Goofs from IMDB.com - The Matrix Reloaded (2003)

Continuity: Bullet holes are already visible on a truck that will be shot at later in the freeway sequence.

Crew or equipment visible: After meeting the Oracle, when Neo is talking to Agent Smith in the courtyard, just before the second Agent Smith arrives: a reflection of a crewmember can be seen in Agent Smiths sunglasses crouching around a corner, possibly with a camera.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Since most of the highway carnage was achieved by real people, really crashing, flipping and generally badly treating real cars, a great many safety precautions had to be taken. These included roll cages and other modifications to the vehicles which may be visible in some shots. While, in the strictest sense, these are "revealing mistakes", we're inclined towards lenience on the grounds that we'd rather that stunt performers didn't have to suffer for our entertainment, and they don't actually detract from the spectacle.

Continuity: When Morpheus stabs the sword into the side of the truck it is about three feet from the top. When he stands on the sword, it is about six feet down on the side. Then when he grabs the sword to fight the agent, it is back at the top again

Continuity: When Trinity is driving down the freeway, the bullet holes in the right side of the car are not there on several occasions when the car comes into view from behind other vehicles.

Continuity: When The Architect is talking to Neo, the tie tack he's wearing appears to have fallen out of the left collar (right side on the screen) in one shot. Seconds later, it's back in place.

Continuity: When Trinity is driving on the freeway, her door is locked when seen from inside, but unlocked in exterior shots.

Continuity: During the car chase, the twins shoot out most of the windows in the car that Trinity and Morpheus are driving in. But when seen from the inside of the car, the windows are intact and there is no shattered glass to be seen.

Continuity: The cut on Trinity's right arm disappears and reappears throughout the freeway scene.

Continuity: During the freeway chase there is a shot over the shoulder of one of the twins as he shoots at our hero's car. He rakes his stream of bullets from left to right following the car as it passes behind a white van, but there are already bullet holes in the van *before* the stream of bullets ever reaches it.

Continuity: The tire on the front wheel of Trinity's Ducati 996 changes from slick to treaded a couple of times between shots.

Continuity: When Smith is talking to Neo in the park after seeing the oracle, the direction of the sunlight over Smith doesn't match the shadows in the park.

Continuity: When Neo meets the Oracle and she hands him a candy, she holds it out with the candy held between her fore- and middle fingers. When the camera shifts it is cradled in her palm, and then back to between her fingers.

Continuity: When Neo, Trinity and Morpheus visit Merovingian and are first seated at the long table, Merovingian has a glass of red wine - the amount in the glass changes inconsistently between shots.

Continuity: After one of the agents rips the roof off the car on the expressway, there are some shots that show the interior of the vehicle still dark as if the roof was still intact.

Continuity: When Neo is fighting Agent Smith in the playground his sun glasses keep vanishing and reappearing.

Continuity: When Morpheus falls off of the truck, and is caught by Niobe and Ghost, he breaks the front windshield. After Niobe moves the car to the front of the truck, you see a shot from Niobe's POV, where the windshield is unbroken. Later on, it is broken again.

Revealing mistakes: In the highway chase scene, when the agent leapfrogs onto the hood of a moving vehicle (which crushes into the ground in slow motion), you can see that the only light source is the sun, which is perpendicular to the highway (low and off to the right), and all objects in the scene are casting long shadows only to the left. The agent casts his long left shadow (which extends from the edge of the car's shadow as he lands on it), but also casts a second shadow just below and behind him directly on the car's hood. He is the only object in the scene that casts a downward shadow.

Revealing mistakes: During the fight between Neo and Agent Smith(s), Neo uses a steel pole which flexes during the live action parts of the fight, but is rigid during the CGI portions.

Revealing mistakes: When Trinity is falling from the building, the agent fires approximately 17 bullets from one clip.
