Corrected entry: Isn't it weird that agents can easily dodge full clips of automatic machine guns at point blank range yet they can't dodge slower punches, kicks or katana blades?
Corrected entry: In the highway scene there is a lot of extreme driving occurring, which at many times results in cars crashing. Although these crashes occur many times behind our heroes, there seems to be a plentiful supply of fresh cars coming from behind who managed to dodge the accidents and speed up to catch up to our heroes, just in time to be involved in another accident.
Correction: The cars that the main characters are in are going a lot faster than the others are. They simply move fast enough for them to pass the normal cars up, thus placing more cars behind them.
Corrected entry: In the scene where the huge number of agents are fighting against Neo, you can see some of them running through a door. On the first shot, the door opens to the left side. The second shot shows the whole thing from above and the door opens to the right side.
Correction: Agents are coming through 3 doors.
Corrected entry: Granted, Zion's population is a mix of people freed from the Matrix and people born outside of it through natural means, but there are a lot of closeups of the dancing humans after Morpheus's speech and I did not see one person with any plugs in their arms, chests, or heads aside from Niobe, Morpheus, Trinity, and Neo.
Correction: You can see arm and chest plugs on some of the dancers after Morpheus' speech. It isn't just Niobe, Neo, Trinity and Morpheus that have them in this scene. It's also important to remember that it's almost always CHILDREN who are freed from the Matrix - remember Morpheus' comment in the first film, about making an exception in Neo's case? Yes, more people have been freed in the last 6 months than in the previous 6 years - but almost all children, who would not be at this temple meeting. Later on, when the Kid gives the spoon to Neo, he mentions that it's from 'one of the orphans'; more evidence that there are a lot of parentless children in Zion.
Corrected entry: In the first scene of the movie, when Trinity launches her motorcycle off the roof of the parking garage, we see her flip off, and land with her left leg folded under her, and her right leg straight out. We they cut back to the wide shot, she is standing up much taller, with both legs spread.
Correction: Between these shots is one where the guard outpost explodes. It can be assumed that Trinity stands up.
Corrected entry: When Trinity is attempting to hack into the power grid she uses a secure shell connection and types it in wrong. She types ssh 10.2.2.2 -l root. The correct syntax would be ssh -l root (IP address or name).
Correction: This is not true - ssl -l user ip-address works but ssh ip-address -l username works too.
Corrected entry: In the first movie, when Neo is recovering from being unplugged from the Matrix, there is a scene where they removed all of the metal plugs from his body - except for the last one in the back of his head. In Reloaded, all of the plugs are back.
Correction: They never removed the plugs from anyone, they only cleaned them out.
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.
Corrected entry: There is never any gasoline in any car or motorcycle that is transported on a truck. How did Trinity steal it?
Correction: Actually this is wrong. I went to go new car shopping the other day and there was a car transporter there. I watched the guy lower the platforms and drive some cars off before I had to go.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Neo is fighting the Smith clones, he uses a metal pole to bat Agents away. He hits one agent up and through the window of a nearby building. In shots afterwards, the window is seen intact.
Correction: He bounces off the window - you can hear it if you listen closely.
Corrected entry: In the scene when Trinity is falling down to the ground with the agent shooting at her, with the tight outfit she had on, where did the two machine guns came from?
Correction: She picked up those guns from the floor during the previous fight scene.
Corrected entry: When Morpheus is pulling the Keymaker off Trinity's motorcycle and onto the truck, he sticks his sword into the side of the truck and stands on it to reach him. However, he sticks the blade in vertically, so the edge faces the ground. Given that the sword cut easily through the greater part of the Twins' vehicle, shouldn't his weight be enough to force that strong, sharp blade down the side of the truck? (01:32:10)
Correction: Debatable, as while he does stick it vertically, the blade is also pointing upwards, meaning the blunt side is facing the ground, and would be a lot harder to force through the metal.
Corrected entry: This happens in the scene where Neo fights the Frenchman's henchmen. Together, the henchmen shoot hundreds of bullets at Neo, which he stops with his hand. However, when they begin to fight hand-to-hand the bullets are no longer seen on the floor. The bullets reappear later on in the scene.
Correction: If you watch the fight scene as things are broken and falling to the ground you can see the bullets.
Corrected entry: In the freeway scene, when the 2 agents smash the 2 truck together head on, the trucks crumple like a can, and then the trailers do the same. This would not happen, as the trailers are approx. 4 feet behind the truck. At best they would have some damage to the nose, and then jacknife off to the side.
Correction: This is the Matrix; the semis crash however it would want them too. Remember in the first movie when the helicopter crashed into the high rise building, the glass windows rippled all the way to the edges before exploding outward; same concept here.
Corrected entry: During the highway chase scene, Trinity and the Keymaker jump from an overpass onto the bed of the tractor-trailer carrying the motorcycles. The shot of their jump shows the truck passing under them, moving considerably faster then they are - however, the next shot shows them landing on their feet squarely and not falling backwards. This would have required them to be moving forward as fast as the truck - to have jumped out from the overpass with a forward velocity equal to the truck's - something that the previous shot shows they did not do.
Correction: Since they are in the matrix and they know that not all the real world rules of physics apply in the matrix that is something that could happen.
Corrected entry: In the hallway right before the Keymaker is shot, there are several close-up shots of Agent Smith as he is talking to Neo. At this time, you can see the camera lens in the reflection of Smith's sunglasses (the camera is really close to Smith's face, so you have to look closely, but it's there).
Correction: No, thats his eye.
Corrected entry: When Agent Smith transforms one of the rebels into another Smith, several times during the movie and the original we see characters reading the screens in the real world and being able to tell that there is an Agent, so presumably the operator could tell that the rebel was transformed into an Agent, so why didn't he hang up so Smith couldn't get out?
Correction: That's making the assumption that every operator knows everything at all times. No operators knew what Smith was until Neo said that it was an Agent. The operators just knew that it was something different.
Corrected entry: When Neo is fighting the Smiths with the metal pole in the playground, there is one part where Neo and Smith are holding it and it bends as if it were plastic.
Correction: You can reason that this was intentionally done by Neo to help him fight Smith.
Corrected entry: A lot of people might not agree but watching the big rave / dance scene in Zion just did not seem right to me. 250,000 Sentinals are drilling their way towards the city and will hit their target in less then 72 hours. The humans have nowhere to run. Does this seem like a good time to have a party? Wouldn't it be more prudent to prepare the city's defenses or even be working on more of them? I wouldn't care how motivating Morpheous's speech was, I'd be more worried about the machines then my dance routine.
Correction: This is an opinion rather than a mistake - plus he does a very good job of portraying the machines as nothing to be afraid of, given their inability to attack Zion in the past, and inspiring everyone to shed their fear.
Corrected entry: Throughout both the Matrix, and Reloaded, we see that it takes at least five seconds or more for a normal person to "transform" into an Agent. Yet on the Freeway chase, one Agent transforms from a human into an agent with his arm stretched out ready to fire in about a second, the time it takes to pass an obstruction.
Correction: Not quite so. On Matrix, when Neo is running away from agents, he runs thru some house department and gets thru a kitchen. There's an old woman with a kitchen knife on her hand, when Neo continues running he listens the knife hitting the door frame and when he turns back he sees an agent instead of the old lady. This transformation took also a fraction of a second. The Matrix can transform people into agents very fast indeed. We just don't know what affects the speed - possibly the weakness of the "host" mind.
Correction: The oracle explains that everything from birds to trees have a program that governs them. So do bullets. However, punches, kicks, and katana swings are all done by someone. If done by those that know how to bend the rules as well, who's to say they couldn't be hit?
