Each episode, Tooter would yearn to be something he wasn’t and have his friend Mr. Wizard get me out of here.” – a reference to the 1960s cartoon Tooter Turtle. When Neo is calling to get extracted from the Matrix, he says, “Mr. Woo-ping Yuen, the fight choreographer for this movie, was director and fight choreographer for Jackie Chan’s early hit, Zui quan (1978) in which Jackie Chan’s character masters the style of Zui Chuan, or Drunken Boxing.

It might have been architectural graphics artist Matthew Bannister who, in his academic work, suggested that motion and time in video could be separated, and proposed an apparatus for doing it much like that used for the film (but who was unable to make it work with then-available technology).

There are many who might legitimately claim to have invented the time-freezing photographic technique used in the movie. The rooftops that Trinity runs across at the beginning of the film are the same ones that John Murdoch runs across in Dark City. Sets from the film Dark City (1998), including rooftops, buildings and others exteriors sets, were used in this film.
