The Matrix (1999)

Continuity mistake: When Cipher is making the deal, one second he is holding his cigar in his right hand, then all of a sudden it is in his left. (01:02:25)

Continuity mistake: When on the rooftop and the agent and Neo are shooting at each other Neo runs out of bullets and places the guns in front of him he starts avoiding the bullets. The camera angle changes and the guns disappear. When the camera angle goes back the guns are there and he reloads them. (01:07:00)

Continuity mistake: When Neo and Morpheus are in the hallway to see The Oracle, the shot of Neo's hand on the knob shows Morpheus with his sunglasses on. Morpheus is in shot the whole time when the door's opened, and he doesn't move an inch, but in the front shot as he walks through the door, his sunglasses have suddenly been removed. (01:07:40)

Continuity mistake: In the Oracle's house there is something wrong with the glasses in the cupboard behind Neo. When he's looking at the children, there are three small glasses in front, a big one behind and something else beside them. In a shot from below when the boy hands the spoon to Neo, the big glass has now moved to the left of the small ones. (01:08:25)

Continuity mistake: In the kitchen scene with Neo and the Oracle, the Oracle is baking cookies. When the Oracle takes the cookies out of the oven and brings them to the table there are 4 cookies on the plate. As she offers a cookie to Neo there are 6 cookies on the plate. (01:14:00)

Continuity mistake: When Neo comes back from the conversation with the oracle, a part of the cookie, which he has got from the oracle, is bitten off. A few seconds later he wants to eat the cookie and there is no sign of a bite anymore. (01:14:15)

Continuity mistake: When Mouse is in the room with the brick window, he drops one long box that is assumed to be full of guns. The scene cuts to Tank and then Mouse again. When he gets out the guns, he pushes 2 smaller boxes off the long box which weren't there before. (01:16:15)

Continuity mistake: In the fight in the toilet between Morpheus and Agent Smith, they're on the floor and Smith has his glasses on. Smith prises Morpheus' hands off him, punches him back against the wall, stands up in a menacing way, and his glasses aren't on any more. He wasn't hit at any point in that brief exchange, so where have his sunglasses disappeared to? [Only in the UK version - the BBFC's got a thing against headbutts, so cut several out from the film. In this case it caused Smith's sunglasses to disappear for no reason.] (01:20:30)

Continuity mistake: When Morpheus is fighting the agent in the bathroom of the building they were trapped in, the agent punches through a brick wall, yet next time we see the wall, there is no damage. (01:24:12)

Continuity mistake: When Neo tells tank that they need "Guns, lots of guns" he cocks the MP5 that he picks from the rack. It is matte black, but when the camera focuses in, it is shiny and reflective. (01:34:55)

Continuity mistake: When Morpheus is being interrogated by the agent alone, the camera switches from behind Morpheus, to just forward of him and back a few times. If you look at the agent's hand on Morpheus' head, you can see that his fingers switch from behind his ear to both sides of his ears as the camera changes. (01:36:25)

Continuity mistake: When the guard asks Neo to remove any metallic items after he sets off the metal detector, Neo's coat is open, and he's just got a T-shirt on, with no guns strapped to him. In the closeup, all the guns are visible. Most are down the side, but we should have seen the pistols in his belt from the earlier angle. If nothing else, with his coat open as much as it was, the guard should have spotted the weapons even before he opened it further... (01:37:00)

Continuity mistake: When Trinity runs sideways up the wall in the lobby under massive gun fire, the marble tiles on the wall move. (01:38:10)

Continuity mistake: In the lobby scene, after the SWAT team has entered, one of the SWAT guys charges, firing his M16 at Trinity. After she kicks him while he's putting in a new clip, his right hand's empty in the close up, but is holding the M16 (which he then drops) in the wider shot. (01:38:20)

Continuity mistake: In the lobby shoot up scene, when Trinity kicks the shotgun into her hands, watch carefully. She shoots, cocks, then the shot changes to her cocking again. And then, a shell comes out of the shotgun right after the shot. (01:38:45)

Continuity mistake: As Neo fights the guards in the main floor of the government building, he does a one handed somersault while shooting at the guards. If you watch closely on a shot behind Neo, he is aiming his gun way off to the right side yet still manages to shoot the guards. (01:39:15)

Continuity mistake: Shadows move about during the rooftop battle - easiest benchmarks are the shadow stretching towards us from the chimney-type thing at the start, then Trinity's stretching horizontally after she throws the knife at the remaining trooper. (01:41:30)

Continuity mistake: On the skyscraper, when Neo and Trinity kill all of the soldiers, Agent Brown comes to the roof. Neo immediately draws his guns and fires until both of his clips are empty. After that, Neo drops his guns, just as Agent Brown aims at him. During Bullet-Time there are no guns on the floor. When he hits the ground, then the guns are left and right of his legs. (01:41:50)

Continuity mistake: When Neo lands on the ground after being shot on the roof, there's no sun/shadows, but when the agent comes up to him straight afterwards, there's a very defined shadow behind Neo. (01:42:10)

Continuity mistake: When Trinity confronts the agent on the rooftop and says, "Dodge this", she points her gun to temple of the agent while his head is turned to her. He glances back, but never fully turns his head. The instant next shot shows him being shot facing Trinity with the gun in the middle of his forehead. (01:42:20)
