The Matrix Reloaded

Corrected entry: The agent shoots bullets which are headed straight for the windows behind Trinity at the beginning of the film when they are falling out of the building. The windows never smash.

Correction: As the bullet trail shows, the bullet is heading for the wall underneath the window, not the window itself. Even IF the bullet is heading for the window, under bullet time, it has not reached the window yet.

Corrected entry: When the neb is coming into Zion, you don't see anyone at the direct base of the gate, you see someone closer to the center of the loading dock. When the gates close, you see a person in a giant mechanical suit and he slowly turns around, and slowly takes a few steps. There would not be enough time for that to get to the base of the gate.

Correction: Nope. A closer look at the scene shows that not only is there an APU moving in the distance, but there is a stationary APU standing right under the ship as it enters, in the exact spot we see it in the next shot.

Corrected entry: In the first Matrix movie, the phones they use are Nokia 8910 I think, well whatever they were, in this movie they changed to the Samsung ones, maybe because Samsung sponsored Reloaded?

Correction: The phones used in the second movie where made up. Samsung later made a similar model.

Corrected entry: In the freeway scene when the agent jumps on the car which then flips over. If you loo carefully you see there is no driver.

Correction: In the documentary, the drivers was inside the car, wearing heavy protection.

Corrected entry: When Neo is talking to the Oracle in the bench, the Oracle puts on her glove in her left hand just before Seraph says 'We must go'. In the following close-up shot, when she stands up, we can see for an instant her left hand without a glove. (00:50:10)

Correction: After she puts the glove on her left hand, we see one more shot with the glove on and then we don't see it again.

Corrected entry: In the freeway scene right before the Agent runs into the water barrels, he rams Trinity's car twice. The first time he does, if you play it in slow motion, you can see that Morpheus isn't wearing his glasses.

Correction: I have watched the the scene in slow-motion and he does wear his sunglasses.

Corrected entry: During the Highway Chase scene, several Agents refer to The Keymaker as an exile and try to delete/destroy him. But The Keymaker still has a purpose, to lead Neo to The Architect and The Mainframe so the code Neo carries can be reinserted to save the entire Matrix from a cataclysmic system failure. So why are The Agents (the very programs who are trying to protect The Matrix) following actions that ultimately would lead to its destruction?

Correction: Simply put, the Agents could not do their job efficiently if they were in on the joke. They think Neo is an anomaly, it is obvious they don't know what is going on.

Sol Parker

Corrected entry: In the scene on top of the truck, when Trinity is starting the motorcycle, she says to the Keymaker to "hop on". But when she starts the bike, a shot is shown of her legs and the lower part of the Ducati. Only one pair of legs ... Note that the wheels are already spinning, so it would have been impossible for the Keymaker to take a seat on the bike at a later point in time. (01:30:20)

Correction: The Keymaker didn't put his feet on the lower part of the bike. The next shot (when Trinity jumps off the semi) shows that his legs are crunched up above the back tyre.

Corrected entry: Near the end of the Chateau battle, Neo stabs the ponytail thug with a sword and kicks him off the balcony. Neo steals the thug's spear & jumps downstairs as the remaining henchmen follow. The Asian thug then breaks the spear in half with his spiked club. When Neo beats the henchmen with the 2 halves, the spearhead has disappeared. (01:19:40)

Correction: The spearhead has not disappeared - Neo is holding one of the halves in his left hand close to the spearhead, and it can be seen consistently throughout the last part of the fight.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Smith copies himself into his first body and enters the telephone afterwards, the first person to go through that telephone is holding something in an envelop and says that its really important. He then gives it to Neo, and Neo knows he has to go meet the oracle. How is it possible to transfer an object from the purely fictional matrix, to the "real" world?

Correction: Like every other 'physical' item within the Matrix, the envelope is representative of something else (eg. the blue or red pills, which in reality are programs designed to either take a person back to the Matrix, or help the crew pinpoint their physical location in the power grid). Think also of the tape that had to be dropped off at a certain point inside the Matrix, in the Animatrix short 'Final Flight of the Osiris'.

STP

Corrected entry: When Trinity hacks the computer system, the program displays "exploiting SSHv1 CRC32". This is the name of a security bug which exists in the real world. But this in-joke backfires because the bug has also already been fixed in the real world; there is no way the exploit would still work in the time of the Matrix.

Moose

Correction: There are many, many systems that are running unpatched, easily-exploited software.

Carl Fink

Corrected entry: In the scene where Neo fights three agents intruding Captain's meeting he is flipping around a pole and kicking the big bad guy. However, the agent's body begins twitching in the air well before the kick is actually delivered.

Correction: The agent is not twitching away from the imminent kick, he is pulling the right side of his body back to punch Neo. The punch never lands because Neo kicks him before the agent sends it forward.

Phoenix

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.

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.

Phil C.

Corrected entry: When the chancellor's speech is completed at Zion, he is about to introduce Morpheus. The audio dubbing is a split second off, you can hear the crowd start their massive cheering before he even made the introduction.

Timothy Conard

Correction: The crowd is anticipating based on the first syllable the chancellor pronounced - it sounds weird, but it's very common with popular speakers at large events, where the first name is heard and the last is drowned out.

Phoenix

Corrected entry: In Neo's dream about Trinity falling, she crashes into a car down on the street. In the very start of the shot that focuses on the car, the car slightly moves forward. This is very clear when played frame by frame.

Correction: The car is NOT stationary, if you watch over trinity's shoulder as she falls you can see the car moving.

Corrected entry: When the Twin shoots Trinity's Caddilac with about 100 rounds, it never blows up, but when he shoots other cars a with about 10 rounds, it takes them out and completely totals the other cars.

Correction: The drivers of the other vehicles panic when they are fired at, and so lose control of the vehicle, Trinity doesn't lose control, and so doesn't get totalled.

Corrected entry: After Morpheus' brief encounter with the Virus twins, he gets in the car with Trinity and the Keymaker. When he enters the car, the door doesn't make a sound when he closes it. (01:21:31)

Correction: You can hear the door shutting right after Trinity looks away from the twins and looks straight ahead towards the exit of the carpark.

Corrected entry: After the Keymaker is shot, he is shown turning around with little or no blood above his apron, but the next shot has his shirt soaking with blood around the holes in his shirt.

Correction: The blood is definitely there, there's a shadow on the Keymaker's shirt, so you can't see it.

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?

Correction: Bludgeoning attacks are not necessarily "inferior" in some way to piercing attacks. A well placed smashing strike can do more damage than a stab. Neo would have used the weapon as it was most effective, whether by slashing, stabbing, or striking hilt first.

Phil C.

Corrected entry: In the chase scene Morpheus and Trinity are desperately trying to get to an exit that Link has set up for them, and they are also trying to keep the Keymaker safe. But these goals are not consistent with each other. When they get to the exit they are going to have to leave the Keymaker (a program) sitting on the highway by himself, which would defeat the purpose of rescuing him.

Correction: Since the Keymaker is a program when they got to the phone they would be able to download him out of the Matrix. Not into the real world, but into a construct, as used extensively in the first film.

The Matrix Reloaded mistake picture

Continuity mistake: During the freeway scenes, the katana Morpheus used as a foot hold to grab the keymaker keeps moving. It was at arm's length from the top when he inserted it; when Morpheus was standing on it, the sword was a whole body length below the top; when Morpheus took the sword out in his fight against the agent, it was back in its original position.

Morpheus: Does the Commander have a plan for stopping 250,000 sentinels?
Niobe: A strategy is still being formulated.
Morpheus: I'm sure it is.

More quotes from The Matrix Reloaded

Trivia: Near the beginning of the film, Agent Smith drives up in an Audi with the license plate "IS 5416". This appears to be a Bible reference--Isaiah 54:16--reads as follows (from the King James Version): "Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy."

Chosen answer: Obsolete programs are given the choice of deletion or exile. The Merovingian takes them in and, with his abilities to code the Matrix, allows them to stay under his protection.
