Mistakes

In the scene where Trinity, Morpheus, and the Keymaker are standing on the bridge, Morpheus says "Trinity, get him out of here." Trinity then grabs the Keymaker and they both jump off of the bridge onto a truck. Then, when the car the twins are riding is heading toward Morpheus, you can see that there are guard rails on both sides of the bridge, however, next when Morpheus cuts the tires on the car the twins are riding with his Katana, the camera cuts a side shot of the bridge, and one side of the guard rails on the bridge has mysteriously disappeared.

Look for a cameo by noted racial scholar and professor Cornel West during the Zion Council meeting (he plays the Council Member who requests that a ship be sent to ascertain the fate of the Nebuchadnezzar).

Near the beginning of the freeway chase the car containing Morpheus, Trinity and the Keymaker and the van containing the superb "Twins" pass a billboard. This billboard is advertising steak. Steak was the meal Cypher ate with Smith in the first film. Also if you watch until the end of the credits of the first film you will find that the password for the website www.whatisthematrix.com is steak.

When Neo is meeting the Oracle, as well as when he's fighting the Agent Smiths right after, there are a bunch of words spray-painted on the fence, walls and bench, two of which are "one", spelled upside-down and backwards, and "role", which has to do with everyone having a role, or purpose, to play in and/or outside of the Matrix.

At various times in the movie, Morpheus makes a statement relating to dreams. In Greek/Roman mythology, Morpheus was the name of the god of dreams.

When Neo is talking to the Architect, watch the screens surrounding them. The Architect says they've learned that humans need an imperfect world with evil in it. One screen shows a picture of President George W. Bush while another shows a picture of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin-Laden.

When Neo, Trinity and Morpheus arrive at the Merovingian's restaurant, the camera pans left oddly from the main table to show a man walking away, looking over his shoulder at Neo. This man is the father of Seti from Revolutions. Kind of interesting, since in Revolutions, the father mentions his meeting with the Merovingian.

The Architect shows Neo images of the humans that will die if Neo chooses not to go into the Source. Many of those images are from the movie "Baraka." A study of comparative religion, "Baraka" contrasts the purity and beauty of nature and religion with the ugliness and misery of modern technological society. The word "baraka" means "odor of the holy," "fragrance of the divine," "saintly," etc. Interestingly, some of the images that Neo sees are of people who were killed in Nazi and Pol Pot concentration camps, as "Baraka" seems to suggest.

In the street where the super burly brawl takes place, there is writing on one of the buildings, that list floors for that particular structure. they are listed from one at the top, to 5 at the bottom. Also the 4th floor down is Lucifer Securities, another biblical reference.

In hacker terminology, a "backdoor" is a way of getting access to certain areas of sites, or getting access to computers, without being detected. This applies to the endless hall of doors as seen in Reloaded.

In the scene where Neo first meets and sits down with the Oracle. When the camera is behind Neo and Oracle, looking over their shoulders between them, you see a tall, brown fence across the plaza. On one side is written '1300,' on the other is written 'One or 'Neo' (I can't remember which), both in large, white letters. You see '1300' spray-painted on at least three different walls in various ways. First, '1300' is the military time for 1:00, or just one. It is also the year that Dante started his entry into hell in the Inferno. He begins the Inferno with, 'Midway through life's journey I wandered into a dark wood.' The Biblical life's journey lasted 70 years, and since Dante is believed to have been born in 1265, midway through his life would have been the year 1300. Second (and this is really creepy), you will notice that just after Agent Smith shows up, various scenes show that the 'One' or 'Neo' on the same fence as '1300' begins to fade over the next three shots until it completely disappears. It is shortly after the last shot, which shows that Neo's name is gone completely, that Agent Smith starts talking about the possibility that something in Neo got 'written over' something in Smith or vice versa. It is as if Smith's mere presence is trying to over-write Neo's presence, by eliminating him first from their surroundings. I was not able to tell, but I tried to see, after Neo successfully pulled Smith's hand out of his chest, whether Neo's name showed back up on the fence. But I couldn't tell.

In the highway chase scene, the license plate on the Twins' truck said DE2852. If you look in Deuteronomy 28:52 (NIV), it says, "They will lay siege to all the cities throughout your land until the high fortified walls in which you trust fall down." This is possibly making reference to the sentinels coming to attack Zion, which up until the end of Reloaded, has been the humans safe haven and their "high fortified walls" against the machines.

Towards the end of the freeway chase when the Agent takes control of the truck, the suspenseful sound effects that play in the background are almost identical to those used in the famous truck chase in Terminator 2.

When the Architect is talking about all the people that will die in Zion, there are clips from TV commercials and other movies on the screens beside/behind him. Among them is a famous black and white clip from Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film "Psycho".

In the scene were Trinity is fighting the agent in the building having just disabled the grid, when she is fighting and throughout the entire movie there is no visible place to store a gun or two guns as big as the ones she pulls out as she falls down the building, in such a tight suit.

In Egypt, the censorship body banned the film in June because it challenged "the topics of existence and creation".

It was the highest-grossing R-rated movie ever in North America until March 2004 when "The Passion of the Christ" passed it. In the history of R-rated films, it has the shortest reign as grossing champion when it held that title for nearly five months (after it passed "Beverly Hills Cop"). However, it is still the highest-grossing R-rated movie worldwide, taking over 100 million dollars more than The Passion of the Christ.

When the dance starts at Zion, the camera zooms in to show two drummers. The one on the left is Arion Salazar, the bassist for Third Eye Blind.

If you have seen "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", pay attention to the fight between Neo and the Oracle's Chinese bodyguard. It has the same exact hits, shots and music of the first fight of CTHD (it is especially obvious when we see both men's legs almost like dancing). A tribute from the directors?
