Burly Brawl

The name given to the action sequence that took place in a computer program called The Matrix in the film "The Matrix" in which super-Neo would battle more than 100 Agent Smiths in an extended orgy of kung fu.
As the team tossed ideas around for one hellacious fight scene that became known in-house as the Burly Brawl, Gaeta realized that the innovative technology he and his crew developed for The Matrix's ultra slo-mo action sequences would not be sufficient to bring the Wachowskis' new vision to the screen.


(Bullet Time was just the beginning. F/x guru John Gaeta reinvents cinematography with The Matrix Reloaded.

Super Burly Brawl

The name for an action special effects sequence in the movie "The Matrix:Revolutions".
The action set pieces to look out for in Revolutions including the Club Hell Coat Check showdown, Neo's fight with Bane on the Logos, and a Super Burly Brawl (a take from Reloaded's burly brawl) where he fights many Agent Smiths in the rain.
