During the scene where Neo dodges bullets on the rooftop and trinity shoots the agent in the head. Neo tosses his guns in front of him. but when the filmmakers use clever camerawork to spin around the actor Keanu Reeves, you clearly see no guns in front of him. their gone. disappeared. Worst editing I've ever seen.
shareBy very definition, if hardly anyone catches it, its obviously not the worst mistake ever.
Also I fail to see whats so especially horrible about it. I see continguency errors like that all the time everywhere.

Worst ever? Check the goofs section on most movies and youll see at least one mistake like this. Scenes are shot in many takes and many tries and its easy to make mistakes like this if they arent careful.
sharetrinity didn't shoot anyone in the head on the roof
the guns are not the only thing that are missing from that shot. the shot/technique/bullet-time was simply a nascent technology, the amount of detail they were able to put into the shot was minimal. I'd hardly even call it a goof, more a conscious decision that included visual limitation due to lack of computer power/rendering/tech...
and like others have said, there are a gazillion worse mistakes in movie history (including some in that very movie).
Here are some personal favs from James Bond movies.

The car being turned the opposite way is a riot :)
And yet there are several shots with thousands of pieces of broken glass cascading....
shareIt's not an "editing" mistake because the creators didn't use "clever camerawork". The environment was fully CGI during the 360 shot, only Neo was live action. The guns aren't there because they were never modeled to be put in the 3D environment in the first place. It's not a case of forgetting to throw two fake guns to the ground before they film the scene.
So, yes, it's a mistake but it has to do with VFX, not editing.
It's not necessarily a mistake. Remember that this is not the real world, the useless guns are deleted to save computing power. Why render a gun that's useless?
Then again, if this was done a lot, people would start to notice.
Of course it's actually a mistake, but perhaps we can at least use the whole 'virtual world' universe to explain it away to a degree.
Those guns don't belong to that world anyway, they were created outside The Matrix. Perhaps The Matrix regards them as glitches and simply deletes them out of existence. After all, they are 'extra', and shouldn't be there. Perhaps the computer compares the list of all objects that exist in The Matrix to those guns, and finds them to be redundant?
(Actually, when you think about it, The Matrix could do the same to the bullets before they hit anything or anyone - also, why don't the agents (or why doesn't The Matrix) employ the 'mouth-restraining tech' in the fight scenes, is another question I have about all this.
When you really THINK about things, so many things suddenly make no sense in movies..)
They're gone.
their gone.
Morpheus and Neo were also shot and later they were running, jumping and fighting as if nothing happened.. Just rubbish

Call it a minor goof or continuity issue. It is still far from worst movie mistake ever. “Theoretically” speaking, it shouldn’t even count as a goof. These guns were designed for the matrix. Some things, especially ineffective things, get removed... so I’ve heard :/
