🎞️ Interesting fact: The Matrix Reloaded (2003) — For the freeway chase — one of the most ambitious action scenes ever filmed — the Wachowskis had a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) freeway built from scratch on a decommissioned naval base. It took 3 months to construct, and the entire sequence was shot on that custom-built road with real cars and stunts instead of CGI. | Clips

The Matrix | Behind-The-Scenes It’s been a long journey from Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure to The Matrix. Along the way Keanu Reeves has done Shakespeare and Bertolucci, vampires and surfing. The Wachowski’s had no problem making a choice about who they wanted to do the fight choreography. They had seen the work of Yuen Woo Ping, as a director in The Tai Chi Master, Iron Monkey, and Wing Chun, and as the fight choreographer in the Jet Li movies Fist of Legend and Once Upon a Time in China.
