So...what happened to TANK?

I realize that they briefly mention Tank's death in RELOADED...but exactly how does HE die?

I don't remember them saying anything about Tank in Reloaded, but we'll probably find out in Revolutions.

yeah. i heard we find out what exactly happend to him. i remember something about him dying after a mission, or during one

well the dude who played tank is sueing the wachowski bros. he probably asked for too much money so they wrote out his character.

Supposedly, there were some problems with the actor, so they wrote out his character and replaced him with Link.

It's a shame, because Tank is one of the most laid-back characters in the Matrix and I'm playing favorites.

he died?

It was mentioned that he died. But the other posters are correct. Marcus Chong is sueing the Brothers. He has also been hanging about the studio while M.R. was being filmed I read somewhere. Not inside. Anyway, there was a big disagreement. Too bad. I loved his character too. Actually the only main characters are Neo, Trinity, Morpheous and Smith. That's it. Everyone else has been replaced. Reloaded and Revolution are actually one movie cut in half, so I am counting the replacement as only 2 movies... THE MATRIX and it's sequel.

I'll do that. I need my Matrix "fix" again. I'm getting the withdrawal sweats again. 🙁 Time to see M.R. again!!! 😄

I'll look for him in the trailer. 😄

Yep its true. He is suing the two studios involved for not hiring him.

Zee (Tanks sister) did mention him when she was talking to Link. Something about losing her two brothers (Dozer and Tank).

The link I posted tells you all you need to know.

That link doesn't work for me.

Well, DAMN...that is not right. Marcus was DENIED a great opportunity (to have such a SUCCESSFUL series under his belt), I realize that there are great opportunities for him in future roles...but, he really should have been in the sequels. Tank held his own in the FIRST MATRIX and survived!!! Tank really was full of energy...AND SURPRISES!!! It is a shame he and his character were so CHEAPLY written off...after all, if it wasn't for TANK saving Morpheous and crew...there would be no SEQUELS to speak of!!!

that article said he was an anarchist

"Why suggest that either my faiths of anarchy must be chosen or my goals for profit." Marcus Chong from the eonline article

there is a god, and her name is Eris!!!

Goddamnit. I loved tank. I agree with Damien totally, i hate it when characters get writ off like that with bearly any explanation and other something so petty as money!? Money shouldn't be an issue when working on something like the matrix. Oh well, Link's alright. Not as good as tank but he's okay he adds an element of innocence to the crew that i feel is lost with Neo realising himself as the one.

Marcus Chong didn't so himself any favours with his attitude to things. Still, regardless of whether the film was the worst for it I believe the brothers were working on the principle that an actor should not set his own salary unless he is indispensable.

The links not working for me either.

Duh! Silly me, THREE ts in 'boycott' and 'the'!
