During takes Keanu Reeves leaned over backwards to look underneath a table for some gum and the director thought it would be neat to add to the film

the actors who played morpheus and agent smith actually fell in love briefly because of all the hormones in their scenes together, it took them more takes than any other shot in the movie because Elrond keep licking the sweat off morpheus' head sensually

Inspiration for the film came from one of the young wachowskis looking at the top of a game boy screen and going "Woh"

There was originally a subplot about how when people in the matrix use customer loyalty punchcards, they actually change the program, and the Agents were trying to hunt them all down and destroy them, but they are just too effective a marketing tool to eradicate.

The PS1 save cartridge that Neo hands the guy at the beginning of the movie was a copy of his FF7 save where he had acquired both Knights of the Round Materia and also a gold chocobo.

the novelization was made from an early draft of the movie and still has several scenes where Trinity is referred to her original name "Egg Man"

The Machine sentinels were originally supposed to be humanoid in appearance. Also, the humans were supposed to be grotesque floating squid things so all in all it was a good thing they switched them

It is actually the sequel to Spaceballs and is the result of Dot losing her virgin alarm.

Deep Glove Bruno: yung swamp thang

the matrix is a metaphor for weed, getting high, and smoking dank. all the dialogue was originally just the characters talking about how high they were - the scenes played out identically in the final film but with different dialogue, about pills instead

Laurence Fishburne accidentally broke a toe by kicking a helmet during the kung-fu scene. He also broke a toe kicking a helmet during the red pill/blue pill scene. And the helicopter scene, the oracle scene, the scene where he asks Trinity if she believes Neo is the one, and the scene where they all sit round the dining table on the ship. The helmets were digitally removed from the final print.

Debate rages about whether the Merovingian caused the lady in Reloaded to have an orgasm when she ate the dessert, or poo poo her pants. According to directors commentary, the answer is actually both.

The matrix is actually a colony ship transporting the last remaining humans to a new home planet after earth was destroyed by transdimensional aliens, and the robot nursemaids are all bent out of shape because a couple of the humans keep waking up from stasis and loving everything up, as usual.

The word "Matrix" is actually ancient Hebrew for "Rock 'em sock 'em Robots"

Haptical Sales Slut: Age 18 to 49

The original draft of Matrix Revolutions included a graphic end sequence wherein we zoom into Smith's hand entering Neo at a nanoscale level and see his dna is sucking and loving neo to completion. He doesn't die, he's just satisfied.

the matrix was originally conceived as a sequel to commando "only even gayer" but when rae dawn chong backed out of the project they had to retool it and drop arnold, the fake south american dictatorship and all the cool stuff john matrix was gonna do with hand tools and shoulder mounted SAMs and stuff. the wachowskis claim "we knew it was gonna be poo poo without john matrix throwing sawblades through dudes heads so we just cooked up some old bullshit about computer aliens for filler and hit print. really disappointing"

In an early draft of the script there was a third pink pill, the "sissy hypnosis" pill but they cut it citing time constraints.

If you take the red pill you will never poo poo or orgasm again in your entire life but if you take the blue pill you will poo poo and orgasm constantly.
