138 Mistakes In The Matrix You Didn't Notice

109. Morpheus's Amazing Arm

We know Morpheus can move with the speed of the puma but this is either an example of his extraordinary abilities or just another editing screw up. In one shot, Morpheus's arm is behind him, then it's next to him and then behind him again. All in the duration of one handshake with Neo. Amazing.

108. Don't Take Sweets From Strangers!

Considering Morpheus at this stage is a complete stranger to Neo, he does seem very trusting and naive to swallow a pill handed to him by a man in sunglasses who happens to be hiding in a building that looks like a crack den.

107. Neo's Nappy

It's nice to see the machines taking care to put adult nappies on the humans they are harvesting for energy. After Neo wakes up in the pod and takes a ride down the slide into the water, as he emerges from the pipe, you can see he is wearing a nappy of sorts. In reality, it was probably there to save Keanu's modesty.

106. Why Not Kill Them?

To make their job easier, why don't the machines kill every human that wakes up? they know that some end up in an underground movement so why not prevent that by killing them instead of throwing them in some water?

105. Watch Your Feet

Look closely at Neo's feet as he is dragged from the water unconscious. When he gets to the top, he moves his feet out to avoid hitting the edge of the hatch.

104. Ouch!

Ive never wanted acupuncture, the idea of someone sticking lots of needles into my body was something that never appealed to me. Unfortunately for Neo, in order to bring his mussels back up to a fit working level, he had to endure hundreds of tiny pricks inside him. He also had a couple in his head but for some reason they appeared to have disappeared in the next shot.

103. Pierced Ears?

Even I will admit this is a bit nit-picky but in the Matrix world, it doesn't make much sense. After Neo is extracted from a life of being a battery, you can see that his ears are pierced. I doubt the machines take the time to make all their energy sources look pretty so when did he get those hole put in?
