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)

Visible crew/equipment: In the freeway chase, an agent jumps on the bonnet of the car which we then see flip. In the side view when the doors fly open we can see the strengthening frame, gas canisters, etc, inside the car which create the effect. (01:23:50)

Visible crew/equipment: After Trinity and the Keymaker have jumped onto the lorry, Morpheus walks forward with his sword. In the shot of his upper body you can see the crew in his glasses. (01:25:35)

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Morpheus is sitting in the chair near the end of the movie giving his "War and fate" speech you can see the microphone and camera in his sunglasses. This is repeatedly seen during the whole scene. (01:43:00)

Visible crew/equipment: In the car chase when one of the cars flip forward toward you, (looking back down the freeway) for a split second there is a sideways view of the car and you can see a black box type shaped object with cables in the drivers area, but no driver - guess the flipping ram equip. This mistake can be seen on the UK DVD.

Visible crew/equipment: After the agent crushes the Oldsmobile, look inside and you'll see air cannons and a roll cage.

Visible crew/equipment: After the BIG crash during the freeway scene, if you look closely from Trinity's Ducati you can see the paramedics, cameramen, and equipment.

Visible crew/equipment: In the highway sequence, when Trinity hard-brakes the bike and stops to make a burnout U-turn, we can see the cam attached to the right side of the bike. In the same scene we can see that the headlights are off but Ducatis designated for the U.S. market don't have a switch to turn off the lights; once the ignition is switched on the lights are automatically on as well.

Visible crew/equipment: In the freeway chase, there's a black Oldsmobile Alero that flips just beside Trinity's Caddy. If you play it slowly (not essential, but helps), you can briefly see the rust coloured ramp used to flip the Alero.

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.

Continuity mistake: During the freeway scenes, the katana Morpheus used as a foot hold to grab the keymaker keeps moving. It was at arm's length from the top when he inserted it; when Morpheus was standing on it, the sword was a whole body length below the top; when Morpheus took the sword out in his fight against the agent, it was back in its original position.

Morpheus: There are some things in this world, captain Niobe, that will never change.

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."

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.
