Corrected entry: In the car chase on the freeway, we see a car flipping over, complete with lots of broken glass etc - however the glass is going upwards with the car, as if it was recorded in the opposite direction and played back in the film in reverse, making the shot look slightly odd.

Corrected entry: During the Château fight, Neo hits the bad guys several times with the butt-end of his sai daggers. Wouldn't this fight go a lot quicker if he used the pointy ends?

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: In the first movie, when agents are killed, they revert back to the form of the person that they stole their body off. Throughout Reloaded, especially in the first fight scene (Upgrades), when agents are killed, they stay in their 'agent form'
Correction: Neo did NOT kill the Agents in the first fight scene, only knocked them out. In none of the other scenes where Agents actually take a bullet or are part of a car crash do we actually see the bodies left behind, so it's reasonable to assume they exited the bodies then just as before.

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: A case of dodgy wire-work comes into play in Niobe's fighting scene at the power station. When she goes to kick one of the guards, she doesn't jump into the air as Trinity or other characters do - she is obviously pulled into the air. Watch closely and you'll notice.
4th Sep 2003
The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: In the highway scene where Morpheus stands in between the two trucks, the katana is on the left truck. When he catches the keymaker, he throws him onto the truck on the right and then fights an agent on the same truck, but when he is hanging on the side of the truck the katana magically appears.

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: In the freeway scene, when they are coming out from behind the truck, the shot-out tire is inflated then deflated again.
Correction: Wrong. Once shot out, the tire is never again seen "inflated", just as it should be. The tire occasionally changes shape as the car swerves back and forth (as would occur naturally) but it never "reinflates" itself.
26th Aug 2003
The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: When neo is talking to the Council member because they both can't sleep, the Council member mentions that he doesn't like sleep, and has been sleeping for 11 years so he figures he'd make up for the lost time, this would mean that he was plugged in. But there is no plug in the back of his head, and its not in his hair. (00:17:00)
Correction: We see plugs in many of the stars of the film because they still need to use theirs to reenter the Matrix. It is reasonable to assume that people like Councillor Hamann (and some of the other people we see, for example, during the celebration scene) would never need to reenter the Matrix and would want all evidence of their prior lives removed, plugs and all.
26th Aug 2003
The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: During the freeway chase sequence, Morpheus is fighting against an Agent on the top of a truck. Morpheus wards him off pretty well considering that he got his guts kicked out by Agent Smith in the first movie. Quite a progress in contrast to Trinity who while fighting against an Agent in the skyscraper gets herself thrown around like a doll and even takes a bullet in the belly. It's never explained why Morpheus has suddenly become so powerful.
Correction: Agent Smith in the first film was the premier Agent, the strongest and fastest and most powerful of them all. Something else to keep in mind: Morpheus only managed to do so well against Agent Johnson because he had a weapon, giving him much more of an edge in hand-to-hand combat. Even so, he gets flung around quite a bit himself and the end result is the same: he still loses the fight.

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: When Trinity is about to jump down with the keymaker to the bikes in the freeway scene, she is on the left side of the keymaker. When you see them in mid-air, she's suddenly to the right of him.
Correction: Trinity leaped forward and to the right. Because she made a stronger leap than the Keymaker, who is considerably less athletic, the first two shots show her rapidly passing him in mid-air. By the time the camera shifts to the low-angle shot, she is far enough out in front of him so that she actually appears to be to the right when they are seen from directly behind and from a low angle.
6th Jun 2003
The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: In the freeway chase scene one of the twins is shooting at the Cadillac to his left. They are separated by one lane and the twin has a clear shot. Both cars then pull up to another car traveling in the middle lane and the twin's shot is blocked by this tan SUV. The twin decides to shot through the tan SUV and you see blood sprayed on the windshield. In the next shot you see all three cars from the front and the tan SUV flips over forward. There is now no blood on the SUV's front windshield.
Correction: There's no blood sprayed on the windshield at all. The red color on the windshield that you see in the shot from the side is visible even before the Twin fires. It's a reflection from the outside, which of course would not be visible from a different camera angle.
20th May 2003
The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: During the entire time that Trinity and Morpheus are being shot at by the twin in the car, we never see him reload his gun, despite the fact that he fires about 350 shots at them from one clip. It can't be due to them being able to bend the rules of the matrix, as eventually he runs out of ammo, looks at the gun in disgust and ditches it.
Correction: Just because we never SEE him reload his gun doesn't mean that he didn't do it at all. There are any number of times when the camera cuts away from him; he could have been reloading during any of those.
26th May 2003
The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: In the Chateau where Neo fights the Merovingian's men, after the men shoot at Neo, only to have their bullets stopped, they all drop their guns. Throughout the rest of the scene, the guns are nowhere to be found.
Correction: Wrong. The tommy gun ends up near the edge of one of the black squares on the floor; another rifle ends up near the edge of the curl at the end of the left staircase; still another one ends up at the base of one of the statues; the others can be seen in several shots during the fight. Not a single one of them disappears.

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: There is no "West 101" - Highway 101 only runs North and South.
Correction: It's never specified which city/cities action takes place in within the Matrix. As such, it doesn't have to follow any specific highway naming conventions.
26th May 2003
The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: During the part just before the twin gets his arm caught in a door, Trinity and the keymaker are by the door, it cuts to Morpheus picking up a sword, then the twin in front of him solidifies. Trinity and the Keymaker go through the door with Morpheus now right behind them, and close it - Morpheus has somehow got past the twin with no problems and is in the car park with them.
15th May 2003
The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: After Niobe's car windshield gets smashed by Morpheus we see a side view of Morpheus jumping from Niobe's car to the semi truck. In this view we can see that Niobe's windshield is no longer broken.
Correction: Yes, it is. From the side, the only part of the windshield that is visible is the driver's side half of the windshield, which was mostly intact. You can still see the faint white traces of cracks even from that angle, though.

Correction: It may look odd to the submitter of this "mistake", but the fact is that the scene was shot in real-time and simply slowed down. It wasn't reversed or manipulated. There's nothing remarkable about broken glass flying upwards during a wreck.
