The Matrix Reloaded. 2003. USA. Written and directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski. Fight choreography by Yuen Woo-ping. With Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, Jada Pinkett Smith. 35mm. 136 min.
The second chapter of the Matrix saga finds Neo (Keanu Reeves), Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), and Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) racing to defend the last human city from an imminent machine assault. Expanding the visual and physical vocabulary of its predecessor, The Matrix Reloaded pushes action choreography to an unprecedented scale. Yuen Woo-ping returned to orchestrate hyper-complex fight sequences that combine his signature wirework and martial arts choreography with cutting-edge visual effects. Centerpieces include Neo battling dozens of Agent Smith clones and a hair-raising highway chase featuring hand-to-hand combat atop moving vehicles.
