btw, its not "slow motion bullets" its called bullet-time, theres difference. its not just slow motion, its rotation, watch teh making of the matrix and you'll see.....yeah BLade came out in 98 and matrix in 99 but matrix is like 4 years in teh making and i dont know about Blade, but Matrix is wayyy more original and the comic book style rocks
also, Morpheus doesnt shoot it until it explodes, he aims for teh gas tank beneath teh car and hits it and creates a spark which ignites the car and explodes (god damn i wanna go watch that movie right now so bad)
The chateau scene had more of the "core" Matrix feel: everybody jumping around all the time. But my vote is also with the freeway chase. I cant remember the last time that I had my jaw drop while watching a movie. It almost represents a mini-Matrix movie by itself: acrobatic fight scenes, slow-motion scene rotation, stuff blowing up, every character involved.....
The slo-mo of the cars rolling and crushing themselves into sheet metal was my favorite: very impressive. . We have come a long way from Dukes of Hazzard.
