The Matrix (1999)

Corrected entry: When Neo is on the rooftop, and the helicopter is crashing, he winds the rope around his arm and as the helicopter goes down, it drags him to the edge of the building which is surrounded by blocks of some kind. Notice, when he hits the blocks, the block under his right foot wobbles showing it's not real.

Correction: Notice, when he hits the blocks, the block under his right foot wobbles, showing the enormous force its under from Neo's skid and Trinity's fall. Creating drama as to whether or not Neo will be jerked over the edge as well.

The Matrix (1999)

Corrected entry: When Neo just enters the apartment room and is shot by Smith, the next shot is when Smith fires the Desert Eagle, but the camera is an overhead shot. You see the casing get ejected straight up into the air. This is not possible as the Desert Eagle and other pistols eject the spent casing upwards and slightly to the right over the user's shoulder.

Correction: When firing semi-automatic pistols, I've had shell casings fly to the left, slightly forward and even had one hit me square between the eyes! Straight up is certainly possible.

The Matrix (1999)

Corrected entry: Morpheus tells Neo that they don't release people after a certain age, but he did it because Neo is the one. However, later we find out that Cypher has been out of the Matrix for 9 years. This is hard to understand because Cypher is at least 10 years older than Neo. Why then did they release Cypher, if he also was past the certain age?

Correction: The "certain age" rule could have been put in place only in the past 2 years or so.
