The way it all unfolds with Neo dying at the end and looking at his weakest throughout the whole movie, is a clear reference of the last days of Jesus Christ, in which he looked his most weak and humble. As a matter of fact, Neo, just like Jesus died to save everyone, he even died with his arms outstretched on a dark summit very similar to Golgotha, the place where Jesus died.

The Jesus references keep coming, because after Neo leaves the Logos, we see what he sees. When he's walking towards the opening, he looks down and sees ripples going from his feet, almost as if he was walking on water.

The Oracle never breathes out any of the smoke from her cigarettes, even when she talks immediately after having a drag. Fake cigarette or part of the Oracle's mystery? Either way it's almost certainly a reference to the ancient Greek Oracle at Delphi, where the Pythia would engage in a ritual that involved inhaling laurel and barley smoke before giving her prophecy.

After Agent Smith throws Trinity into the lower deck of the Logos, she frees herself with a piece of glass. The shot of her looking up is an obvious reference to the Wachowski Brothers earlier film, Bound, in which the heroine frees herself in the same way.

When Trinity, Morpheus and Seriph are chasing the Trainman, they run past some billboards on the walls. Some of them advertise Powerade drink which is found in the Enter the Matrix game (it's common in Australia, where this was filmed, so this isn't major trivia, but interesting). Also the last billboard Seriph runs past says "Follow the white rabbit".

In the beginning of the movie Neo is caught in a squeaky clean, glaring white subway station, trapped "between your world and the machine world". There is a sign on the wall, displayed very prominently throughout the entire duration of the whole scene, that says "Mobil Ave". The "Mobil" is most likely a deliberate anagram of "limbo", a good description of where he's trapped.

Just before the images of matrix code at the beginning of the movie settle on the orange "Explosion" you can see the code form a small bulls head. It's a nice nod to Chicago, the Wachowski brothers home city. Plus their home NBA team, the Chicago Bulls.

The cat that appears at the end when Sati wakes up is the same cat that was in the first film when Neo said he had a case of deja vu. It even shakes the same way when the matrix changes.

In Enter The Matrix, the accompanying video game to Reloaded and Revolutions, the Oracle tells Niobe that the reason she looks different is because two programs she trusted sold the termination code for her former shell to the Merovingian in exchange for the life of their child. That child is Sati, who Neo meets in the train station.

The Kid (the boy who opens the gate after Mifune dies) is one of the few side characters that has a background. In the 'Animatrix' episode 'Kid's Story', It is possible to learn how he got out of Matrix and understand what Neo means in Matrix Reloaded ('you saved yourself').

Additional "Jesus" references: 1) when the surge of power goes through Neo's real body as his Matrix self is assimilated, it forms a plainly visible crucifix shape across his torso and outstretched arms. 2) In the long view of Neo's body on the barge as it is borne away, when it switches to the fiery "alternate vision" the machines' tentacles form a very angelic outline.

In the credits, the source (the big machine head that speaks to Neo) is credited as "Deus ex machina" which means "a god from a machine." In ancient Greek and Roman dramas, a deus ex machina referred to a god lowered by stage machinery to resolve a plot or extricate the protagonist from a difficult situation.

Back in "Reloaded", when Neo, Trinity and Morpheus arrive with the Merovingian, you can see one of his bodyguards escorting out Sati's father - the man Neo met at Mobil ave. - probably after having finished the transaction to smuggle Sati into the matrix, which her father mentions to Neo in this film.
