Every Matrix Fight Ranked Worst To Best 

5. Neo Vs Agent Brown (The Matrix)

As Morpheus is interrogated by Agents, Neo and Trinity infiltrate the facility and assault a horde of security officers on the rooftop. As the pair dispose of the men, Agent Brown possesses a helicopter pilot and confronts his leather-clad rivals.

Brown may be a mere minion to Agent Smith but this brief encounter proves how outmatched the humans are. Even though Neo empties two entire clips at Brown, the monotonous machine evades the bullets with little to no effort.

As Brown fires his pistol, Neo bends back at inhuman speed to dodge the bullets. Although a stray shell catches Neo's knee, Trinity puts a bullet in Brown's head before he has a chance to finish him off.

Despite the scene's brevity, the rooftop set-piece is one of the greatest action pieces in cinematic history. Despite the fact it has been parodied over a hundred times, the scene still stands, even when compared to the special effects and fight scenes of today. Trinity's "Dodge this" quip is a bit cheesy but it works since it's so satsifying seeing an Agent being defeated for once.
