The Matrix Revolutions

Corrected entry: When the Trainman kicks/throws Neo into the subway wall, you can see that it is Keanu Reeves' stunt double - who hardly looks like him, by the way.

Correction: Although this was the case in the trailer, this was not visible in the movie itself.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Neo kisses Trinity after he tells her she may not be guaranteed life, we see the back of his neck - he has no plug things to be jacked into the Matrix with. Yet in the next scene where we see the back of his neck again, he does.

Correction: Neo's 'plug-in devices' are there. the one on his head is only half visible because of the shadows and Neo's dark hair. The one on his back is there ,but can't be seen because his sweater is covering it. instead you can see that there's a 'bump' under his sweater.

Correction: Her teeth are always white.

Dr Wilson

Corrected entry: In the scene where Trinity is talking to the Frenchman, the Frenchman's pin on his tie keeps disappearing, and then reappearing.

Correction: The pin is always there.

Dr Wilson

Corrected entry: The volume of the Earth is about 1,083,230,500,000,000,000,000 cubic metres. The volume of the atmosphere is about 25,503,400,000,000,000 cubic metres. Therefore, only 0.0023% of the Earth would need to be tunneled (either by humans or machines) before the atmosphere no longer existed at the surface. The graphic displays on the ships seem to show a tunnel density throughout the Earth of tens or hundreds of times that, so the atmosphere at the surface should not exist.

Correction: Uh, no. The amount of the earth tunneled could not be anywhere near 0.0023 %. According to your calculations, that's roughly 1.2 times the size of the moon. That would mean there would have to be holes equaling the size of the moon dug through the earth. In the final flight of Osirus, the captain notes that Zion is 4 kilometers down. Which is right near the mantel, which is molten magma, the first layer of the earths core. Even if you excavated 4 kilometers off the ENTIRE PLANET and somehow jettisoned it into space you'd only be removing 0.0006 % of the earth. There is plenty of atmosphere to fill that, and the tunnel system doesn't encompass anywhere near that much.

Correction: He is wearing them the whole time. Please note that his glasses don't have arms, you might have missed them when morpheus turns his head sideways.

Corrected entry: In the scene on the Hammer where the nurse is explaining the strange neural patterns she observed in Bane she says he has evidence of 'fibrotic scarring' in his brain. The brain can not form fibrous scars (it doesnt have the right cells) so scars would be 'glial' not 'fibrotic'.

Correction: She is refering to the pattern of the neural signal, not the cellular pattern.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Seraph and Sati are being chased by Mr. Smith when Seraph closes the last door that they are hiding behind, the doornob is on the right side. When Mr. Smith opens it the door opens with the doorknob on the left.

Correction: The knob is always on the left. They enter on one side (knob on right) so the other side is on the left.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Morpheus and Neo are hugging because Neo is about to leave, in the background the matrix code on the screens is falling normally, not messed up as it was earlier due to the matrix being near failure.

Correction: The reason the code was messed up is because Smith is "infecting" everyone inside the matrix. (point of reference: Matrix Reloaded: After Neo fights the Agents then flies away, Link explains to Morpheus what happened. "The code got all weird, encyption I've never seen before.") This occurs while Smith was talking to another Smith, and possibly infecting the "unconscience" agents around him. Thus, once Smith was done infecting everyone in the Matrix, the code returned to normal as nothing weird was happening. (Another point of reference: Matrix Revolutions: The code sequence during the "Oracle Take Over" scene, the code flies around in jumbles like that on the monitor screens.)

Corrected entry: When Trinity, Morpheus and Seraph find the Trainman for the first time, the trainman pulls out a revolver. During this scene he fires more than 10 shots out of the same revolver without reloading. Can't be due to him controling that world, because they're in the "real" matrix, not Mobil Ave.

Correction: It's not so much as "him controlling that world" as much as he himself is a program. That specific program is designed to 'have' unlimited bullets. He doesn't change the Matrix, he himself just isn't programed to abide by all the rules of the Matrix (such as: "You can only shoot the number of bullets that you have in your gun").

Corrected entry: When Agent Smith is talking to the oracle, there is at least one other agent standing behind him, but whenever the shot changes to look at him, there is no-one behind him. You should be able to see the top of at least one head.

Correction: The Smith that is talking to the Oracle is indeed in front of all the other Smiths, but the angle that the shot is shot is so that we only see him.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Seraph and Sati are being chased by Agent Smiths in the Oracle's apartment building, Seraph breaks open a door only to enter the room and close the door behind him. That door should not have clicked shut, nor would we hear Smith open the door while Seraph and Sati are hiding, as the lock was broken, so it should be able to just swing open. It's not just the second door we hear open - there are two door click noises.

Correction: Seraph only breaks the security lock (which you can see as he shuts it from the inside) as he turns the doorknob when he shoulders the door open. By doing this the knob and all its workings are left intact, thus it would still be possible for the door to click shut and open.

Stefanie

Corrected entry: In the scene with the APU getting reloaded by the "kid" you see his whole face get cut up then you see the "kid" go and try to help him. You also see a big gash right down the middle of his face. why is his face not bleeding? The slash just happened 5 seconds earlier.

Correction: The sentinial's claw was hot enough to burn the wound shut as soon as it was made.

Corrected entry: The first time the Trainman hits Neo in the stomach, he hits the wall with his back. He then falls, facing the train. When the train leaves, Neo is still lying there but has turned 90 degrees, his side facing the wall.

Correction: Neo doesn't fall facing the train, he falls with the train at his side. After he falls you can see the wall and the debris from the wall is behind him. Also Neo has to turn his head when the Trainman is talking to him so he can face him.

Corrected entry: When the Oracle is talking to Neo at some point we see a piece of cigarette ash land on her lip. We neither see her lick her lips, brush it away with her hand or see it fall from her mouth and in the next close up of her face it is gone.

Tobin OReilly

Correction: After we see the ash on her lip she takes another drag, the shot chages to Neo, then back to the Oracle taking the cigarette out of her mouth and exhaling the smoke. It would take less than a second for her to lick her lip. Also by her putting the cigarette back in her mouth, the cig. could have easily wiped off the ash.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Smith and Neo are fighting in the rain, they start running at each other. It zooms in behind one set of legs and in the background there aren't any other legs visible, despite the thousands of Smiths lining the road.

Correction: The Smiths are all wearing dark suits and it is nighttime. Whenever the lightning flashes, you can see them.

Correction: Actually they all have a shadow, the first and third are the easiest to see, as they walk in to talk to her.

Corrected entry: The whole plot of the Matrix trilogy basically comes down to the fact that the humans "scorched the sky" (i.e. they created black clouds all over the Earth), thus cutting the energy from the Sun to the machines. Therefore machines started to use humans as their source of power. In Revolutions we see that the machines are able to build huge structures (such as the Fields and the City) - so why did they just not build huge solar power panels above the clouds? They are capable enough to do that, surely?

Correction: I don't think the machines can come into contact or even close proximity with the scorched sky, or they will be damaged (note the sentinels that magically fall off the Logos when Trin takes it up into the sky (the Logos gets owned also)). Even if the machines could get a structure up into the clouds, the disabling energy from the sky would diactivate them. The "human power" was readily availible...the machines were just opportunistic. I do agree that the use of humans for energy is a little gratuitous, but it makes sense in the scope of the "world" at the time period of the movie.

Michael Westpy

Corrected entry: In the train station, the Indian program explains to Neo that he cannot come with his daughter because it is his karma to keep doing his job as a program. In both Hinduism and Buddhism (it is not definite which religion he is) karma is the overall value of one's spirit, or soul. The concept that he was speaking of was dharma, which is the duty that a soul is obligated to perform.

Correction: Actually, Karma has more than one meaning. Outside of Hinduism and Buddhism, it means 'fate; destiny' which was what the program was talking about. Karma in Hinduism and Buddhism does mean the overall value of one's spirit or soul. I don't remember if the program was religious so he could've meant it was his fate or his destiny to stay.

Corrected entry: After the EMP is fired at zion, which is supposed to fry all electronics, we see someone using one of those head-set walkie-talkies.

Correction: The EMP only seems to fry "running" electronics. Otherwise, every ship would be destroyed whenever it deployed a pulse. (I assume the trigger automatically shuts down all electronics before pulsing, then turns them back on). Therefore, they're probably using a spare set; setting off the pulse during the fight, however, destroyed all the active defenses, which made up the bulk of Zion's protection.

Continuity mistake: Sati and her family leave one suitcase when they get on the train (the one Neo was carrying), but when the train comes back and Trinity steps out, there is no suitcase. It can't have gone anywhere - as we see when Neo tries, the only way out is on the train, otherwise you're caught in a loop. (00:14:05 - 00:24:00)

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.
