Visible crew/equipment: In the "Desert of the Real" scene where Morpheus is sitting on the chair while explaining the Matrix to Neo, at a certain point he raises the head to the sky and in that moment the boom mic is visible reflected on his sunglasses.
Visible crew/equipment: In the final scene where Neo exits from the phone booth and wears his sunglasses some crewmembers are reflected on them.
Continuity mistake: When Neo is following Morpheus' instruction to escape the agents who have come to arrest him at work, the location of the knot in his tie changes - note the pattern.
Continuity mistake: In the subway fight scene, Neo is thrown to the floor and wipes blood from his mouth on his hand. It then cuts back to Agent Smith. When it cuts back to Neo, he assumes a fighting stance and you can see that there is no blood on either side of his hands.
Other mistake: The date of birth shown in Neo's passport is 13th September 1971. The date of birth shown in his security file is 11th March 1962.
Continuity mistake: In the "Deja vu" scene, Neo uses a CZ99 pistol to shoot through the wall at the police officer, but when Agent Smith bursts through the wall and grabs him, Neo is holding a Glock 17.
Chosen answer: No, they don't address it, other than Morpheus' speech during the test. It's not something that they have any realistic choice about, so they just have to accept it and do what they need to do. Mouse, yes, he chooses to defend himself when cornered, but who wouldn't? These may be innocent victims of the Matrix he's shooting at, but they're still there to kill him - he's hardly going to stand there and accept his fate meekly. There's also no indication that the guards were "completely prepared" to let Neo and Trinity into what's clearly a high security building, undoubtedly they would have been asked for identification, what their purpose was there and so forth and turned away if, as seems likely, their answers weren't satisfactory. Shooting their way in from the start is likely their only option. Yes, it's absolutely ethically unfortunate, but if they're going to resist the machines successfully, it's not something they have any choice about. A necessary evil.
