Keanu Reeves’ The Matrix is now over 25 years old. While the movie is still relevant as ever and is just as eye-catching as it was when it was released, it is crazier to think that Neo first appeared over two and a half decades ago.
Keanu Reeves as Neo in The Matrix films
A classic science fiction movie, that has stood the test of time, the iconic black leather coat and sunglasses are still a fashion staple. Despite the passage of time, the film’s themes and visual effects remain as impressive as ever. But hidden among those is a hilarious reference to a Japanese sushi recipe that nobody ever noticed.

The Matrix’s (1999) famous green code
One is a thrilling science fiction film, that explores the concept of a simulated reality. And the other is a delicious cuisine that continues to be enjoyed worldwide.

If you’ve ever wondered what that green text in “The Matrix” really meant, prepare for an answer that’s almost as anticlimactic as the third movie in the Wachowskis’ sci-fi trilogy: sushi. That’s according to production designer Simon Whiteley, who designed the “digital rain” but had his work go uncredited.
“I like to tell everybody that The Matrix’s code is made out of Japanese sushi recipes,” Whiteley tells CNet in a new interview. He says he scanned the characters from his wife’s Japanese cookbooks and, “without that code, there is no Matrix.” Whoa.
Whether Whiteley also lobbied to have Keanu Reeves’ famous “I know kung fu,” declaration replaced with “I know how to make a spicy tuna roll,...
