside from Niobe, Morpheus, Trinity, and Neo.

Correction: You can see arm and chest plugs on some of the dancers after Morpheus' speech. It isn't just Niobe, Neo, Trinity and Morpheus that have them in this scene. It's also important to remember that it's almost always CHILDREN who are freed from the Matrix - remember Morpheus' comment in the first film, about making an exception in Neo's case? Yes, more people have been freed in the last 6 months than in the previous 6 years - but almost all children, who would not be at this temple meeting. Later on, when the Kid gives the spoon to Neo, he mentions that it's from 'one of the orphans'; more evidence that there are a lot of parentless children in Zion.

STP

Corrected entry: In the first scene of the movie, when Trinity launches her motorcycle off the roof of the parking garage, we see her flip off, and land with her left leg folded under her, and her right leg straight out. We they cut back to the wide shot, she is standing up much taller, with both legs spread.

Correction: Between these shots is one where the guard outpost explodes. It can be assumed that Trinity stands up.

Corrected entry: In the first movie, Trinity's neural plug is large, silver, and on the back of her head, visible amongst her hair when she turns around. In reloaded, it has shrunk, turned black, and moved to the back of her neck (there wasn't one on the back of her neck in the first movie).

Correction: Everyone (who has implants) has the small black one on the back of the neck. It isn't the large neural plug which can still be seen in its usual spot.

Corrected entry: When Trinity knocks out the secondary power supply during the end of the movie, there are lights all around when she jumps out of the window - what happened to loss of power in 27 city blocks?

Correction: I think this is a misconception of where the backup grid and its controls are located. Doesn't seem feasible to me to have the location of your backup power routing computers INSIDE the grid that might lose power.

Corrected entry: After Trinity steals the motorcycle and turns back heading into traffic, she passes an exit ramp. The yellow arrow painted on the road points up the ramp. Several police cars drive down this ramp in the opposite direction heading right into traffic themselves. So much for public safety.

Correction: Don't you think the police would be pretty desperate to capture them? I know they weren't really smart in the first movie, but they probably had a clue.

Corrected entry: During the freeway scene, wrecks are constantly happening. When Trinity turns the bike around and goes the opposite direction, they've all disappeared. The Matrix doesn't change things that radically.

Correction: All the accidents happen before Trinity and he Keymaker jump from the viaduct, so they couldn't come across them.

Corrected entry: If Morpheus can cut Agent Jackson's face with his sword and cause him to bleed and Trinity shoot one of the Twins in the arm and he bleed, why is it that Neo can whack the many Agent Smiths with a steel bar and no one have a bruise or even a bloody lip?

Correction: Because both Smith and Neo understand the matrix far better than any agent or being within it. In every fight scene Neo is in, he sustains zero damage. Why is it hard to believe that they "know" that its nothing more than a computer program. You don't get hurt unless you think you are hurt.

Corrected entry: When Trinity is trying to shut off the power, the computer gives her the choice Y/N. It closes up on the keyboard, and she presses enter. When you see the screen next, it says that she presses Y.

Johny English

Correction: When asked the yes/no question in most computer programs it is the default setting for enter to be yes.

Corrected entry: In the scene when Trinity jumps out the window and is fighting the agent, there are no cars on the ground, then when she lands she lands on a car.

Correction: As Trinity gets closer to the ground you can see a car moving so that it is where she is going to land. It isn't a parked car. Also that is a dream sequence so it is kind of irrelevant anyway.

Corrected entry: In the highway scene when the agent jumps off the middle car and lands on Trinity's car, you can see that in Trinity's car there aren't actors. You see a camera man and a women with blond hair driving. (01:23:35)

Correction: It's actually just the pale headrest around Trinity's head looking like blonde hair - the "cameraman" is just Morpheus still fighting one of the twins.

Corrected entry: During the highway chase scene, when Morpheus is battling an agent, it is clear that even though they are on top of a high speed truck, wind has no bearing on either of them or even the keymaker. The only time wind comes into play is when Morpheus is on the edge, about to fall.

Correction: How many times have we seen the "rules" of the Matrix being bent or broken with impossibly high leaps, blurringly fast moves, and other gravity-defying stunts? Is it so hard to believe that Morpheus and the others could choose to ignore the wind too? And it wasn't windblast that knocked Morpheus off the edge of the truck, it was the fact that he lost his balance and fell.

Corrected entry: When Trinity is attempting to hack into the power grid she uses a secure shell connection and types it in wrong. She types ssh 10.2.2.2 -l root. The correct syntax would be ssh -l root (IP address or name).

Correction: This is not true - ssl -l user ip-address works but ssh ip-address -l username works too.

Corrected entry: In the first movie, when Neo is recovering from being unplugged from the Matrix, there is a scene where they removed all of the metal plugs from his body - except for the last one in the back of his head. In Reloaded, all of the plugs are back.

Correction: They never removed the plugs from anyone, they only cleaned them out.

Corrected entry: After Niobe's car windshield gets smashed by Morpheus we see a side view of Morpheus jumping from Niobe's car to the semi truck. In this view we can see that Niobe's windshield is no longer broken.

Correction: Yes, it is. From the side, the only part of the windshield that is visible is the driver's side half of the windshield, which was mostly intact. You can still see the faint white traces of cracks even from that angle, though.

Phil C.

Corrected entry: There is never any gasoline in any car or motorcycle that is transported on a truck. How did Trinity steal it?

Correction: Actually this is wrong. I went to go new car shopping the other day and there was a car transporter there. I watched the guy lower the platforms and drive some cars off before I had to go.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Neo is fighting the Smith clones, he uses a metal pole to bat Agents away. He hits one agent up and through the window of a nearby building. In shots afterwards, the window is seen intact.

Correction: He bounces off the window - you can hear it if you listen closely.

Corrected entry: In the scene when Trinity is falling down to the ground with the agent shooting at her, with the tight outfit she had on, where did the two machine guns came from?

Correction: She picked up those guns from the floor during the previous fight scene.

The Matrix Reloaded mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: During the scene where Neo is talking to Agent Smith in the park area where Neo was talking to the Oracle, there is a close-up on Agent Smith's face. In his sunglasses you can see a bright white screen to reflect the light onto the faces of the actors. This isn't visible in any non-reflected angles. You can also see the cameraman on the other side. (00:51:15)

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.

More quotes from The Matrix Reloaded

Trivia: In the highway chase scene, the license plate on Trinity's car says DA203. If you look in Daniel 2:3, which says "he said to them, 'I have had a dream that troubles me and I want to know what it means.'" This is possibly making reference to Neo's dream, because he went to the oracle partly to figure out what his dream about Trinity meant. The biblical text is speaking about King Nebuchadnezzar's searching for the meaning of his dream. In Verse 3, the Nebuchadnezzar says, "I have dreamed a dream." In Verse 5, when asked to explain his dream, he says, "The thing is gone from me" (all this is from the classic King James Version). Near the end of the movie as the Nebuchadnezzar explodes as a result of the sentinels' bomb, Morpheus says "I have dreamed a dream, and now that dream has gone from me."

More trivia for The Matrix Reloaded

Question: In the final trailer and on the UK DVD menu there is a shot of Neo putting his glasses on and it going to 'Matrix view'. Does anyone know why this shot was cut from the film,it's cool.The background looks like the 'Burly Brawl' location. Could it have been at the beginning of that? Any knowledge of this out there?

Answer: This was made just for the trailers. The same part (without the Matrix code) can be seen when Smith says "suprised to see me?" to which Neo replies "No." and puts on his sunglasses before the Burly Brawl.
