138 Mistakes In The Matrix You Didn't Notice

9. 10?

Agent Smith finally catches up with neo and unloads his Desert Eagle into his chest. But he appears to fire 10+ rounds when that gun can only hold 9 bullets max.

8. Wrong Bullet

I am reliably informed that a Desert Eagle fires magnum cartridges but the ones falling on the ground are small 9mm bullets which wouldn't fire from that gun.

7. Unspent Cartridge

This gun is all kinds of wrong. Look at the bullet being ejected from the gun, it's still an unspent cartridge.

6. Where Did That Come From?

As Neo is shot, there is a blood patch on the rear wall that shouldn't be there yet. Is it from a previous take because Neo falls exactly on the spot where the blood is. And don't tell me its blood splatter from the bullet going through his body because it wouldn't make a perfect splat like it has. Also, if the bullets from the gun went through him, there are no impact marks on the wall.

5. Missing Something?

Another continuity mistake, this film is riddled with them. After Neo is shot by Agent Smith and ''reborn,'' some more bullets come his way which he stops and they all land by his feet. But in the long shot, the blood on the wall has disappeared as have all the bullets.

4. No Rifling Marks

Also, the CGI bullets that Neo stops have no rifling marks on them that a real bullet would have as it passes through the gun barrel. neither do the real bullets that fall on the ground. All fired bullets have riffling marks, that is what is used to identify what gun they were fired from.

3. Crazy Tiepin

As the two other agents stand and watch Agent Smith explode. The tiepin belonging to the agent on the left appears to have a mind of it's own as it moves around from shot to shot.
