• Movie Goof (revealing mistake): During the fight scene just after Neo has seen the oracle, the metal pole he uses bends when two agents hold on to it.
• When Neo confronts the Architect, the Architect tells him " [the perfect Matrix's] doom is apparent to me now as a consequence of the imperfection inherent in every human being..." Images flashing on the monitor screens during these two lines include Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Adolf Hitler, a nuclear bomb's explosion, Saddam Hussein, George W.
