The Matrix Reloaded

Corrected entry: When Neo is fighting the Smiths with the metal pole in the playground, there is one part where Neo and Smith are holding it and it bends as if it were plastic.

Correction: You can reason that this was intentionally done by Neo to help him fight Smith.

Corrected entry: A lot of people might not agree but watching the big rave / dance scene in Zion just did not seem right to me. 250,000 Sentinals are drilling their way towards the city and will hit their target in less then 72 hours. The humans have nowhere to run. Does this seem like a good time to have a party? Wouldn't it be more prudent to prepare the city's defenses or even be working on more of them? I wouldn't care how motivating Morpheous's speech was, I'd be more worried about the machines then my dance routine.

Correction: This is an opinion rather than a mistake - plus he does a very good job of portraying the machines as nothing to be afraid of, given their inability to attack Zion in the past, and inspiring everyone to shed their fear.

Corrected entry: Throughout both the Matrix, and Reloaded, we see that it takes at least five seconds or more for a normal person to "transform" into an Agent. Yet on the Freeway chase, one Agent transforms from a human into an agent with his arm stretched out ready to fire in about a second, the time it takes to pass an obstruction.

Phoebe

Correction: Not quite so. On Matrix, when Neo is running away from agents, he runs thru some house department and gets thru a kitchen. There's an old woman with a kitchen knife on her hand, when Neo continues running he listens the knife hitting the door frame and when he turns back he sees an agent instead of the old lady. This transformation took also a fraction of a second. The Matrix can transform people into agents very fast indeed. We just don't know what affects the speed - possibly the weakness of the "host" mind.

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: Towards the end of the movie, someone mentions that the door to the 'Source' is on a floor of the building that cannot be reached by elevator or stairs. Yet when Trinity decides to go into the Matrix, Link tells her to go to the 65th floor. How would she be able to get there without elevator or stairs?

Correction: She's pretty resourceful. She could have found a way to get to the roof and then down from there, for instance.

Phixius

Corrected entry: In the chase scene, one of the cars (perhaps the same one above that's missing the gas tank?) that flips end over end is missing its drive shaft.

Correction: The car, an Olds Aurora, has no driveshaft as it is front-wheel drive.

Then what is the shaft tunnel for?

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: A strategy is still being formulated.
Morpheus: I'm sure it is.

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.
