20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Matrix

17. Bruce Lee

Despite being planned and storyboarded to within an inch of its life, The Matrix does include a number of unscripted or improvised moments. Ironically, they all tend to come during the most highly-choreographed moments of the movie, despite the actors spending literally months in training to ensure they had their routines down.

One of the most notable concerns a brief moment when Neo attempts to gather himself during the training fight with Morpheus. Setting himself up for the next bout, he quickly brushes his nose in what Keanu Reeves would later reveal was an ad-libbed tribute to Bruce Lee. Despite it not being the best take, he successfully lobbied to keep it in the film.
