Here are some mistakes that observant fans have noticed in the movie The Matrix, our number 2 spot this week:
In the scene where Agent Smith is interrogating Neo, after Smith has sealed Neo's mouth shut and he is backed into the corner, when the camera cuts back to Smith you can clearly see a reflection in his glasses of Neo still sitting down in the chair.
When the 3 agents visit the roof top where Neo saved Trinity from the chopper, you can clearly see the camera crew in the agents' sunglasses.
When Morpheus and his crew rescued Neo from the Matrix, how was it possible that Neo's real self had his ear pierced?
