Cluster F-Bomb: The Merovingian's speech is epic: "Nom de dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperie de connard denculé de ta mère." An extremely rough translation for this is "Goddamn shit-fucking, filthy assholed motherfucker.".Not only is it a gunfight but a few close range martial arts and sword battles as well. This ends up attracting the attention of Agents in the process who join in as well. While Neo holds off the forces in the Chateau, Morpheus and Trinity grab the Keymaker and flee onto the highway with The Merovingian's top henchmen, The Twins, in pursuit. Car Chase Shoot Out: When Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus try to get The Merovingian to hand over the Keymaker, he refuses though Persephone allows them to rescue him.Link: You're not gonna believe this, you're all the way up in the mountains. Captain Obvious: Link when Neo gets transported to a different location in the Matrix when trying to escape the Merovingian's stronghold:.Can't You Read the Sign?: A "No Brawling" sign is briefly visible in the background during the Burly Brawl sequence.Calling Your Bathroom Breaks: The Merovingian, exemplifying his Sophisticated as Hell nature and, as he notes, another example of causality.Later, Agent Thompson is very clearly shown having to reload his Desert Eagle. First, the UMP-wielding Twin runs out of ammo and decides to try the more up-close-and-personal method of getting the Keymaker (although he fires a lot of rounds with no onscreen reloading - far more than his weapon would ever allow on a single magazine). Bottomless Magazines: Two notable aversions during the freeway chase.Blatant Lies: When Smith comes to the captains' meeting looking for Neo, the door guard says he's "never heard of him." Smith doesn't believe the guard for a second, and gives him a package for Neo, which the guard hands over to Neo after he arrives moments later.Big "YES!": Link when Neo rescues Morpheus and the Keymaker from the truck collision.Big Damn Heroes: Neo coming to save Morpheus and the Keymaker at the end of the freeway sequence, i.e.: the longest action sequence in the whole trilogy.The Architect sports a natty full beard. Or the "duh duh DUUUHH?!" music that plays when the camera pans over to him. How do we know that Bane is evil? Well, aside from the fact that we saw him get possessed by the Big Bad and the rumours that he sabotaged his teammates, the most compelling piece of evidence of his evil is probably the facial hair. At the end, Neo and his Evil Counterpart are lying unconscious.Badass Biker: Trinity when she steals a motorcycle during the highway chase scene to escape through the opposite lane.The rebellion Neo and the rest of Zion have been fighting has been nothing but the latest in a recurring cycle that the Machines allow in an effort to create the illusion not just inside the Matrix but outside as well that humanity still holds their destiny in their own hands. Neo is simply the latest in the line of "Ones", of which there have been five before and were given a choice upon stumbling on the Source: either reject the offer put forward by the Architect and witness the Matrix crash catastrophically, killing every human still connected to it, while the Machines lay waste to what remains in Zion to eradicate humanity entirely or travel to the Source, whereby twenty three men and women of the One's choosing will be used to repopulate Zion while what currently lays within is destroyed and the One is killed to reclaim the Prime Program. Awful Truth: An even more staggering truth than the previous movie's: the prophecy is a lie.Audible Sharpness: Plenty of examples: the Twins' straight razors, Morpheus' katana, the ENTIRE fight between Neo and the Merovingian's goons.Astonishingly Appropriate Interruption: "I just thought I should say oh shit, look out behind you!".Mjolnir itself, of course, is named after the weapon of Thor from Norse Mythology, and its English translation Hammer is also related to firearms. Arms and Armor Theme Naming: The crew aboard the Mjolnir all have names that have to do with guns: Roland, Maggie (could refer to Magnum or Magazine), AK, Colt, and Mauser.The Agents at the beginning of the film, Counselor Hamann, The Merovingian and finally The Architect all repeat slight rewordings of that sentence whilst talking to Neo. Arc Words: "Only/still human" reoccurs as characters either mockingly or thankfully (re)affirm that Neo retains his humanity despite his godlike status.Arc Number: 101 (Neo's apartment number in the first film) makes several appearances, including the address of the Merovingian's club and the number of the highway.Apologetic Attacker: An example where the person being attacked isn't a villain occurs when Seraph apologizes to Neo before attacking.
