20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Matrix
15. "Drunken Boxing"
One of the cleverest easter eggs in the entire movie concerns the very brief shots of Neo's crash course in hand-to-hand combat. As he's sat in the chair having the knowledge and muscle memory uploaded directly into his brain, several different style briefly flash up on the screen. Including the amusingly named "drunken boxing".
This is a nod to the movie's fight choreographer, Woo-Ping Yuen. A man who partially made his name while working as the choreographer on Jackie Chan's Drunken Master, a movie where the titular character sets out to learn the martial art style of Zui Chuan. Or, as it translates back into English... Drunken Boxing.
