Live from the home office in Wahoo, Nebraska (and with apologies to David Letterman), it's the Top Ten Surprises from The Matrix Reloaded:
- First movie was all a dream; Neo is really a Texas oil baron
- Dreadlocked villains talk like Jar-Jar, provide wacky comic relief for the kiddies
- Agent Smith revealed to be a pirated copy of Windows Me
- Exciting freeway chase scene not a special effect—they just filmed a typical L.A. freeway at rush hour
- Wachowski brothers created Carrie-Anne Moss by wearing bras on their heads, hooking up doll to computer, and hacking into military mainframe
- CGI Keanu Reeves a better actor than the real one
- In surprise twist ending, Neo learns that Morpheus is his father
- Cornel West still on lecture circuit 200 years from now
- Rampant product placement as Neo enjoys a Pepsi at the Zion McDonald's
- Sir Ian McKellen inexplicably does not appear in film
