“The Matrix” Goofs List

• Continuity: When Neo has hundreds of acupuncture needles in his body, needles disappear from his head. The comments on DVD indicate that all of the needles were a prosthetic device except for the ones in his head. The real needles are there when the camera looks at him from the side, but then disappear as the camera moves in.
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: After Morpheus is rescued from the Agents, the blood and marks on his face are gone. He’s been under a huge stream of water that probably washed them away.
• Continuity: Near the end of the subway fight scene, Agent Smith throws Neo into a wall after which he falls onto the rails along with debris from the wall, but when Neo backflips onto the platform, the debris is neatly positioned by the wall.
• Continuity: During the lobby shootout, Neo cartwheels while firing an M-16 rifle at some guards, however, one shot shows Neo firing in completely the wrong direction.
• Continuity: When Neo passes through the metal detector before the lobby shootout, the side profile shot as he is stopped by the guard has him with his jacket halfway open. He is clearly unarmed as he is wearing a normal belt and there are no guns under his jacket. However, he then opens his jacket from a completely closed state to reveal that he is wearing a fully loaded gun belt with both weapons and ammo.
• Continuity: During the Subway fight scene between Neo and Smith, Neo’s hair turns from dusty to non-dusty, and back again several times.
• Revealing mistakes: During the fight scene between Neo and Agent Smith in the subway station, after Neo incapacitates the agent and flips out of the way of the oncoming train, you can see where the wire harness connects to his back. You can also see one of the wires visible by his wrist.
• Revealing mistakes: After Neo shots his whole ammo at his first Agent on the rooftop, he throws his guns away, but in the next famous bullet-time scene there are no guns in sight.
• Continuity: During the lobby shootout, Trinity sneaks up on a soldier who is reloading and kicks his SPAS-12 Shotgun out of his hands. In some shots, the guard is still holding the gun, but in other shots, he isn’t. However, when Trinity knocks him out and he hits the floor, the SPAS-12 clearly is still in his hands.
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Neo meets Trinity for the first time in the nightclub she is close to him talking in his ear. Even though she pauses between sentences the shot from the back of Trinity shows that her jaw is still moving during the pauses.
• Revealing mistakes: During the bit when Trinity’s helicopter is crashing, right after Neo says “Trinity!” there is a shot of the helicopter in slow motion falling and disappearing under the ledge of the building Neo is standing on in the foreground, with the building that it’s going to crash into behind. However, the helicopter is not reflected in the building’s windows.
• Continuity: When Morpheus is running towards the helicopter after Neo decimated the room with a minigun, Agent Smith walks in and fires his weapon through the wall, hoping to hit him. He shoots at a downward angle, but when we see the bullets pass by in slow motion, they are parallel with the floor.
• Continuity: When Agent Smith is interrogating Morpheus, he has his hands on his head, his index finger is in front of his ear in the shot from behind, but in the shot from the other direction, his index finger is behind his ear.
• Continuity: When Neo is being interrogated by the agents, Agent Smith plops a folder on the table. When he opens it, there are no pages on the back of the cover. When the camera shifts as Agent Smith is looking through the pages, we see several pages on the back of the cover that Agent Smith never placed there.
• Revealing mistakes: When Neo is fighting the agent in the subway scene, they shoot at each other in bullet time. Though there are bullets coming out of the pistols, the actions of the pistols (the top part of the gun that slides back to allow the spent cartridge to spring out of the barrel) are not moving to let the pistol reload. In spite of this, the slides are locked back once the guns are empty. In addition, there is no recoil.
• Continuity: When Morpheus and Neo are in the Agent Training program, the first shot of Neo you don’t see a dove in the reflective glass behind him, in the second shot you see one.
• Continuity: When Neo drops the phone, the first time you see the phone falling, there is a parade marching in the street below. Cut immediately back to Neo, the street is empty.
• Continuity: Numerous differences between sunglass reflections and the surroundings.
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Neo is rescuing Trinity from the falling helicopter, he slides across the roof of a building. When he reaches the edge, his foot hits the block causing it to move, but in a way consistent with a real block whose grout is imperfect; after all, that’s a rather large force.
• Continuity: After Neo is shot by Agent Smith, Trinity leans close to whisper. Her hair begins to fall over her face. Cut to another angle and her hair is back in place again.
• Continuity: Just before the door to the Oracle’s apartment opens, Morpheus has his glasses on. After the door opens and the camera angle switches, his glasses are in his left hand (visible after Neo crosses in front). Presumably he snatched them off in the same move that instantly took his arms from a 90-degree angle to straight down.
• Continuity: Cypher’s cigar changes hands in the restaurant.
• Continuity: As agent Smith is fighting Morpheus, he hits him several times with his head. Smith’s sunglasses are on-off-on between shots.
• Continuity: The piece of meat Cypher eats at the restaurant changes from one shot to the next.
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The Massive Attack song “Dissolved Girl” playing in Neo’s headphones is track 6 on the album, not track 5, and the timing on the counter is off in relation to the actual song. Given Neo’s equipment, it could well have been a homemade custom CD.
• Continuity: When his boss, Mr. Reinhart, is lecturing Thomas Anderson, Anderson’s hands are in front when seen from outside and from the rear, and behind him when seen from Mr. Reinhart’s desk.
• Continuity: When Morpheus and Neo move from the dojo to the jump program, the shot from their viewpoint looking down shows them landing far from any roof structures, on a building much higher than any nearby. The next shot of Neo shows them to be right next to a structure, on a building about as tall as one right across the street.
• Continuity: While Neo is on the way to the Oracle, his sideburns change length and shape.
• Continuity: When Morpheus is showing Neo the construct, there are no shadows (even under their feet). However, when Neo wants out, he steps back and there are shadows under his feet.
• Continuity: As the team prepares to visit the Oracle, we see Tank “loading them up” pressing buttons on the various keyboards around him. Before the last cut, his right hand is up, pressing buttons while his left hand is down. When we cut to the shot above Tank, his left arm is up and his right arm is down.
• Continuity: The gun Neo is handed as the police attack is a Zastava CZ-99, similar to the SIG-Sauer P228 but in later shots he is using a Glock, and then a CZ-99 again.
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The chain of ammunition for the gun in the helicopter does not feed directly into the gun; it goes through a feeding mechanism between the ammo box and the gun. Further, the shells that drop are indeed spent; they have a bottleneck shape that confuses some viewers.
• Revealing mistakes: During the fight scene in the subway, as the Agent is about to punch through the concrete post, the section to be punched out is clearly visible.
• Continuity: In the “dodge this” scene, Trinity’s gun changes from a Beretta 92F to a Beretta 84F.
• Continuity: When Neo backflips out of the train’s way, the distance between him and the train changes.
• Continuity: After Neo steals a man’s cellular phone and the agents shoot at him, we see him running down an alley with the back of his shirt untucked from his pants. As he kicks in the door, his shirt has tucked itself back into his pants.
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: During the rescue of Morpheus, at one point Trinity is seen to use both hands in controlling the flight stick of the helicopter. While a helicopter normally requires use of two sticks to control, in the kind of emergency situation shown, the collective (controlling up/down motion) can be temporarily ignored.
• Continuity: Blood on Neo’s
