(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:)

Welcome to the Jungle
When there's something strange / In your picture house
Who 'ya gonna call? / Plot Busters!
Welcome to Genuine Jon's Movie Plot Busters, an occasional foray into the sometimes twisted world of motion picture story lines.
With apologies to Andy and Larry Wachowski...
Friend, sooner or later, you're going to realize, just as I did, that there's a difference between seeing the movie and understanding the plot.
I don't know if you're ready for what I have to show you, but unfortunately, your choices are limited.
Let me tell you why you are here.
You have come because you want to know something.
You're here because you know that there is something wrong.
You don't know what, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.
The hype. The hype is everywhere, it's all around us.
Even now, in this very blogosphere.
You can see it when you go to the pictures or turn on your television.
You can sense it when you read the paper, or when you go to the mall, or when you listen to the radio.
It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
The truth. That you are a slave, friend.
Like everyone else, you were born into bondage, born inside the prison of publicity that you cannot smell, taste, or touch.
A prison for your mind.
Unfortunately, no one is ever told what the hype is. You have to weed it out for yourself.
This is your last chance. After this, there is no going back.
You take the blue pill. The story ends. You go back to your reviews and believe whatever the publicists want you to believe.
You take the red pill. You stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.
Remember... all I am offering is the truth. Nothing more.
