Line 206:
** ''[[The Matrix]] Reloaded''. During the freeway chase, just before the Agent jumps down onto the truck carrying Morpheus and the Keymaker the police radio says "One Adam-12 please respond", a reference to the old U.S. ''[[wikipedia:Adam-12|Adam-12]]'' TV show.
** ''[[The Matrix]] Revolutions''. Smith calls the Oracle "The great and powerful oracle", a reference to the line "The great and powerful Oz" in ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' (1939).
** In keeping with the movie's philosophical subtext, some of Zion's military personnel are named after famous philosophers. There's Commander Locke, Captain Soren (after Soren Kierkegaard), and Captain Ballard (after science fiction author [[J. G. Ballard]]).
** Also, there's Captain Mifune. There are two possibilities here.
*** In the original Japanese version of ''[[Speed Racer]]'' (which the Wachowski brothers are huge fans of), "Mifune" was the main character's last name. Fittingly, the brothers would go on to direct the live-action film of ''[[Speed Racer (film)|Speed Racer]]'' just a few years after finishing the Matrix trilogy.
