Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click "make changes" when viewing mistakes, and click "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again.

When Neo flies away from the Hundred Smiths, we see the Smiths watch and start to wander their separate ways but if you watch the Smiths as they walk off (except for the last three) their hair changes from Smith's style to the style of the stuntmen used for the sequence. [They didn't even use CG heads for most of the Smiths during that scene, save for one or two in the back. (The ones whose faces look somewhat flatter and awkward compared to Hugo Weaving's.) Most of the Smiths were done by filming Weaving multiple times doing a "look left, look right, walk away" thing, and then combining them all into one image. The "change" in their hair is simply the result of the lighting. You can even see the hair of one of the front three Smiths that you speak of begin to "change" as he walks away.]
In the freeway scene, Trinity is going to turn the motorcycle 180 degrees. When she has turned the motorcycle and drives away, the motorcycle has now a green color, yet in other shots the motorcycle is black. [The paint used on the bike is a pearlescent paint, this is a paint which looks one colour but when you look at it at a certain angle it appears to have changed colour. The reason they have made it a black/green colour is to keep with the fact that there is a green tint to everything in the Matrix to represent the code.]
After Trinity turns back around on the motorcycle, the police start to follow her. How in the world did they know that Trinity had turned around on her motorcycle and that she would be coming around to their exit only a second or so before they got there? [The agents sent word to the police. But it wasn't a second or two before she got there that they knew. The police knew that she had been turned around for some time, it was just chance that they came so close to intercepting Trinity.]
Niobe says that the machines are digging at about 100 meters per hour, their current depth is 2000 meters, and they will reach Zion in 72 hours. This puts Zion at a depth of 9800 meters, or 9.8 kilometers. In the Final Flight of the Osiris in the Animatrix, Zion's depth is given at 4 kilometers. [The captain of the Osiris said that Zion is 4 kilometers straight down. Niobe is most likely compensating for the twists and turns that the machines would have, and did, make on the way to Zion.]
When Neo is fighting with Seraph, there's a shot of him doing a backflip, but he is still on the same table the shot later. [He doesn't jump. He bends backward to avoid being hit by Seraph.] Corrected by Dr Wilson
In the freeway scene, during the part with one of the twins in the back of the car fighting Morpheus, one shot shows the twin putting a knife against the keymakers throat. If you look out of the rear window, you will see a white van. Then there is a quick shot of Trinity. When the camera cuts back to the twin and the keymaker, the white van is gone and is replaced by a black van. [It's the same white van. Just before it gets to the point where it moves out of camera shot you can see the van coming out of a shaded area.]
During the chase scene on the freeway, the Agent driving the police cruiser empties a magazine into the Cadillac that Trinity is driving. You can see the bullet holes being punched into the car door. Two or three holes are seen hitting in line with Trinity's chest. The Agent weapon of choice is the Desert Eagle .50 AE which would have went through the door, through Trinity, and into Morpheus, if not through him. Yet, the holes appear and she keeps on going. [Not if the Agent is using hollow points. More damage to his victim, but poor penetration.] Corrected by Grumpy Scot
When one of the twins has his arm through the door to the car park and the other twin is coming up out of the floor, the other twin flies through the door you can look through him and see that the door is shut and the twin is standing at the closed door without his arm in the door. [If you look closely, you'll see that the twin by the door has his arm still through the door. At first I thought the same, but on closer inspection you can see that what appears to be the twin by the door's hand is in fact just the hand of the twin who is flying through the door.]
In the scene where Neo removes the bullet from Trinity's abdomen, the deformation patterns on the bullet are inconsistent with a body impact; the bullet has simply crumpled like an accordion, rather than expand as that particular round is designed to do in a hydrostatic environment. [Making physics arguments in the Matrix doesn't really work. First of all, the Agent is firing a Desert Eagle .50AE. One of those bullets will go right THROUGH you. No crumpling or anything. Explanation within the storyline: Trinity has a good understanding of the Matrix, and she's putting all of her mental resources into getting out alive. So the bullet crumpled and didn't go deep into her body hardened by mental force, rather than going all the way through. Like it would have done to a normal person.]
When Trinity and the keymaker are about to jump off the overpass you see almost the end of the second half emerge from under the overpass as they jump. By the time they should have landed on the trailer it would have been at least 20 feet down the road but they land at the front of the second half. [This entry would get an A in physics, but is not relevant here. Speeds are continuously slowed down and sped up so that we the viewer can get the best idea of what is going on. We see this jump in different speeds of slow motion, so this type of analysis is not accurate.]
At the beginning of the brawl, if you look at one of the Smiths just to the left on Neo, his face looks plastic. ["Looks like" is a phrase that is used when you are unsure of something, and similarity - often based on perspective - differs from person to person. While you say it is plastic, others might say it's realistic.]
When Neo first starts fighting the Smiths, two grab him by the arms and he does a flip kick thing and kicks two in front of him. In slow motion you can see at least with the left one that he doesn't come anywhere near. [non-linear time(from .5 sec to mins) is a technique used very often in M2, it is a repeated motion w/ different angle]
Near the end of the Burly Brawl, Neo leans right back and swings the pole around himself. The top down view of this shows the Smiths come right in close to Neo but in the next slow-mo shot of the Smith jumping up high the Smiths are much further away from Neo. [At 58:17, you can see there's only 1 Smith that is behind and very close to Neo. The rest (behind Neo) are at least 2 people width away from him. From the next angle, the close-to-Neo Smith is definitely behind him, while the 6th frame after the change you can see his fist, the others are at a reasonable distance.]
When the Nebuchadnezzar is arriving at Zion at the beginning of the film they are just about to go through the gate. Here, Link's face illuminates from the light inside Zion but in the next shot the gate is only now opening. [The blue light comes from the monitor and scanners and other apparatus in the cockpit, while another dim orange light comes from a light that is in the Nebuchadnezzar's cockpit.]
In the fight scene between Neo and the Merovingians, Neo stabs one of the guys in the gut and he breaks the railing and falls off the balcony. Neo jumps down immediately after him, and you can see a large part of broken cement pass through Neo's foot unhindered. [Mistake 1: Look frame by frame. What you see when it is half invisible is not hidden by Neo's foot, but by the "tail" of Neo's suit. Mistake 2: They are not the Merovingians, they are Merovingian's henchman. They are lycanthropes or vampires Merovingian keeps.]
The agent shoots bullets which are headed straight for the windows behind Trinity at the beginning of the film when they are falling out of the building. The windows never smash [As the bullet trail shows, the bullet is heading for the wall underneath the window, not the window itself. Even IF the bullet is heading for the window, under bullet time, it has not reached the window yet]
When the neb is coming into Zion, you don't see anyone at the direct base of the gate, you see someone closer to the center of the loading dock. When the gates close, you see a person in a giant mechanical suit and he slowly turns around, and slowly takes a few steps. There would not be enough time for that to get to the base of the gate. [Nope. A closer look at the scene shows that not only is there an APU moving in the distance, but there is a stationary APU standing right under the ship as it enters, in the exact spot we see it in the next shot.]Previous Page • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 • Next page
