This mistake can be seen on the UK DVD. See more...

The first movie contained several references to Alice in Wonderland. In Reloaded, when we first encounter the twins in the restaurant, they are smoking a hookah pipe, like the caterpillar did in Alice in Wonderland.

This is just fun. When The Architect is speaking to Neo about the different versions of The Matrix, he explains he had to change it "...to more accurately reflect the varying grotesqueries of your nature." At the precise moment he says "grotesqueries", both father and son George Bush show up on the screens. Coincidence? Nah.

A freeway was built on a military base in California specifically in order to film the freeway chase scene. It was built as a continuous loop that is about 2 miles of freeway. This also explains why you see some of the background repeating.

Has anyone noticed how when Neo gets yelled at by his boss in the first film, his comments are relevant to the first film and this one? Neo has to make a choice whether he wants to keep his job (stay in the matrix )or leave (be freed from the matrix), that he believes that he is special, that somehow the rules don't apply to him, and then he says, "Obviously you're mistaken." The architect said something like, "If too many started to having doubts about if their world is real, the matrix would break down and they had to start over again." This is more or less exactly what his boss says to him in the beginning, when he mentions something like how this is one of the world's greatest software companies because every single employee is part of a whole. And if one of their employees has problems then so does the rest of the company.

One night on the 2 mile stretch of highway made for the movie, a security guard decided to race his car up and down when no one was around. He did, but he totalled his car and instead of telling anyone, he just ran off and was never seen again. (A little bit of info from Keanu Reeves on an interview on the Tonight Show).

The "code" in the matrix consists mainly of both Western numbers and the Japanese katakana writing (a Japanese script used especially for foreign words). Both were mirrored vertically.

The 'twin' characters are non-film actors, but carpenters by trade, whose only other screened work was on UK TV programme Carol Vorderman's Better Homes (DIY show). They have done some stunt work, but got the part when the makers of the film were looking for identical male twins who were both skilled in martial arts.

When the Keymaker is explaining the process that Neo must use to get to the source, he says that the door for the architect will only be open for 314 seconds. The mathematical constant, pi begins with 3.14. Coincidence?

When they are in the matrix the sky and buildings and everything is a shade of green to match the matrix code.

A real power station in Sydney (the White Bay Power Station) was blown up for the - what else - power-station-blowing-up scene. It was slated for demolition anyway and the film makers requested that they organise it and film it. A lot of people got quite excited about it and turned out to watch it all happen, but in the end it was a bit of a let-down - it's obviously been enhanced for the film.

The Merovingian introduces his wife as Persephone. This alludes to Greek mythology, where Persephone was the reluctant wife of Hades, ruler of Hell. This hints that (1) the Merovingian is evil and (2) Persephone doesn't love him (like Persephone hated Hades in mythology).

In "The Matrix," Smith tells Morpheus several interesting things when they are trying to get the access codes for Zion. When he is talking about the humans, he says what he hates is the smell. "I feel I have somehow been infected by it. It's repulsive. I must get out of here, I must get free." Later he says "Once Zion is destroyed there is no need for me to be here." These are all foreshadowing for Reloaded and Revolutions.

Apoc is probably an abbreviation of "Apocalypse" or "Apocalyptic." This means the destruction and end of the world (and causing death, harm and destruction). Apocryphal means "a story about a famous person or event is well-known but probably not true" (the prophecy was something like this and the famous person is Neo).

When the three agents arrive and Neo fights with them, he kicks the final agent into a lamp post. The camera pans to the very top of the lamp post, as the glass falls down the top of the lamp post reads: "Darrow Industries" This is an homage to Geof Darrow, the graphic artist for the films.

At least two points in the movie the number 101 is shown ... 101 was the apartment number of Neo in the first movie. In addition, the freeway race is on the 101 and the 303 (Neo-1, Trinity-3). In addition, 101 is the binary number for 5. 5 Matrixes have already passed and the current one is number 6.

The translation of the word "Vigilant" (the ship of Captain Soren) is "giving careful attention to what is happening, so that you will notice any danger or illegal activity." The people outside the Matrix are well aware of the situation (war), so they are vigilant. The people in the matrix are oblivious ("billions, just living our their lives." - Agent Smith).
