10 More Movie Mistakes You Can't Believe You Didn't Spot

Like any effects-heavy blockbuster, The Matrix has a mind-boggling number of moving parts, and so it's little surprise that the film is packed to the gills with momentary mistakes that the Wachowski sisters simply hoped you'd be too enthralled to pay much attention to.

This being the Internet though, of course people spotted each and every single one of them.

There is one especially noticeable continuity gaffe late in the film, when Neo (Keanu Reeves) is shot twice by Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) and stumbles backwards into the wall behind him.

Look closely as Neo stumbles, though, and you'll see that there's already a bloodstain on the wall, which Neo is then falling backwards into, despite prior shots of the wall showing no blood whatsoever.

Clearly this was a continuity issue, where the shots were filmed out of order and a crew member either forgot to clean the blood from the wall or the Wachowskis simply assumed that nobody would notice.

Either way, it's very much a glitch in the Matrix itself that Neo's blood smears itself on the wall before he's even made contact with it.
