300 cars were destroyed! This action scene is one of the craziest in cinema

If you’re a fan of the Matrix Saga, then this scene from the second installment of Reloaded should definitely be in your cinephile pantheon. What scene are you talking about? From the highway chase, a suitably stunning one that sees Morpheus and Trinity being chased by the twins and agents of the Matrix doing everything they can to protect the Master of Keys.

For this famous Matrix Reloaded sequence, which according to producer Joel Silver was going to redefine action cinema, the team did not require an existing highway. Unable to find anything affordable, he built one, over 3 kilometers long, on a former California naval base!

The figures associated with this crazy scene from the Wachowski film will make you dizzy. It took a year to prepare, 45 days to shoot and cost 2.5 million dollars. And there was damage, with the destruction of no less than 300 cars! In the end, the delirious sequence of The Matrix Reloaded lasts 26 minutes.

A few minutes of the incredible chase scene from “Matrix Reloaded”:

Everything was thought out down to the smallest detail to create this wonderful moment of cinema, which caused great admiration from Keanu Reeves, the interpreter of Neo. “To see the making of that scene, the stuntmen involved, it was extraordinary.”Says someone who recently organized an event with John Wick 4.

“Three cars were flying in the air at the same time, eighteen cars were running in cars, the actors were chasing the cameramen on motorbikes and also the motorbikes… it was really cool”, concludes the Hollywood star. We reassure him, it’s not just him who found this iconic sequence of the seventh art particularly cool!
