At the end of the first MATRIX movie, KR as Neo leaves the phone booth. Right across the street is a wedge shaped building that's similar to the fictional Continental_Hotel in New_York. 

"As you approach the Radisson Blu in Sydney, you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s the John Wick hotel: The Continental." https://melodydexter.com/more/blog/radisson-blu-sydney-the-john-wick-hotel/

https://luxuryescapes.com/inspiration/inside-paradox-sydney-hotel While the building was there several decades before 1990s, it wasn't a hotel yet.

https://www.timeout.com/sydney/hotels/paradox Of course there are several wedged shaped buildings around the world. Its just some fascinating serendipity and synchronicity that such a building was right across the street from the MATRIX Superman phone-booth.

Neo's Message "Ending Scene" | The Matrix (1999) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHW8zC7I5ho This is such a powerful last scene, because it reveals that Neo will be doing more of his Superman thing in the MATRIX. Plus, a foreshadowing of a wedge shaped building in Sydney that is of a similar general shape as The Continental_Hotel in NYC.

Who is John Matrix and who is John Wick?

Sometimes a certain name will become more pertinent in a person's life. 

https://www.reddit.com/r/matrix/comments/1vrk5uc/comment/p4fkmt9/ 

Then later on, that name will even have even more significance.

https://www.reddit.com/r/matrix/comments/1vrk5uc/comment/p4ex3yy

Technically, one could say that there is no connection between John Matrix and John Wick. 

However, several years before Joel_Silver would meet The_Wachowskis to eventually produce the first and then 2 more MATRIX movies, he just happened to produce the Commando movie with its main character being, Colonel John Matrix. https://hero.fandom.com/wiki/John_Matrix

Then, at the end of the first MATRIX movie in Sydney, Keanu Reeves as Neo walks out of a phone booth that's across the street from a building with a peculiar shape. 

https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+Matrix+filming+location

There happens to be a building across the street from the Sydney phone booth that has a similar shape to the NY Continental Hotel in the John Wick movies.

https://melodydexter.com/more/blog/radisson-blu-sydney-the-john-wick-hotel 

Is it just another coincidence, or is it synchronicity?

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Paradox+Sydney

Of course when people first saw the MATRIX in 1999, there was no concept of the John Wick character yet, let alone the wedge shaped Continental Hotel. 

So as Neo takes off from the phone booth, it is revealed that he is like the Superman of cyberspace, or is part of the Superman MATRIX.

One of the key things about pondering a simulation theory, thought experiment is to notice some very peculiar synchronicity that does seem to be part of this earthly reality. 

https://news.ok.ubc.ca/2025/10/30/ubco-study-debunks-the-idea-that-the-universe-is-a-computer-simulation Some say that its just not possible, so don't bother to look for any clues.

How many people just thought that it's impossible to have a cosmic scale simulation? So, don't give it any serious thought. Really?

https://www.reddit.com/r/STEW_ScTecEngWorld/comments/1oki1h7/ubco_study_debunks_the_idea_that_the_universe_is At the very least, the simulation hypothesis is a fantastic plot element in several Sci-Fi stories.

Yet, something like a very advanced version of SimCity, the 13th Floor & very advanced flight simulators, can still reveal plenty of clues about this world.

City on Fire (1979 film)

City_on_Fire is about an out of control oil refinery conflagration that's not necessarily set in the Greater Houston Area or in L.A. County. It's set in a generic North American metropolis.

LA and Los_Angeles_County is a much larger area than Greater Houston. Some parts of Los_Angeles_County still have a wilderness feel and some parts still have heavily wooded sections or even forest_areas.
