The Matrix trilogy (1999-2003) (Advanced Plot Buster)

(SPOILER ALERT: DO NOT READ THIS POST IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHO DID WHAT)

[And now for an example of an Advanced Bust - not my own work, but that of the actor, comedian and writer Robert Webb, presenting a recent BBC Three program broadcast on UK television devoted to exposing a whole raft of continuity blunders that litter some of our favourite movie blockbusters. The Bust was used to introduce a collection of gaffes from the series.]

The Matrix series primarily consists of a trilogy of science-fiction-action films written and directed by the brothers Andy and Larry Wachowski, produced by Joel Silver, and starring Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne.

The premise of The Matrix [trilogy] is so simple it's hard to see how [its producers would] ever make a movie mistake.

Keanu Reeves is contacted by [Laurence Fishburne] a terrorist wanted by the government.

[Fishburne] explains that the real world is a ravaged wasteland where most of humanity have been captured by a race of machines which live off their body heat and imprison their minds with an artificial reality known as The Matrix.

[Reeves] must enter The Matrix and defeat the super powerful computer programs devoted to snuffing out the rebellion.

It pretty much writes itself.

Brilliant:)
