The Matrix Revolutions

Corrected entry: Kid tells Mifune he is 16, while in Reloaded, ie. a few hours earlier, he stated he was 17, as he was thinking about which crew to join next year. It can't be due to lying about his age (he tells Mifune first of all that he's 18), as while Mifune might have been fooled in the heat of battle, his age is no doubt on record in realation to when he's ready for official duty.

Correction: "Kid" never says his age, all he says is, "next year I'm old enough to join a crew....". It's never mentioned how old you have to be a join a ship, just that you have to be 18 to join the "service".

Michael Westpy

Corrected entry: During the bullet time shot of Neo punching Agent Smith, the raindrops are entirely the wrong shape. In real high-speed photography, raindrops are hemispheres, like the top of a dome - no matter how heavy the rain is.

Correction: The Wachowski Bros. did say that they wanted the rain in the Superbrawl to look like falling code, to symbolise the Matrix falling apart.

Corrected entry: When Smith and Neo are running towards each other in the rain at the beginning of the Super Brawl, it shows a shot of Smith's feet from behind and the rain soaked gorund in front of him. Nowhere can you see Neo running towards him.

Correction: I noticed this but looked a bit more closely - the rain and darkness combine to give very short visibility, especially seeing as this shot is low to the ground. You shouldn't be able to see Neo from this perspective.

Jez

Corrected entry: In the scene where Neo tells Trinity to fly over the sentinels, you see her pull back on the sticks with both hands, however, immediately before and after she is holding Neo's hand.

Correction: Upon close inspection, you never see Trin's right hand grab the stick, only her left. She does indeed hold on to Neo.

Michael Westpy

Corrected entry: In the scene where Trinity, Morpheus, and Seraph are chasing the Train man through the station Seraph is about to go up the stairs but the Train man shoots at him and he backs up against a wall. The shot changes to the Train man shooting again and Seraph does exactly the same thing, up against the wall from the same posistion.

Correction: It isn't a repeat of the same shot. Seraph was trying to step out and resume the chase, but he was fired on again, and had to retreat back to his hiding place.

Corrected entry: We already know, via the Architect's speech at the end of Reloaded, that there have been five 'Ones' before Neo. Now, Revolutions signals the end of the machine/human war, and thus a lasting peace. This lulls a viewer into thinking that there will be no more 'Ones' after this. However, consider this: The Architect only said that there were five before Neo; he did NOT specify the delay between each One appearing. It could well be that each of the Ones beforehand made peace with the machines, but then the war sparked off again. Just something to think about...

Correction: The Architect says what the past "Ones" had to do and did. Neo doesn't do this. I dont think the Architect was lying because of what he said at the end of the movie. The Architect said Zion had been destroyed five times, it wouldn't have been if past Ones had made peace.

Sol Parker

Corrected entry: In relation to Neo taking a ship to the Machine City, someone says something along the lines of "But no one has been within 100km of the Machine City in 100 years", but in the first Matrix, Morpheus says something like "I did not believe it until I saw it with my own eyes".

Correction: Morpheus stated in the first Matrix that there are "endless fields" he saw with his own eyes. These endless fields reach in every direction, Morpheus could have been hundreds of miles away from the main city when he saw them, supporting the claim that no one has come within 100km of the actual city.

Stefanie

Corrected entry: When Neo goes to visit the Oracle before he returns to the ship, there is a pack of cigarettes on the table when the Oracle is speaking with Neo. It moves around throughout the scene without her ever moving it.

Correction: The Oracle moves it to get a cigarette out. The rest of the time it remains where it was put.

Jez

Corrected entry: In the scene where Neo and Smith are fighting inside the building, Neo gets thrown against a wall and there is a circular depression formed. Smith and Neo then attack each other which results in Neo being thrown in the opposite direction and yet he ends up landing on the same wall with the same depression.

Correction: He is thrown straight back, NOT in the opposite direction. So he would have hit the same wall again.

Jez

Corrected entry: In the scene when Neo fights against Agent Smith in the rain you can see in one shot it is raining against Neo but in shots of Smith it's raining against him too, despite them running in opposite directions.

Correction: It is raining vertically downwards, with no apparent wind. The drops hit Neo and Smith because they are running into them, so the effect is correct.

Jez

Corrected entry: In the scene when Mifune is out in the dock, fighting the Sentinels, his APU's right weapon runs out of ammo in one shot. A shot later, Kid is struggling towards the APU with new ammo for it, and you can see the APU shooting with its right weapon despite not having been reloaded yet.

Correction: It doesn't actually run out, the guy in it holds it up, and can see the end of the bullets is almost at the gun, and he knows that it takes a while to reload, so he calls for more ammo before he runs out.

Corrected entry: In his alternate "fiery vision," after the attack by Bane aboard the Logos, Neo delivers the final blow to Bane's head, so hard that the skull is completely severed from the body. Yet in the very next shot, when the camera returns to "normal vision" showing Neo standing above Bane's corpse on the ship's floor, the head is exactly where it's supposed to be, still firmly attached. There's no reason for his alternate vision to be that different from reality.

Correction: His body also disintegrates into thin air before he hits the ground, so I'm guessing the decapitation is just a representation of his programming being destroyed, not the physical body.

Johny English

Corrected entry: According to the storyline of the Matrix, the humans destroyed the sun to ensure the machines had no power source. But in Revolutions, as Trinity and Neo go above the clouds over the human crop fields, Trinity says, "beautiful" as she sees the 'sun'.

Correction: WHAT??!? Try watching the first film again. At no point does anyone say that they destroyed the sun, we just hear that humans scorched the sky, forcing permanent deep cloud cover over the earth to shut down the solar powered machines. It's easy to fly over cloud cover - ever been in a plane?

Corrected entry: Neo's body is laying on a table in the ship unconscious, and he is trapped on the train station. Trinity saves him, then they visit the Oracle. When they come back to the ship, he's sitting in the chair, and crew members unplug him.

Correction: There has to be a reasonable length of time between Trinity being in the club and making her way to the station - plenty of time for the people on board to carry Neo to a chair and plug him in, ready to extract him once he's back in the "regular" matrix. Wouldn't have made that interesting a sequence...

Corrected entry: When Neo and the Train man are fighting, the train man hits Neo into the wall, cracking it. After being left alone for awhile, when the camera comes back to Neo sitting on the bench waiting, the wall has not been damaged.

Correction: There are 4 "sections" of that station - two in the middle with benches, and one either end without. The left hand section gets cracked, but this isn't seen when Neo's sitting down - whenever it's onscreen it's damaged.

Corrected entry: In the beginning of the siege scene, the big drill drops into Zion. In one angle, the drill is inches off the ground, then we switch angles where the drill is a good 20 feet off the gound coming down into Zion.

Correction: In the first shot where it appears close to the ground, the camera is several hundred feet away - perspective makes it appear closer to the ground than it actually is. In the second shot, the camera is right next to the drill, so the actual height can be determined before it crashes to the ground below.

Corrected entry: In the previous installment, Matrix Reloaded, Captain Niobe and her crew are seen inside the Matrix disabling a power grid. An accident aboard there ship, kills their operator, which would prevent them from exiting the matrix (since no-one could cause the an exit phone to ring). In addition, we see sentinels attack their ship and inside the Matrix, their self projectiosn fall uncoscious (resulting in Trinity having to enter the Matrix to complete there work). HOW THEN... do they can their consciousness exit the Matrix? They are found outside their ship in the real world, in Matrix Revolutions.

Correction: Niobe's part of a separate team (Morpheus says it himself - three captains, three objectives). Morpheus' crew gets to the building, Niobe's crew blows up the power station, and the other crew (which dies before completing it) has to shut down the backup grid. The accident kills them and Trinity goes in to finish the job.

Corrected entry: If Zion so desparately needs an EMP from a ship when the Sentinels are attacking, then why didn't they just build one inside the city itself years ago?

Correction: For the very reason Lock is furious - triggering an EMP near the city wipes out all of their other defences, leaving them open to a later attack.

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film when Trinity, Morpheus and Seraph are fighting the doorman at the Merovingian's club, Trinity shoots one of the doorman at very close range, but from the back we see only two exit wounds. (00:14:55)

The-Immortal

Correction: The third shot has an effect, the lighting makes it very hard to see, though.

The Matrix Revolutions mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: As the Oracle stands up from the bench, right at the end (after she says "Someday"), you can see a strip of yellow tape on the back of the bench marking the right place for her to sit. (01:54:40)

More mistakes in The Matrix Revolutions

Agent Smith: Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something? For more than just your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desparately to justify an existence that is without meaning or porpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why?! Why do you persist?!
Neo: Because I choose to.

More trivia for The Matrix Revolutions

Question: Given most of the Characters are called by their 'hacker' names in the real world, why is the Captain of the Hammer called Roland? Does this have any biblical/mythical significance?

Answer: I think he could be named after the legendary Roland from European mythology. Roland was Emperor Charlemagne's nephew, I think. He and his friend died fighting off the treacherous Moors, supposedly. Roland was really big in medieval beliefs.
