Matrix2 - Reloaded.

[Guest air]

The following is a publicity pic of a V35 series Nissan Skyline 4-door:

Pretty nifty eh..... yeah.

Now the following shots were taken from the Matrix 2 Trailer... today...

We know you all know what this car is.

:lol:

You thought exactly as I did when I posted that same pic back a month or so on here. However as I was told ..."Sorry its not a skyline as its shot in the USA and they don't get Skylines, plus, the indicators on the side shot from the clip (on the bumper) are different....

Sorry to burst your bubble but someone popped mine to. Awesoem clip tho.

Heheheh...... well

Matrix is shot in Sydney, but the highway scene was shot on a highway built just for the movie. The highway has since been torn down, it was in California near an abandoned naval base.

Because the V35 Skylines are global models, available world-wide, and they are/will be availabe in the USA.

The different bumper-tail lights are due to the many different variations of the V35 series.

Cool, so it may still be, I can't remember what the other person said, I realise the movie was shot in Syd but didn't know the highway scene was shot in the US. Thanks for that.

The car is a stupid cadillac CTS

[BOOSTMEISTER]

YEH thats the one....But we can still pretend can't we :uh-huh:

I mean it does look a lot like the skyline

[Guest air]

I think it blows up or something in the end.... cos it wasn't fast enough or something. So I think its best this way.

However if they intended the car to simply go so fast that it just loses the pursuing vehicles, the movie would probably lose out cos it would get kinda boring..... so its better this way I think.

[BOOSTMEISTER]

I like your perspective on this..... and I agree totally, can't wait for the movie hey

[JiMb0]

I still don't see how it was confused ...

The CTS has wider pillars, front bar indicators, fatter grille, the mirrors are angled, and the wells are flared ....

You guys don't wear glases do you ?

[ix9]

Obviously we don't.

A quick-glance first view had me thinking it was the skyline... but the front grille gave it away.. didn't even notice the side-repeater indicators till later...

soooo... did the japs copy yet another design from another car manufacturer or is it the other way round this time... because both look very similar to one another.

down the drags a few months ago and in the pit lane a rx7 s4 and a porsche (whatever the model is thats like the s4, 9xx? ) were next to one another and its good to see the japs have their own unique way of styling things

:lol: :lol:

Look at the guys driving the thing.

No wonder they crashed

The driver is a crash test dummy:lol:

[JiMb0]

HAhaahaha, good observation

[Birty]

That's not a dummy, that's morpheus.

[Birty]

Oh, and he's not driving.

[Boostzor]

hmmm even better observation.

Didnt morpheus die in the first one?ahahah j/k

but will his ankle still be busted or is that just in the matrix?

he looks like a crash test dummy though

[JiMb0]

Maybe his father was a crash test dummy ? Come to think of it, you never hear about his parents do you !!! I think it's a conspiracy :confused:

[Guest air]

that shot is friggin crazy! the agent actually flips his own car and starts shooting through his own windscreen while he is flipping in the air just to get a few shots at the cadillac cts!!! that is insane! of course the agent doesnt give a stuff what happens after that cos he just goes back in through another human body / entry point or whateva the popular term is for that sort of stuff.

yeah...

They've been filming Matrix 2 & 3 in Pitt St and Hunter St (Sydney). Its a real pain, the streets is always locked off, especially late at night. Some cool American taxis and police cars parked on Castlereagh St. They were there all night a couple of weeks ago, just near Martin Place.

[JiMb0]

Really ? Cool, tell us next time you see em !! I wanna watch them filming !!
