Continuity mistake: In the beginning, Neo opens the FedEx envelope twice.
Continuity mistake: In the first scene in which Neo appears, we see him from above, sleeping in front of his computer. The keyboard he is using is a Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro with the atypical curved key configuration. When messages begin appearing on his screen, he tries to stop them by hitting various keys, but the closeup of the keys show keys from a standard keyboard that are clearly not the keys on a Natural Keyboard Pro. (00:06:40)
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 Neo is in the helicopter firing the automatic weapon into the building he is moving the gun horizontally. The bullets strike vertically, though, starting from the floor near the window and traveling upwards towards the back wall of the room. There are two shots that show this.
Continuity mistake: In the scene right after Neo steals a man's cellular phone, we see him running down an alley with the back of his shirt untucked from his pants. After cutting back from the agent who's chasing him, we see that Neo's shirt has miraculously tucked itself back into his pants.
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 Tank comes into Neo's room and talks to him, just before his training, note that there is a rip in Tank's shirt near his right shoulder. Near the end of the scene, the shot changes to Neo, then when it cuts back to Tank, there's no rip. When it cuts to Neo and back to Tank again, the rip is there.
Continuity mistake: When Neo puts his glasses on at the end and looks up you can see a blonde woman walk behind him left to right. In the very next shot from above him there is no one behind him except a large empty pavement. The woman has disappeared. (02:03:45)
Continuity mistake: When Neo kills all the agents with the minigun and Morpheus releases himself from the handcuffs, as Smith shoots Morpheus through the wall, a close-up shows him almost dry when in the previous shot he was completely wet. (01:49:25)
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: Near the end of the movie after agent Smith shoots Neo. Trinity is whispering to Neo, as she leans toward him there is a small strand of hair on Trinity's right temple slowly falling down on her face. The shot changes to Neo's face and back to Trinity where her hair is now perfectly in place and the strand is gone.
Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the movie, where Trinity runs from the agents, she jumps towards a window. She turns slowly in the air, eventually facing upwards when she crashes through the window, no longer turning. From the inside shot, however, she comes through it face down (so she can roll forwards down the stairs). (00:04:55)
Suggested correction: She isn't facing up, if you look the camera does a 180° around Trinity, and also if she appears to be facing the top of the screen, she's actually still looking at the street which in this moment is... well, above the screen.
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 Morpheus and Neo are fighting in the training simulation, just after Morpheus says, "You think that's air you're breathing now?" there is a pause before he prompts Neo, "Again." The shot goes to others watching on the monitors, notice Dozer looks to his left in the direction of Mouse. In the next shot the camera cuts to Cypher and Trinity (who are sitting behind Mouse) but Dozer's head is now facing the opposite direction it should be. (00:50:10)
Continuity mistake: When Trinity and Neo have rescued Morpheus and are flying through the air, Neo drops Morpheus then Neo lands, but Neo is halfway on the rooftop, yet when he grabs hold of the rope and is dragged along the rooftop, he is sliding almost the entire length of the rooftop. (01:46:05)
Continuity mistake: When Neo and Morpheus are in the matrix simulation program, look at the people behind Smith as he draws his weapon. Normal. Then, when he is frozen and Neo looks back at him, you will see that all of the people are facing towards Neo or walking towards him. (00:54:50)
Continuity mistake: When Agent Smith has Neo in a headlock on the train tracks in the station there is blood coming out of Neo's mouth and going down his chin. In the next shot the blood is almost completely gone apart for a little bit on his lips and a spot of it on his chin. (01:53:10)
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: When Smith put his glasses on the table while he is talking with Neo, the glasses are near Smith. When Smith takes them back, they are further away. (00:18:00)
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)
