The Matrix Reloaded

Revealing mistake: After the twins shoot the black Oldsmobile, it hits a barrier and does a spiral, and lands on its roof. That's impossible because the car's fender would have been torn off. It would have skidded a sharp right and went under the semi that Trinity was driving by. That indicates that there was a ramp to lift the car off the ground and do the spiral.

Revealing mistake: When the Keymaker closes the door with the Smiths firing at him, if you play it slowly you can see that no bullets actually hit him, as they would have caused bullet holes and blood stains, but his shirt stays perfectly fine right up to when he shuts the door.

Revealing mistake: When Smith is talking to Neo in the park after seeing the oracle, the direction of the sunlight over Smith doesn't match the shadows in the park.

Revealing mistake: When the Key-Maker shuts the door in the corridor-scene while being shot at by Smiths, one dead Smith-body lies in the corridor, the one that Neo knocked through the crown of other Smiths. When you look closely at the body of the Smith, you can see his right foot slowly moving.

Revealing mistake: In the freeway chase scene, look carefully at the interior of the cars that get flipped over by the Agents and the Twins. All of them are completely empty, meaning that either they are remotely controlled or they are simply towed by a hidden vehicle. This is most obvious when they are flipping in slow-motion.

Revealing mistake: In the freeway chase scene when one of the agents jumps onto the hood of the first car then jumps off, the car flips, then a second later as the car is still flipping you can see the gas tank and transmission have been removed. (01:23:45)

More quotes from The Matrix Reloaded

Trivia: In the highway chase scene, the license plate on Trinity's car says DA203. If you look in Daniel 2:3, which says "he said to them, 'I have had a dream that troubles me and I want to know what it means.'" This is possibly making reference to Neo's dream, because he went to the oracle partly to figure out what his dream about Trinity meant. The biblical text is speaking about King Nebuchadnezzar's searching for the meaning of his dream. In Verse 3, the Nebuchadnezzar says, "I have dreamed a dream." In Verse 5, when asked to explain his dream, he says, "The thing is gone from me" (all this is from the classic King James Version). Near the end of the movie as the Nebuchadnezzar explodes as a result of the sentinels' bomb, Morpheus says "I have dreamed a dream, and now that dream has gone from me."

Question: In the final trailer and on the UK DVD menu there is a shot of Neo putting his glasses on and it going to 'Matrix view'. Does anyone know why this shot was cut from the film,it's cool.The background looks like the 'Burly Brawl' location. Could it have been at the beginning of that? Any knowledge of this out there?

Answer: This was made just for the trailers. The same part (without the Matrix code) can be seen when Smith says "suprised to see me?" to which Neo replies "No." and puts on his sunglasses before the Burly Brawl.
