Matrix: Lobby gunfight scene -> Why not just carry more mags and reload?

[JEDI]

instead of carry all those weapons and disposing of them?

have maybe 4 weapons:
dual uzi's
dual desert eagles

and lots and lots and lots of magazines for those weapons for reload

 

[rudeguy]

wouldn't look as cool in a movie

they got to choose what they carried. More guns is more fun than more bullets

wouldn't look as cool in a movie

 

[Xecuter]

not nearly as fucking awesome, you fail to realize hollywood incentives to make kickass things that are not nearly possible in real life.

and they were in a computer program, the logic and physics of the computer program may not correspond to that of which you experience in your life.

...duh

Or instead of asking for "guns," ask for some of those fun energy weapons that they had in the real world. Or hell, since it's just a computer program, ask for some lightsabers.

 

[Kelvrick]

How are you going to reload with a weapon in each hand?

Neo can fucking dodge bullets and jump across buildings, you think he can't handle the extra weight?

Producers: "We need epic gunfight seen, lots of mags, lots of rounds"

Focus group "Need desert eagles! Mp5's!! Need more shotguns!!"

Producers:"FUuuuuuuu!!!!"

Its like complaining about fight style in street fighter games.

[Aluvus]

Congratulations, you found the only plot hole in the Matrix series.

 

[Chapbass]

exactly
and when have you seen a Keanu Reeves movie that made sense?

This. Maybe they couldn't though because they were limited to the current tech in the Matrix world?

What about that crazy device they used to extract the tracker from neo's bellybutton early in the movie? Or the tracker itself?

Just a high-tech penis enlarger pump from Japan.

It would've have made one of the previous scenes look stupid and useless.

There were no guns...

 

[DaveSimmons]

Because that's the way John Woo likes it.
