Top 5 Matrix Kung Fu scenes

#5.Truck Crash. This scene from the Matrix Reloaded takes place on a semi truck, while driving down the freeway, at speeds probably close to 70 mph...which is why it's so awesome! Morpheus takes on an Agent in order to protect "the Key Maker" in a kung fu fight that could only happen while in the Matrix. Check it out here. or watch it below.


#4. "I know Kung Fu" was a quote I repeated many times in the halls of my high school, as my friends would attach me kung fu style while I was trying to get to class. This scene is when we first really realize how cool it would be to be able to get plugged in and learn things with the press of a button. Neo's first fight is in a sparring program that was created for kung fu training, Morpheus takes Neo to school. Check it out here, or watch it below.

#3. The Burly Brawl. There's only one reason why this scene didn't get first or second place in my mind, and that is because as soon as it switches from live action to CGI, it's very noticeable to me, it looks like a cartoon. I almost didn't even put this scene in my top 5, but because of the awesome live action stuff, it made it.  This scene has more kung fu moves in it than the entire first Matrix had, and one of the most known kung fu scenes in entertainment history.



#2. The Chateaux scene, Neo vs the Draculas. Easily one of my top 5, the choreography is simply amazing, combined with the sound effects and sweet round house kicks makes this scene absolutely mind bottling. Check it here, or watch it below.


#1. My favorite kung fu scene from the matrix, when Neo begins to believe, he finally figures out he has what it takes to be the One, and faces Agent Smith. This scene may not be the most flashy kung fu scene in the trilogy, but it the source of many karate chops to the throat in high school, and the beginning of one of the greatest Trilogy's created. Check it out here or watch it below.
