there are alot of them , but decided to post only the first important ones. some of these will trip you out.
The Matrix (1999) - 176 mistakes
The scene where Morpheus is giving Neo the pill choices they have a view where Neo and the pills are reflected on different lenses of his sunglasses. Neo reaches for the red pill, then Morpheus says something and the lens-split view comes into play again. You see Neo's hand on the red pill side reaching up, while on the blue side you can still see the same arm but it's not moving.
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 calmly sitting down in the chair.
When Neo is going to open the door to enter the Oracle's house, you can clearly see a camera on the doorknob.
Neo and Trinity kill all those soldiers on the roof before the agent comes to fight them. The agent shoots at Neo and during the whole dodging bullets scene every single corpse is gone. More to the point, Trinity's disappeared too!
When Neo is out on the scaffolding and looses his phone, in one shot you see the phone falling towards an empty street, then you cut to Neo, and then back to the falling phone. This time the street is filled with people and a big parade.
In the scene with Laurence Fishburne fighting the agent in the bathroom of the building they were trapped in, the agent punches through a brick wall, yet next time we see the wall, there is no damage.
During the fight scene between Neo and the agent in the subway station, after Neo incapacitates the agent and flips out of the way of the oncoming train, you can see where the wire harness connected to his back.
In the interrogation room, agent Smith takes off his sunglasses. In the next scene you can see them on the table; during the scene they change position and disappear a couple of times.
Not really a mistake, just something to notice. When Neo is at work in his supervisor's office getting yelled at, notice the window washers. When the camera shoots from the outside of the building, look at the soap on the window.. it strangely resembles the Matrix pattern as displayed on a computer screen. Also take notice of the look of confusion on Neo's face- like he had seen that pattern somewhere before.
In the scene where Neo is at the office. While in his cubicle, he gets an express delivery. As he signs for it you can see another arm laying on the desk behind him. In the next scene he hands back the clipboard, you see it is only him and the delivery man. [This one's visible on the non-widescreen video, but not on DVD (UK, anyway)]
When Neo is fighting the agent in the subway, he wipes his blood on the back of his hand, but when he puts his fists up the blood is gone.
In the beginning of the move when Neo gets the FedEx envelope, he is shown at his desk opening the envelope and then pouring it out...As he is pouring the phone out, with the green packing label on the top, the shot cuts "seamlessly" to a close up of the phone being poured out the rest of the way._ However, the envelope is now flipped over._ The logo FedEx logo is now on top (the packing label is facing down).
In the scene where Neo comes back from the conversation with the oracle, a part of the cookie, which he has got from the oracle, is bitten off. A few seconds later he wants to eat the cookie and there is no sign of a bite anymore.
When Keanu first meets Fishburne, Fishburne extends his right hand with his other hand behind his back, next shot shows him with his left hand at his side, and when he withdraws his hand, it is back behind his back...talk about fast hands!
When on the roof, Neo fires at the enemy agent, who dodges all his bullets, but the windows of the building behind him are undamaged.
In the scene 'Rooftop Rescue', when Morpheus is hanging from Neo's arm (who is hanging from the helicopter), a safety wire is visible running out of Morpheus' sleeve and into Neo's hand.
In the scene where Morpheus is being interrogated by the agent alone, the camera switches from behind Morpheus, to just forward of him and back a few times._ If you look at the agent's hand on Morpheus' head, you can see that his fingers switch from behind his ear to both sides of his ears as the camera changes.
After the Lobby scene in the Government building, Neo and Trinity enter the elevator and the pillars are shown falling to pieces. Where are the dead/unconscious guards?
When it is Neo's turn to make the Jump he takes a run up, and the camera changes to a sideshot of him running across the top of the building with the sky behind him. There is a big fuzzy blobby outline around him which should have been edited out. I only saw this in slomo first time round, but now I notice it every time.
When in the agent training program, there is a view from above, you can see a slight green reflection below and on Morpheus's trench coat. Neo's coat was designed not to reflect and this is actually the only time Morpheus was in front of a green screen with the coat on.
