Goofs: Revealing mistakes: When Neo is firing the chain gun from the helicopter, we see Agent Smith firing at him from behind a couch, which then gets destroyed. The picture then changes and returns, and when it returns, after Smith has been shot, you can clearly see that he has been replaced by a dummy, as his shin bends forward when he falls. (more)

Trinity: Morpheus believes he is the one.
