Did you know

• In the last scene of the film, the bench the Oracle sits on has a small metal dedication plate on it that says "in Memory of Thomas Anderson".

• The street corner where Neo and Smith fight in the crater is the same corner from which Neo made his phone call at the end of The Matrix (1999) - the corner of Pitt, Hunter, and O'Connell Streets in Sydney, Australia. You can see the phone booth to the right when they hit the ground.

• Many of the "raindrops" in the final fight between Neo and Smith are actually single lines of Matrix code, similar to those on displays seen in the "real world" throughout the trilogy. This subtle effect was added to imply the Matrix was beginning to destabilize. This visual trick was easily seen on IMAX and larger movie theaters, but can be seen on smaller televisions as banded rain that seems to "jump" like static during close-ups of the fight scenes.
