Every Matrix Fight Ranked Worst To Best 

7. Morpheus Vs Agent Johnson (The Matrix Reloaded)

After seeing Neo take out three Agents with zero effort in the beginning of The Matrix Reloaded, it's easy to forget how unstoppable they are. When Morpheus is forced to fight Agent Johnson in the film's climax, we can see him fumbling throughout. Morpheus may be armed with a gun and a sword but there is no question that he is the underdog.

Having this scuffle on a moving truck was a nice way to avoid the fight becoming stagnant. Not only does Morpheus have to hold his own against a literal killing machine, he has to constantly avoid falling off the vehicle. On top of that, he has to monitor the Keymaker at the edge of the truck trailer who Agent Johnson is attempting to kill.

The fight is let down sometimes by some obvious green-screen but it is well put together and the callbacks to Morpheus fight with Neo are a nice touch.

As great as Neo's fights are, the stakes aren't usually that high since he is The One. Sometimes, it's more interesting to see his allies fight since we know they can actually lose.
